Probably not until the game releases if I had to guess.

I'm still on the fence about upgrading to the CE digital edition. $20 for those 4 items seems so expensive. :/ I do like them, though...

I'm paying £47 for an artbook, some postcards, a soundtrack, a dvd and a fancy package.
 
Oh it'll be the former guaranteed. The only downside is that 256GB isn't enough space to install everything on it.

Thank God that Steam finally implemented the ability to have multiple game install directories. It's easy now to direct more loading intensive game installs to the SSD and keep other games on a mechanical HDD.

I use a program called Steam tool that allows me to move any game to and from my SSD, it's pretty good.
 
Try xivdb for skills.

Cool. This will work.

Honestly all I need is instead of this

Paladin said:
For centuries, the elite of the Sultansworn have served as personal bodyguards to the royal family of Ul'dah. Known as paladins, these men and women marry exquisite swordplay with stalwart shieldwork to create a style of combat uncompromising in its defense. Clad in brilliant silver armor, they charge fearlessly into battle, ever ready to lay down their lives for their liege.
To be a paladin is to protect, and those who choose to walk this path will become the iron foundation upon which the party's defense is built.

Just:

- Is the tank
- Wears _____ armour
- uses ______ weapons
- has spells that _______


Or whatever, haha. Just some simple and concise but informative run down of what the class does. Basically more hard info, and less flavour text.
 
To those who were asking earlier, the early access starts on August 20th (7 days prior to release):

Take the time to reinstall your OS to the SSD and not just your game library... it'll feel like a new computer.

Oh yeah. Everything will start fresh again. No question.

Help me GAF. =(

Him?

;_; Help me pick. lol
 
Argh seems so far away. =\ BTW, what's the guild cap? Wonder how many gaf people will be buying this game

512 for an FC 128 for an LS.

Is there a GAF free company on Sargatans?

Sort of. There is a GAF linkshell and there is a free company that is still around from 1.x GAF days called Red Dot that is not "the GAF free company" anymore per se because of how it evolved as a group during the course of 1.x (sizable percentage of non-GAF active members or people like me who didn't join GAF until some time after joining Red Dot), but we are welcoming GAF members who aren't afraid of legacy cooties. There is overlap in the leadership of the FC and LS. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=68655941&postcount=7806

Oh yeah. Everything will start fresh again. No question.

My new PC with an SSD boots up so fast that if I blink I miss the part where the Windows loading screen/animation pops up between POST and login prompt.

;_; Help me pick. lol

Honestly all I need is instead of this

- Is the tank
- Wears _____ armour
- uses ______ weapons
- has spells that _______

Gladiator / Paladin - Is the tank. Wears plate armor. Uses sword and shield. Has no spells.

Marauder / Warrior - Is the tank. Wears plate armor. Uses a great axe. Has no spells.

Archer / Bard - Is ranged DPS. Bard adds support skills. Wears leather or cloth. Uses a bow. Bard songs are aura-like spells that regen MP or TP or weaken enemies.

Conjurer / White Mage - Is the healer. Wears cloth. Uses wand or staff. Has healing and status curing spells and a couple buff spells. Has a few elemental damage spells for soloing/PvP/DPS purposes.

Thaumaturge / Black Mage - Is ranged DPS. Wears cloth armor. Uses wand or staff. Has three main schools of magic; Fire for straight up nuking, Thunder for stackable DoTs, and Ice for mana regen/light damage/crowd control.

Pugilist / Monk - Is melee DPS. Wears leather or cloth. Uses fist weapons. Has no spells. Strong DoT but takes a while to "warm up" in a fight.

Lancer / Dragoon - Is melee DPS. Wears light metal (chain/scale) and leather armors. Has no spells. Spikier/burstier damage than PGL/MNK.

Arcanist / Scholar / Summoner - Is hard to say until we see it and its skills in action, but it's supposedly a HoT/DoT mage class with one job emphasizing healing (SCH, I think?) and the other emphasizing damage (SMN, I think?). Wears cloth. Uses tomes.
 
I still can't make up my mind if I should get it in August or wait for the PS4 version which I don't know when is coming out. It's either dopple-dip or PS4 only. And there's tons of games the next half a year.
 
Does the game store your character customization somewhere in a file I can backup? I'd hate to lose the base design for my character when retail comes.

If you don't mind being behind the curve *there will be plenty of people starting with the ps4 version too Im sure* Just wait, it would be a bit of a waste if you couldn't really play because you want to play all those other games or want to play all those other games but dont because of FF14 :P

My Documents > My Games > FF beta folder > etc. the character image data is in that folder.

3 for M (one selfish vote... lol) and 3 for F.

Ah good so it's outside the install atleast. Thanks. Have they said if we can use the beta client files and just do an update come live? Or is it going to be another download?
 
Was looking into creating lalafel char on releasr is it really munchkin land with everyone picking that race? Didnt want to make a human cause that was my last character in FFXI. May create two characters why the hell not lol.

No not everyone is a lala, cat people are more common, but lala's are probably a close 3rd behind humans
 
4 M, 2 Lala and 3 F. Interesting spread. =D

Why not do away with all of those inferior choices and go with the superior choice? Female Mi'qote Seeker of the Sun?

I will also accept a midlander hyur.

Of the three you're choosing from, I'd go with the female Rogeydyn (sp?). They're unique. Not many of them out in the wild!

My girlfriend is that exact choice of Mi'qote. So, having two of us is out of it. lol

4 M, 2 L, 4 F. Wild!
 
Random question but was anyone able to use limit breaks in Phase 3?
I kept trying as a black mage but nothing happened. Not sure if I was just doing it wrong or it wasn't available yet. I was in a party at the time of course. Eventually I just assumed I did not get one but I just saw a post listing the limit breaks for each class. xD Should have had meteor. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/sys/gameplay/battlesystem

I never used Limit Break (conjurer), but my party members did. Was the bar fully charged when you tried it?
