There'll be a 20-40~ window of time where the queue window comes up for people trying to get in, so cancelling it will put you back in while it's still up. Let it hang when it comes up and you'll either get in or you won't, no other way.
I think a tip is if a loading screen comes up without the loading cog at the bottom right, you're not getting in.

I went all VIT till around lv34. now im putting them in STR.
This was my problem with the story. I can understand some filler in the beginning but it continues almost right to the end. Things are dire you must save us but first cook this stew and give it to the hungry guards.
I really wish they would have given the Gaius commanders their own story arcs to be honest. They were kind of interesting and should have been fleshed out more.
I am curious to see where they go with Bahamut and these mysterious Ascians that were revealed at the end. Funny thing is when I saw them all cloaked it reminded me of kingdom hearts lol.
Story wise though when it was good it was amazing.
I dunno what you guys are talking about, delivering tea cups to the troops outside Little Ala Mhigo has been a high point of the quests for me.
It's not the prettiest, but it works and is stable. If you can't play the PC version (like me!), it's a perfectly fine way to play the game.
Only half serious.

My folder is 9.11GB. Might need more for first time install though.
20GB?! I'm assuming that's how much content they plan to bring in all together with updates. AFAIK it's not even 10GB atm.

Its runs great besides a few FATEs with a billion other players.
haven't gotten to try it with spells and everything turned off so that might fix that problem.
And it actually looks and runs better than something like DCUO

I can't imagine this improving anytime soon as long as games in genre aim to maintain a multiplayer experience with many players or else it ends up with people calling it a glorified single-player game, "not a real MMO" etc.
You fight all three of them. The big guy and the female one you fight in their own castrums and you fight Nero right before Gaius. My issue was they were just so anticlimactic and all very easy. Maybe it was just because they are all 8 man fights but I never felt in danger during the fights but Gauis however lol
Hmm...
Well hopefully they arent completely finished, because it would suck to set up enemies of what could have been four fiends caliber, then just give them by the numbers battles

How come none of the usual MMO players on Twitch are playing this game. The only one I see playing it is Towelliee really.

Any tricks to getting past 1017 easier or is it still "spam 0"?
I dont think im gunna get to play tonight
There is no trick to it, it's all about persistence.
Also, JP servers just went down for some reason.
Yeah lol, that was so funny. He ends up sleeping under a small water fall.
Have you did Mercinne's quests yet in Central Shroud?
There was another person who I should be remembering....

So is zoning a game decision or due to limitation of maybe PS3? What I mean is going from say central shroud to eastern shows a load screen etc.

Yeah, but like.. FFXI's main scenario/expansion quests were not really like this. They were all pretty much pushing the story further. Sure, not every single quest, but most of them were pretty important. I'd say a fraction of that is happening here. I don't see why they didn't just have the main story quests be central plot-related things that just lead you to quest hubs like they do now. But all those "collect 3 worthless crystals" or "feed these guards" could have been just optional quests to do. *shrug*
Not a huge deal, but...
Also, omfg, the cutscene after Garuda.. Amazing.

As someone else asked:
(Post Titan-spoilers)
Do you ever rescue Minfilia? I miss her. ;(

Never played XI so I wouldnt know. What about the volume of quests etc, from what I've heard in XI it was all about grinding your face off with very little context? That might play a role. The quest based MMO is all about making people feel like they're doing something, hiding the monotony behind it I guess.
It's more of a quest text laugh rather than activities though, but her personality is great none the less.
Activity wise there's the bald guy near Highbridge, which happens more than one time throughout levelling, like 20 levels apart from what I've seen.There's the female miqotes at the oasis.
Still someone else who was great but it has slipped my mind.

Oh, FFXI was pretty much ALL grind except for the story quests. But still, they could have easily just had the main story quests be non-filler and them just lead you into quest hubs (still offering the same amount of quests, but you wouldn't feel like you were having to grind for the story. It'd be "optional."
Yes you rescue Minfilia and its actually a really cool mission with Biggs and Wedge.
That's all in gonna say about the story you really just gotta experience it as its really great and has such an old school FF feel.
I don't think I've done those yet.

It's almost sunday, nearly 24 hours to go!!
It probably wouldn't be enough context for most, but FFXI did provide context for all that grinding. You were out there representation you're nation and driving the beastmen forces back. Everyone remembers the conquest system right? I really wish they had expanded on this idea more in FFXIV.
