Final Fantasy 14 Billing Next Month

Tuesday, 06 December 2011 14:13 Charles Tyldsley

Square Enix have announced that they will begin to charge for Final Fantasy XIV early next month. Subscription-based billing will begin on January 6th, 2012, with the developer offering a good-will gesture to the fans who've stuck by them since launch, in the form of a reduced subscription cost, until Version 2.0 is released later in the year.

The costs are as follows - 30 days from £8.99/€12.99 to £6.99/€9.99, 90-day subscriptions from £18.87/€26.97 to £12.57/€17.97, and 180 days from £34.14/€47.94 to £21.54/€29.94. Will this get you to play FFXIV, or do you think it's too late for the game to recover? Be sure to sound off in the comments below!

With 2.0 not coming til 'later in the year' (2012) and heavy hitters like SWTOR, Guild Wars 2, Firefall and The Secret World I can't see FF14 staying around in a subscription format for very long. The saving grace for it could be the PS3 version which is scheduled for late in the year also, they don't have much competition in that market.
