Not sure if this has been posted but this is quite amazing. You can really tell how passionate Yoshi-P is. :-(

I had one tank that died due to standing in a bomb circle. Out came the Topaz Carbuncle and the three of us left finished it.

Fat chance of bombing. Most people who log in want to keep playing. That is why feelings are hurt by overpopulated servers. It is obvious by the huge demand that this game doesn't suck at all.
Worse comes to worst I'll just throw up some parry and evasion skills and dragoon tank it. Fuck yo carby
Those feels. The passion he has is amazing. He's been wonderful regarding how he's handled feedback and desires from fans. Clearly, he's one of the shining stars at Square-Enix.

ehhh most mmos are like that to an extent. if the numbers are still good 3 months down the line is what is key.
Are FATE's soloable? Do they scale depending on how many guys are around?
Sunken Temple is the big change...it's a level 35 dungeon. That's when you have to put your big boy pants on and not just worry about the tank and spank that most dungeons and bosses have been.
The only issue I have right now about the game itself is I think SE made it too easy to hit cap. The game is just now launching today and there are already characters at level 50 with AF gear. I don't think I've ever been in an MMO where people are hitting cap so quickly. Even seasoned or professional teams need a week in most to blast to cap, but it's only really taken 4 days.

FFXIV just oozes Final Fantasy and the spirit that made the series great. Even though it's online, it legitimately feels like a Final Fantasy and IMHO is very deserved of a mainline numbered entry. More so than most of their recent offerings to say the least.
Maybe this is the start of a turnaround for Square; not getting to ahead of myself but between this, Lightning Returns (which actually looks quite good for what it is), FFXV and KH3 being announced, they're still showing a major focus on the hardcore/core gaming crowd that got them where they are. There's still a silver lining of hope for the company; hopefully they continue the momentum they're inevitably gaining from this.

Are you playing on Sarg or a new server?
On Sarg, people had lvl 50 characters with AF gear already. They just burned through the story missions.

Pretty much every MMO that comes out now has a huge opening rush. Everyone is looking for that WoW replacement. Having your game be unplayable, turning off character creation on servers preventing people from rolling with friends are a surefire way to bomb. I bet Star Wars: TOR thought it would be successful going by its first month too.
I heard they are scaled depending on number of people but I think they are very hard to solo.
Haha, I'm lagging behind a bit on the main quest due to fate farming. But yeah, reaching cap is pretty easy,especially when you can go 10 levels in 5 hours farming fates. I hope the end game lasts a bit, or those 3 month updates help.
How are they doing it? Just grinding with fate parties?

My lvl 36 Black Mage:
that clipping lol.
even the mount is like 'wtf is up with that?'
I can only judge based on their behavior so far, and their responses to situations on NA/EU vs JP servers points to them either not caring about the non-JP servers or being unable to affect any substantial work on the NA/EU side. Either one is ridiculous for a company trying to run an MMO available in all of those regions.

Has anyone who ordered the PS3 CE through Square/Digital RIver received it yet? Tracking on my order stopped last Friday.

And that was with the server kerfuffle going on.
Imagine what would've happened if there weren't any server issues lol.
Everyone hits 50 even quicker with decked out gear.
ARR GAF:- That's it? Where's the endgame content? Boring!!!! Unsubscribed.
And the next month no one else would be playing anymore. The drop off will be massive.
Rofl.
Well the game's philosphy was to get you to hit level 50 easily as a sort of a tutorial and Yoshida mentioned that the real game really begins only after that.

Worked for my 1.0 Onion Helm code, but I didn't end up getting anything other than that. Was kinda it'd give all the CE items but I guess not. Now I'm trying to decide if I care enough to pay (again!) for them.

I don't think FATEs scale. I hit a level 22 boss type FATE (as a conjurer) expecting to just join in the fun. Ended up being me and a THM doing a chunk of damage for 3-4 minutes (and towards the end of that period, barely surviving) before others finally came in to join the fight.
I did survive - and I had that THM to thank for it because at the end, I only had enough HP to cure myself once and had to wait for my MP to actually creep above 20 to cast another. If I was in real dire straits, he'd heal instead of attack. I think I managed to keep emnity for practically the whole fight

The guy that said people were getting 50 didn't say if he was on Legacy or a new server. Are people really getting AF gear and lvl 50 chars on new servers already? I just find that hard to believe...

maybe the idea is to get 50 on all classes?
Or are people already doing that lol.
I'm all for games with easy caps
/fulltimeemployeewoes
I kinda wish there are remote quest check-ins for like class missions. those tend to be the furthest away from the quest area.

Yeah, people have got Lv50 already and crazy gear, but these people probably haven't moved from the computer desk since Beta phase 4 started. Anyone can probably hit level 50 if they sacrifice work/social/family stuff.
For the rest of us, playing for 1-2 hours a day at most, the depth and potential in FFXIV is still dauntingly huge. I don't think I'll see everything this game has to offer for years. And then there'll be an expansion.

It's on Ultros...so a brand new server. Most of the ones we saw were FATE farming in Coerthas last night. Most people who are much higher level got their GC and then went FATE farming for xp. It's quite easy to get a lot of levels relatively fast just by running through a zone with a group slaughtering every FATE that pops.
I hope so too. Crystal Tower should offer a good challenge and it seems like the optional dungeons have been much harder than the story related ones. The next one was at level 38, but I haven't run it yet. PUGs at higher levels might not be a good idea unless you just need to fill and extra spot. Then again, you might get stuck with a member that either is under geared, doesn't work well with the party (lack of burst dmg in party like two SMN), or someone who doesn't know how to do their job. The last one will be worse since far too many new players can just FATE to 50 and never figure out how to properly perform their class/job in a group.
Edit:
Sorry, just updated.
Don't know about scaling but some are soloable and some aren't, some just takes time, usually people solo those miniboss ones with a chocobo healer when no one is around during beta.
Escort is probably out of the question because you need to protect the npc and usually there are like a crowd of mobs coming at you.

I've been trying to redeem my Game Activation Code, but I can't find the place to do it. My account has been credited with 14 free days since I'm a previous CE owner, but I caved in and bought the new CE. Anyone else having similar issues?
Lucky you. I've had to deal with afk healers, dps attacking whatever and running around and agroing shit we're not fighting. lol

I can't hold all these feels! I have nothing but the deepest admiration of Yoshi-P.
okay question
i have a 1.0 account with early access from a pre-order code. right now it says i have 14 standard days remaining.
once i get my game code it adds another 30 right? then if I add 180 days it all stacks right? so i should have 224 assuming i add it all today. Am I right on all this?
Trying to make sure I won't lose any gametime if I go ahead and top-up so I can access the subscriber veteran rewards

Is there a way to quickly bring up the map on the ps3? Such as a shortcut through the action bar? Pain to keep using the in-game cross menu bar through the start button.
Thanks

Wow. Didn't know FATEs gave so much exp.
GRRRRRRRR SQUARE. My GMG retail code that I got months ago doesnt work with the MOG Station. I entered it like a month ago to have beta access and entered it at http://na.square-enix.com site perfectly fine. Why did you have to switch systems....
Did you buy a realm reborn? If not then the 14 day is only what you get for free for buying 1.0

oh! yes, the ps4 copy of ARR, which is the code i'll be adding to my account today (hopefully). I get 30 days from that, just wondering if it all stacks or does that 14 days go away?
I don't know where you saw that but I am pretty sure thats wrong.
PS4 version is coming out next year.
Square bring up the man, I think.

I had to actively look around for the place as well. Found it on that mog station site on the first tab (account services)I think. Was add platform or add windows service. Just not the add new service account button.
About to log in to see if it worked, since the mog station account is only showing the JP server character I made when I was getting 3102'd and then deleted.

Is that the name of a specific fate?
Do we think these will be nerfed in the future? Ugh maybe I should have just done the warrior quest and finished my warrior to 50 (my mrd is 40).
You should have 2 codes, the one you entered for pre order access is not the retail code. GMG sent me a new email last night with both codes, they should be on your game page if not.
It's way faster than just running quests because as they clear, more spawn and many as you get into higher levels drop 10k for just a few minutes worth of work and you can kill hunt logs in the area or just kill mobs while you wait. Full Party and FC xp bonuses, along with a food bonus goes a long way.
Edit: Some of the Coerthas boss FATEs cap at about 27k.

Quick-map is just the Square button... press twice and then you can navigate with the R-stick, while you are still moving. That seems to be the best way so far for me.

how does one farm FATEs? Do they have a respawn timer or does something have to trigger?
