Why can’t I log in to Final Fantasy XIV?

Final Fantasy XIV has become a game that millions of players regularly enjoy. This online-only experience is one of the most popular games in the MMO genre. An online game like Final Fantasy XIV comes with some negatives, one of them being server maintenance.
