FFXIV Info - Fan Site and Database

GameSpot have posted a preview of the other two FFXIV starter cities Gridania and Ul’dah. Their article talks about the opening cutscenes and the kind of monsters you can find in these areas. There is also a lot of new screenshots. Game Watch have also posted a lot of new high quality screenshots from these areas.

We will post them on here at some point, however as I am away for a few days I can only post the links. We are doing our best to bring you the latest news throughout this busy week.

The Game Watch article also states that the open beta will begin in early September.

File Planet are giving away a limited amount of beta keys each day until August 16th. All you have to do to get one is be a subscriber of their premium service and take one. A subscription costs $7 per month and you would only need one month’s subscription, which isn’t a lot for a chance at a beta key.

As their give away is first come, first served and the keys are limited in number you will have to be very quick to get one. They have X amount of keys to give away each day and once that day’s keys are taken, there’s no more. There are a lot of Final Fantasy XIV fans watching the site for new keys to appear and they will probably disappear within minutes of each day’s keys appearing.

Unfortunately the offer is only open to residents of North America. Us Europeans are left out again!
