Filed under: Culture , MMO Industry , Opinion , The Daily Grind , Miscellaneous So Final Fantasy XIV has announced its relaunch date , along with another collector’s edition for people to buy. I’d like to point out here that I still have the original collector’s edition sitting on a shelf in my office, and it has been stated clearly that all of the digital gewgaws for the collector’s edition will be awarded to people with the old version. Yet I still have to fight the urge to buy another CE anyway, because there’s an art book and other physical trinkets.

OK, maybe not fascinated; it’s interested me. I’ve always viewed such themes as the overture of the game, the interlude between the title theme and the game proper to come.

It smells like June is fast approaching, and more importantly it smells like soon we’ll be able to welcome the third phase of testing with open arms. Which is good, since I am currently going through withdrawal.
