Hahaha, i saw that on the weekend, also on a sunplus today i saw a FFXIV banner.
 
Somebody mentioned this a couple of pages ago...

Should we make a new thread for when the character creation benchmark thing comes out (Aug 1)? I mean, we're inviting insanity.
 
Wait, weren't Phase 4 open to everyone? Why do we need a code and how do one get it?

It's open, in so much as there aren't any quota's or anything like that. There's still a registration period, which has ended, but hopefully they'll open up registration again when they open the beta.
 
I kinda wish goobbue and the Legacy mark were account-wide.

I might just start fresh, but I love my goober and I don't want to abandon him.
 
guys is there anyway to tell if ive registered for the beta? i received the beta key but its not working. im thinking maybe i tried it and missed that it went through and now that im trying over and over the key isn't working. is there any place to login to see that its connected to my account. i tried support but they havent gotten back to me yet :/

if you can log in to the arr beta forums i'm pretty sure that means you're eligible for the beta

Egis's are cool. Plus don't Summoners get to summon a primal as a Limit Break? That's cool enough for me. And I think I'm going to join the Lalafell Brigade.

No, Primal summons are basically a consumable item which drops from beating them, anyone can use them, only one can exist on a server at one time and once it is used it goes back into the loot pool.

Summoners Limited break will be the same as Black Mage and Scholar will be the same as White mage.
 
Is anyone thinking of incorporating the naming lore into your character name? I'll be running two Hell guard Roegadyn and I think I'll try it. At least for the last name.

The Roegadyn naming conventions is the biggest reason why I'm choosing Hellsguard as well. :) That and they look awesome with a full beard.
 
If I understand it correctly, there is no character progression after finishing the story or hitting lvl.50. You don’t get any new skills or traits for ending content. The only progress you make is only via better gear. Is that correct?

Yup, until expansion or they add more jobs or skills maybe.
 
Detailed maps of La Noscea, The Black Shroud and Thanalan areas, including points of interest. These were made from phase 3, so things can change.

About maps, are we going to see an improved map in phase 4 and launch?
The map in phase 3 was pretty bad, especially when you "zoomed" out.

Awesome, it took me a while getting used to the world map, this will make things easier by a lot



Anyway, how big is the world map compared to other MMO? i only know FFXIV from this beta so i have no idea about the other areas

We can expect changes to the PS3 map, but the PC version worked without problems.

Just so you know, there will be 2 more regions, Coerthas and Mor Dhona added for the next beta/official release, which will be of comparable size as the other three.

They're adding quest markers to zone lines if the quest objective is in another zone and filter options for map icons.
 
Is the open beta going to have any fresh start servers available that won't allow legacy's at retail release?

Legacy characters can't be moved from their current servers, there was a transfer campaign this month but it was only to move to other legacy server.

If there are any new servers besides the ones in phase 3 it's unknown yet.

Thanks, have they announced the fresh start server names to know what to look for?
 
Time......passing...........so.......

Tell me this will work GAF.
Okay, today has been confirmed that there will be no character benchmark for PS3.
My plan, is to create a character on PC with the benchmark and when I have a perfect one start a new game with the saved character in phase 4. This will save my character on the server I choose, no?
Then I can continue playing on PS3. Seems doable?

You'd need to create the character in phase 4 on PC and play them on PS3.

The saved characters from character creation are stored locally, not on the server.
 
No way. I still have games out the ass on my backlog to play!

So do I, I'm just working through most of them after dark. Summer is too short for me to not utilize it. Conversely, winters here are too harsh for me to do things like, get in bicycle rides.

Besides, a little natural light never killed anyone.

I think he meant he's going to actually start playing with that character on PC and then switch to PS3. I think that would work.
