[B]About:[/B]
[QUOTE]Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is the fourteenth entry in the Final Fantasy series, due for release in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Windows. The game is developed and published by Square Enix and will be released simultaneously in all regions. Like Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online game. The game takes place in a land called Hydaelyn, mainly in a region named Eorzea, which will have an aesthetic blend of sci-fi and classic fantasy elements. The game will be released in English, Japanese, French and German.[/QUOTE]

[B]Races:[/B]
[QUOTE]So far there are five confirmed playable races in Final Fantasy XIV, all similar to the races from Final Fantasy XI. The goal of the developers was to create an atmosphere of aesthetic familiarity to players of FFXI.
- Hyur: A race that is more or less human. They are divided into the Highlanders and the Midlanders.
- Miqo'te: Cat-like humanoids divided by two groups: the Seekers of the Sun and the Keepers of the Moon. It seems to be a female only race.
- Lalafell: Tiny humanoids of high agility and intelligence from the southern regions.
- Elezen: An elf-like race and the original inhabitants of Eorzea.
- Roegadyn: A large race who are a seafaring folk from the northern regions. It seems to be a male only race.

because the beta hasn't started yet in any way.
Unless you can provide proof of it having started.

[Quibblecoatl]

Started or not, thanks for the heads up, I wasn't a fan of final fantasy XI but I'd still like to have a look at how this one turns out.

[Thrice]

Looking forward to this, have applied for the beta and hope I get in. Hopefully It'll keep me interested longer than the previous one.

[Pinut]

Applied awhile back. Always eager to try new MMOs.

[Bemon]

Is this available for UK because every time I try for the BETA it says wrong region (I am using the EU beta page)

Anyone else signed up for Beta?

I did, though I've gotten no reply as to getting in :(.

srry

[QUOTE=omega322;19827148]I did, though I've gotten no reply as to getting in :(.[/QUOTE]

No one has and SE has never given an exact date on when they'll invite people. However as usual they're holding back info for the non-Japanese folk. So it could be that the Japanese people already know when it's coming.

[Luleychan]

I signed up for the beta like 2 weeks ago, did they already pick? Why wont they let me in!?

[michie4life]

[QUOTE=Luleychan;19942606]I signed up for the beta like 2 weeks ago, did they already pick? Why wont they let me in!?[/QUOTE]

Because only the signing up for the BETA has started, not The BETA. I also thought that but WPlayer said that it didn't start, so I checked it and it didn't

[Original SinN]

Oh my god, I want to play in this Beta so bad..

[michie4life]

[QUOTE=Original SinN;19972710]Oh my god, I want to play in this Beta so bad..[/QUOTE]
