The test, which started this morning and runs until April 7, will allow anyone who owns a PS4 to jump into the MMO without needing to register beforehand. Additionally, the test makes use of the live servers, meaning you'll be playing alongside both PS3 and PC players and, if you decide to buy the game when it releases, the character you make this weekend will be carried over for you to use.Square Enix announced last year that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn had over 1.5 million registered accounts , which means the high-stakes relaunch of the game can definitely be considered a success. With the announcement you'll be able to upgrade from the PS3 version for free if you're keen to play on PS4, the future's looking fairly bright for the MMO.
