Final Fantasy XIV: hundreds of players honor a friend who died of coronavirus

The famous Square Enix game community has shown off the most empathetic face in the MMO genre. A truly emotional farewell.

The coronavirus is bringing out the most caring face in the video game industry; also the most humane. The possibilities of Final Fantasy XIV are gigantic both for the tools that the game offers in its definition as MMORPG and for its expression as a means of socializing with others. This time, to bid farewell to a good friend who died from COVID-19.

Funeral with memorial march: the last goodbye to your friend

Hundreds of players decided to fire what was until then one more in that community with a funeral, a user who participated in that fictional universe that kept and continues to keep all of them together in these times of confinement. The rite carried with it its corresponding memorial march with dozens of intertwined, coordinated and silent players to say goodbye to this person who is already resting, known in the community as Ferne Le'roy on the Zalera servers and Poppy Rose on the Coeurl servers .

There will be more expansions of Final Fantasy XIV in the future

The disease, which has already claimed more than 119,000 lives worldwide, is in the process of being contained while thousands of health workers are looking for a vaccine that prevents possible future outbreaks from causing the health, economic and psychological damage of the current pandemic.

FreeGameTips was able to chat last August with Naoki Yoshida, the true architect of Final Fantasy XIV being revitalized from A Real Reborn and Stormblood to the recent Shadowbringers, for many the most exalted expansion of the current generation. The Japanese manager acknowledged past mistakes and showed the game's success through his statements, a profile concerned with quality in all his productions. In addition, he confirmed that yes, there will be more expansions in the future.

Final Fantasy XIV is currently available on PlayStation 4 and PC.
