Dragoon class!
So is it a class? Or just armor?
Yes, dragoon is in. It's the advanced version of lancer.
A couple quick questions from this on people who played the beta.
1) In your opinion, if I played this on PS3 instead of PC, how hampered would I be? In FFXI, PS2 and XBox players were severely handicapped compared to PC players who had access to better status updates, UI changes, and full equipment swap macros using something called windower.
2) Can I play casually in a "solo" capacity? (i.e. I don't have time to form a party and just want to jump in, get some good experience points or do some quests, then log out). I don't have the same kind of time to play an MMORPG in the standard MMO way.

Job complete with AF armor, and its actually pretty good. Alot better than FFXI anyway imo.
im sure the next round of jobs will have something thief, ninja, or assassin-y, there is a big hole in the lineup right now of guys who can attack quick

where is the dragoon pet to heal me
No need since potions and exlixirs are actually affordable now
Honestly I want to see how the Arcanist class and Summoner job work. And if they'll have smaller spirit forms emanating from some space behind them, somewhat like the concept art.
EDIT: And I still want a greatsword wielding Dark Knight job.

how close is this old concept screen to what you guys played last test period?
the UI looks similar
probably the best looking UI I have ever seen in MMO
Keep in mind this is from the PS3 version and the hotbars are set for controller use.
But this is from the current Phase 3 build.
This is from the PC version.
Correct. I remember a whiiiiiile back they mentioned that UI elements would be transformable (resize-able). At some point after launch they will also allow the use of add-ons for the community to further customize the interface to their liking.
1) Other than framerate not at all. The new armoury system makes switching gear instant. The gamepad UI is fantastic.
2) 1-50 is very soloable. FATEs are casual group content that do not require forming parties. The new duty finder is like matchmaking for the dungeons. There will be lots of casual content.

this sounds good. i hated the fact that FFXI discouraged addons. they have nothing to gain by restricting that aspect of their games.

graphically obviously the real thing isn't as good
but UI wise i'd say we're very close to that
One thing for sure is no matter how many times SE fuck up they will still find ways to get money from you :S
This ain't FFXI.

Trust me, as a Dragoon main in FFXI, you do not want a pet dragon in this game. Hybrid classes suck compared to the main classes in FFXI, and any time they get any good they get nerfed. You want to be the one that's doing damage, not trying to pick up slack with minimal attack boosts because you have a dragon that a friggin' Dunsparce would be able to beat up.

Not so much hybrid classes, pet classes. Yet people wanted Summoner like nothing else. Well, we will see how it turns out.

I wasn't being too serious, though the mini wyvern was a great part of that class' identity. And I was a sam forever in xi..I know what it is to suck..going rdm was my declaration of defeat.
Yep. Considering XI's is pretty ass and XIV 1.0 was pretty bad too, they really out-did themselves.
You're getting it.
If I have to come to Sweden and beat you into submission, you WILL get it.
For those in the UK, is anywhere currently offering the collector's edition (PS3) cheaper than ShopTo for £54.85?
Also, in regards to ShopTo, I've pre-ordered, but haven't paid yet (incase the price goes down), will I be entitled to the early access or do I have to go through with payment?

Maybe the Wyvern will come back as a vanity pet? Like Cait Sith and the baby behemoth.
Zavvi with a 10% off code is cheaper, or you could just put the link on Flubit, but I don't recommend doing that.

I was playing FF12 right around when the PS3 came out. This time it will be FFXIV and Kingdom Hearts.
And this is the first time in the entire generation, since PS1/2 days, that SE is releasing 2 games on PS3 in the same year and close to each other. This is what kept sales up and $ in their pocket. Fools.
GMG changed the price from 59.99 to 49.99 for the Digital collectors edition if anyone is interested...
Using GMG20-LLASD-D8WBQ knocks it down to 40~
How do i register the game after i bought this?
That SE site is really hard to navigate -_-
The boxart gets me reminiscent of Final Fantasy XII's Gabranth.
And I hope the rumours are true that this game sort of plays like XII, just online.
I don't know if I can get excited for this, a Final Fantasy that is predominantely player driven instead of story driven sounds kind of like a drag.

I really wish the PC physical CE was available somewhere other than their store. I don't trust Digital River.

How come amazon has the PS3 CE but not the PC version?
I hope the Samurai class comes back in some shape or form later.

Well, I wouldn't say it plays like FF12, but it's very reminiscent of it in a lot of ways (mainly UI, thanks to Minagawa's awesome work).
There will also be something similar to gambits when they introduce the "buddy" system.
It's still very story driven, SE MMO's aren't like generic MMO's when it comes to story telling.
Follow the instructions in the e-mail they sent.
can't find it either, only thing I see is Code registration currently unavailable in the FF14 service page.
Wait, so, I had a thought...
I bought a 9.99 digital copy of 1.0 in a sale some time back. I regged it, made an account and have beta access to XIV 2.0 through that.
If I buy the PS3 CE, I can link that to my existing account, is that right? And then use the digital items it comes with on both PC and PS3...
I'm trying to think of a way to get the CE through amazon since I'd prefer to use them instead of the SE store
Is this a good plan?

You cannot register the game yet. When you bought it you should have gotten this link
http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/us
you can put in your email address and they will notify you when you can register your copy.
Watched the locations vid, fffffffff I can't do this again. Looks amazing though.

You can't register the game now as they have deactivated that part of the account page.
You will need to wait until closer to launch I assume.
Yup this will work.
I'm trusting you! Ordered
I have no intention of actually playing the PS3 version, I just want all the physical and digital goodiesSimilar threads
