Final Fantasy XIV Rewards FFXI Players With Free Shoes

"Are you a big time Final Fantasy XI player? Then Square Enix has some sweet bonuses in store for you if you sign up to play the upcoming PC version of Final Fantasy XIV.

FFXI players who create a FFXIV character will receive a special pair of leather boots.

Meant to be used by messengers, these boots are low in weight and give you a speed boost.

As previously announced, you'll be able to carry your FFXI name over to FXIV. In general, your name will become the name of your FFXI character plus the name of your world/server. So, if you had a character named Destiny, and your character was in the Odin world, you'll have the name "Destiny Odin."

Square Enix isn't ending service on FFXI, of course. In fact, it looks like it's trying to both spur signups and keep current players. Through January 2011, FFXI's monthly charge will be discounted from the standard ¥1,344 to ¥735.

The FFXIV bonuses described here apply exclusively to the PC version, which is due out on 9/22 or 9/30 depending on if you buy the Collectors or standard editions. For the PS3 version, due in March 2011, Square Enix says it will be making a separate announcement."

Looks like we ain't campin' Simurgh, haters be hatin.

[Banigayru]

So any schmuck with 14 day free trial for 11 can get some free shoes too eh.

[Priran]

I hope we don't have to keep our name to get the shoes.

[Khajit]

What the fuck kind of last names are those? I'm not even from odin(unless you count my initial character before I got my world pass to be with friends) and i think that at the Very least they could have made the last name Odinson so that some lucky scmuck who got the first name Thor is walking about.

[miokomioko]

I really don't want my name to be Drysi Valefor.

[Forte]

I don't want your shoes you crack dealers.

[Draylo]

Draylo leviathan... ew :/

[sruon]

Thanks OP for infos, really hope we don't have to keep Server name for boots.

[Gwynplaine]

I seriously doubt the name is required, it's probably just a bonus if you want it. Seems pretty silly given that using first and last names will make for endless combinations anyways. But the discount and the shoes seem real nice.

[Draylo]

The boots are for ffxiv or ffxi?

[jimbobsonofgod]

wonder if there is going to be a character cap on your name.

I might be jimbobsonofgo Sylph.
maybe I should transfer to Quetzalcoatl and see if i cant break their bound to be spaghetti code.

then again that would require me to purchase 14..

*those boots are for 14.

[Carraway]
