I wouldn't say that. MMORPGs have gameplay in character building and loot gathering. There is a lot of satisfaction watching your character grow.
Also you may not want to play with other players but just seeing other people and knowing there's a real person behind them is often enough to give someone a sense that the world is alive. Similar to seeing the ghosts of other players fading in and out in the Souls games.
I think it's completely reasonable to play a MMORPG as a solo-oriented player.
Don't let other people's lack of theory of mind affect your enjoyment!

Bah. My Halatai run is going to be tricky, then, since like 1/3 of my skills will be locked out lol. Thanks for the quick answer!
Also, as for this whole controller talk, I'm playing on PC but with a controller on my TV. It is glorious and oh so comfortable.

When you name your Chocobo does the name have to be unique?

Has anyone looked into housing or land prices? Does anyone know what they will cost?
It's very very different. Feels like 1.0 was an alpha build, early alpha.
Ya, I was being facetious. You definitely hit the nail on the head here.
There is something about playing in a "living" world that makes the game feel kind of special compared to a typical single player game, even if I'm just solo-questing.

is it just me or is it a bit hard to keep up with damage numbers while in combat? something with how numbers pop out, and the small font... it doesn't 'flow' out of you and enemies logically in a way that my brain clicks on whats happening.
its like the opposite of most rpgs where its all about damage number porn. This game, they try to keep it down low.
something about the format of the skill name + damage, is just weird. weird i say!
wonder if I can customize this stuff in the options... at least color code my attacks vs enemy attacks.

Had a decent run through Tam last night. I managed to get a single piece of loot, but it was something I couldn't use. =/ Maybe I'll do another run through Sastasha and see if I can't get something. This is redunkulous.
I focus less on numbers and more on health bars. It's pretty easy to gauge how much damage you are doing than just looking at numbers flying everywhere. Especially in FATEs.

It's for the best, IMO. Fully voiced MMOs run into traps when expanding content. Either keep doing it and it takes longer and costs more, or stop it and have a weird disconnect in future content. Or games like Age of Conan where the starter island is fully voiced and then it goes to almost nothing afterwards.
Better to have it only when it's necessary.
RAM limitations. Won't be an issue on the PS4 version.

Plus it keeps the file size down! I'm scared to update my PS3 HDD so I like small downloads and installs! (Still hasn't played MGS4 because theres no room on my drive).
Where do i go to get the Marauder class or whatever? I noticed i somehow got it but have no idea where or how to get back. I noticed i need to get it level 15 if i want to become a goon and since i am coming on level 30 on my lancer i wanna grind up to 15 real quick (been saving up my leve stuff)
At the Marauder guild in Limsa Lominsa upper deck.
Can't come soon enough...

Combining our forces will lead to the best outcome for the guild. EU GAF guilds have the worst track record. Even in a successful game like Guild Wars 2 with a thriving GAF guild and a large number of EU players, the EU branch deteriorated rather quickly.
Ultros seems to have a sizable international population (possibly due to multiple gaming communities being there) and that combined with NA players that are on different schedules (2nd/3rd shift, work from home, students, etc.) means that there will almost always be people to play with at all hours of the day. There are usually around 200 members online during prime time for either region. There is a decent amount of overlap, especially on the weekend.
There is no difference in the server location or latency, so if you're priority is to play with GAF, then Ultros is really the best choice for EU, Oceanic, and Asia region players on NeoGAF.
I want to add that it's nice to play and socialize with people from other countries too. That was one of the best things about FFXI.
The Armoire is only for special event/seasonal items and I'm pretty sure the items need to be at 100% condition before you can deposit them.
For additional item and gear storage, you need to finish the main scenario quest until you unlock retainers. This happens somewhere around level 20. You can have two retainers, each with 170 storage capacity (7 tabs), for a combined storage of 340 (14 tabs) with a separate storage tab on each retainer for crystals that can be stacked up to 9999 for each type.
They are located in the Coral Tower in Limsa Lominsa, at the north end of the Upper Decks.

Does doing a duty for a new class reset the exp gained if I already completed it with a different class?
And is the only way I can get shards for armorer/blacksmith is through botany and mining?

Gee, I really wish I could create a character and join a world.
I have a 5 day weekend and I wanted to jump into this big time.
You best bet is to check around midnight Est - 3 AM EST to see if they open up character creation. It seems "around" then is when they have opened up the NA servers in the past.
world is full try again later
Just got in queue try it now!
Well, I've given up on Ultros. Malboro has giving me practically zero problems since I made the switch to it. 3-days of no full servers or login errors, even when playing at like 9 PM EST. Probably eventually will transfer to Ultros when they sort out their server thing and make transfers available.
Because MMO's are fun even when not actively interacting with other people. You have a huge world to explore, the ability to walk everywhere, different classes (with supposedly different game-play mechanics) to enjoy. Plus thanks to match-making dungeon tools, grouping up to tackle content that requires groups is also possible for anti-social people or, to be more exact, people that don't feel the need to keep chatting all the time.

Voice acting is not really a deterrent to making content or it's pace. They generally record all that voice work in a day or two that is enough to cover months of content. Making the content itself is what takes the longest for the developers, the VA work is not what holds them back.
It's an extra expense more than anything which many devs are going to want to avoid.

Yeah, the party I attempted Sastash with yesterday said all of two words to each other while we were in there.

This happened to me. 3 of them were PS3 players without keyboards, somewhat understandable. The next party I had, we were talking the entire time. Sometimes, it's how it goes.

Yes and It'll fill em up.
Also if you already have a party of 4 then you can go in as ANY classes. Heck you can go in 4 DPS if you really wanted...
I think you'll see more of the PS3 people end up with keyboards as time goes on. I got the Logitech wireless that was on sale at Target when early access started and it's great. It definitely bridges the gap with the PC players.
I asked this last night but didn't get an answer. Is this possible?
There's another item, Shoes I think. or leggings.

I remember doing this in P3, so unless they took it away, it's definitely somewhere in the character configuration.
I don't think so. Just named mine after my dog and had no problems with "that name isn't available" even though I think the name is a common one.

Click on the gear in the lower right corner of the chat log. It's in there.
I could not buy the digital copy(PC) because I was away but I was in phase 4 and got a THM to level 8...I wonder if I grab the retail disc today let's say at Gamestop if it will let me install/patch the game and if I can continue playing my THM...?,otherwise I might just wait till everything settles down and grab the digital copy next week or whenever they start selling it again...

Question: If I buy the PS3 version (which I did), can anyone with a FFXIV account use it?
Right now a large group closing in on full party is the best for farming. You get a bump in xp from being in a group and access to limit breaks which can help big against boss FATEs. You also don't have to worry about doing a ton of damage yourself while in a FATE since you'll get some credit for the actions of your party. You still need to do some stuff (healing, damage) to get gold, but not nearly as much as you do if you run them solo.
If you do go solo, the best FATEs are the boss mobs because they have tons of hp and you can generally do enough to warrant gold.
I basically get a gold 90% of the time, as long as I join within the FATE bar being no more than like 1/3rd full. It does not seem the requirements are too high, but I guess it can depend on classes too.
