Most Final Fantasy XIV fans were looking forward to the game's open beta tomorrow, but unfortunately they're going to have to wait a bit longer.

FFXIV's open beta application site went down for a period of time early this morning, and when it came back up, it included an announcement regarding open beta. A "confirmation of critical bugs" is all we've heard so far, but whatever the problem is, it's serious enough to warrant postponing the open beta testing.

There's not a new date yet, but the announcement says that "a new schedule will be released at a later date." No word on what this means for the September 30th launch date, if anything.

[Thanks Justin!]

On your part, aren't you also speculating as to what the critical bugs could be? By your own statement, your speculation is also premature or even reckless. How is it that your speculation is "okay" and other people's speculations are "ridiculous"

It could be game breaking bugs where people can turn in their quests infinitely, or duplicate items, or solo boss mobs by exploiting certain parts of the game. Or it could be, as you said, account security issues.

Yeah invoking McQuaid is probably too mean to SE until we see if this launch is as disastrous as Vanguard's was. It's certainly been McQuaidesque so far though.
