I just saw on facebook, the official release has been announced for both PC and PS3. August 27th. This gives us 3 more months to enjoy our lives before being glued to the computer every night. |

So much for announcing it at E3 and/or during that live producer letter. That's pretty soon really when you think about it. We haven't even started up Phase 3 yet. Hopefully this bodes well. Last time they announced FFXIV's release date it was still during Alpha, and we saw how that turned out. |

Tour Part 2: EDIT: The PS3 framerate looks better than the last time they showed it. Doesn't look as smooth as the PC one though obviously. You can also see some of the new "long hair physics" working on one of the galka chicks if you pay attention. |

Collectors Edition also announced: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/ ![]() They've previously said anybody who owned the original CE will automatically get any "digital" content bundled with the new CE. You'd obviously have to rebuy it for the "physical" things like art books and whatever though. Pre-Order Bonuses: - Early Access - Cait Sith Doll Minion - Mog Cap CE bonuses: - Exclusive Box - Art Book - Movie Disc ("Umbral Era" Movie) - Helm of Light (FF1 Warrior of Light Helmet) - Coeurl Mount - Behemoth Barding (Chocobo Armor) - Baby Behemoth Minion - Soundtrack - Art Cards - Security Token |

That video omg. I want to play so bad now. I can't say enough good things about how much this game has improved. I love how well they spruced up the camps. They actually seem like little retreats now. The water in La Noscea on the beaches...omg looks so good. The music, the zones, the new mobs, all of the cool decorations like dragon bones and dead goobues scattered throughout the zones. I love it all. |

On the one hand I want the CE version for my collection, but I'm basically throwing away my money since I already have 1.0 CE. Then if I do, should I get the PC CE version or PS3 CE? Anyway, SE is doing it right by offering the "Digital Upgrade" to CE. This is something Blizzard started doing during the last two expansion packs. The rewards also apply to already existing characters. I wonder if this means I can finally get the items from the 1.0 CE that I missed out on because I didnt register the codes first. Things are looking much better now than at the same stage of the FFXIV 1.0 development cycle. |

If you're desperate for any of the physical CE stuff, the most logical thing to do is buy the PS3 CE. You'll get all of the CE stuff that will attach to your account, and you'll also get the PS3 account code that will allow your account to log in via a PS3, should you wish to down the line (might want to leave it running on a tv/ps3 so you can use your PC for something else). It sounded like they have a way of automatically telling whether your original copy of the game was the collector's edition or not based on your product key. But it mentioned something about checking whether your account has the Onion Helm tied to it (which came with the CE). It said if you hadn't attached it to your account, you could do so now (later) and the game would mail you all the new 2.0 items as well as the old 1.0 CE stuff too. EDIT: FYI. It's been confirmed that unlike all the other Collector's Edition bonuses, the Cait Sith and Moogle Cap are pre-order bonuses only. You have to pre-order a new copy of the game (like the PS3 version as mentioned above) to get them. The early access is given to automatically to Legacy holders as well as pre-orders. All the other bonus items are Collector's Edition stuff and you get it for free if you already own CE as previously mentioned. |

That video does look awesome... holy shit. I'm going to pre order the CE again. I really don't like how the video looked for PS3... and I was thinking of getting a copy for PS3, especially since I have 2 PC accounts... but... I have 3 PC's here... hmmmm |

PC Master Race. I'm not one to focus on graphics, but PC vs PS3 is like looking up a high-school sweetheart 30-years later on Facebook Pre-ordered regular version. I can't imagine buying CE for something that is on such shaky ground. Off-Topic: Any chance my name can be changed to "Monstercloud" by either Ket or Yarr, or would I need to make a new account? This is such an awful name now. |

k... Pretty happy about how Falafelalafell look in WHM armor. Also, pretty stoked to see a FF14 of the Sanctuary of Zi'tah area. I always thought that was one of the prettiest zones in the original US release of FF11 (Up through Zilart expansion, I guess, since we got that by default). The world definitely looks way better than in version 1. Much more variety, which is great. I went ahead and pre-ordered the PS3 CE version. That brings my number of CE's to 3. Two v1.0 PC CE's and now the PS3 one. haha. |

Do we need to preorder through them to get the preorder bonuses, or can we do it through retail stores and get them? Also so glad that crab is there, it's almost comforting. Spent so much time wailing on them in Vana'diel that I was a little sad to not see them in Eorzea. |

Post subject: | Re: FFXIV: A Realm Reborn release date announced! |
That's my understanding, Dmitry. I wanted a PS3 copy, anyway, so it's not a huge deal. Also, I really like the beefier crab models that 14 introduced. Having them there with the smaller guys will be pretty cool. |

I caved and ordered the PS3 Collector's Edition. I got a "pre-order bonuses" activation code, but the site it takes you to says it's not available yet. It's been heavily hinted that once the PC/PS3 version launch is out of the way, they'll work on a PS4 version. I reckon that not only is this likely, they'll probably also give it out for free if you own the PS3 version: - PS4 architecture is very PC like and x86 based. Porting from PC shouldn't be anywhere near as much hassle. - PS4 has no backwards compatibility. This means somebody who buys a PS4 can't play PS3 games. You could leave the PS3 plugged in and/or plug it in whenever you want to use it, but I reckon your average person won't do this; once they upgrade they'll move on. - What's somebody who cant play FFXIV anymore (or being a hassle to do so) going to do? Unsubscribe. Obviously SE doesn't want that. - So it's in SE's best interest to give existing PS3 owners a PS4 download version if they upgrade to PS4. People are already paying their subscription, so they don't lose any money by doing so. It's been confirmed that a PS Vita can play all PS4 games (that don't require move controller or ps camera) remotely. So owning the console version will eventually equal handheld MMO goodness. Going to use PS3/4/Vita to be logged in when I want to use my PC for playing other games. Though I'm also hoping that the phone app that's coming allows people to talk on linkshell chat without being in-game. That'd be awesome. |

I am going to get the CE even though I have the game SE just to support them as much as I can. I love that they added crabs! loved those things but not so much due to ranger having piercing attacks. |
