What would say are the most frequently asked questions?

Fortunately enough, the OT doesn't need to be too focused on being a guide, due to the game being highly guided (at least for the first 20 or so levels) with built-in explanations.

I just installed the beta but I can't sign in to play? Are servers down? How am I gonna make my Sasuke Targaryen character?
 
Huh. So open beta isn't so open then eh?

What do you mean? Unless SE is redefining the definition of "open beta" for an MMORPG it means "if you sign up, you get in" (rather than previous closed beta phases which were "if you sign up, you might get in"). Was there some announcement I missed where they explained doing something different? :x

You know, we could all contribute to the OT FAQ. It would be a group effort like Wikipedia!

I'll help. This is all you need for the Miqo'te section.

"Miqo'te are awesome. As long as they're female, they're the best race in the game. The male ones don't actually exist, even if you're playing as one. Nyah." -Chie Satonaka

The wording just sounds off. It's probably open just the method of getting on is not very clear.
Btw, for end game, does anyone know other than 24 man raids, are they scalable? (Example: Wow. 10man to 25man)

I would edit this slightly as follows:

Miqo'te are awesome. As long as they're female, they're the best race in the game. The male Miqo'te, having recently emerged from seclusion, easily compete with their female counterparts in beauty and grace. For the discerning MMO player, they provide a delicious complement to the already widespread females. Whether you choose female or male, the Miqo'te render all the other races in the game redundant and unnecessary. Nya.

Boo! Boo!

Edit:

Your edit is acceptable.
 
Is it worth using this on PS3 for ARR? I find the keyboard a bit complicated to use not having a desk in front on my TV but just my "legs" to use as a table.

I just said I don't have any SPACE for a keyboard so it'll be kinda problematic for me buying one -.-' unless I want to play like in a circus with a keyboard on my legs all the time...
 
Perfo your lap is plenty of space for a small bluetooth keyboard. Just place it on the floor when you are not using it.

I know you think you'll be uncomfortable with a keyboard on your lap... but you would be far more unhappy with the PS3 chatpad thing.
 
Yeah but which one

The PC one? or the other 2 that are for the iPad (BT 3.0), even though PS3 is 2.0

The PC one comes with a USB nano-receiver, which you'll need for a PC unless your PC has built-in Bluetooth support. The other ones are just the keyboard itself which is fine for anything that already has Bluetooth built in.

Obviously if you think you might use it with a PC, buy the PC one. Otherwise the other two are fine.
 
I have been enjoying the game since Beta Phase 2, so naturally I can't wait for Phase 4 ( Open Beta ) to begin. FFXIV is exactly the MMORPG I've been waiting for ever since I quit FFXI Online - the audio-visual presentation is beautiful and the gameplay seems fun ( and potentially deep ).

Fortunately I have a lot of real-life friends who are just as excited as me, which makes this something of a throwback to the FFXI Online days. I'm much older than I was then, sure, and I won't have nearly as much free time to play, but that won't matter. My body is ready.
 
Wasn't Londa that girl who kept on defending everything about 1.0? I'm surprised I vaguely remember this.

I wonder.. What was there to defend, really? I tried it. I liked the design of the world - I thought it looked quite beautiful for its time - but everything else was clunky and inconveniently designed.

To me by the end of 1.0 the combat was much better than 2.0, but 2.0 improved on everything else.
 
I suppose this is why an extensive FAQ is needed.

Or perhaps a large image at the top of the OP saying ULTROS, SARGATANAS, DURANDAL will suffice. Although even then there is no guarantee people will read it.
 
The in-game stuff (the coeurl mount and behemoth barding) of the collector edition (plus the extra disc) almost has me itching to get it, but goddamnit Square, why the fuck would you have it only at multiplayer and gamestop in Italy?
 
My legacy character is on Ragnarok too.

Edit: Khrno and I have been talking about making an 'un-official' GAF LS on Ragnarok. We're well aware that we'll be a minority but we figured we might as well, as there's a handful of GAF players either already there or wishing to join a 'EU timezone' server.
Riposte is aware of the fact we're going to set it up, so we'll probably add it to the OT, along with Sargatanas, Ultros and Durandal.
 
I'm on Ragnarok too, if only because all my spanish friends are there (I dont think my english would be fluent enough for joining anY english only LS).

It seemed like the less populated server when I did the transfer of my old character.

Is Ragnarok actually a server based in Europe? Or is it just another server in Canada?

Its in Canada too.
 
Don't leave us, Cappy. :(

I'm most likely staying with Ultros since my Legacy character probably wouldn't be able to keep up with the economy. I'm just concerned there won't be many EU players, so I'll end up running around empty fields because every one else is asleep.

I'll keep an eye on other EU-gaffers and see what they'll do.

That's my biggest fear. I don't want to be alone...I'm from Europe too.
 
Not to be discouraging but if you really want to play with other GAF members, I would highly recommend joining Ultros/Sargatanas over starting yet another group on another server. GAF guilds have a hard enough time maintaining membership as it is and EU guilds just don't last.
 
I wish my friends would make up their minds. First it was okay for Legacy. Now it's not. Then it's okay for Ultros, but now it's not (Ya know, GAF guilds. Ha!). Mehhhhh. At least they're hyped for the game so that's a plus. My fate is kinda determined where they want to go though server-wise.
