Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn - Coming August 27th 2013 to PC and PS3!

[Khaotic]

If you guys decide to play on EU servers, does everyone need the EU copy of the game? or does it not matter? (is there even a difference?)

[Ouch!]

It does not matter.

[chaos7]

Only question is whether to get the standard or the collectors I do love the in game items and always LOVE the soundtracks but the art books usually end up in a book case and forgotten, Not that I don't appreciate the art, I just usually have them as desktop wallpapers instead. However the choco armor is pretty cool, and the helm of lights pretty awesome too. I'll have to think about it.

Authenticator is nice too if you don't have one already (which I'm not sure if there even is another way to get them).

Gimme gimme gimme gimmeeee

Ya the authentication is defiantly a consideration. However I have a suspicion that they will come out with an app for it since wow and swtor have one (also I'm hoping they will so I can line all 3 up beside each other on my ipod lol). Also I also think they might because some people are going to want the key and not buy the collectors edition for it.

I can confirm that there will be a mobile authenticator app for Android and iPhone.

[Mirage]

I can confirm that there already is one.

noobcakes.

This collector's edition does look quite nice. I may have to actually acquire it if I get a job/the money throughout this summer and can afford it. I've been wanting to play XIV, but just haven't had the money for new games since its release.

[Khaotic]

Any guesses on how long the collectors edition will be in stock?

[Loony BoB]

I don't think it's a limited edition that they'll run out of stock of anytime soon. I'll buy it closer to the time.

[Rostum]

Does the PS3 CE come with all the same physical items as the PC version? I may get that since I already have 1.0 CE. That way I can also play on both.

Art book, yes please!

[Loony BoB]

That's what I'm thinking of doing, too.

[Rostum]

That's what I'm thinking of doing, too.

Good idea, so what's the best place to pre-order this then?

[Loony BoB]

I have no idea. I'll probably be waiting a little longer.

EDIT:

Have we got a definite plan on what servers we'll be rolling on? Although as far as I've heard any copy of the game can play on any region so it should be fine for me to pre-order the EU one right?

Sorry, a little late: This is correct. Another key EU-based member of our Linkshell has decided to make the shift to NA servers, so it's likely the rest of us will follow suit at this rate. Hopefully it'll work out.
