    Default Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer XLV: To Be Released 2013 Summer



    Naoki Yoshida, the beloved producer of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, has released his 45th Letter from the Producer for our perusal. It’s pretty short, but contains the promise of lots of new content in the future – and most importantly, phase 3 of the A Realm Reborn beta!

    As we announced previously, phase 3 of FFXIV (which includes the PS3 beta) will be starting up in early June. This is somewhat behind schedule, but Yoshida seems comfortable that there will be no more lengthy delays.

    That is because Yoshi-P has announced that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will be released in the summer of 2013. As expected, the PC and PS3 versions will be simultaneously released around the world on the same date, which will be announced at the end of May. Significantly, preorders will be accepted after the release date is announced.

    But first, we have to finish the beta. Phase 3 will have a lot of new content, as Yoshi-P lists:

    Wow, and that’s just a quick list. Notable items from that include the Free Company system, which is basically FFXIV’s new guild system, and the addition of new areas and a host of new dungeons. Yoshi-P said that they will begin “testing” the transfer of 1.0 characters, but it’s not yet clear when those characters will be available for play.

    Speaking of new content, though this won’t be available until after the final release, a dev team member has announced that stuffed animals will be available for housing decoration. I hope they include stuffed Final Fantasy references. If so, I call dibs on a Stuffed Unne.

    Yoshi-P’s next big announcement will be his seventh Live Letter. I don’t think a set date for it has been announced, but it will probably be right around the start of phase 3. We’ll keep you updated!
