Uh oh, looks like we missed the news roundup for Friday, my bad, but here it is anyway. This week's been particularly slow with regards to anything Final Fantasy related. Last week had a whole slew of news on Square Enix's next MMO, Final Fantasy XIV and it looks like the momentum has carried on into this week as well.

Before touching on that though, Square Enix has announced that they'll be releasing Dissidia: Final Fantasy under their Ultimate Hits label in commemoration of having shipped over three million Ultimate Hits games.

Now on to the star of this week. The Final Fantasy XIV PC Beta Test has been dated, and starts, well, today actually! So if you've got your keys, congratulations and good for you. Do feel free to share your experience with the community. While PC users get to enjoy the beta as well as play the game this September, PS3 users will have to wait until March 2011 due to technical difficulties the team has run into with the PS3 version. Keep in mind that March 2011 is a tentative date and should Square Enix fix the issues, it might just release earlier than that. We've got our fingers crossed.

Last week we also teased an interview with director of Final Fantasy XIV, Hiromichi Tanaka. We ask the director a couple of questions about the story, gameplay as well as what plans they have in store for the future for and after Final Fantasy XIV.

And that's it for this week, hopefully we'll get plenty more breaking news next week.
