You’ll Finally Be Able to Get Those Super-Fancy Final Fantasy Art Books (via Kotaku)
Maybe you were lucky and got a copy of the boxed set for The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy by renowned artist and living legend Yoshitaka Amano. Or maybe you were out of luck like thousands of other poor sods and couldn’t grab one before they sold out. Well, buck up, poor sods. You’re in luck. Dark Horse is putting those volumes back in print, in a new edition that comes out on June 19th for $89.99.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Beta Tester Recruitment Now Open (via RPGFan)
If you’re like me, you’ve been following news of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn like a hawk. Or a hawk-eyed chocobo, maybe. The once-doomed MMORPG is edging ever closer to its glorious rebirth, and as of today, eager adventurers can sign up to be a part of the game’s Beta test. Keep in mind that if you played Final Fantasy XIV Version 1.0 and attained Legacy status on your account, you automatically qualify to be a Beta tester beginning from phase 1. Similarly, if you were an early purchaser of Final Fantasy XIII and have a Square Enix Members code, you can enter that for priority access to the Playstation 3 Beta. For more information and to sign up, head on over to the Beta tester application site.

Final Fantasy Artniks Has 1 Million Users, I Wonder How Many Killed Sephiroth (via Siliconera)
Final Fantasy Artniks is a crossover title with character cards from all of the numbered Final Fantasy games and spinoff titles like Dissidia, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and Final Fantasy Tactics. Square Enix announced today the game has reached one million registered users. It launched on November 30, so it took a little over a month. For the sake of comparison, Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade, which uses the Theatrhythm art style and was done in partnership with GREE’s competitor Mobage, reached a million users in less than a month.
