Hey I'm currently waiting for the UK release of FFXIV in the UK. Not long now. Only thing I'm not looking forward to is the charges. Around ten pound a month for a game I don't think I'm going to have much time to play? World of Warcraft has been going for years now they have three expansion packs and they only charge £8.50. So why do Sony think they can bring out a brand new game and charge so much. On top of that they will be charging for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER! and for all the "mule" characters. WTH WoW and Runescape let you have AS MANY CHARS AS YOU WANT! Damn Sony. Damn them to hell.
I was in the XIV beta... it wasn't bad. The graphics are pretty, which is something I like about most FF games. However, as a monthly expense, I think I'd rather spend money on WoW, since it has better support. Maybe I'll migrate over to XIV when they iron out all of the bugs.
Lucky, hopefully they will release it as soon as possible in Asia. Also, I am waiting for Final Fantasy Agito, I have played the Demo and it sure is exciting.
