FFXIV Info - Fan Site and Database

Square Enix have announced that the closed beta phase for Final Fantasy XIV will end on August 25th. The open beta will begin shortly after, in early September. We’re unsure how you will gain access to the beta but we know it will require some form of application process.

I gained access to the beta at the weekend and I am very happy with what I have seen so far. During the downtime between the two beta phases I intend to make a post about my beta experiences, with screenshots. I will also be updating the website with abilities, weapons and other useful information from the beta.

Square Enix have posted the fourth part in the series of videos showing the making of Final Fantasy XIV. This one talks about how the environment was designed and created and is possibly the most interesting of the videos.

We apologise for the late posting of the video, I have been without internet access for the past few days.

You can view the video below.

As a side note, I now have beta access so expect a lot of updates and screenshots in the near future.
