Any chance we could get a FATE with Leviathan? I mean if they want to go with classic FF characters, he seems like a good one.
Yes.Is it likely they will extend the 1st month trial given the server issues?
Naoki_Yoshida said:Login Issue Update
I know many of you are still affected by the World login and character creation restrictions, so I would like to give you all a brief update on the progress of the measures we are taking to alleviate this situation.
Current Server Status
To ensure as many players as possible can log in and create characters on existing servers, our development and operations teams are monitoring server load and population around the clock, placing and removing restrictions with even the slightest fluctuation in numbers in order to maintain near-full capacity on each World. We are still experiencing maximum concurrent connection numbers of over 230,000 users. This number, however, has taxed some of our instance servers, and is causing unexpected down time here, as well.
Scheduled Maintenance for Wednesday, September 4 (Japan Time)
The addition of new Worlds, as well as the adjustments to the duty finder servers, will be complete as of tomorrow. We will then enter our final internal testing phase of these features in preparation. If the results from these tests are favorable, we will conduct an extended all-World maintenance on Wednesday (Japan time). Once the new Worlds are implemented and the duty finder server load has been redistributed over smaller World server groups, we believe that many of the login issues that players are currently experiencing will clear.
When Worlds do finally reopen after the maintenance, we expect a rush of players trying to log back in. To prevent any further login issues, we will be using the utmost caution when restarting each World. Please understand that there may be some congestion at this time.
The development and operations teams are currently dedicating their full resources to alleviating the issues at hand and providing all of our players with a stable environment in which to experience the realm of Eorzea.
Free Trial Extension
To apologize to our loyal fans who may not have been able to login or create characters during early access and the days immediately following launch, the development and operations teams are currently considering providing all player accounts with an additional seven days to their free trials. This includes non-legacy players from 1.0, who will be given new seven-day free trials. Trial extensions will be awarded after the aforementioned server maintenance on Wednesday. Details on the trial extension, including the extension period, will be released in a separate post as soon as they have been solidified.
We thank our fans again for the overwhelming support you have shown us over the past week. The response to FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn has well exceeded our expectations, and unfortunately resulted in our inability to provide the service which we originally intended. We humbly ask for your continued patience as we work to alleviate the issues as we truly appreciate all of our fans. We are very sorry for the frustration that has resulted from these problems.

Even worse than that!Mmm so, I just got back from a day trip into Wyoming. Were the servers just as doomed as most of us expected?
Behemoth was sick, shame for all the clipping, i died twice because i couldn't even see him lol

Really need someone to rip those loading screen concept arts so I can have them loop as my wallpaper forever.
(Possible story spoilers from art book) Don't know if they're part of the story or not.Leviathan's in the art book so he'll certainly show up at some point. Shiva too.
Yes.
Is that where the servers are? Did you sabotage the servers?
I'm playing on PC + comfy couch. It is glorious.

So I'm finally listening to the OST that came with the Collector's Edition [since, you know...I CAN'T ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME!] and despite only being six tracks, they're pretty lengthy [even if the town themes basically loop twice].
You get:
1) Gridania Town Theme
2) Gridania Field/Outside Theme
3) Limsa Lominsa Town Theme
4) Limsa Lominsa Field/Outside Theme
5) Ul'dahn Town Theme
6) Ul'dahn Field/Outside Theme
It's not too bad. It will have to suffice until I they release a full proper OST which I will promptly pre-order.
Banging my head against the wall. Was doing the 4th dungeon, get to the final boss...
Cinematic plays.
When the cinematic is over, I'm outside the boss room, everyone else has been fighting the entire time, and I'm locked out. They wipe, tank quits, everyone tells at me. Fuuuuuck off.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGEEEEE

Strange...its supposed to lock the arena until everyone is finished.
I don't think they do this for boss fight cut scenes, only for the beginning of the dungeon.
Those are nice, but what I'm after is the concept art that displays during the loading screens. They've all gotta be in there somewhere...
Unable to obtain world list...
guess I'm not playing the 1017 game tonight
Where are Ixali Deftalon? Hunting Log says Alder Springs but I don't see any.
Damn, after playing for like.... 8 hours today... I finally got booted.
Think I'm screwed now.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. My game crashed when I plugged in my phone to charge, now I can't get back in. D:
Yeah I think I'll hold off as couple more weeks...
Finally White Mage
I'm slaying
We all thought it would get better after Early Access, but it seems it just got worse...
