Final Fantasy XIV's open beta is only going to last
until the 19th, which is just a stone's throw away. This would be worse news if not for the fact that the collector's edition of the game will be launching three days after that, meaning that the game's fans will have other things to do shortly thereafter. (The game's detractors don't really need the game to run one way or the other.) But if you'd like to take part in one last hurrah before launch, Square-Enix is
hosting a special event on the newly-added Karnak and Narshe servers.
All characters created on the special servers before 1:00 p.m. PDT on the 16th will have both the Onion Helm and Asuran Armguards added to their inventory. The former is the bonus for pre-ordering the collector's edition of the game, while the latter is the reward for also owning a copy of
Final Fantasy XIII. It's not quite the
potpourri of good news revealed from the pre-launch event yesterday, but it promises to still be a nice chance for
Final Fantasy XIV beta testers
to go out with a bang.
