I tried to use the armoire at the Inn but it wasn't working. we might need to wait for launch to use it.
if you just keep progressing you'll get a retainer soon enough.

It might not be working now as I haven't tried using it for anything. Once you complete the story content in the beta, you can unlock retainers. It shouldn't take too long.
Speaking of Retainers, is there a meaningful difference in having two? You can deploy them to different cities, but aren't the Markets all linked together anyway?
Aside from expanded storage, what's the point of two, rather than a single retainer with double the storage capacity?

As of right now, since quests are not repeatable, leveling a new class will essentially be done by grinding, fates, and dungeons, correct?
That doesn't justify it. It's a goofy old mechanic to keep the programmers from actually making the AI intelligent at all. It's "not my kind of game" because it's stuck 5+ years in the past and trying to bone you for 13 dollars a month. I don't mean to sound so pessimistic, but this game needs to do better.
My fingers are x'ed for phase 4.
Is something up with the registration? I got my beta code this morning and registered it, but when I go to log into the forums it tells me my User ID/Password is wrong. But I can log into my Square Enix account from the main page just fine. When I go to Services and Options, it says I have an account FFXIV account, but it also says "Code registration is currently unavailable."
I wanna play!

I don't see how a mob following you blindly to a zone line is necessarily a huge improvement in AI.
It's Final Fantasy what do you expect :S
If you don't have a lot of time you probably shouldn't be booting FF up >.>

Yeah, there's a lot of issues with that. Something about the forum wanting an e-mail or another screen name you need to register for.Is something up with the registration?

I didn't mean it's a glitch or anything. It's just asking for a different name.
You can DL the client here if you don't wanna deal with it right away:
http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/download/beta/ffxivsetup.exe
"As of right now?" Yes, and probably forever.
Levequests, FATEs, guildhests, hunting logs, and dungeons provide plenty of ways to get exp once you're done with all the one-time main/side quests.
I downloaded the client but it tells me the same thing as the forum page, user ID / pass is incorrect. I can log in here just fine: https://secure.square-enix.com/acco...t=account&ref=cis_na_login&svcgrp=Service_SEA
But when I try here: https://secure.square-enix.com/acco...t=account&ref=cis_na_login&svcgrp=Service_SEA it says wrong user id / pass.
wtf square

Maybe they need to put even more emphasis on Hunting Logs so people pay more attention. It's literally right there for you to guide each and every class's progression.
I have the same issue, i can only log into that one specific link.
When you log in, check what your User ID is, I was just using my email because I couldn't remember it. When I logged in the client using the ID it worked.

Do we have any idea what the questing will be like once we are out of the beta content? Is it just going to funnel everyone from the 3 cities into a linear path or are there going to be options regarding where you are going to quest at level 25 or 30 all the way to max. At least then you might be able to choose the other options on a different class if so. Doesn't help you level everything but I think that should be difficult by design.

Holy shit..
So I'm doing the Hunting Log in La Noscea (Where the Level 23 Coeurls are) and I'm in the middle of killing one of the Coeurl Pups when a big Coeurl named "Lone Coeurl" comes running out of nowhere. Just as I think hes coming for me, a Simurgh (he looks more like a dragon this time around instead of a giant bird from XI) swoops down and they start duking it out.
Took some shots just before Simurgh finished off the big Coeurl.

That looks awesome, Can't wait to see all the little things and secrets happening all around Eorzea, come phase 4, or even better, release.

Saddens me a bit that events like this will probably be missed a lot considering it happens soon as the FATE spawns. 90% of the time so far in the Beta, a FATE has only spawned on top of me twice maybe three times.

I'm so ready for Phase 4. That's the open beta, right?
Have they estimated when it starts?

Qualifying monsters already have a hunting symbol over their names. And killing one updates the system notes in the chatlog about your progress (1/9), so you don't even have to pull it up to check. =/
Same. I'm excited to see all the little touch-ups and maybe some extra content for the beginning levels. Not to mention everything past the beta's levels.
So is everyone pretty much decided on their race/class choice? Did any of you end up wanting to main a character you weren't expecting from when you first started the beta?
I'm a Lalafell currently in the beta, but might be a Hyur for phase 4. Loved bein a Taru in XI, but I don't think i can bring myself to be a Lala for the hours I plan on putting into this game. Can't put my finger on why though........ but i do love their jump animation.
Forgot my class: I enjoy using a polearm so I think I'll stay a LNC. The later abilities also sound fun to me. I wouldn't mind some slightly faster cooldowns though, as others have mentioned.
Ya I'd like to know as well since I'm going to upgrade my vid card before then, need to know when I should press the button.

I was a Hume in FFXI and regretted not picking a taru. So in this game, I picked Lalafell. They aren't exactly the same as tarus, but close enough for me to like them. I'm tempted to change my race/sex when 1.0 characters get the option, but... I just dunno. I really do like my lalafell.

Will Phase 4 progress carry over into launch?
I was a Hume and regret not picking a Galka because I had no idea what I wanted to be and was afraid that a Galka would be a "bad" magic class. Roegadyns (sp?) look pretty cool thankfully,

I was a Lala in 1.0 but didn't grow as attached to him as my Taru in XI. I played on my Lala and made a Male Miqo'te in this beta phase and really like the mancat. I'll probably go mancat when we can change race/looks though if I did decide to stay Lala I'll definitely change how he looks.
Also defo starting as Arcanist. I need me my Carby.
I am in the beta and played on my PC, but it's really low end. I am considering getting windows for my iMac and playing it on that. Does anyone know if a late 2012, 27" iMac (the low tier 27") can run on medium or high settings? I don't want to waste money on windows if it can't.
Thanks
Thanks
Yea, I'm prolly taking that class as well. Two of my three favorite jobs in 11 were SMN and SCH, so it's nice to see them collected into the Arcanist and subsequent paths. Having a Fairy army as a Roegadyn will be amusing.

Yep, really thinking about skipping Phase 4 and waiting for the retail release to be able to start as an Arcanist.
Not to mention, I wanted to start at Limsa as well.
