Having deja vu? You should be. Here at Gameshoe, we recently published a story saying that the open beta for FFXIV would go live yesterday. That was incorrect. However, just like any other time we've ever been wrong about anything, it wasn't our fault. Square-Enix delayed the beta due to "critical bugs". Don't worry though, they've assured us that it's going live tonight at 9:00 Pacific Time. Honestly, this makes me wonder what kind of bugs could be present that would delay the release of an open beta, but wouldn't be immediately fixed following the closed beta. Oh well, pretty soon we'll all be enjoying Final Fantasy XIV. And by "we all" I mean "not me" because I have a Mac.
