Recent job postings on Square Enix’s European website show that a beta for Final Fantasy XIV may start as early as September.

Several job posts for Game Masters and Game Testers have appeared on the job page for Square Enix Europe. Each of the job openings requires the applicant be familiar with Final Fantasy XI, suggesting that the current support team for FFXI will be moved over into FFXIV.

Testing positions are said to have started towards the beginning of the month, which means that a closed or internal beta is currently being conducted. Game Master positions are said to be starting in mid-September making us guess that a beta could start shortly after.

The 14th chapter of the popular Final Fantasy role-playing series is due out next year. Unlike Final Fantasy XIII, which is also slated for a 2010 release, XIV will be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).

Videogame company Square Enix has not released details about Final Fantasy XIV, but a trailer of the game was shown Tuesday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Subsequently, Square Enix launched a teaser site for the game, where fans can watch the video.

Final Fantasy XIV appears to take place in medieval times including Chocobos and airships, similar to the setting in Final Fantasy XII.

Square Enix’s first online Final Fantasy title was Final Fantasy XI, which was available for Windows PCs, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360. Final Fantasy XIV will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Windows PCs.

Final Fantasy XIV will be available for Windows as well as PS3 — not just PS3.

Square Enix also launced the ff14 website complete with their trailer in standard or Full HD. URL Here. : http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/
