The early access of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has just started, and things are getting crowded with queues already visible on many congested servers. This isn't really surprising, since preorders for the game were apparently through the roof, as shared by Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida.
The downloadable PC version of the game is also currently first on Amazon US's best seller charts for games.
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."
Well deserved IMO, I wont get to play until Monday myself (work) but I really enjoyed Beta 4.
The best thing is they don't make you pay £40/50 for the box and then the monthly fee, I got mine for £13 on Shopto before the raised it to £15 and IMO more MMO's with a sub should follow this route, you look at ESO which is going to have a monthly fee and item shop and the box is still $60.
Well desrved indeed. An amazing game! Glad it's finally out :)
5 long days wait is finally over since beta, ahhh it feels good to be back in eorzea :D
Servers are mad, monster being chopped down everywhere.
I'm at work counting the hours until I can get home and play. I just hope the servers are up to all the pressure!
And they say Final Fantasy is dead.
