Final Fantasy XIV‘s first expansion launches into early access in just 10 days as of this writing, right after the wrapup of this year’s
E3. Naturally, the team will be there to show off
Heavensward, but fans who can’t attend can still take part in
the various video events hosted during the show. Preliminary patch notes for the expansion will be examined on June 16th, the community live show will be held on June 17th, and another
Letter from the Producer LIVE will happen on June 18th. If you can’t wait for more news on the expansion, it’ll keep you supplied with tidbits.
The game’s official site has also started an art countdown leading into the last two weeks before the expansion’s full launch on June 23rd, with a new illustration each day by part of the game’s art team. It’s the final countdown now; there’s nothing for players to do but get comfortable and wait until the expansion is playable for everyone.
Budukahn Those ARE actual keys for the expansion. Early Access is not “beta”, it’s early access to the expansion before what is referred to as a “launch” (even though, Early Access is arguably the “real” launch). There will be no “beta” for the expansion.
I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’ve been trying to think of a way to mesh Heavensward and the song “The Final Countdown” together, but I haven’t been successful.
….almost.
Have they given out actual keys yet for the expansion? Â I preordered from Green Man Gaming but the only thing I got was an early access to beta thing
I like….*need* to be an Astrologian…..immediately.
Come on Jun 19! >.<
I am happy I get to play the expansion out here, but what would make me even happier is if I could get my hands on those patch notes now. So much information we all want to know . . .  The worse part in waiting is when it’s right around the corner.Â
Eleven more days!
