Square Enix has unveiled the official release for their re-booted MMO Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which will see a re-release on August 27 for both the PC release and for the first time a PlayStation 3 release.

Originally released in 2010, the second Final Fantasy MMO was harshly received, with a large amount of the playerbase leaving shortly after launch causing Square Enix to quickly halt subscription costs. Since 2011, a complete re-design has been in production that has changed everything from UI through to questing and map design plus a complete graphical overhaul.

Alongside the new release date, Square Enix has also announced that pre-orders are now available for both a standard edition and a collector's edition. The CE will include: a collector's box designed by Yoshitaka Amano; 80-page “Art of Eorzea” hardcover art book; bonus video disc; “Sounds of Eorzea” soundtrack; five collectable character art cards; Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn-branded security token to secure user accounts and in-game bonus items.

Those who do pre-order will also receive early access to the game servers ahead of launch, a Cait Sith Doll minion and a Mog Cap to strut around the world of Eorzea.
