When does FFXIV:ARR launch?

Post by MikaMeow »

Just curious when the game is going to go live.. and anyone know if you bought the original collectors edition, do you get any bonuses this time around?

The old stuff is still with you, unless you threw it away.

There will be 'some' 'unannounced as yet' bonuses as well for CEs. Legacy will get even more. I think they are still deciding. I'm hoping for a unique chocobo costume/etc. Something like that. Cosmetic but desirable.

You will get all the ARR CE in game items. Helm of Light, Coeurl Mount, Behemoth Barding, Baby Behemoth Minion. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/#ceSpecialAnchor

Beta phase 4 and early entry dates have yet to be announced, likewise the actual start date.

I am guessing that p 4 starts 8/9 others are guessing 8/17.

EE is expected to last 3 days and feed directly into release. 8/30 is a Friday so the on sale date of 8/27 could indicate EE on the 27th and full release on the 30th. Or not.

I'm guessing EE on the 27th, as it says "on sale" and not a launch date... tricky, huh?

Ah, I'm guessing EE will be for beta players then, which will probably be a large portion of the player base :lol:

No, EE is gotten by preordering either edition of ARR or by having Legacy status.

I don't expect to see even half the population of phase 4 in EE.

Edit:You did know that all progress in phase 4 carries over to release didn't you? Its probably going to last longer too. EE is maybe 3 days.
