Has anyone kept up with the information on this? The original had a terrible launch, so I can't imagine a second chance to be any worse lol
-
most people wont even bother
11 is still doing fine, and as you said, original 14 was terrible
in fact, so terrible, it barely qualified as a game
-
...a game
A game, it is. A Final Fantasy, that is surely not.

just got my beta key. We'll see if I have any time @.@
-
I applied some time ago and got my key and that ages ago too but kinda confused where do i download the beta game lol still got the key here since first beta launch :S
-
I never got a beta key, feel a bit left out to be honest seeing as I pre-ordered the game in its original state and even stuck with it for a good few months despite all its faults ._. I'm also now paranoid I won't even get the free 30 days as squeenix seems to have stopped using the old version of their account login [I can still access it but their main website doesn't go anywhere near it, even the site FOR FFXIV]. if I log into my account on the new website the only thing in my games list is FF7 so i'm a tad concerned.
-
I have found myself more excited by this game than I really should be, especially since I don't particularly like either MMOs or monthly fees. I almost hope it turns out to suck so I don't buy it.

Haha, me too. I had enough of the MMO experience when I used to play Everquest in college. The social aspects are the best of any game genre, but the content is so combat focused, that is loses its charm fast and becomes stale. I think every MMO goes down this same road now .
I am in beta and it feels of similar nature :-\

I could give you my beta key if only i can find it lol but im sure they gave it to me before :-o

Gimme gimme please haha... nah... I'm kidding. I signed up for the beta but Square has messed up the accounts access in several regions so I needed to sign up with a new account with no Square games registered and I guess that's why I haven't received any reply yet, if they are taking any fanbase into consideration...

Now that the pre-order package is released does anyone know if there are any bonuses codes for those who have bought the first FFXIV? I remember there was a registration code inside the case...
***Ok!!! I have visited my Square Enix account and noticed that in field where I had registered the first part of Final Fantasy XIV, the Realm Reborn appears now!!! Does that mean that I have the Realm Reborn or do I have to re-order it? Please help because I want to pre-order if I don't already have it with the first game!!! ***
-
Kudos to Square Enix if they're giving it to owners of XIV for free because they fucked up the first one so bad.

Considering this is being marketed as the same game, and they shut down the servers for the original already, this is the only reasonable thing to do.
-
Very true.
-
Does that mean I have the realm reborn now? I would extremely pleased if that's the case!!!!!!!
-
It sounds like you do, but I guess you will have to wait until the August launch. Good luck!
-
Oh gosh!!!!! No way!!!!! That's the best news I've read recently!!!! I'm definitely going to make a playthrough!

Japanese Square game developers do not accept to be dishonored!!! :D :D

I've been trying to get into the beta for two months now, and I just got accepted! I'm so excited. Alas, I must wait for the 5gb instillation haha! But I waited two months so whats an hour n a half right? Woooooooo!!!
-
While I'm hardly wetting myself in anticipation after I felt 11 was a contender for worst game ever with it's shitty UI and lack of any atmosphere (it was pretty vacant when I tried it a couple of years back), I got my beta keys today, one for PC, one for PS3, gonna try the PS3 version, see how it handles on a console.
-
I've had beta access for awhile now. I may play this weekend to see how populated this phase is with the PS3 beta opening. Other than that, I don't have a lot of motivation to play an MMO again.
-
I'm playing on my PS3 and i'm really enjoying it so far! It plays really well on the PS3, although i can't compare to PC. I do know that my PS3 plays it better than my laptop would for sure. I just hit level 3 and I have to say, it's been pretty fun thus far.
-
Can't play the PS3 beta, code doesn't work, I guess it's because I'm not in the US.
-
Part of the reason it took me so long to get into the beta was having keys for different regions. Today i got an email saying I was accepted and while I was entering the new key I was saying to myself "Well, this isn't going to work, AGAIN." But to my delightful surprise, it finally worked. I don't know why or how I finally got the right code, but i'm glad I did. I just kept applying. Oh, I made like three accounts too haha. It was a ridiculous two month process.
-
Ah awesome lost my code before got it emailed to me yay! Will try it out soon with the ps3 beta
-
I started playing on my PS3 and then last night I downloaded it on my laptop. I was able to play my character I made on the PS3 on my laptop. Pretty frickin cool.
-
What's your world and character name?
I made Alyza on Leviathan, but I can always switch world's to play with Qhimm folks.
-
I'm playing on Cerberus and my toons name is Lady Sophira lol.
EDIT: So the Beta only runs on the weekends? I tried logging in today and it wouldn't let me. After some research everyone is saying it ended today. So I finally get to play (like a day n a half) and they take it it away! I'm super bummed haha.
-
It's different, but that's Japan. I suppose it's done this way because school/work schedules in Japan are pretty much sunrise until sundown, so working/testing the game isn't an option until the weekends. I don't know for sure, but that's my assumption.
All of their beta testings will take place only on the weekends, Japan time. So they start Friday for the US, since that's Saturday for Japan. They end on Sunday in the US, since that's Monday for Japan. This Phase 3 will last several weeks, so you will have more 2-day weekends to play.
-
Thanks for info EQ. I'm not as upset anymore haha. But really, I will be buying the game in August. I thoroughly enjoyed what I have played thus far and I think I read that you will get 30 days free upon purchase. Now, is it next weekend yet? :-P
-
August will be here before we know it, so it doesn't upset me either.
One thing I've noticed for this phase compared to the previous two phases are the graphics. With everything maxed out, they have been scaled down, and I have a feeling it's due to the PS3. I wonder how this will pan out at launch and and for the PS4 launch next year because I figured max settings were good and shouldn't have changed, and instead presets should have been made suitable for the consoles and lower end computers. I'm going to keep an eye out on this because they do tend to make drastic changes between each weekend.

This is a bizarre change. I can totally understand using lower settings on PS3, but changing the PC's max just for the PS3 seems excessive, especially if it's also coming out for PS4.
-
Of course they do this right before I build my new beast haha. I won't mind playing on the PS3 though. While obviously it didn't look as good as it did on my laptop (at lowest settings lol) it played perfectly and i'm fine with that.
EDIT: So at level 10 I guess is when you can start working on different classes. What I didn't realize is some of my spells weren't hot keyed anymore and i totally died. Just a warning for anyone playing, not level ten yet haha.
-
I think at level 10 is when you can pick another starting class to begin leveling and mix-and-match your abilities. Switching between the classes is done by switching your main weapon.
Classes:
- Disciples of War – Gladiator, Pugilist, Marauder, Lancer, Archer
- Disciples of Magic – Conjurer, Thaumaturge, Arcanist
- Disciples of the Hand – Crafters
- Disciples of the Land – Gatherers
Separate from classes are jobs, where it's formed by a combination of level 30 for one class and level 15 for another. For example, the White Mage job is formed with a level 30 Conjurer and a level 15 Gladiator; the Black Mage job is formed with a level 30 Thaumaturge and a level 15 Pugilist, etc. They do have plans for more classes and jobs in the future, with Scholar being the first confirmed job for the launch of the game. Musketeer is a speculated class, but no confirmation can be given at this time.

I played maybe 2 hours of this on PS3, while not as bad as XI was, it's still pretty bad and I doubt I'll give it another go.

Guys what guys I bring good tidings. I just got my beta key and they lift the restrictions on the character creation and the old and new Girdinia. I'll be using fraps to show you guys the creation when the thing finishes patching.
-
Use the "open broadcaster software" since it's lighter and free open source software. I can mail you the right settings if you want.
Here's an example capturing from "pcsx2" emulator (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o6f_mQW7UY)

FYI, the beta servers only open on the weekends. I need to check the beta forums to make sure this is true, and if so, I can showcase some video as well. I'll try Leonhart's software :)

That software looks great, thanks!
-
I believe this is so aswell EQ. After patching I couldn't launch it. What class are you going with so I don't repeat it?
-
Either Archer for ranged damage or Conjurer for healing, but I'm not entirely sure. I don't really play beta to play, I play beta to test and sight-seeing :)
-
Oh yeah me too but I just didn't want to show them the same thing you know.

I've recently started this game. I'm an Arcanist L17->18 at the time being in Lich EU server. If anyone wanna join me my name is Squellf Leonhartgr. I hate those robes though because i can't see the characteristics of my character, which I spent some time creating, but they seem to be strong for a battle gear...
-
Don't worry about the ugly robes. I feel the same. Prettier stuff comes at the higher levels :)
-
I felt so nostalgic listening to the FF8 secret ending music the time I ride that airship... I was so confused with all possible options to join so many guilds at the same time though... I just spammed the join guild option lol. I guess I should leave the low level quests in those areas for my new class to upgrade when chosen right? Because there are some quests available for the Arcanist class as well.
-
I would save the low level side-quests for when you get your 2nd class to 15. Until you reach 30 Arcanist, just run the main story questline and grind on fate/leve quests.
-
I love this suit... too bad it's 1st level... :-P

Thats what I liked on old republic most items are modable so you can choose the look you want and still be bad@$$. Yes it is better to save everything side related for the other classes. Since alot of abilities can be shared especially spells like heal.

Well if vanity slots are going to work they way I think they do, you'll soon be rocking high-level gear while still wearing those clothes.

Too bad my sub has expired... :) I'm not renewing it until they fix those small fonts issue... I can't read sh*t on my big screen yo! :D Seriously... I have lost a major part of the story due to this issue. In FFXIII they have an enlarged fonts option. Why not in XIV too? Unless it's not part of the franchise... And yes already reported this issue and talked about it in several threads...
