There were. Not really quested but you made the hats. Also there are AF weapons, they are called Relic Weapons. All the NPCs you did quests for your job had them.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
One thing I definitely take issue with, and I guess its just atypical low-level MMO stuff, but christ could they switch up the weapon models a little. As a MRD, nothing duller than the upgrade path of the same fucking axe with a different symbol on it.
Game really doesn't tickle my loot aspect like I feel it should.

Idk I don't mind having meh looking low level stuff, nothing is worse than having some bad ass looking low level model only to swap into something boring. Besides until the end game stuff most of the models on things are pretty grounded in reality
As Neo said, the AF hats were already added to the game in 1.0. You got the DoL hats from Hamlet, and the Crafting hats were... crafted. Made my Blacksmith goggles and Goldsmith turban all by myself
. The rest of the AF or maybe Class Specific Equpiment (CSE) are coming in 2.0, but in what fashion I don't know. The crafting AF though could have materia socketed to it but since they were hats the types were really limited, the new 2.0 version should be a lot better

I just got a beta key and I downloaded the client but it wouldn't let me play. What's wrong?
Yeah, the impression I've gotten is that open beta and early access are two different things. What'll probably happen is
> Anyone is able to play during open beta weekends.
> Last Open beta ends Aug 10th, nothing is wiped.
> they take a week to make last min adjustments
> Early access starts for Legacy/CE players on Aug 20.
I dunno, some of the level 15-20 gear looks pretty cool imo. More of an old Ivalice vibe.
There were some AF hats for crafters, but that's it. My guess is that all these "AF" will be crafted, though?
All of the Gathering and Crafting class AF can be seen on the official site now:
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game/armoury/hand
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game/armoury/land
And Relics are the closest things to AF weapons. They're the best in the game right now, but will be required for high-level endgame content, and will eventually become upgradable, too.

I'm going to go find out today, but the website says they do.
Amazon sends it immediately, along with the preorder item codes.
You could definitely order and cancel for that without going to a place.
thanks!
i couldn't find pictures and didn't think to check official site lol XD
edit: that botanist is cute as a button
i want to skill up goldsmith just for that hat
are those gears worn by the classes their AF? or just new gears?
cuz the arcanist one is rather lazy lol...
and this pose is rather unfortunate
The beta is only on weekends, 2AM Fri. - 2AM Sun.

Yeah, don't know how the next set of plate armor is going to look better then this:

Oh wow you are right LOL, can they deactivate the code though?
I am really hoping they add a social option to armor and weapon equips so you can equip the look of one armor while keeping your stats of the other.
Vanity slots will be coming in an update.
Battle classes don't have AF - only jobs do.
The "AF" for Crafting and Gathering classes might not be AF in the sense that, like, you get them from quests. But they are in the sense that it seems to be the clothes that go with their "identity."
I think Armorer and Alchemist have the best overall crafting AF. I don't like Weaver's hat, but the rest is rather slick.
That's really good news, I have been known not to wear better stat armor because it was horrible looking lol.
So this last weekend I tried some of the other jobs after finishing my level 10 quest.
Leather working was a bunch of fun when the abilities that let you kinda gamble with each crafting even opened up. No idea why they didn't include a button to mass produce certain items though, I would have preferred if I could have just hit auto make and get all the damn leather I needed.
Botany on the other hand was a bit boring, and it took quite a long time to level up as well. Looking at the traits and what not I'm not sure it gets any better.
And speaking of the other classes, I can combine traits from one job to another right? As long as the trait isn't a job specific one? Didn't get a chance to play another fighting class as time ran out on Saturday but I plan to the next test session. (It would also be nice to figure out how to get on the airship...)

Never played an MMO with anything like this. How's it supposed to work?
In the ones I have played you just have a second set of slots per armor area that you put the pieces in that you want as visual only and the regular equip slots stayed the same as they usually are.
This game... I have a bunch of friends who gonna play FFXIV and I can't even play with them because I'm legacy. So retarded. They should of wiped everything from 1.0, I only played 1.0 for one month when they had that legacy promotion so I can get the fee discount and some mounts.
your legacy status applies to your account
it's not gonna keep you from starting a new toon with your friend
You can get the legacy benefits, and start fresh on whatever server your friends are on. Win win.

lol, I just did that, too. Preordered, then cancelled. I don't think they can deactivate the code... I mean, SE could, but I doubt Amazon will or could.

Wait, I'm confused. Can new players not create characters on the Legacy servers? I thought SE just wouldn't let Legacy/1.0 players transfer to new servers yet.

I only got one code from Amazon. I assume either it will give us both the early access and the preorder items, or it will just give us the early access (and we won't end up getting the preorder items). I'm not really sure.
On their webpage for FFXIV: ARR (on preorder bonus page), it says: "The bonus in-game items (a "Cait Sith Doll Minion" and "Mog Cap") will be delivered to the account that the pre-order bonus code has been registered to." So I assume that part will be automatic after we enter the code for early access.

It's not a consistently open beta. It's only available on the weekends currently.

So I got a key on my PS3, and every time I try to launch the game it says it can't connect to the update server. Anyone else get this?

That's because the servers are only up on Friday and Saturday.
