December 2011 is the end

I dunno where people got this figure, but people are claiming it'll be 999 crysta. ~$(Euro)9.99

I spoke to someone in Account Management 3 days ago:

We are sorry to hear you have taken such a long to find the payment options.

The cost for Final Fantasy XIV is ?12.99 for a period of 30 days including a single character. Also additional playable characters will be ?3.00 per service.

Please bear in mind the 30 day free trial for Final Fatasy XIV has been extended until further notice. During this time frame playable characters & retainers linked to the account will be free of charge. Billing will only start at the end of that period.

Do not hesitate to contact us again if you need more information.

Kind regards,
