Have you noticed any errors?
'Final Fantasy XIV' Is Currently Unavailable in North America
Final Fantasy XIV is currently unavailable from Square Enix's storefront in the North America.
If gamers attempt to buy a digital copy of the MMORPG from the publisher's official website, they will be greeted with an error message. The notice reads: 'We are sorry. The amount of items requested exceeds what is currently in stock. We have removed the excess from your cart'.
Below the pop-up is an addendum that explains there are currently no PC download copies of Final Fantasy XIV in stock.
Fans have taken to the game's subreddit to try and get to the bottom of why this might be, with many attributing it to Final Fantasy XIV's recent surge in popularity. User Kaisos elaborates that 'out of stock' for digital items usually means that the supplier has run out of pre-generated codes, due to a sudden influx in demand. Meanwhile,
tormenteddragon theorizes that the problem is more to do with strain being placed on the game's servers, again due to a surge in popularity.
Regardless of what caused the shortage in digital codes, for the time being, it is impossible for new players (or sprouts as they are colloquially known within the community) to join the MMORPG and create a character.
It is worth noting that this only applies to those who are hoping to buy the game through a digital download. If you have recently purchased a physical copy of Final Fantasy XIV then you will still be able to create an account.
Newsweek has reached out to Square Enix for comment on this developing situation.
