Because the PC CE is sold out.
Thanks.
Maybe too much of a hassle, but did you consider importing the EU version? It should still be available in some online retailers.

That's cool, didn't know you could see your character on the web.
Here's mine, haha http://na.beta.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/4791785/
I have to say I'm pretty proud of how damn cool looking she is

Awww, cute.
Wow, she looks awesome.

Speaking of gear, they really need to add more interesting stats to the artifact armors. The old versions of the gear had unique stats like "Enhances Regen effect." or something like that. As it is now, they are just the usual +VIT, +MND, +PIE, and +Determination. So boring.
I;m not trying to be hostile, but I mentioned elitism because you just assumed I didn't know what a full expansion involved. Not once did I mention WotG or anything relating to FFXI in the post you quoted. There was simply no need for you to even bring it up.
From the instruction manual:
Select your character's birthday and patron deity.
* Starting elemental resistances will differ slightly depending on your patron deity.
Then again, I just used WotG as an example of how an expansion shouldn't be released. It had nothing to do with you mentioning or not, FFXI.
So I'm about to preorder and my id that I use for the beta doesn't work on the Square Enix main site log in. So I create a new account, same email and all, but now I'm a little scared to preorder. Will I be able to link my beta account to my main account so I don't lose my phase 4 character?
My character.

I don't have him in his best armor at the moment, since I like the look of this set better. Hopefully I'll be able to get something better before this beta ends.

Regarding Grand Companies, will there be any benefits to being in the same one as your friends? iirc, in 1.x, you got bonus items or experience or something if you completed like.. Ifrit with everyone being in the same Grand Company. I actually don't really like that because I'd hate to be turned down an invite due to the GC I was in.

Are there other games with online visualizers like that? Really damn cool feature.

I'm only going to check in occasionally during the final test. I've done pretty much everything I wanted to do in this test and I'm ready for phase 4/open beta.
Dang, white armor everywhere. I'm going to have to experiment with dyes once the beta starts up again.
Do those EU Alienware keys work for US players? I have a friend I'd like to get a key for that missed out on the last offering.
Thanks for sharing it either way!
Unrelated, here's my level 31 gladiator after this weekend:

Wish they'd show shields in that image of the character, but aside from that pretty glad they added this feature.

Nice! Here's my guy
http://na.beta.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/2146184/
Gonna be changing my name back to Omega Balmung once Phase 4 hits. For job wise I'm probably gonna stay with a tank character since most of the mmo's I play I usually roll as a healer >.<
Nah, no one is going to turn you down even if there's a small boost on exp for beating a low level fight. Besides I haven't heard anything about GC exclusive events, for example you can do GC leves from any GC npc, it doesn't have to be from your GC region. Same as earning seals from FATEs.
I think the differences will all come down to colours, not even stats in gear, since everything in ARR appears to have balanced stats on everything.
Since we're all posting our dudes, meet Young Thug
If it doesn't then he can just make an EU SE account. It's not like it matters what account he's using during this week's test.
Here's my guy so far.
http://na.beta.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/1818035/
Not really into that white look that's been going around lately, rather stick with a dark blue for now.

While that's true, I'm looking to get him access to phase IV so he can start with the rest of us, so that account would become the primary account and getting a EU account might be a pain for things like simply using a credit card.
Worth a shot though in any case.
Dark blue looks sharp with that armor set. Dragoon-lite.

Ah well that's good to know. I definitely wouldn't really like GC exclusive events because I suspect some of my friends will be in different GCs from me. Are we going to be able to earn seals via FATEs in the full game? I had heard a while back that seals were only given out at FATEs to help beta testers, but I never got a confirmation.
Initially I used the white motiff to stand out a little, since people are a little more likely to send party invites to you, if you stand out. Now that everybody else is doing it though, well, it doesn't really help.
I'm probably going to try for a black motiff when things start back up. Not exactly hugely created, but not all that many colors work well for armor.
This key might only work for this phase, although phase 4 being open beta, then he wouldn't require a key on his other account.
Oh, I'm not too sure about that then. If they take that out, then the only way to earn seals would be through leves and handing in items, which is rather slow either way, so if they don't keep the seals on FATEs, they have to add something else.

Personally, I hope we CAN do FATEs to get seals, but we'll see, I guess. A dev tracker comment recently said they were going to increase the amount of seals you got from leves and quests for your GC due to some of the feedback they received.
I think you can only hide your head armor - it's an option in one of the config menus.
Doesn't look like an option so far. Thankfully, only a few sets in this game look truly bad.
Hmm. I'll have to look into it. I could always just get the PS3 CE and get the PC Digital Deluxe.
There's plans to add daily quests, so maybe they will be for GC and besides exp and whatnot, the main purpose will be to get seals, and if they are indeed dailies, then the amount you gain might be higher than just from a leve.
This is my current char, Noira Lethe.

Yeah, cheesy name, but it suits her.

I think I'll reuse the same appearence for my phase 4 character.

Here's how I looked when I logged out:
Strangely, my Darklight tights and gloves show up white instead of blood-red. Guess they built the dyeing system into all gear, to make it easier for them to make more.

I wanted to join the GAF Free Company this past weekend, but was afraid my wife would freak if she saw I was in a Linkshell (bad past FFXI karma). 
Anyway, here is a pic of my character. I wish I realized the beta ended when it did, would have left my character as PUG with decent looking gear.
I created and tried a few different races, but in the end went with Hyur since they can look pretty awesome in this game. Its a big step up for me, was a tarutaru in XI, lol.
I'm loving the game so far, feel free to add/follow/whatever me

Oh, I thought phase 3 was over.
I guess I'll get the last part of the set.

Is that the set from Brayflox or it is from somewhere else? I've only just hit cap and have the Immortal Flames chest (Pvt. 1st Class) and legs (next tier up).

Your post reminded me- are there any people that plan to play on one of the GAF servers but don't plan to be in the FC? Personally I'd like to play on Ultros come launch, but I know the GAF FC is going to be gigantic and I'll likely be in a smaller FC with some people I know. At least via this thread (or whatever thread we end up in) I can still occasionally cross paths with many of you, but after being in the FC this weekend it's very... busy, and I felt like I was reading GAF while playing XIV (neither a good or a bad thing necessarily, just not what I'm looking for in-game).
Probably in the minority on that one though, and of course I want to see the GAF FC go on to be the #1 FC on Ultros and all that.

I'm probably gonna level up my 1.0 character to be more like my Beta Character and level Marauder through the ARR story to have alongside my Pugilist.
Debating on whether I should be a female roegadyn or a male like this other character I made.

Does GAF on Sargatanas have a Linkshell or Free Company? Or both?
Given my situation, I will probably have to go the same route as you, though it did hurt a bit to see when someone with [GAF] passed me
I couldn't tell you. You might want to drop a quick word with SE's customer service and ask them if you can use the EU bonus items on your NA account.

I'm hoping the GAF FC folks will have a LS setup as well, because I'll definitely take a pearl if that's an option. If not, there's always this thread and I'm sure I'll be seeing most of you fairly often come retail.
Since we're doing this, here's my guy:
http://eu.beta.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/2128732/
That level 15 armour really is something else, up to level 24 i didn't find a single thing better.
Wish it wasn't green and undyable though :/
btw is there a non-legacy EU server, that GAF will be on?

Dye vendors in all the major cities!
I'm not sure I'll join GAF's community or not, but I want the option, and most the other people I know whom are playing the beta haven't decided where they're going to play yet.
There are certain things, the being apart of a community should help with. Materia binding for example, should work far better if you have plenty of friends in with different jobs. Since Blacksmiths and only attach to armor, armorers can only attach to armor, leatherworkers can attach to bracelets, and so on, to get yourself fully decked out in Materia you almost NEED a support group by default. The amount of man hours to level all all the crafting jobs single yourself, would simply be staggering.
But, like I said, I haven't decided whether I'll be joining any large groups or not. It depends on what the potential benefits are, and whether or not I actually hit it off with people in game.
