FF13 is being currently played but I think it would be nice to just have a heads up for a date when you will probably be starting FFXIV just so we can all start planning for it.
Would be nice to know what server you guys are going to be playing on too (heard good things about the Odin server having all the English players)
Will you guys be playing FFXIV on PS4, PC or PS3 (not recommended) its cross play among systems so everyone can still play together.
The PS4 version is considered very easy to use because of Dualshock 4 controller support and the ability to connect a keyboard or mouse to your ps4 as well.
Sadly unlike FFXI, the FFXIV servers are region locked so Japanese players can't play with North American or European/Australian players and EU/AU players can't play on NA or JP servers.
FFXI had region free shared servers but FFXIV does not. This means any of the listeners that are from EU/AU or JP regions will not really be able to play with the hosts that will be in the NA region. Just thought I would mention that.
NOTE: the only way an EU/AU or JP player can play with NA gamers is if they buy an American copy of FFXIV and play it on their system. After the first 30 day free trial though it becomes hard to pay for the subscription if you are in another country so unless you can find those (American version) 60 day game time cards or something you won't be able to play anymore.
How do you guys feel about Square Enix region locking the servers this time around? Did you prefer FFXI having gamers from all around the world?
