Open beta start date is expected soon.

Final Fantasy XIV open beta test goes live.

I got an email from Square today and it told me to make sure I was signed up for the Final Fantasy Newsletter because information about the open beta will be coming out soon. Some Jimmy claims it's starting August 31, but he lists no source.

The email says "Get your PC up and running, because the open beta is just around the corner! To receive all the latest updates, click on VISIT SITE and register for the official FINAL FANTASY XIV newsletter. Also, make sure you check out the latest trailer in the MEDIA section."

*Update* Beta date possibly confirmed with this tweet from @FF_XIV_EN. So this is probably what is happening. Honestly though, we don't even know if that is an official twitter account. Fuck it! Irrelevant. The time has come. I can't wait. *end update*

Make sure you end up on this page and sign for the newsletter if you wanna know what's up with the Final Fantasy XIV open beta. http://na.square-enix.com/reg/ff14/

I just want to know if it's going to run on my machine at this point.

I dislike paying $60 bucks for the privilege of paying another $13 every month. No way I'm getting this.

This sucks. To much money for a game that sounds a lot like all the other mmorpgs out there. When will the series return to it's roots and go back to a massive epic story set in a medieval world with steam engines and lost tech. I miss Final Fantasy VI!!! Fuck the cyberpunk ff's and fuck the online cash hogs. I just want a good solo story with a lot of twists and turns. Final Fantasy tactics had a great story that would be awesome to revisit in a traditional Final Fantasy. Or better yet just go back to the original style and focus on story!

Now I'm even more pissed. The style and possible story is in 14 but I'll never get to play it cause it online! They should have made it a solo game with you controlling multiple characters like in part 6. Why is square fucking around with the series? Watch the next solo play game will take place in space or some shit and I'll never play it because those final fantasies always suck. I want them to release 15 in the same style as 14 but as an epic story driven solo player game.

I like the story with all the info for the game, but I dislike the game. Maybe people cant tell the difference so they just dislike the story lol.

I for one will not be playing this game.

Yeah I don't know how I feel about that article. I think it will make players more well rounded and better with the crafting system. Don't hate it until you play it. If it turns out to be a big fail they will fix it in a patch so you can grind away. Gouki Guild coming soon. I have purchased a ventrilo server for all our players to use. EE

I consider myself a die-hard Square Soft (that's right bitches, I still call them Square SOFT ;D) fan, but I'm not sure if I'll be buying this, although I may split it with my brother, who knows. The problem I have with buying it isn't the game itself, in fact the game looks amazing, (which I expect from Square Soft) it's the fact that I'm VERY rarely ever on a computer (my brother is a computer Nazi) That being said, I'm always going to prefer the old Final Fantasies, if only because I don't think Square Soft can ever top FFIX (that game is goddamn amazing), the same way I'm never going to think as highly of any Legend of Zelda game as I do of Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask (I love them both equally as though they were my own twin children).
I'm half awake right now, so if this post doesn't make any sense, I sincerely apologize. I'm merely trying to add my two cents into the pile. :]
