Square Enix has chosen to temporarily halt sales of the digital download version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn as they work to enhance their online server capabilities. The game has proved to be highly popular and was met by an “overwhelming positive response” from users, causing game-wide server issues.
Gamers who want to purchase the digital version will have to wait until the server issues are resolved and Square-Enix enable downloads of the digital version. Users that have already purchased the digital download version or those who wish to purchase the physical retail version are not affected.
