Square Enix just made a rather groundbreaking announcement that affects those that purchased the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and plan to upgrade to the PS4 version when it’ll be released.
Oh yeah!!! There's yet another example of Sony doing what's right for their gaming community. You'd never see micro$$$$$oft doing this. You have to pay some kind of fee, if they even let you do it at all. Way to go Sony. Lead by example.
so basically you are a dumbass if you play this game on anything other then a playstation system? anyone who gets the xbox version is just stupid at this point.
Yeah. They would also have to be magicians if they got the Xbox version because there isn't one. Anyway is great news for me. Already have the pc and ps3 versions. PS4 paid off too.
Although this game is not that graphics intensive the PC version will always be able to play at higher resolutions than 1080p (for those who have the capabilities). Still the PS4 version should be top notch.
Yeah, it's interesting how that worked out with the whole PSN pre-orders from 13th-15th getting the game for free, and now this for free.
I really didn't expect them to let people upgrade for free like that, but there you go. I'm guessing it's mainly because the sub fee is what's making them the money, so they can take a hit on that.
Wow that's actually pretty good. Might consider hopping onto this on PS3 for now. Almost bought the PC version. Then again, come Sept 17th I'll be playing GTAV.
It fairness, everything that was revealed this year...was all planned while Wada was in power. It just took really long, Wada got unlucky basically, because it took this long for Ps4 to get revealed, Realm reborn to be finished etc. Everything that is good now was actually done under Wada. But, so was FFXIII
and currently there is not much information about that either. I really want to go digital with new gen but I don't believe they will give me the digital PS4/X1 game for $10€ when I have bought the digital PS3/X360 version...
It will be tied to your playonline account. If you go to it, it shows all versions you have. Might take a screenshot to show mine. So like when I got FF:Arr for free on pc because I had the original on pc. You link your PS3 login to your playonline account and that version shows up on your playstation services section as well as PO. Because all the linking, it will just show up as a already purchased game. Like when u download something on vita and it shows on ps3. Hope this makes sense. I've been on FF all night and I'm sleepy. 3rd maxed job here I come.... after sleep.
Already have it for the PS3. If we can upgrade FF XIV at PS4 launch then I'm sold on the day of its release. Good job SE. Now release type 0 in the US.
Would this be a good game to experience for someone new to MMO's? I've been hearing a lot of nice things about this game, but I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up.
MMO's are somewhat like RPGs just on a massive scale. You can ask questions to the community as you play and can always wiki or youtube a spot in the game that has you perplexed. Great game you should give it a go.
FYI: If you register today before 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time today, you get the extra 7 days on top of the 30 day trial period. This is due to the issues the game had with the servers at launch.
Square Enix is making it's comeback. I've been playing on PS3 and I absolutely LOVE the new FFXIV. It's amazing and it's just started. Now they're promising content updates every 3 months like on FFXI, expansion packs. Now this news? I was expecting to pay again for the PS4 release, and I'd of paid for it again proudly, but this is just the icing on the cake. I loved FFXI, and now I love the new FFXIV. I can't wait to see what they bring to their fans next.
I was planning on waiting for ps4v, but with this I'm getting ASAP
Wow, that's generous of them!
Damn I kind of wish this was the same for PC owners, would love to swap between PC and Console depending on how I'm feeling.
Still awesome news for the console players
Good move.
Cuz they want u to keep paying that bill to em!
