News Roundup: Busy Week for Final Fantasy XIV

FFXIVVersus XIIIPS3PSP by Colin

Alrighty people, it's Friday, that means the end of a news week. Starting this week, we'll be doing a weekly news roundup for those that may have missed something during the week. Last week saw quite a bit on Fabula Nova Crystallis, what with the interviews with director Hajime Tabata, on how Agito isn't high up on their priority list. Famitsu also interviewed Tetsuya Nomura, revealing several screenshots as well as confirming that it'll be at the Tokyo Game Show.

Dengeki also managed an interview with Nomura this week who revealed that the scenario for Final Fantasy Versus XIII is 100% complete, along with character and clothing designs from Japanese clothing company, Roen.

This week, however, was more about Final Fantasy XIV. Square Enix sent out a press release on Wednesday, revealing the release dates for both the PC and PlayStation 3 versions. Unfortunately, PS3 users will have to wait until March 2011 to get in on the MMO action. Also unveiled was the pricing scheme for the regular and collectors editions, but most importantly, the subscription fee was set at an affordable $12.99 per month.

Darryl and I also had the chance to speak with vice president and director of Final Fantasy XIV, Hiromichi Tanaka, at E3 this year. The interview will be coming up shortly but as a sneak peak, Tanaka revealed that there is the possibility of adding additional races to Final Fantasy XIV.

Well that's all for this week, stay tune for more coverage on all things Final Fantasy right here at Final Fantasy Union.
