Last year, during the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival event in Las Vegas where series producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) took to the main stage in the opening keynote to announce Stormblood, the next expansion in the XIV series. Square Enix also revealed that the developer would stop supporting the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Support for the PlayStation 3 version of FINAL FANTASY XIV is scheduled to end with the release of latest expansion, FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood. In accordance with this ending of service, PlayStation 3 users will have the opportunity to upgrade to the PlayStation 4 version free of charge via the upgrade campaign which ends on December 31, 2017. The official hopes that players will take this opportunity to upgrade that they may continue to enjoy exciting new adventures in FINAL FANTASY XIV.
