That is also the prelude to the release of a version for the PlayStation 3. That version would be in early 2013 on the market, but in the fall of 2012 begins the testing of the desk version. In that intervening period there will be a free trial of the pc version can be played, and a closed beta test of the PS3 version to take place.

Square Enix has now so much faith in the future of the game that the money would dare to go and ask. When FFXIV was launched, there was a subscription required in order to be allowed to play. After the poor reception of the game, saw the publisher, however, from. Players had a subscription, but it was by Square Enix then no money is asked to continue playing. That goes at the end of this year to change. Wada wants to look at the beginning of december again money questions.
