$12 on Amazon to try out 2.0, hmm. Gonna think about it
Plus $3.99 shipping, and it's sold by gohastings, not Amazon.

Isn't this false? Legacy status was only for those who had paid subs for a certain number of months prior to September, had nothing to do with the boxed copies, right?
I bought the collectors edition at launch for 75 bucks so feel free to laugh at me . Onion helm buyers remorse.
You're right thats tied to Legacy status not necessarily having a boxed copy. The one perk to having a boxed copy now is getting a free download of 2.0 in a few months.
I think the original plan was to start the free trial period in November prior to launching in like, January or something. Once they started throwing around the idea of launching past Q1 at Gamescom though, I don't think that'll be the case anymore. He pretty much said something along the lines of "not as late as fall 2013, but not early in the year either, closer to the summer."
They want people to forgetWait what's going on here?
This game came out, failed miserably because it was released too early, they shut it down (did they?) so they can retool it, then destroy all previous copies so they can release the new disks?
I'm assuming people with the older cheaper discs and install and then just do an update?
Cool, thought so, thanks. I'm thinking about getting it just cause I want to try 2.0. Boxed copy should include a free month, right? I played in the beta but never picked up the game. I'm kind of anxious to try it (even though my backlog is huge)... How playable is it in single player?

They didn't shut it down, the game have been going until now. One team was creating basically a new game from scratch while other was creating patches, new content, etc.. etc.. to the existing version.
People who bought the game just need a (massive) update to play A Realm Reborn.
do they retain all their progress etc?
Have they ever said anything about the PS3 version?
Yeah it does include a free month trial period but unless you have some friends currently in the game that will help you I would stay away from it. You can level up solo but that's about all you will accomplish. Beyond a certain point you will need other's help to beat the missions and AF quests.
I mean you can try it just to see the changes since you'll have a copy anyways but keep in mind what I said. Getting help for any old quests is really hard since most people have already done them and don't care to do them again unless an LSmate needs. Thats just the grim reality of things.
:-(. I may do it anyways just to mess around. I hear its very different from the beta that i played.
That makes me wonder, is FFXIV 2.0 and update, or will you have to buy it again?
Glad I already bought mine for $12.
Hahahah. Wow. I just bought it from Amazon for $11 after hearing this.
Uh, why? Seriously, why give an order like this?
If I still have my copy of FF14 from original release(special edition one too -.-...how long do I need to go through for updates? I remember FF11 took forever...
I guess it's probably good news that they can still maintain that they "shipped millions of copies worldwide." I wonder whether Dragon Quest X will ever catch on outside of Japan.
How exactly do you go about destroying them?
No, the shop and its workers would be breaking corporate contracts. Getting caught would guarantee being fired, if not fined.
You have to physically destroy them too, when I worked at Gamestop a similar notice went out for DC Universe. We had to open and break game disc's and smash the collector edition statues.
Bought my copy 2 months back for £5 from my local Tesco. Still shrink wrapped, I bet once this all blows over it will be worth at least all of £6. Profit!
If you buy the CE from Newegg which is down to 20, as someone pointed out, it comes with a Buddy Pass you can give to someone. I assume that'll still work, since they dont have expirations on them. The Buddy Pass works as a full copy of the game with 30 days and everything.
That was my pick, I wanted a digital copy instead but as I'm not going to play it again until 2.0 hits whatever. Plus it has that rad Amano art fer lookin' fancy when it's sitting in a box in the storage room, never to be touched again

You also get that book with artwork and a security token. Well worth the extra 5 bucks.
