Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has surpassed 2 million registered accounts globally, Square Enix has announced today. With the launch of the PS4 version this week, along with players on both PC and PS3, FFXIV marks one of the biggest cross-platform MMOs to date.
Previously it was revealed the game retains on average 500,000 daily users as well.
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."
Oddly enough, despite it's an MMO, it is actually the best Final Fantasy Square Enix has released in years. Possibly since X.
I hope it does better. Its an amazing game and can't stop playing it. So much to do but so little time for me during the day. Also the game is so beautiful on the PS4.
Its actually a very good game, and so far the best next-gen console RPG.
Very happy with my PS4 purchase, only a few months in and I already have a lot of quality games spanning almost all the genres, many of which are console brand exclusives.
I remember before it came out they said they would need 500k subs I am glad to see its doing so well!
it's good! play it now!
