Open Beta?

[Loony BoB]

I read somewhere that they stated that this will come about "very soon" - anyone heard anything to back that up?

[ScottyRedXIII]

on what platform PC or 360 and ps3?

[Goldenboko]

Probably PC, all the beat's thus far have been PC.

Hullo, I haven't been here in a while. Made a post! Eyes On Final Fantasy - Largest Final Fantasy Resource Online

Basically this starts tonight (or 2AM GMT for folks on that side). You can download the installer right now to get a bit of a head start.

except they just posted this:

FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Postponed

FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, which is scheduled to begin at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010, will be postponed due to a confirmation of critical bugs. New schedule will be releaseｄ at a later date.

Along with the postponement of FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, the issuing of registration code for FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test will be postponed as well. With the download of client software's installer, it will be suspended at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010.

That is hilarious.

I hope this game doesn't end up being an epic buggy disaster when it is released.

[Ouch!]

Buggy disaster is kind of standard fare for MMORPG releases.

[Del Murder]

Maybe it will make sense for me to wait for the PS3 version then.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

You can download the client in the meantime though!

I demand betaness!

*gets pitchforks and torches!*

[Depression Moon]

PS3?

[Baloki]

PC. Just it's been delayed

[Mirage]

And I hope they've got enough common sense to delay the final game too.

[Miriel]

Yeah, I get the feeling the game is nowhere near ready. I wonder why they're pushing it out so soon?

Put out a half-ready game and fix it as they go?
