Don't say that. I need it. The waiting is killing me. I'd take anything related to FFXIV.

Weird enough, everything I've read has me believing we'll have to wait until actual release to change the race of our Legacy characters.
Alright guys. Pack it up. Final Fantasy is dead. Time to move to something else. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/07/final-fantasy-is-dead/
Early access or release, they're not sure yet. Definitely not phase 4, though.
Edit: found Hvinire's post regarding appearance change.

Someone somewhere always declares Final Fantasy dead after and right before any Final Fantasy release.
Final Fantasy is dead like PC gaming.

If Final Fantasy is already dead and ARR is still coming out, does that mean it's undead? I, for one, welcome our new zombie overlords.

Well it is REBORN!

If you're going to do this, don't bother taking launch day off unless you enjoy doing nothing while they are in emergency maintenance most of the day because of how crashed the servers are.

I just preordered the game from Amazon, going completely blind into this game. Never played XI or the original XIV, but I get tingly at the prospect of playing an MMO that's polished at launch, so I want to give this a full shot.
If I am interested in playing a tank whenever possible (with a preference toward multi-add tanking, if that makes any difference), which class should I look to be?

Days? No no no, I need money way too badly to be taking time off right now.
Are we really expecting the game to do that well sales wise ? (a second time round ?)
I'm sure if the servers are ok in phase 4 they should be ok on launch day, especially with early access.
Of course the first couple hours is still going to be hard to log in.

An axe-wielding tank sounds like a fun novelty. Now to choose a race that fits (or misfits) what an axe-wielding tank can do.
Yep Final Fantasy is dead because they made Lightnings breast bigger.
Lalafell is the only choice
Lalafell is the best fit for any class and don't let those cat people tell you otherwise.
Yeah, I learned not to do that for a MMO, usually launch has a few hiccups which will be really frustrating when you are using vacation days for it.
My secret plan is to get everyone to play something other than miqo'te so I can feel unique.
That's quite the mountain you have to climb :\

All the races have similar enough base stats that you can pick what you think looks the best. Which is of course cat people.
I'm surprised to read that—especially from Chris Kohler, who I always thought was a pretty reasonable guy.
I mean, I hadn't been particularly hopeful for the future of the series myself I guess—until recently. ARR feels like the sun's cresting the hillside—and after the impressive (even yet clearly alpha) gameplay reveal of FFXV, I look forward to basking in the warm glow of Final Fantasy yet again.
lol this was perfect
Yup, I took days off during Early access and after Launch, so hopefully they are ready
lol, you don't you get paid when you take a day(s) off ahead of time?
Agreed, as a longtime FFXI player, I'm well aware of update type days, and all the 'fun' they bring.
I'm paid hourly, so, no.

I'm paid hourly. I also have this amazing thing called vacation time which I accumulate when I work. I've got something like 150 hours saved up in my PTO (Paid Time Off) bank at the moment, but I'm still not going to waste it on an MMO launch.
Well, maybe I'll take a day off during launch week. Just one though.
Yeah, I booked off the week of the release, although I will be working most time during the beta and early access, but I still wanted some 10 days of doing nothing but playing right during launch.

I resubbed to SWTOR just to play SOMETHING while waiting for FF14. It led me to a question. I really liked Biochem in SWTOR. Anyone tried potion crafting?
Eh, I'm just passing the time by working, going on long relaxing bicycle rides, playing Dust: An Elysian Tail, (I am a Furry after all,) and maybe Fez afterward.
I wouldn't dream of starting into another MMO, JUST to take up a weeks worth of time. I'd sooner take up, DOTA. *shudder.*
Yes, it's called Alchemy.
For those wondering about PC specs and FFXIV, here's a handy little chart that displays where certain graphics cards are at on the benchmark.

Hmm, my 7870 OC Edition should perform fairly well, according to this chart.

Excellent. I didnt get into any crafting at all. Will check this out. Thanks
I've been missing the game more than I'd thought I would since P3 concluded, so I think I will. Also, I'm still above my maximum for paid leave this year, so I won't be able to accrue any further unless I burn some. Work is incredibly slow this time of year and the workplace is nearly empty, so I can't think of a better time. I suppose if there are any server issues I'll go work in the yard.
I was thinking of doing this with XI, but they don't pro rate the month, so if you resub on the 30th, you have to pay for the whole month...

The lurkers killed it, because it was working 15 min ago.
I think they just, tried erasing the black from around the original graphic, and missed a lot of stray pixels in each frame.
moogle really should've been a playable race
since the game is lacking a truly cute one
or at least a fighting companion like choco
