If I did not come across this piece of news, I would have totally forgotten that Final Fantasy XIV have yet to be released for the PlayStation 3.

… owing to the game’s initial reception, subsequent staff changes, and a desire not to “release a simple conversion of the Windows version in its current state, but rather an update that includes all the improvements”, the release has been delayed.

Although the PS3 version will be done, the release date is still not confirmed. The PS3 closed beta will begin in November 2012 so that means players can probably get their hands on the full game only around 2013 or maybe 2014. Of course the PS3 version will contain the game’s “full fledged” version 2.0. I wonder how many people will actually wait that long =/. PC players will be gradually eased into v2.0 with numerous updates next year.

In other FFXIV news, the free-to-play period is coming to an end between late November and early December 2011. After that players will have to decide if they want to continue their subscription, or maybe wait until the game has more of the v2.0 updates.
