In what appears to be the quickest turnaround time for releasing a Final Fantasy game ever, Square Enix has announced two release dates for Final Fantasy XIV Online.
Square Enix has just announced that Final Fantasy XIV will be hitting the PS3 in March of 2011, while the PC version will land on September 22nd of this year. Square Enix has also announced that the game will have a $12.99 monthly subscription fee with up to seven more characters costing approximately $3 per addition.
While this pricing scheme is currently set for the PC version of the game and the PS3 price is not known, it will most likely follow this pricing scheme. A collector’s edition was also announced for PC, and while it comes with a plethora of extras, it is not known if it will also come to the console version of the game.
