Final Fantasy XIV Closed Beta Kicks Off This Weekend

One or two of us may be busy with some other MMO beta, but that's not going to stop Square Enix. With Final Fantasy XIV nearing its September release date, a closed beta for the game will begin this weekend.

Andriasang has the news straight from the official Japanese Twitter account for FF XIV. According to the post, the beta will begin this Saturday, July 10.

It's currently unclear if this phase of the closed beta is for Japan only or if North American gamers will also be allowed in. We've reached out to representatives for the game regarding this and will update when we have an answer.

Given how improved the beta looks over the alpha, I'm excited to jump back in and explore the world of Eorzea soon.
