Final Fantasy XIV as we know it is about to go away forever. Square-Enix is spinning the current version of the game down in preparation of next month’s A Realm Reborn reboot. The studio announced that it’s planning one final hurrah for FFXIV 1.0 this week before the switchover begins.
The Seventh Umbral Era event marks the end of the current game. While players will be able to enjoy the title through November 11th, character data will be saved and frozen on October 31st in preparation for the transfer to the new version. The studio is also starting up limited alpha testing for A Realm Reborn, and players are welcome to apply.

When you log into the game at this moment there is a count down, I’m hoping it’s something in game and epic and not just a link to the new trailer as I’ve heard. I would be disappointed. I want to see Dalamud crash and burn everything. EVERYTHING! =^.^=
“preparation of next month’s A Realm Reborn reboot. “This is very misleading and incorrect. Alpha begins next month, with a beta after. The release could be next year, no official dates set.
