aligada87

ok so i got a question bout ffxiv arr. im an old ffxiv player and from what i remember during beta yoshi stated that we wouldnt have to buy the new ffxiv arr if you are a holder of the previous ffxiv. so im trying to figure out how to do this and download the game to try it if i would like it. i have played beta but beta is diff from release. my question is do i have to buy a new box to play the game or i could use my old account info to log into the game and start my trial there? please help me out
