How do I get FF14

in Final Fantasy XIV

Hey guys I want to give FF14 a chance. This is not a thread to bash the game, I dont want to hear anything in the lines of "Ohh this game sux dont get it , dont waste ur money" I have made up my mind and I do want to try it. All my local stores dont sell it in a box and Square's website doesnt sell it digitaly. Does anyone know of any websites i can trust to purchase a key and a download link of some sort?

    Soon the haters will crawl from under their rocks to provide you exactly that.

    As to the question, Best Buy by me still has a copy or two, or you could go with Amazon.  I can't sem to find anyone distributing it digitally.

    after the last patches... last 2 weeks.... this game is getting really good, its def on a rebound with the new dev.  In a month it will be FF 11 2.0, and the population is starting to get a lot better.    

    The only way to buy it is from bestbuy, gamestop,walmart, all those places.....  if you cant find it there use amazon or another site.   Thats the only way to get it atm.

    do you have to pay to resub?  I wouldn't mind checkin on it, but not for another 15 bucks :)

    You can only get a physical copy of the game right now, no one is offering a digital copy of it yet. Although if you prefer, you could try your luck at getting a buddy key, and then just torrent the client.

    The only money that you have to put in to the game right now is in just the box price. There are no subscription fees or anything right now. Basically, if you've ever played Guild Wars, it's like that.

    You mst go on a long journey and find the ancient stone of Xunagtugla. With the stone you will be able to swim across the burning lake made of wasps. Then you must fight Chuck Norris and win 2 times. Then you will be ready to go on the real quest to register. Seriously though, its like they dont want you to play the game.

    I just re intalled this game again, and I have been enjoying every change they made. I like the new combat system, even if it is a little slower, the auto attack was nice. Plus I like the fact that they reduced some of the leve rewards mainly because it encourages grinding in groups like in FFXI, even if the respawn timers are still a bit atrocious. All in all, I'm very happy currently with this game.

    Well, its good to hear that people seem positive about the changes.  I still haven't come back to the game since im busy with Rift.

     

    Waiting on PS3 release to give this game another shot.

    The PS3 release has only been delayed indefinitely, it hasn't been cancelled. Personally, I'm just waiting for patch 1.20 to be out. The holy trinity of patches, 1.18/1.19/1.20, are supposed to end up radically changing the game for the better. So far, with patch 1.18, it looks like the game has already taken a huge step in the right direction with the addition of auto-attack (absolutely hated the previous combat system). 1.19 is also promising to bring chocobos and airships, along with more grand company activities, refinements and adjustments to the auto-attack system, removal of physical levels, and beast camps. Then 1.20 is going to be adding unlockable jobs and expanding the storyline missions. So hopefully between these three patches, the game will end up being what it should've been at launch.

    while its not completely impossible that there will be an eventual PS3 release, until the final PC version is released, they probably don't have the man-power to work on it.. plus there is the increasing problem as time goes on, of whether or not the PS3 can even handle the finished version.. its possible that in order to make it PS3 compatable they may have to 'fine tune' features somewhat..  the most likely outcome would be that they will hold off until the PS4 is available in 2016...  .. seriously.. image

    They had originally said something along the lines of the lack of memory in the PS3 being a problem for FFXIV, but according to this article, the PS3 version of the game has already been gold since last November. So they probably worked out all of the issues they had on the technical-side of the PS3 version, and are just waiting for the game to be good enough to be re-released.

    They are working on the PS3 version already, but are not going to release it until after the revamps.  Likely this year.

     

    There is no "final PC version" being released either, they are patching the PC version and will relaunch it on PS3.  However the PC disks they ship will likely be the same ones from last year, unless there is an expansion like RoZ attached.

    well, as development of the ps3 version was put on hold indefinitely, at least until they finish the PC version.. i guess you can read into that what you will.. its not a matter of just changing the game interface after all, but reworking of the game itself, once they finish with that.. however long that takes, they will no doubt go back to working on porting it to the ps3.. if possible.. either way, i wouldnt put any money on it coming out this year, all things considered... for the moment.. lets just see how they do with getting the game where it should be.. before worrying about whether or not they release it for the ps3 too.image
