You need to choose one Grand Company, yes. I'd suggest choosing based on personal preference, as the only difference is the gear and chocobo barding you'll eventually get. It's also going to affect the storyline you'll get to a lesser extent (you'll basically report to your Grand Company and some story events will take place in your GC region). You'll also get a Company Hunting Log but I don't know if they're different from one another. Here's the Serpent Gear, Flame Gear, Storm Gear list.

Oh Ok thanks. So I assume the gears between the 3 GC are not that different?
 
Anyone have tips for the quest, think its "Ruler of the inferno"?
its level 21-22.
I either go after the henchmen and they just keep coming, or I go after the main guy and the henchmen kill all the assistant NPCs and then attack me in a large group.

level 21 btw.
 
you mean "lord of Inferno"?

which part are you stuck on?

Looks like the solo portion just before you end up in the cave.

For that part, I mostly killed the ranged lizardmen. It's important to kill their mages right away, because they will heal the other lizardmen fighting the NPCs. Then I killed the archers. I actually stayed away from the main fight between the NPCs and the boss lizardman and his pals because the NPCs were doing just fine on their own as long as the lizardmen couldn't get healed.
 
thats it.
the very start. first time I went for the boss but it took so long I was eventually killed when they grouped up.
2nd time I tried killing the henchmen first but they kept coming.

try staying close to ally NPC so they don't attack you as much. Don't attack the boss and try to get the other ones. I think you need to hold out until certain time iirc. Try using hi-potion if you have.
 
1.0 Charas are supposed to be on Legacy servers only for now, right?

This is taken from Ultros by the way.
 
It shouldnt. Throughout the beta, everyone has been really talkative, from in game stuff to random real life stuff. The FF online community as a whole is pretty different from the majority of the other online game communities, for better or worse

Yeah, so far everyone I've talked to guild member or not has been very nice. I've only run into two tanks on my many dungeon runs who weren't necessarily mean, but just annoyingly arrogant.

I expect many of my Ultros brethren to be checking the forums and the client on the hour, every hour to see when the game goes back up and inform me, do not disappoint me! >:O
 
Well, when this thing comes back up, could someone who can invite me into the FC again? My other toons got nuked. Was planning on using this set of tests to finally decide which race/gender I want to roll with. =D Galka male, Galka female or Lalafell Male.

Darshiro Noken is the name.
 
Now i do have another question. Playing a conjurer and I've been running with a staff yet i heard people on reddit and a few other sites that conjurer's should run with Wand and Shield while leveling up until level 30 i think it was that i read. Just wondering if someone here can give me some insight on this.

That's really the toughest thing about a game where everyone has all the classes and the character creator is pretty good. Makes me wish you got to design your own companion or two to be in a party with you for plot stuff.
 
I'm really enjoying playing my healer on a controller, but how effective will it be later down the line. Should I just get used to keyboard /mouse?

Yeah. As odd as it sound, I love each one. ;_;
 
I wish there was a younger looking male Roegadyn face; the ones now almost look like they're made out of rock.

Guess I'll stick with a female.

Both casters have a 1 hand and 2 handed weapon

Play what ever gives you the highest healing.

Sometimes a staffs magic power will shit all over the bonus stats from a sheild.
 
On Ultros, World Revolution, please someone from based gaf guild invite me.
 
Not sure if it was the new NVIDIA update or not, but this game is running smoother than ever, and the AA has been improved, too.
 
Anyone know what it means when you get a "You could not log in because that service account has been cancelled." message when you try to login to the beta forums?

I have been getting this message the past few weeks, and I have no clue what it's suppose to mean. I used to play the original 1.0 version, and I played a bit during Beta Phase 1. I haven't canceld my account or anything like that. I did re-apply for the beta a few weeks back when I first saw this message thinking it was because of that, but now I'm not sure.
 
Man I thought the server was still down! When did it get back up?

I've been playing for about half an hour now, so... something like that?

Duty Finder is quite nifty, but I don't like that the party dissolves right after the bossfight. Its not the most social feature it seems.
 
question about the exp bonus.

How does the exp bonus work for different classes? do they all work seperately or you can only do one class?
 
So, i created a chara on Ultros to play with Gaf this time.

Who can i contact right now to join you guys?

What's your character name? I'll be on in a few minutes, so you can send a /tell to Bubble Gum for an invite or drop your character name here in the thread. All members currently have invite permissions so you can also ask any other member you run into out in the world, though they may not know how to send an invite or may need to figure it out.
 
Having trouble starting the game, there seems to be some trouble with the Server :/. I dont think its my connection since the signal is pretty high. All servers are online when I click World though. Weird...
 
Duty Finder is great. I;ve done several dungeons and guildhests and only took like 20 seconds to find a party.
 
While I have not played any of the Final Fantasy MMORPGs since the PS2 beta of FFXI, replaying FFV has made me interested in playing a game with jobs again. I spent all my day off watching the cutscenes from 1.0 on Youtube. I already preordered FFXIV but I am impatient. I don't want to crap up the tIf anyone has a key for the NA PC beta they can part with, I would be willing to gift a $10 game on steam for it.
 
Duty finder works nicely. Finished a Toto-rak run with a nice group of people and I managed to snag a pretty cool bow.
 
Haukke Manor can be very tense. I was with a Japanese party. We wiped a few times, but we managed to win with one minute left.

Wasn't allowed to friend them. That's not a good thing.
