Final Fantasy XIV beta only for the PC
Final Fantasy XI was probably one of my favorite MMOs of all time, alongside WoW. I don’t play either of them any more (World of Warcrack) but when I did, FFXI was one of my favorite. I for one, chose to play it on the PC but there were other options as it was also out for the PS2 at the time.
Now, with Final Fantasy XIV’s upcoming simulatenous release on both the PS3 and PC, the game is sure to reach a much larger audience. Despite access to this large audience, Square Enxi doesn’t seem to be taking full advantage of it recently letting us know that the public beta for the game will in fact be for the PC only.
Of course, there is no telling exactly when the beta will even hit with FFXIV’s director Hiromichi Tanaka telling us that the studio is aiming to have a small (10,000 people) closed beta up and running by Summer 2010 with a more widespread public beta soon to follow.
Final Fantasy XIV might come to Xbox 360
Square Enix held a press conference where they answered questions from the lurking E3 press. One of the questions were regarding Final Fantasy XIV, and whether it would come to the Xbox 360. Square Enix representatives said that the company is looking at “all options” when it comes to platforms for the game. This is despite what Sony said at their E3 conference, where they claimed exclusivity on the title. The game is currently only officially only coming to the PS3 and PC.
