Square Enix announced that FFXIV reached 1.5 million registered accounts in two months, and that patch 2.1 will be launched in December.
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."
It's a great MMORPG. Unfortunately, although I enjoy many MMORPG aspects like quests, progression, exploration, the worlds, and I love FFXIV gathering and crafting system, I really don't like partying with random people to go to dungeons. And as I don't have any friends who play FFXIV and some dungeons are mandatory to continue the plot and get important things like a bank and mounts, I lost interest pretty quickly.
It's good that this game is doing well, but I had my account accessed by some Gil sellers. My account was locked, I contact customer support through chat and they wanted me to scan either a driver's license or passport to prove who I am and send it to them.
I don't like that idea at all. For one, they don't know who I am to begin with, so how would my passport prove who I am? They should use a different method on unlocking your account.
My character wasn't very high at the time, I was taking advantage of the 7 day free trial they were offering, just to check out the game. I got p***** off and decided to delete my account. A few weeks later, it had an email saying my account had been locked after it was compromised by another person and has been unlocked. Was to late for that. They should of sorted it out weeks ago.
I would like to play it again, but might do so on the PS3, with a fresh start, new account and secure my account a bit more.
I'm loving the game. Have a level 50 Arcanist and Alchemist now, and am continually finding things enjoyable. Endgame so far has even been fun, which I find kind of rare in the opening months of an MMO.
I only want this and only this
