Saturday 16-Oct-2010 2:25 PM Square Enix holds its hands up
Square Enix has agreed to extend the period in which fans can play Final Fantasy XIV for free - due to "the current state of the game".

Early reviews of the title - including a 4/10 from Gamespot - have not been positive, citing broken quests, a puzzling interface and irritating lag.
A statement from Square posted yesterday read: "For those who purchased the collector's edition and began to play one week before official service began, the month-long free play period is drawing to a close.
"Considering the nature of much of the feedback we received, however, and the current state of the game, we have decided to extend the free trial period for all users."
The free trial extension gives all players another 30 days before payment - and will do doubt be used by the publisher to update the game to remedy some of its biggest issues.
