Final Fantasy granted three Guinness World Records, including most prolific RPG series

Final Fantasy is now the proud owner of three Guinness World Records, mostly thanks to Final Fantasy XIV‘s achievements.

Thanks to the online RPG, Square Enix now holds the world record for “the longest end credits in an MMORPG game,” which clocks in at 1 hour and 38 minutes. This comes because of all the players from version 1.0 being included in the closing roll. These “Legacy Players” were added out of gratitude for sticking with the game after it was forced to relaunch itself as A Realm Reborn following the critical lashing it received upon its first release.

Final Fantasy XIV also holds the record for “the most original pieces of music in a video game” at a staggering 384. Yeah, that’s a lot. Hope some composers are getting paid overtime for that work.
