    But enough about the past-let’s talk about what’s in store for 2014. And what a fitting year for the fourteenth installment of FINAL FANTASY! The PlayStation 4 will be releasing here in Japan on February 22, a date which will also mark the beginning of beta testing for the PlayStation 4 version of FFXIV: ARR. Preparations are well underway, and we want to make sure that PlayStation 4 users around the world can get right into the action with no need to apply beforehand. Boasting the new Share feature and Remote Play with the PlayStation Vita, the planned April release of the PlayStation 4 version should be a momentous occasion indeed!


However, finding the wording a little vague they decided to as for clarification and received word back from Senior PR Manager David Yang. According to Yang, “Every single PS4 user will be granted access to the PS4 beta of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, whether they have an existing account for the game or not.” Yang also stated that the beta will open for everyone as soon as it starts on Feb 22.
