Square Enix accepting beta applications for PC Final Fantasy XIV

Final Fantasy XIII? Totally old hat, even though it's not out yet. Square Enix has just opened applications for a Final Fantasy XIV beta, for the Windows version only. "All individuals are invited to apply," the page reads, "regardless of their past MMORPG experience."

Slow down, chocobo! Before applying, you need to be 18 years old, have plenty of hard drive space and an internet connection (obviously), be fluent in Japanese, English, French or German for the purpose of bug reports, and have a Square Enix ID account.

Though the current round of applications is only for the PC version, Square Enix indicates that a PS3 beta may be on the way later. And if you don't get in this time, don't worry -- the company says there will be "several rounds of tester selection, with the total number of participants increasing each time." And if there's anything Final Fantasy fans are good at, it's waiting their turn.

enjoying it very much. you should consider importing.

If you write a comment like this you are officially an ignorant douchebag. It's like shouting out to the world "MY INTELLIGENCE RIVALS THAT OF A DOORKNOB!"

Fuck you, scumbag. It's the 21st century, why don't you join those of us who have matured past middle-school level gay jokes?

I'm sorry sir I can't hear you. You do not put the microphone entirely in your mouth. Perhaps the penis shape was a bad idea, I think it appears too enticing for you.

Please, let's keep this going. I think we'll all enjoy watching you make an ass of yourself, the Joystiq community can see your true colors.

I'm a heterosexual male - not that it matters. I welcome any more gay jokes you can muster up. Something you overheard at recess, maybe?
