Mon, Mar 8th, 2010, 10:29 pm (EST) by Omen
Final Fantasy XIII is released today to Westerners on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and Square-Enix has managed to sneak in a very special code for all who buy the PlayStation 3 version.
Inside the case of Final Fantasy XIII, you will find a small leaflet detailing Square-Enix's Members, an online club for fans of the company and its games. This leaflet contains a code to register Final Fantasy XIII as a title that you own. Fairly straightforward. However, upon registering the game, you will receive an email from Square-Enix thanking you for your support along with yet another code.
Find out how to use this code to get the chance to play the PlayStation 3 beta of Final Fantasy XIV by clicking the title of this article above!

Final Fantasy XIV Beta Test Approaching
Sun, Feb 28th, 2010, 6:12 pm (EST) by Omen
Earlier today, VanaFest 2010, an official event in Tokyo held for the fans and players of Final Fantasy XI took place. During the build up to the gathering, Square-Enix promised exclusive Final Fantasy XIV news. Of course, expectations soared.
The event contained a mini-concert, more content detailed for Final Fantasy XI and a two-segment chat with the development team. However, the most exciting part of the evening was when Square-Enix fulfilled their promise and all attendees were treated to a chance to play an alpha version of Final Fantasy XIV.
More details are in the full story!

Rumour: Final Fantasy XIV Coming To Xbox 360
Wed, Feb 3rd, 2010, 6:15 am (EST) by Ronin90
It looks like someone has been doing some detective work, as a an online CV (Resume) has been found in which the individual represented, Yuuki Akama, claims to be working on Final Fantasy XIV for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. She's also apparently working on Final Fantasy Agito XIII and The Third Birthday, both of which will release on the PSP.
Final Fantasy XIV was initially unveiled during Sony's E3 press conference last year, but it was only announced for the PC and PS3. Since then, the director of the game, Hiromichi Tanaka, has stated that talks are ongoing with Microsoft, but that Xbox Live is seen as an issue - presumably they want charge people monthly, but don't want to charge them twice.
Whether it is actually being worked on remains to be seen, and whether the online profile is real also remains to be seen. Don't expect an official word from Square Enix any time soon though.

Final Fantasy XIV Now Taking Beta Applications
Wed, Dec 16th, 2009, 9:36 pm (EST) by Shawn
Square Enix has just announced on the official website for Final Fantasy XIV that they are ready to take in applicants for the official beta.
Final Fantasy XIV was revealed during Sony's E3 2009 press conference for the PlayStation 3 and PC. The game has some similarities to Final Fantasy XI, sharing some of the same classes and races, but the game takes place in an entirely different world.
The current beta is only for the PC version, with details about a PlayStation 3 beta coming at "a later date". Applicants must be over 18 years old and have a Square Enix ID (if you don't have one, you can sign up for one). Multiple applications will not be accepted --- only one per person.
