No, more like a monthish ago announcement:

Regarding Billing Procedures (12/16/2011)

As previously announced, we will be bringing the extended free trial period to a close and introducing subscription-based billing to FINAL FANTASY XIV, commencing Friday, January 6, 2012.

Beginning today, players have the opportunity to set up a subscription plan. Upon agreeing to the terms and conditions of subscription-based billing, we ask that you complete the procedure via the Square Enix Account Management System.

Please note that we are working to implement additional payment options around the commencement of billing in early January.
