On Septemer 1st the open beta of Square Enix’s new MMORPG, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online was launched. I’ve been playing its predecessor since December 2003, although nowadays my presence is limited to doing the “missions” (quests that advance the main storyline). Of course I was interested in the “new MMO” in the works at Square since it was mentioned in 2006. When the official release was announced, I preordered the so-called Limited Collector’s Edition (it comes with nice items inside, along with an in-game item).
