No beta tonight. Have a catgirl instead.
Like many of you, I’m sure, I was ready to get home from my job today, plop down in front of my computer and try out the open beta version of Final Fantasy XIV. Unfortunately, we all need to make some other plans for tonight. (For me, that’s Valkyria Chronicles II). Square Enix has announced that due to some “critical bugs,” the open beta of Final Fantasy XIV has been postponed. Square Enix’s second attempt at an MMORPG under their flagship franchise has gotten off to an inauspicious start. And considering the fact that the game is due to come out on September 22nd, hopefully these major flaws are quickly fixable, or there are going to be some angry Final Fantasy fans to contend with.
Square Enix did not detail exactly what these “critical bugs” were, nor have they given an updated schedule for the beta test. They have halted the distribution of beta codes and have made the current version of the installer unavailable. Hopefully, there will be some news in the near future to assuage the concerns. In the meantime, since there’s no Final Fantasy XIV for you tonight, what are you filling your evening with instead?
Update 9/1/10: Square Enix’s beta website for Final Fantasy XIV has announced that the open beta will start at 7 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time tonight (September 1). Square still has not disclosed the cause of the delay, though. The full announcement from Square Enix can be seen below.
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).
