Lots of stories are that.

Holy shit, my character's gear looks absolutely ridiculously awful right now. It's hilarious.

I noticed that. Where do they drop now? I have 3-4k of each from 1.0
Everyone who uses a controller, do yourself a favor and do this.
System -> Character Configuration -> Control Settings at the bottom
Gives you a lot more control over the camera while moving.
What does that do? I tried it out and didn't notice a change.

Do you not get bonus attribute points every level up after level 10? I'm level 16 and realized I hadn't used any after the initial 3 at level 10, figured I should have a good amount to distribute. Go in the menu, only find 3 points still.
Hope that's how it's supposed to be and not that I got fucked out of points by not using them immediately.

Haven't gotten around to that yet. Nice.

You get 30 points and the first 5 in level 10, so between some levels you don't get points. Basically every 2 levels or so.
It's so distracting while the character is running that I have chosen to play in first person camera until I get new gear, lol.
Dem legs.
It doesn't auto adjust your camera in first person mode.

Well some quests give you crystals (gathering quests or similar) but to get them regularly: Gathering.
I know miner gives you crystals, don't know about the other two.

Anyone else on Leviathan?
On one story mission of you watch the cut scene it's a guaranteed wipe

I'm still waiting for digital download to go back on sale.
A proud (!?) tradition carried over from FFXI!Holy shit, my character's gear looks absolutely ridiculously awful right now. It's hilarious.
I will never wear subligear unless I either make a female character or turn my current one female.

How does the subscription fee work on PS3 exactly? Does it take $15 a month out of your PSN wallet or the credit card that it is linked to? This game looks amazing but I don't know if I have the money to deal with a fee like that.

Nah, man-subligars in XIV are 10x worse on female characters.
For one thing, it highlights the lack of subligar filler

Makes me wonder why people still order from any site that uses digital river -__-
No idea honestly (between BP4, early access and all the clusterfuck of the first days), but i took the first 1-45 really slow
then i did 45-50 in about two days of heavy Fate grinding in north Thanalan
Capping isn't that slow, if you want to rush there are ways to do that
Probably should have asked these yesterday when no one was able to play and was just chilling out in thread but here goes:
- Where are people generally starting to jump into parties with people? Is there a particular point where this gets explained or opens up, or are you guys doing this from the get go? I'm a level 16 archer and just got access to the second of the main cities, and haven't really done much of anything online yet. I haven't tried a guildhest yet, is that kind of the online tutorial / starting point?
- Is there a general etiquette in term of me seeing some guy attacking an enemy out in the field, and jumping in to help? I'm pretty sure I can't steal his experience if he's hit the enemy first, curious if there's an expectation that I should stop and help out or just always ignore them and go about my business.
- I'm starting to see equipment with materia slots but not sure what to do with those, is this explained at some point (I may have left active help off by accident) or am I still a ways from utilizing this? I suspect it's a craft of some sort?
First MMO and all so not really sure the best approach to enjoying the game to it's fullest, cheers guys (and gals)!

I only party up when it is required for story quests. You should be doing your first dungeon soon.
If you do enough damage on an enemy, even if he as already initiated the confrontation with the enemy first, you can still get XP, and credit if it is part of a quest. It does not take anything away from the person attacking, so feel free to help if you think some guy might die to an enemy.
During the story quest you will get to a place about equipping materia. Then, once you get a crafter I believe, to level 19, you can get a quest from that place that teaches you how to attach materia. Attaching materia isn't really a big deal though in early gear.

1) Generally around 15 (or when you first do an instanced party dungeon) is good for party play. It's given you time to get a general feel for your starting class. Guildhests are ok, but are much shorter than dungeons and can be derped through much easier, so they don't provide much learning opportunity.
2) Unless someone is about to die, you can pretty much ignore their fight. Afterwards, and this is just my personal preference, if you are much stronger than someone or in a group, leave their prey be. Even if they get the first hit, if too much of the damage goes to someone else, they get no xp. Because of the crowding and needing to kill enemies for story/sidequests, this often gets ignored however.
3) You can turn items that have been used to a certain degree into materia by doing a sidequest at level 20, and can bind the materia to items by doing another sidequest once one of your crafting jobs hits level 20. It's good for boosting armor stats.

Just got home from work and getting nothing but 1017 trying to login on Ultros. Glad to see that maintenance worked so well!
Thanks. Another question. How are drops handled in Ifrit's fight? Does a weapon drop, and every has to lot for it? Or does everyone get their own chest?

I got in at 2:30PM PST with no issues. This time is probably considered "peak hours", so 1017s abound. Later on tonight should be no problems logging in.

It is almost disgusting how fast grinding FATE's in the right areas levels you up.
