That might seem like a basic question but I’ve honestly been wondering what our expectation is. When you buy-in for a pre-order on a new game, securing an extra week of “headstart” time, does that mean you should expect the full launch candidate product or a restricted preview-based version? The Case of the Missing Content …

FFXIV Collector’s Edition – Pictures!
Hey Gang, I got lucky and was able to pick up a CE edition of FFXIV without a pre-order — one of only three available in my area. I was pretty excited, so I took pictures of the unboxing. Here’s a picture of the full, big box: The box came with a firm plastic cover …
FFXIV is Meant For Consoles; a Suggestion for ALL Players
The more I play through the FFXIV open beta, the more apparent it is that the game is really meant to be a console experience. Everything about it just screams “port.” From the menu design, to the seeming expectation for players to only hop in for an hour or so a day, FFXIV is the …
Updated Expectations for FFXIV
With open beta registrations still wholly in the dark, I’ve been stalking FFXIV Core all day waiting for an update. Though Square has pretty much said “hold tight” and little else, I’ve found reading the boards to be especially interesting. Up until today, they were largely dominated by the very optimistic but very uninitiated Final …
FFXIV: Excitements, Concerns, and Beta Problems
After a brief delay, the FFXIV open beta is back on. I’m usually steer clear of betas, but I’ve been following this game too long not to try it out. It’d be like having to look at a new toy for three weeks before playing with it. So, around ten o’clock last night, I started …
Fishing in FFXIV – FINALLY Fishing Done Right
It may sound silly, but one of the first things I got excited about when I decided to try WoW was the fishing. As a kid, I grew up with an outdoorsman father. We’d go out fishing together in real life, and then I’d come home and while away the hours with any of the …
The Multiverse – Episode #23: “The Little Things are Best in Space”
Hey gang, Another week, another Multiverse! This week we touch on the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning trailer, FFXIV’s recommended requirements, the cast of DCUO, and more! We have a clarification from last week, too. It seems that the reported 200k new subscribers for LotRO were actually beta applicants. Still impressive, in my opinion! Thanks to …
FFXIV Just Scared a Lot of People Off (Recommended Requirements)
Word on the recommended system requirements for Final Fantasy 14 (dropping Sept. 30th) has been spreading like wildfire across the internet today. Here’s a direct link to the source, but I’ll repost it here: The following PC specifications are required to run the game smoothly with our stipulated in-game settings. Window Size and Display Mode …
FFXIV Set for (Half of) Launch
I’ve been pretty sketchy these last couple days when it’s come to checking my feed reader. Imagine my surprise this morning when I opened it to see a release date for FFXIV! September 30th (PC)! Yay! And March 2011 (PS3). Doh. I was really hoping for a simultaneous release on this one. Since I’d first …
