Square Enix is taking another stab at Final Fantasy XIV, which launched in 2010 to widespread disappointment (opens in new tab).

There’s something about MMO trailers that just sends a chill up our spines. Some place deep inside, at the base of our brain stems gets all stimulated when epic female narrators start talking about “heroes answering the call” and “realms” and “crystals.” We’re powerless to resist.
