THE FOLLOWING IS THE ONLY CONFIRMED INFORMATION AVAILABLE AS OF 6/3/09
If it is not in this list it is an internet rumor and you should think before posting it.
*Confirmed for PS3 and PC. They are currently considering other platforms like "Microsoft Hardware" but nothing has been decided.
*There will be no character transfers from FFXI to FFXIV, but you will be able to transfer your Friends List.
*POL will not be used.
*Races will be "similar" to the ones in FFXI.
*There will be a "job system" but this is undefined and will be different from FFXI.
*FFXI (Vana'diel) and FFXIV (Eorzea) are completely different game worlds, there is no relation.
*FFXI will not be canceled with the release of FFXIV. There is another year of content for FFXI planned currently. You will be able to play both FFXI and FFXIV at the same time.
*FFXIV will be a bit "more casual", whatever the fuck that means.
*FFXIV will have solo content. Battles will range from many vs. many to many vs. one. Again, whatever the fuck that means.
*There will be a simultaneous worldwide release, with English, Japanese, German and French language versions at launch (Now if they could just do that with all of their freaking games, LOL). No plans for Spanish in the short-term.
*The trailer had both CGI and in-game rendering. No confirmation of any in-game combat or actual in-game content.
*Job system will be "fairly different" from FFXI. "The player can grow & develop in a more natural way without putting too much weight on the player."
*Content will range from solo to what very large groups, and range from casual to hardcore.
*There is absolutely no concrete information about the Beta.
*No pricing structure has been decided.
