Square Enix went very in-depth when it comes to details surrounding the PS4 version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn over the weekend, including how people who own a PS4 will be able to participate in the free Beta Test starting on February 22nd in North America and Europe. No restrictions were named for this beta, so it looks anyone and everyone can participate.
After the beta test ends, the full version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on PS4 will launch Monday, April 14th in North America and Europe. If you happen to own the PS3 version of A Realm Reborn, you can transfer your account to the PS4 version for free starting on April 11th, but once you do this you will no longer be able to access the PS3 version. To play both versions, you’ll have to buy the PS4 version separately.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will be available in a $39.99 Standard Edition, $59.99 PlayStation Store Digital Collector’s Edition, and $79.99 Collector’s Edition (available exclusively on the Square Enix Online Store). Pre-ordering the game will net you the Mog Cap & Cait Sith Doll minion in-game items and the ability to participate in Early Access starting on April 11th.
Here’s what you get in the $79.99 Collector’s Edition:
- Special box featuring artwork by Yoshitaka Amano
- Art Book – The Art of Eorzea: A Realm Reimagined
- Special Soundtrack -The Sounds of Eorzea
- Seventh Umbral Era Special Movie Content Disc – The Waning of the Sixth Sun
- Art Card Set
- Themed Security Token
- In-Game Items – Coeurl Mount, Behemoth Barding, Baby Behemoth minion, Helm of Light, Fat Chocobo Mount and Wind-up Moogle minion
If you’re an existing player who’s registered a copy of the Final Fantasy XIV Collector’s Edition or Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Collector’s Edition, or who used the digital Collector’s Edition upgrade service, you’ll automatically be given the in-game Fat Chocobo Mount & Wind-up Moogle minion items. Anyone who owns the PS3 or PS4 Standard Edition of the game can also choose to upgrade to a digital Collector’s Edition through the Account Management System, Mog Station.
For anyone thinking of buying Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, a free 30-day trial is included for new accounts, with monthly subscriptions starting at $12.99.
