The devs did say that after pushing out some secondary weapons for characters that they'll work on quality of life things and clean up the game a bit. Knowing DerpCat however, they'll likely just make things worse.
"Twelve million on the Karok with the Teddy Bear Backpack!" he exclaimed. The jaws of other patrons dropped insecurely at such raw, unprotected gambling.
Lord of Vermilion Arena (LoVA)
Type: MOBA
Localization: Japanese only
Publisher: Square Enix
--About the Game--
LoVA was basically the ultimate weebo version of arena games like LoL, HotS, DotA... (2 teams, 3 lanes, 3 turrets in each lane, a main building to destroy, etc.). Regular games consist of 14 players (7 on each team), and each player controls their own personal avatar alongside up to 4 additional units, which can also be swapped among up to 3 alternatives. The flexibility and player skill involves swapping out the units you command; there are no item choices or ability-leveling choices to be made once a match has started. Prior to the start of the match, you can customize your personal avatar with equipment and change the units that will be available to you during matches.
--Final Days--
Several months before the servers were shut down, Square Enix sent emails to all players to thank and inform them that LoVA was being shut down to commit more resources to Lord of Vermilion Re:3. They also provided a couple of codes for LoV Re:3 and a couple of other games that could be redeemed for some stuff. The LoV Re:3 code unlocked the LoVA title screen music.
All units in the LoVA store were reduced to one in-game currency, and all players were given some ridiculously high amount of in-game currency to purchase anything and everything in the game. I wasn't online during the final hours of LoVA, but a friend told me a lot of dedicate players were on up until the servers shut down for good. There was a special thank you message tagged on to the usual "servers will be shutting down in X hours and Y minutes".
Honestly, there is no excuse as to why this game should have been shut down. Simply making it global would have made it a huge hit, especially after LoL's retcon of 2014.
Final Fantasy XIV
Type: MMORPG
Localization: Global
Publisher: Square Enix
--About the Game--
Technically, this game was remade. However, I think it's still worth mentioning because the developers literally blew up the world to remake it. Those who are interested can read up on it.
--Final Days--
Emails, blogs, etc. There was a lot of talk about the game ending and getting remade. The in-game story involved a giant meteor that was going to crash into the planet, and during the final days of the original FFXIV, you could actually see the meteor in the sky, in-game, getting closer with each passing month. When the servers finally shutdown, there was a cinematic:
I don't play A Realm Reborn though because my toaster can't run it, and I lost interest in it once the world blew up...it seemed like a fitting end for my character.
The sales page claims that "Beach Party" inner armor can be worn by Sylas, Lynn and Arisha. It could be a typo, but I'm not familiar with what Sylas can wear, or if he has a different version with the same name. http://vindictus.nexon.net/news/21293/elven-royalty-sales
