Seems like PC only beta. Hopefully PS3 beta will follow soon???

Well if the timeline of the PC beta is anything to go on, there won't be a PS3 beta this year. That should give you an idea how far behind they are on PS3.. as though they have barely even started.

"That should give you an idea how far behind they are on PS3.. as though they have barely even started."

I doubt that. The PS3 version is more then likely well under way. People need to remember this is a MMO not a single player game. It's MUCH bigger and getting everything to work perfectly is alot more important then a single player game.(as it can cause unbalance to the entire game)

Kurisu5098d ago

I'm hoping PS3 players like myself will at least get to Beta test with the PC guys before the September 22nd release!

gwcommander5098d ago

Yea it's pc only for now, PS3 version of the game will be delayed till around March 2011

Jaybad545098d ago

Have any keys been given out yet?

blasian5098d ago

Only the alpha testers get to be in the beta right now. SE will give out more codes later in the month I believe.

For more than 10 years, he has been tuning the success of the incredible comeback of FinalFantasy XIVwith increasingly better expansions such as Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Dawntrail is out in two weeks, and it's shaping up to be a holiday for the Warriors of Light, but it's clear that there's definitely a lot more at stake.

had stated that the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake is real and that it will retain the classic turn-based combat seen in the original.

I hope this is true, that's what I want from a remake. FF7R is actually really good, but not what I was looking for from the remake.

FinalFantasyFanatic5d ago

FF7R deviated too much from the original for me, so I hope the FF9 remake is closer to the original game.

fr0sty5d ago

I didn't think so, I actually really liked the way they fleshed out the story more. I enjoyed it more than the original.

DivineHand1255d ago

I can't wait for it to be revealed and I am hoping it will not be episodic or simply a remaster.

neutralgamer19925d ago

Yes make one complete game with AAA game development taking 3-5 years for each game if it's another trilogy than we will be waiting a decade plua just for the complete edition

One game which should be done with all the content and add improvements where necessary

Rebel_Scum4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

You’re dreaming if you think these old pre-rendered background FF games can be remade in a fully 3D open world in 3-5 years with all the mini games.

FinalFantasyFanatic5d ago

I hope they keep the original art style instead of going for the hyperrealistic look like they did with FF7R, it would ruin the charm of the game otherwise.

MeteorPanda5d ago

Ffs can you focus on the goddamn mmo you leech.

The healers are going on strike cause you gave them a ONE BUTTON dps rotation. They have often nothing to heal.

You keep ignoring player feedback if it isnt jpn.

Stop taking our sub money and funding everything else but the mmo

jznrpg5d ago

FF9 is great I am looking forward to the remake.

Rynxie5d ago

Pisses me off how badly they screwed over ff8. That game deserves a proper remake. It was the first fully 3d final fantasy game.

MrNinosan5d ago

FFVIII is not fully 3d, and in what way do you mean it was before FFVII in the "3d verse"?

First "fully" 3d Final Fantasy was FFXI, even thou FFX was close.

FFVII to FFX uses pre rendered backgrounds (still images). In FFVII - FFIX, only worldmap was fully "3d".
