Final Fantasy 14 online copy

I have a few friends who after seeing the new trailers are interested in trying out the game but the online copies are no longer available it seems. Too bad for them? They have to wait until ARR maybe?

I believe it is SE's intention to not sell more copies before ARR.

Or try in stores. Maybe some still have hard copies.

if they can find a copy they need to hurry in 8 days you can't register a character and char creation will be disabled....

They're just going to have to wait for the beta. There is honestly no point to even start playing at this point of time besides to experience the live world end event, which I'm sure alot of people will stream online or record.

To also clarify.
NOV 1 - Character data save maintenance
NOV 11 - world end event.

very good point because even if they got their account know they wouldn't be able to play after the 30th since they wouldn't be a paying customer yet then again they may i don't know lol might have read lodestone wrong

ah yeah read it wrong


New users who have registered a new account by September 29, 2012, 11:59 p.m. (PDT)

As long as your 30 day free trial end date is after September 30, 2012, you will be able play the game for free until operation of the current version of FINAL FANTASY XIV terminates.

New users who wish to register a new account after September 30, 2012, 0:00 a.m. (PDT)

Registration services will have ended and you will not be able to register a new account to play the current version of FINAL FANTASY XIV. You will have to wait until FFXIV: ARR is launched.

All FFXIV 1.0 Copies have been taken off the shelfs like a month ago. I'm sure you can Pre-Order FFXIV: ARR though ( whenever it comes out)

Oh right, better not since they wont be "paying"

Nope. SE has given credits to merchants to destroy the remaining inventory of the original version.

If you don't already have a copy of the game or a buddy pass and a friend who can install it for you, you're SOL until 2.0.

I have 4 buddy passes I have yet to use so if they still work and they let you d/l off of that site you can have one but like others have said, the game goes offline in like 40 days so i dont really see a point in it.

Thats why i said maybe.
I dont think they will ALL destroy all the copies. Some may be slow or some may just not care enough.

pertty point less to even bother playing now other then getting the game at a low price.

Was thinking the same thing. It's worth trying to find a copy if only to save $30 off the price when it relaunches. Though I'd most likely buy it again for PC if only to have the 2.0 box too.

i also have a friend wanting to get the game if you wouldn't mind tossing one of those my way

They'd only be able to play for a week... Don't bother.

to my understanding. as long as your active time goes passed sept 30th you can still play including Free trials. I would assume the buddy pass worked in a similar matter since it gives 30 days

Considering that SE requested that stores destroy thier remaining copies of 1.0, I'd think that's unlikely

pm me and ill see if i can dig one up.

There are no PMs on this forum.

Same logic as why they're shutting off billing over a month before the data is no longer saved and the servers are shut down. If they sold new copies/codes right up to 9/29, you'd risk people buying copies only to find they can't even register them. "Omg, I paid money, opened the box so I can't return it, and I can't play!?" *angry-head-shake-slobberfest*

Edit: Fixed a few things because I was too busy having an angry head shake slobberfest

your friends just don't know where to look or just didn't try because this took me about a minute to find.

Technically, they aren't even suppose to be selling them anymore, they were asking to destroy them. Same thing with everyone else that's selling them.

would PM if you could on lodestone

Despite all the comments saying wait till ARR is out, if someone has a buddy pass available then I would gladly appreciate it if you would kindly hook me up.

I know of a store that still has them in NJ so all games have not been destroyed

with the mass murder of FF14 1.0, I am kinda glad I got to buy the special edition box set

Theres probably quite a few still trying to sell them, as I'm sure SE credit offer was lower then what they would make off the game. Personally I wouldn't buy from a store like that again if they knew, simple way of finding out is asking the manager if they knew this.. if they claim not to have and it still stays on shelf.. bad business

Well getting them now is pointless because you have to " Pay" for September, and if you don't then you only would be able to play for 6 more days. It be a wait of money, I'm not sure if you'll get FFXIV 2.0 for free at this point.

If they have watched the new trailers, then ARR is what they want to play. Not this version lol.

The New FINAL FANTASY XIV and the PlayStation®3 System Version

Between October and December of 2012, we plan to integrate the current service and the coming PlayStation®3 version into the all-new FINAL FANTASY XIV. At this time, a second free trial period will also be offered.

Among our new plans is the fundamental reworking of in-game maps. As part of this process, there will be a period required for switching over to a new client and new servers, after which there will be a large transfer of data when service is brought back online. After the new client is completed, new software for the PC version will be distributed online, and can be acquired free of charge. Character data and progress for players already playing the PC version will also be preserved, allowing those players to continue using their in-game avatars. Another announcement will be made in the future as the day on which the new FINAL FANTASY XIV software will become available for download draws near, and the PlayStation®3 system version officially released.

Ah cool, Thanks! hrmm.. so why even pull the game o.0
I figured the whole reason for pulling it was so nobody felt screwed out of money for buyign a game that would play one month and have to buy a whole new one. Glad we won't have to pay for a new copy if we already have 1.0
