Ben-DutkaWant to help ensure that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn doesn't suffer in the same way FFXIV initially suffered when it first launched?
Then sign up to be part of the upcoming beta test. Square Enix is currently seeking beta applicants for the trial run.
Here's what they want from you, the willing tester:
"The purpose of the beta test is to help us evaluate gameplay systems, in-game content, battle system adjustments, and balancing. Players will also be asked to stress test the new player and item search functions, as well as report any bugs found in the game. The beta test will be divided into four phases, and the PlayStation 3 version will be available to test starting with phase 3.
Your comments, suggestions, and bug reports during the testing phases will be carefully reviewed by the development and operations teams. With your cooperation, we will strive to make FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn into the best game that it can be."
There's also an important clarification for those who applied to be a PS3 beta tester for FFXIV Version 1.0: If you were selected to test the Windows version instead, you don't need to apply again to try out the PS3 version, as your original application will be reconsidered. Just remember that PS3 testing doesn't begin until Phase 3, as you read above. Do your part and help out, if you can.
Thanks, BikerSaint!

I do wonder if SE is still expecting this to sell.
I could be willing to give it a test run. I think I'll apply.
I really think SE should have cut their losses a long time ago with FFXIV and focused their energy and resources on other things.
But what do I know? Maybe SE has really turned the game around and created a quality production in FFXIV. I still wont be interested. For the same reason I wasn't interested in FFXI years ago.
Side note: I finally started Playing FFXIII in earnest. I'm almost 20 hrs in and I have to admit… I really like it. This game is absolutely beautiful. Just visually stunning. And it's pretty damn fun. I'll echo Ben's sentiments from his review that although FFXIII doesn't "feel" quite like a Final Fantasy game, it is definitely a good game.
I hope this fails so hard it hurts.
Thanks for the shout-out, Ben!
