Release date announced! Sept. 30, 2010

[Shamadconde]

Well actually I read on Eorzeapedia why the PS3 version of XIV is delayed. Apparently the PS3 doesn't have enough RAM.

[Rikitiki]

Rats.... well, I suppose that makes sense.

 

Hey Sony, toss me an 8GB RAM chip, won't you?

[Arzy]

I want my Collector's Edition ... T-T

[Kashemia]

I'm currently debating with myself if I have enough money for a CE. The main reason for me to get it should be the week headstart, and I don't know if that really is enough to spend all that money (that I doesn't have).

I don't really care about the headstart that much, I want my tumbler, my map, my travel journal .. and the headstart.

[Shamadconde]

*shakes his fist* you and your tumbler can go.....go.........some place not nice.

Aww...don't you guys have somekind of a voucher? "Right of passage" or something? Maybe you should use it and pass on. x3 Forgive the pun.

[Shamadconde]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Boots]

I just want the pretty box...and the art-booklet thingie!

[Stanzie]

Oh, it's all about the notebook for me... Well, that and the week headstart. But, mainly the notebool.

%!?/$#@& ... ! -another endless line of harsh language-

 

I just found out that the CE in Czech Republic is released the same day as the normal version.

 

>< WTF?! I want my 8 day early access.

Nice drawing.

[Arzy]

 

 

Yes, that would perfectly describe my reaction.

[Midaja]

Cant you just buy an imoport version or something like that? Think I'll decide, whether I'll buy CE or the normal edition after I had a look into the beta... I ran the Benchmark yesterday and after overclocking my graphic card I got from "low performance" to "good performance" at least... But I'm still not quite sure how my actual system is gonna handle the game and if I have to upgrade it for FFXIV I'd really have to look after my money hm...

[Arzy]

Of course I could buy an import version, from UK that is. But with the tax that goes along with it, a game that would cost me .. uhh ... google conversion .. 87$ in Czech Republic would suddenly bump up to 120$ because of taxes and transportation fee and those 8 days are really NOT that important for me to pay that much more.

 

Not to mention the transportation would take about 2-3 days. So that means I'd get only 6 or 5 days of early access. http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/

[Aveline]

For those looking @ buying imports, this is from S-E:

Important, read this before you buy Final Fantasy XIV:

Service accounts for FINAL FANTASY XIV and the FINAL FANTASY XIV Collector's Edition can only be added for the same region as your Square Enix account (Japan, North America, or Europe). The game cannot be played if the product region is different from the Square Enix account region, so be sure to check the region for which the product is intended before making a purchase.

 

It seems like you'd be fine Arzy, getting a EU version from the UK, but this is esp. important for people that like to buy JP versions of the game and play them in the US. Hopefully if they are planning a simultaneous region release for all 3 regions this won't be an issue to many!

[Kashemia]

One thing I con't really understand is what exactly a region account mean? Does it mean that you have to sign up for the account on the EU homepage to use an EU game, but can still play with people who are using an american account? Or are they on different servers?

So... provisionally, if I want to do what I had originally planned, which was start 3 characters from launch its going to cost me £13.19 ($20.19 US) a month. Now from what I gather those three character will have the one retainer between them unless I purchase more.

 

Would I likely need more than one for 3 characters or is that enough does anyone know yet?

[Aveline]

I think you actually get one retainer per character, but then each character can have additional retainers. That's at least what I'm interpreting it as right now.. I may be entirely wrong (hope not!)

[Renaise]

The wording on the EU site is different to the US:

 

âFor each account, one retainer will be free of charge with an additional retainer being â¬1.00 per month (UK £0.70)â

[Aveline]

That would be SUCH a rip-off if you only got one retainer per account....

[Kima wolf]

I already consider it a ripoff as a RPer I have to purchase extra slots. I wish they'd at least give you enough slots to cover all the races. Or hell two would do lol.
