Exactly one week ago I wrote a story on the soon-to-be launching Final Fantasy XIV beta, originally scheduled to begin today. However, it appears that the beta is now postponed indefinitely due to critical game-crashing bugs. Check out the full details below as quoted from the game’s official website.
"FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Postponed
FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, which is scheduled to begin at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010, will be postponed due to a confirmation of critical bugs. New schedule will be released at a later date.
Along with the postponement of FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, the issuing of registration code for FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test will be postponed as well. With the download of client software’s installer, it will be suspended at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
