Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Collector's Edition revealed, releasing August 27th

I get the free upgrade since I bought the original (and played like ten hours of it at most - but to be fair, I bought it after it was known to be shutting down to make way for ARR).

Still, the CE looks nice, but I hate it when they waste space on soundtrack CDs in CEs. It's always such a limitied disc that if I like the game's soundtrack enough I'll just buy the actual retail soundtrack making the CE version worthless anyway.
 
I'm considering this as my first MMO but I dunno, isn't $15 per month (on top of the initial purchase) kind of pricey?

Well I think it's 12.99 for standard where you get 1 character per server or something. Unless you want to play different races, there is no real reason to have multiple characters, since even the mule system (extra characters for storage/selling) is built into the game now.

The way I think about it, is if I could pay $15 for a game to entertain me for 20-30 hours or more per month, it seems reasonable. $60 for 7-10 hour games are fairly common, so the hour per playtime is pretty good in an MMO.
 
damnit...


gonna be very hard for me to ignore this.
I want an inevitable PS4 version so bad and I'm sure as hell not buying this twice. :{

By the time I quit XI, I think I had 4 copies of the game. MMOs get cheap really fast. If you have to repurchase it, I don't think it'll be that much. They make most of their money on the monthly fee obviously.
 
Oh hey, I get some new goodies for free because I spent so much on the crap from before! That Baby Behemoth Minion is really cute though. I want a plush of that to put in my car, lol.
 
Question:

I want to get this on PC (well I'd wait for a PS4 version but that's not announced, maybe E3?) but does this support a gamepad on PC?
 
Details ? :P

It would be cool if PS+ members got a small discount...

Why?

I bought the CE 1.0 at launch and played it a few hours then never touched the game again. The only time I re activated was last summer when they started that legacy stuff to give members a lifetime discount from $15 to $10.

Because the discount could probably pay for itself with the people who are enticed by the deal and because.. well... I just generally like when things are cheaper. *shrug*
 
If a PS4 version releases after the PS4 launch, I hope I can play it on there for free for having it on the PS3 already. Unless the PS4 version is announced during E3 and I can pre-order the Collectors Edition for that.
 
Holy shit! The game looks amazing! Im soo tempted to buy the CE even if I know I will probably not pay to play this for more the three months tops. :( They did an awesome job making this game look good though, I am very impressed.
 
I was able to get in the closed beta for this because of my FF13 key I'm guessing. Nothing about it really grabbed me, but at least it didn't try to be a WoW clone.

I think playing it on the PS3-4 would be way more enjoyable than the PC version, and I'm probably getting it just for that purpose.
