Thats one sexy special edition. Even though I have the original special edition and have no plans to play it on ps3,I'm gonna buy that because it is pretty damn sexy.

More just released today stuff:

ROCKING trailer. With actual screenshot clips, both PC and PS3.

Minimum and Recommended System Requirements. Say goodbye to XP....

Full info from Squenix on the new CE and SE releases.

Release date!!! August 27th, 2013

What is the difference of digital copy vs having it physical? pros & cons O: Thanks <3

Digital you just get the the game and the ingame items. Physical you get the box with all nice stuff it come with if you buy the CE.

If you buying a normal version then it does not matter which one you buy.

Looking forward to trying this game!

I have to say after the bad taste the first ffxiv left in my mouth i am truly looking forward to this game, from all that i have seen and read very positive comments on various sites and the thing they are doing for those of us who bought the CE version is very nice and i find that a good sign.

Question to anyone who can answer I do have ce edition i played the game got items but uninstalled the game do i need to re install or just log in to the sq account website.

looking forward to seeing everyone when game is released.

I Have a very good feeling about this game and the direction it is heading.

Good job SQ-e

thanks and looking forward to seeing many of the old players from ffxi i hope some of them try it.

I not sure what your question is asking but i guess i answer what i think you trying to say.

Everyone who pay for the game would get the new client for Free.
Everyone who got the CE would get the 2.0 CE in the mail box ingame.

I have a question. Do people who already bought 1.0 on pc get the pre-order bonus? If so then i would rather buy the ps3 standard version and spend the 20bucks upgrading my pc version to CE instead of the 40 dollars on ps3... Am I reading that right?

I'll admit it I'm lazy so no links for you.

If you already own 1.0 you can download the client for free.
If you already own 1.0 CE you can download the client for free & you will get the digital content for free.

If you already own the 1.0 CE, you can still benefit from buying copies. The PS3 version will allow you to access the servers from your PS3. Buying either the PS3 collectors OR the Computer collectors will net you with more collectors physical stuff.

I think there are also pre-order bonus' which don't have anything to do with having a previous copy of the game, you would have to pre-order one of the 2.0 versions. (Mog hat, and stuffed Cat Sith iirc)

If you have a 1.0 account you get the 2.0 Client for free. To play on PS3 you have to buy the game for the PS3 and add the code to your account to let you use both system. The pre-order items does not come with the 20$ upgrade CE you have to pre-order the game to get said items.

I read somewhere that if you have the pc version you get to download the ps3 version for free. Where they mistaken?

Edit: Never mind. It says if you buy the ps3 version you will get the pc version for free... Second page under the part that is labeled Dual Wield.

That PC collector's edition is so much better than 1.0 CE version. I'm sold already by the demo video from yesterday and the CE. Guess my two year break from FF MMOs is coming to a close.

Hmmm that new to me i never saw anywhere that SE said if you get the PS3 version you get the PC for free.

Zen, you are right, Squenix never said such a thing.

Phenomena, you aren't quoting Squenix. And CVG is wrong.

THIS is how it will work.

You will be able to download the PC client from several sites after it is officially released. This is a much faster way to install the client than the Squenix download. If you have an account from buying the PS3 version you can now play on either system.

Other than making the game account linked rather than platform linked, SQUENIX HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

Got a question about when it's released and you're able to play, One you pick server Excal or whatever you choose. You then have to pick a datacenter? EU/JP/NA? Which means you can't play with anyone who's picked one of the other two options? Do you get a choice everytime you log in or just a one time thing?

Thank you. This makes more sense. Just wish they will tell us if PS3 CE will have a DD or not. I want to pre-order but id rather have a DD. also sad that gamestop doesnt have the CE for sale... at least not atm. Will most likely have to order from amazon. (3-5day delivery) :( though since i have it on pc i should still be able to play it a week early. so its all good

You can pick a Datacenter from EU,JP,NA but once you pick it you stay there. To later on they give a way for you to switch worlds it may be for a fee like in FFXI. Also there be two servers type

Type 1. For New and 1.0 player base.
Type 2. For new chars only "This is great for players who don't want to be in a world that there so many high levels. Pretty much it's a world full of level 1 char at release where you have to start a guild and find friends.

Or you can play in type 1 where you can get level 50 and find a will known guild to play with.

Kinda annoying then.. I have tons of NA friends I was looking forward to playing with on my kind of EST schedule but I wanna play with some of my EU friends during the day.

My endgame and many others are going to NA. We are also losing some of our EU members due to that fact. People want to play in servers near to them so many NA,EU would pick the one close to them.

The only one who really happy would be most JP players base. I read some of the JP comment and it like 50/50 some hate the idea that they wont be much EU/NA player base and some are super happy they don't have to deal with NA/EU anymore.

Funny part seeing how there really no need for /sh it's all dungeon finder you can simple click what language you know and it would send you inside a the fight with other players. So they could simple end up with NA players in there party anyways.

But anyways i'm happy and sad about it due to the fact that i like seeing a lot of people. I play durning JP hours so i guess i wont see so many players ;(
