It's been nearly a month...still can't buy Final Fantasy 14

PC Gamer writes, "To keep servers stable, the critically acclaimed MMORPG still isn't on sale for new players."

So? Play something that's actually good instead.

[Teflon02]

Hard to do that when you can't buy it lol. I own it already though so I don't have much of an issue lol

[TakeTori]

Oh, sweet summer child :) 25 million players seem to disagree with you.

[roadkillers]

Oh, pickled juice woman. See I can make words and put them together too…

I’ve been waiting for Ff14 on my Xbox

[TakeTori]

@Roadkillers If you're interested in the game, then what the fuck are you coming at me for?

[rdgneoz3]

@roadkillers It's on PC (and PS4/5) as well.

As for xbox, blame MS in the beginning for screwing the pooch on that one. The "no cross play" at the time policy and wanting their own servers turned devs off. - https://www.ign.com/article...

Nowadays, Yoshida is "positive" on it going to xbox, though they have a lot on their plate at the moment with the recent expansion, new upcoming content, and such vs porting the whole game (base + all the expansions) to a new system...

@Taketori

“Sweet Summer Child” really flipped my goat

[TakeTori]

@roadkillers It kinda flips my goat that someone would get offended at a fairly innocent, non-cussy phrase DIRECTED AT SOMEONE ELSE being a douchy contrarian, considering that someone actually wants to play the game :) Weird priorities there, mate

[TheRealTedCruz]

I haven't played it, myself, but I would assume the MMO quickly dethroning WoW probably has something to it.

Not if they don't get more people playing. The more time they spend dilly-dallying the more time their competitors have to right their wrongs and stop the bleeding.

They are letting the biggest opportunity they'll likely ever have slip through their fingers.

[Sunny12345]

Lol what ? Have you even played it? It has great story, plethora of content, some really great and mechanic heavy new raids. A great experience over all. It has everything a mmo should and more.

I have completed the new normal raids (pandemonium), will try savage on weekend.

[curtain_swoosh]

and yet you're here, so ...

[kesatvlohaiphong]

Waiting to play this game!

[CDbiggen]

Crazy, didn't realise it was so popular.

[SDuck]

it's the most popular mmorpg atm I think

[Terry_B]

This article is outdated already, the game is sold again.

[Greg2801]

Only the Endwalker expansion is available to buy. But you need the base game to play the expansion, and a month later you still can't buy the base game.

So the article is not outdated

It's a bummer for people who are trying to get into the game, but it is nice to see that they care more about the current players having a good experience, instead of making more sales.

[CrimsonWing69]

I see it’s available on PSN, so…

[F0XHOUND]

Out of date article, the game was taken offline so its existing players would have an easier time logging in. At one stage I had a queue with 8000 players in, it took upwards of 3-4 hours to get through it. They took a hit to try and fix this, they are adding new servers and data centers soon in a bid to further help.

[Stopac]

I'm almost at disbelief with the bad timing of this article. If anything almost 24 hours ago there were confirmations the base game will be available again for sale at the end of this month.
