The time has come, the time when most people will be left heartbroken. Square Enix has announced they are now accepting beta sign ups for their next MMO Final Fantasy XIV. You can sign up to test out the Windows version of the game; the PlayStation 3 beta test will be announced on a later date. Now a few words of advice for those who wish to join the beta test: Do not lie about your system, they are looking for people with all types of systems, not always that top system. Also remember that they want to test the game, not play it. They need to be informed of any bugs or small errors that the game has so they can improve it. Also if you give good feedback it will be more likely that you get to test other games. With all that being said you can sign up here. |
