So they had VanaFest 2010 today, the yearly festival in Japan for Final Fantasy XI where the developers spoke about all the new things coming for the game. It’s all awesome stuff, the biggest one of all to me is the raising of the level cap to 99. Anyway, the one that matters to me really is Final Fantasy XIV, and the awesome news about that is that they are starting the open beta on March 11, or not so good considering I pre-ordered Final Fantasy XIII and I’ll be picking it up on March 9, so if I get selected I’ll probably put Final Fantasy XIII away for a long time.

Square also assuaged fears of missing out on the closed beta by saying that “Those who were not selected in this drawing, fear not, for there will be other opportunities to come,” adding that interested parties should “Be sure to stay tuned! —joystiq.com”
