Final Fantasy XIV Has Two Release Dates
Gamers looking forward to Square Enix's upcoming MMO finally have a release date to pin their hopes on – two dates, actually. The publisher has announced that the collector's edition and normal version of Final Fantasy XIV on PC will release on September 22 and September 30, respectively.
In addition to playing the game a week early, players who pick up the collector's edition will get a bunch of other goodies, too. An exclusive in-game item, a behind-the-scenes DVD, and a journal will also be packed in with the game, all for $75. If you don't want all the bells and whistles, you can just pick up the normal PC version for $50.
After the first free 30 days are over, the game will cost $13 per month. However, if you want to maintain multiple playable characters, you'll have to pay an additional $3 per character per month.
It's important to note that the September release dates apply only to the PC iteration of Final Fantasy XIV. The PS3 entry is slated for March 2011, and the pricing and subscription details for that version have yet to be announced.
