  • Bonuses for FFXI Subscribers in FFXIV

    SquareEnix has suggested on numerous occasions that faithful Final Fantasy XI players who make the transition to Final Fantasy XIV may receive some bonuses. Moments ago, the bonuses were revealed.

    Before reading on, please keep in mind that these bonuses are strictly for the PC version. SE has promised to list the PS3 bonuses at a later date.

    Subscription Bonus

    If you still have an active FFXI account, your $12.95/month subscription fee will be reduced to $7.00/month. Multiple accounts are allowed, but each FFXI account must be paired with another from FFXIV.

    Don't wait too long, this offer is only active until January, 2011.


    In-Game Item: The Hermes Boots

    If you have already preordered FFXIV, you will get another in-game item called the Hermes Boots. For those who don't know their Greek Mythology, refer to the official item description:
    “Named after an elder god, all but forgotten in the modern age. These gold-tipped shoes have been crafted with the lightest of leathers, making them optimal for use by heralds and messengers.”

    Transfering your Name into Eorzea

    You spent lots of time in Vana'diel, wouldn't you love to have something to show for? If you take advantage of this limited time offer, you can bring your name from SE's previous installment right into Eorzea!

    Seeing as there were no last names in the old game, the naming format is as follows:

    First Name: FFXI Character Name
    Last Name: FFXI World Name

    If I were to act on this offer, my name would be Capone Carbuncle.

      thats pretty horrible that you would be forced to name your last name to your server.

      I do feel sorry for all the people who played on Fairy. That is a waaaay worse last name than Carbuncle by a mile. Anyways, I'm sure players would be much happier if SE incorporated your FFXI World into an in-game title for FFXIV.

      Say they do that and my name becomes something like 'Capone Origin of Carbuncle'. That is much better already.

      Having those shoes will be really nice at the start of the game. Towns look bigger to me,so they'll be nice for kiting mobs or fleeing, also getting from city to city. I'm kind of wondering if anyone know if ill still be able to use them a year or to down the line? A had the hermes' sandles in FF11 and they helped alot. Plus these look a little better than those lol.

      I'm sure the Hermes Boots won't have an expiration date. If anything, SE will probably make an upgraded version of the Hermes Boots somewhere down the line.
