The open beta test for Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox has been given an official launch date by Square Enix. The beta will be available for new players starting on February 21 at around 8PM GMT.

A full release date for the game, however, has not yet been announced by Square Enix, but is expected to be released “immediately” after the conclusion of the beta. The studio has also announced that it will not be revealing the release date for Final Fantasy 14’s Dawntrail expansion until they are completely sure it won’t change.
