Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is het zoveelste deel in de legendarische RPG-franchise van Square Enix die eerder al verscheen voor de PlayStation 3. Voor hen die moeilijk kunnen wachten op de PS4 versie, hebben we nu een nieuwe trailer die jullie hierboven kunnen bekijken en tevens hebben we ook meer informatie over de open beta die gehouden zal gaan worden.

Dit nieuws werd op het Europese PlayStation blog bekendgemaakt door community project manager van Square Enix Europe, Hergen Thaens. De details aangaande de beta kan je hieronder bekijken.

Beta informatie

  • Phase 1: 22nd February to 3rd March
  • Phase 2: 4th April to 7th April
  • Japanese Standard Time assumed for all dates
  • The beta will be accessible for everyone with a PS4 and directly downloadable from the PS Store
  • There will be a character wipe after phase 1.
  • Players who made their character in beta phase two will be able to bring this data to the retail version.
  • PS3 and PC players of FFXIV will be able to transfer character data to the PS4 (please note that this is only necessary for the beta – in the retail version, all players will play on the same servers).

Daar blijft het echter niet bij, mocht je namelijk je PS3 versie willen overzetten naar de versie voor de PlayStation 4, dan is dat mogelijk. Hieronder alle details hierover.
