Final Fantasy XIV Director Hiromichi Tanaka spoke to Game Watch recently and revealed that the beta for FFXIV will be PC only. The beta will begin with about 10,000 testers and slowly ramp up as it eventually opens to the public. According to Tanaka, the beta could be in full swing by Summer 2010.

Probably not. In full swing usually means at its highest point. So they probably will put another few months on that date and it'll get released by the end of 2010. That's about a full year from now. Time enough for testing I would say.

This isn't rushing the game at all.

Is this supposed to be an MMORPG?

Although I'm kind of burned out of fantasy games, I'll be looking forward to playing this one. And yes, it's an MMORPG (fully fledged).

I'll need to upgrade my PC before this thing comes out. Just hearing about the beta gets me all  psyched to play it.

Nice to know. Finally a company that ain't afraid to shake up things a little when it comes to MMOs, I for one cannot wait.

There attention to detail gets better and better all the time,

 

  Its bound to be a prety impressive game.

 

If only other games spent as much time on the smaller things it would the bigger things so much better.

I though this was being released in the same year as Final Fantasy XI

And oh wow.. It's almost 2010. Seriously?

Spring 2010 release please! I don't want to get older :( I want to play when I'm still young and vibrant.
