Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - 1 Million Players

[Night Fury]

After the last weekened of BETA Phase 3, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has now secured a milestone of having 1 million players playing the game. I'm pretty sure most of those players came from EoFF!


44348


To celebrate this acheivement, Square Enix have released a rather lovely piece of artwork (above). This is great news which means that the game has already had a huge success which will hopefully be built on when the game hits retail in August. I for one think this game will do very well, as it's so immensely enjoyable to play and there's so much to do!

It has also been let slip that there will be Final Fantasy XIV inspired PS3 and PC themes available soon... Exciting!

Have you played the BETA and are one of the lucky 1 million? If so, tell me all about your experience in game!

The Beta has been pretty cool. I'm more excited about the new people joining than about the game lately, though. xD I mean, I'm excited for the game, too, but I keep getting more and more friends that say they're gonna give it a shot. The downside of this is figuring out how I'm going to make time to party up with everyone... x_x

Hopefully they all enjoyed it - really looking forward to launch!

Sounds good, but it is still a very different thing than actually paying for the game.

There have been games that had several million "subscribers" right after launch, but then lost a huge amount of players right as their 30 days free trial was over.
