E3 2009: Whoops! Final Fantasy XIV Official Site Confirms PC

Just hours after SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton announced that Final Fantasy XIV would be exclusive to PlayStation 3 in 2010, Square Enix's official site for the game has appeared to set the records straight, confirming the game's status as an MMO, and its release on both PS3 and PC next year.

How rude.

The newly launched site also features the new trailer as shown at the Sony presser, which I will post here when a decent embeddable version appears on the internets.

Other interesting details from the site confirm that many of the key personnel from Final Fantasy XI will be invlovled in the game's production, as will Final Fantasy soundtrack veteran (and independant composer) Nobuo Uematsu.

I guess Tretton must have meant to say "it won't be on Xbox 360 next year."

Man, I would love a full, save-able version of that piece of artwork on the website.

hey Billy, long time no see!

yeah, that art is pretty stunning.

i hope there will come a day when in-game graphics can look like concept art like this and still gain mainstream acceptance.

unfortunately, that day seems a long way off.
