The open beta is the only trial people will get for at least a month, probably more than that. So I'll take that freebie.

^ This, this is the scourge of game development, this is why games like AoC got released seemingly "half-done"

So I should buy it without deciding whether or not I actually like it?

I'll pass. Got burned enough on FF11.

Thats what the trial is for after release, which will be active within a few months of the game going live. Then again, it took them a reallllllly long time to get one active for FFXI.

And true enough, for a lot of people-FFXI just wasn't for them. It was a pretty rigid game, with quite the learning curve.

Wasn't the gameplay that ticked me off that much.

I bought it the same time as a friend did expecting to be able to play with him, only wait, you can't pick a server and you only get one character unless you pay extra per char!

WTF. That was the most retarded thing I'd ever seen in MMO land, and still is.

If they haven't fixed that for FF14 there's no chance I'd buy it.

The pricetag per character is still the same. The good thing is, PoL is finally gone.

And yes, you can pick the server you want, i'm not sure what you mean about you couldn't in FFXI, after you finish creating the character you want, it lets you pick what server you want to be on.

Though admittedly, they hid the option of being able to pick any server pretty well at first.

They must've changed it after I quit playing. They had the 'have your friend pay after playing for at least an hour to give you a join code' system when I was playing. Retarded.

I doubt I'll buy it. I like having more than one char and I'm not gonna pay extra for the 'privilege.'

    • Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is in the process of making some big changes to Xbox Game Studios right now, which might include studio shutdowns, but Game Pass drops aren't pausing for that. The second wave of June was just announced, unveiling another Call of Duty addition, the latest soccer game from EA, an indie road trip hit from last year, and more. While Microsoft said it won't put Call of Duty titles on Game Pass on the day of launch anymore, older titles keep landing, with the latest one being 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard. Here are all the games that were announced today for Xbox Game Pass, their platforms, and arrival dates: Junkster (Cloud, XBOX Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) – June 16 Call of Duty: Vanguard (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 17 EA Sports FC 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 18 Abyssus (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 25 RV There Yet? (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 30 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 2 Winds of Arcana: Ruination (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) – July 6 From the bunch, Junkster is the sole day-one drop into Game Pass libraries of this selection. As new games arrive, eight will be leaving the Game Pass programs on June 30. Here's the full list of leaving titles: Mecha Break (Cloud, Console, and PC) Payday 2 (Console) Rise of Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, and PC) Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, and PC) Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, and PC) Unpacking (Cloud, Console, and PC) With June drops finished, Microsoft should have a new Game Pass announcement in about two weeks to reveal the first wave of games coming to subscribers in July. Already confirmed games for the month include the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, Corsair Cove, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, and Mistfall Hunter.
