Final Fantasy XIV Open Beta Starts Today

by Ryan On September - 1 - 2010

Fans of Square’s online MMO Final Fantasy XI were no doubt disappointed yesterday when the company had to delay the open beta for the upcoming FF XIV, but we have good news: the beta starts today!

Yesterday it was not known when the beta would actually begin. The message on the official website simply said that it was postponed until “a later date.” Thankfully, the wait wasn’t very long. Today the site has been updated as follows:

“FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Will Start on Sep. 1!

We would like to take this opportunity to provide an update regarding FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, which was announced to be postponed on Aug. 31, 2010.

Along with the completion on investigation and correction of the critical issue, we have decided to begin FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test on Sep. 1, 2010 at 19:00 (PDT).

Starting on Sep. 1, 2010 at 19:00 (PDT), acquisition of registration code required for FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test will be available.

We are looking forward to your participation in FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test!”
