So now we know what the game will require to play, but that is only if you happen to purchase it yourself. You can buy the boring ol’ $50 edition of the game and will give you a one month trial. However if you happen to be a bit extravagent and love Final Fantasy games, then you can pick up the Collector’s Edition that will come at the price tag of $75. If you wish to collect this collector’s edition you will recieve:

  • IN-GAME ITEM – Collector’s Edition preorders will include a reward code to receive an exclusive in-game item, the Onion Helm.*
  • EARLY ACCESS – Play 8 days prior to the release of the Windows PC Standard Edition (timing of access subject to initial server capacity).
  • BEHIND-THE-SCENES DVD – Get an insider look at the making of FINAL FANTASY XIV, with exclusive video content, interviews and more in this special documentary DVD.
  • SECURITY TOKEN – A FINAL FANTASY XIV–branded Security Token for use with your regular password.
  • TRAVEL JOURNAL – Record your travels in this beautifully bound journal filled with pages of never-before-seen concept art.
  • RIGHT OF PASSAGE – Redeem a voucher to receive your fully-personalized Right of Passage Certificate, each stamped with a unique serial number.
  • AMANO COVER – Special PC Collector’s Edition illustration by renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano.
  • FREE GAMEPLAY – Free gameplay for 30 days.

Then again you will also be forced to pay the monthly fee of $13 to keep playing after the initial 30 days, bringing about the standard fees anyone finds in these pay to play MMO’s. All prices are in American dollars.
