FFXIV finally has a release date and is set for September 30th but if you preorder the collectors edition you will beable to access the game 8 days early.
I never played XI but wasn't the deal that they picked your server for you, then you have to be invited and pay to transfer to the server your friend's play on?
Anyone know how this works in XIV? Are you allowed to pick your own server so you can play with your friends?
It looks like mostly an engine change since almost all the character models are the same from FFXI except they changed the names of the races. I still really looking forward to it I spent alot of time in vulkrum dunes with almost every job. It was almost impossible to solo level in that game hopefully that changes.

" Is this release date PC only? I haven't seen anything for a PS3 release yet. Or is the release date for both platforms? "
You can order the PS3 version on amazon as well right now, there just isnt a collectors edition for that version.
Edit: just realized the different date for the PS3 version as pointed out by Bones8677, looks like they made the decision for me to get it on the PC instead. Its probably better that way.
Sweetness. By the end of this year, I shall be playing my first MMORPG. This game looks magnificent. I just hope I don't stop playing after a few days... Because I really want to play it.

They changed how that system worked about 8 months after XI launched - the World Pass (to invite your friends to your server, did have to be bought but with in-game money). Several years later they released a Server Transfer service, where you could pay real money to change servers - WoW has something similar I believe. As it stand in XI you're allowed to pick 99% of the servers (there's one that is blocked off for transfer and new players due to over population). 12.95/month is SE traditional model with each extra character costing an extra Dollar per month.
" I saw this post. My interest grew. I decided to watch the trailer again. Between the music and this guy:
Really? ...I began remembering why my interest was so low. :P "
That man is wearing Subligar - if you lack the ability to appreciate Subligar, no FF MMO is right for you.
Might or might not jump on this, I have a few gaming buddies from ffxi but we haven't played anything for years, my pc most likely will have to run it at shitty res with no effects on. I'd play it on ps3, but that'd be 6months from the pc version, but then I think everyone will have already done most of the missions.
You'll have to wait another 6 months after the PC release for that, which is what made my decision between the two versions. "
If the the game is truly cross platform and you can bring your PC characters over to the PS3 - I may get the PC version first, but that'd be money I'd know will go to waste since I'll pretty much only be playing it on the PS3. The couch and big TV is too nice :)
