Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn opened up into open beta yesterday. Check it out your self by signing up here, the beta is only open from the 17th – 19th so jump on quickly.
Today, during a pane at PAX East, Square Enix announced the release date of the next expansion Dawntrail, on top of the editions and more.
The MMORPG will arrive on Xbox consoles on 21st March following its open beta, with Square Enix releasing further details on the launch in a new Lodestone blog post.
Not only is Game Pass required to play the game in full, but FFXIV Coins will be required to make purchases - a new currency not used on PC or PlayStation.
What's even the point if they're doing everything possible to convince people NOT to play?
Bad idea. Kind of at the point its almost like a repeat of FFXI on the 360 with it requiring Gold to play.
Greed greed nothing but greed. Anyone who willingly plays 14 on Xbox is a bona fide sucker.
Kotaku writes: "That’s thanks to a series of announcements from Square Enix about exclusive features and play requirements, the latest being a new currency called FFXIV Coins."
"The game currently is very unstable" - It's a Beta release...did you expect anything different?
"all quests and information are relayed via the old-fashioned way of text on your screen. It can often be tedious to read through everything while understanding what they’re all talking about." - You mean you have to think or pay attention while playing a game? Oh no!
"The whole game feels as if it’s been created in the early years of 2000 and touched up with barely HD graphics." - If you played the original you'll know that it's been toned down because there were alot of people who couldn't play it because it looked so damn good. They needed to tone it down to allow maximum coverage.
And it's 'undersight' not 'under-site'
Fair enough it's your own opinion and I can't knock you for it but you can't kill off a full game just from the first hour or two of beta you had.
I tried this over the wwekend on ps3 and have decided its not for me. Its nice to see the option of mmos on console and i hope it is improved next gen but for me initial impressions werent good
Waaayy too much text to read with no audio from the characters just made it feel really empty (unless this was a bug) and the ps3 u.i was just an eye sore and a bit of a put off as a new comer
I imagine it would be improved on kb/mouse, but hopefully its better this time round for series fans and those that may have felt left out first time round
Cant log in n last time i tried.fire et up once home lmao
There's so many big major improvements over FF11 including graphics and i'm really happy that its alot easier to solo in FF14. Also i love that i can go into a town and still summon Carbuncle. Also Game pad controls are very friendly and easy to use.
Well I absolutely loved it and can't wait for the full release
