    I didn't get mine also.

    By the way I did get an email saying that as a previous owner of the original FF14 I get the game for free, is that the 14 days free game time then ? Or do I get 30 ?

    More than two years have passed since the decision was made to replace FINAL FANTASY XIV (hereafter referred to as Version 1.0) with an entirely new game, and we are pleased to inform you of the upcoming release of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

    About FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn
    FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (hereafter referred to as FFXIV: ARR) features an all new game engine, server structure, battle system, user interface, and a completely redesigned world. Now that development is nearly complete, official service will begin on August 27, 2013.
    All players who purchased Version 1.0 will be able to download the client for FFXIV: ARR free of charge. For more information on the various changes in FFXIV: ARR, please proceed to the official website.

    Beta Testing

    FFXIV: ARR is currently in the beta testing stage, with plans to begin the third phase of testing on June 14, 2013. All players who hold a service account from Version 1.0 have been granted access to the beta test.

    We welcome all players from Version 1.0 to download the beta client and see the myriad changes in FFXIV: ARR.

    * Additional information regarding how to participate in the beta test will be sent at a later date.

    The Lodestone

    After phase 3 begins on June 14, 2013, players will also be granted access to The Lodestone regardless of service account status.

    Players can use the Lodestone to determine the world their Version 1.0 character has been transferred to, as well as check the status of former linkshells and contact friends from Version 1.0.

    Transitioning to FFXIV: ARR from Version 1.0

    For those interested in playing FFXIV: ARR, information regarding the transition from Version 1.0, including the establishment of regional data centers, has been compiled on the Lodestone.

    Please review the details of the new regional data centers and world transfers.

    Furthermore, a two week "Welcome Back Campaign" will be held following the start of official service, allowing players from Version 1.0 to enjoy FFXIV: ARR free of charge for a limited time. We hope you will take this opportunity to play the game and experience FFXIV: ARR.

    Version 1.0 did not meet the high standards expected of a FINAL FANTASY title, and for that we offer our sincerest apologies. We will continue to work together with the FFXIV: ARR community to ensure a high quality gaming experience in the future.



    This should be in the pay to play section not in f2p

    You will not be able to play Phase 3 unless you previously had an active account.

    Also, do I need a beta code to get into Phase 3? I got the email telling me further instructions would be sent to me at a later time, but never heard anything else from them. Pretty lame.

    It seems like they are trying to solve why 1.0 players have not received their keys yet.

    They allow to people with 1.0 accounts to upgrade their accounts to CE when the game releases. If you already have a 1.0 CE account, then get the CE for ARR free of charge.

    anyone here playing a marauder? if so.. whats up with the skill Fracture, its completely useless. a 100 potency attack with a 20 potency DOT over 18 seconds. at first i thought it would be 20 damage every tick, now that would be somewhat usefull, but its actually dealing 20 damage spread over 18 seconds, so thats like 1 dmg per tick -.-
    your better of just comboing heavy swing>skull sunder and just dropping fracture

    unless they changed what it used to do, then yeah it seems useless atm lol.
    It used to be usable after you parried an attack, which caused the enemy to not be able to use weapon skills for a certain duration.
