    So

    How long is this free for?

    Because I haven't noticed any deductions from this, I just came back online after getting it when it first came out, stopped played for a while now I'm back on I was surprised to find out that I'm still able to login.

    Free until they can justify charging us, from what i have heard there is no actual free-to-play time line.

    They've basically said that it's free to play until they feel it's worth paying a monthly fee for. I suspect this will also be around the time of PS3 release (maybe a little bit before it).

    Oh I see, awesome.

    Can't wait for the PS3 release, is there still no time scale on this yet?

    Post like this is why any sort of forum ranking or medals based on post count is asinine.

    Anywho to stay on topic. The game is free, and will stay free for months to come. Most likely sometime late fall is when they will start charging. Get the PS3 release out before the winter festivals.

    That is if SE can rework the game, get it stable, and get tons of quality content out before then. No small feat since they are reworking the game from the ground up. Major code rewrites.

    I honestly would hate to be any SE dev right now, especially for FFXIV. The game industry can be cut-throat, and deadlines are always looming. No matter if they are public or in-house deadlines. FFXIV's deadline was last November :P
