Gaming Trend: "Square Enix’s next stab at the MMORPG-verse is only weeks away, with the final phase of the Beta run wrapping up this week. While it took a while for many to get their applications filed and their Avatars scampering about Erozea, I am happy to say that the current forecast for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is 'so far, so good’."
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."
After participating in closed beta this game is all I can think about. Open beta starts in a couple of weeks, check it out.

i will bet money that during open beta, all the servers will be full, then when pay to play hits, servers will be dead as a dreamcast.
