Version 2.0

[Vaer]

I could be wrong but I think Yoshi did say those that own the game up to a certain point wont have to pay for 2.0. We can just download it. I cant remember where I read this maybe it was in one of the PDF files or was in one of Yoshi's letters until someone or I can have solid proof it's better to think this is a up in the air rumor.

2.0 client free of charge to current players.

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.
