I wonder how the hard primal fights will be. Now that we have indicators for attacks and hopefully no lag I would think it may be abit easier. I mean Garuda was so very hard but we also had to use a strategy to skip phase 2 of the fight because the lag was almost certain death. Even though you could see her on the map and move it was so delayed you were already getting hit lol.
I didn't make it to any quest battles with new characters during beta... in Phase 4 I did the first quest battle with my lvl 32 Glad. It level synced me down to lvl 8. It was "easy", but I would expect that level 8 is considered pretty high for the story quest at that point. I'm assuming that if I got there at level 4 or 5 (or even lower) it would have been a bit different. I like the idea that people who have difficulty could level up high enough to make them "easy", as any traditional JRPG.
I'm waiting until after launch. I don't want to have to deal with that if there are login server issues.

Yep, for inexperienced players for sure. But really can't wait to try this out with GAF, should be pretty quick fun.
You can get 2 retainers for free from the retainer counter NPC in any of the three main cities after you progress in the main story line far enough (have to clear first 3 dungeons for story quests).
As said, yeah, but just to give you an idea of "long time" it's really not that long. At least in phase 3 beta, at level 50 you could fully spirit bind a set of level 48-50 gear in about 45 minutes of killing outdoor level 45-48 trash mobs non-stop. Then pause in a safe place to switch gear and turn your other stuff into materia, then resume. Battle classes have it really easy for making materia. Gatherers and especially crafters have it rougher due to how they earn exp.
Hey! Wondered where you were. Go check red dot forums, got some juicy info on there you will like!
I agree completely, it sucks all the fun out of the level up game when everything is just mindlessly easy -- its the worst thing about the modern MMO. There is nothing wrong with players failing again and again or being forced to plot out different strategies or seek the help of the community. That is how they become better players, and that is exactly what the level up portion of the game should be about.
At the least, I would like to see a difficulty slider (ala leves) or special hard mode objectives to quests that give bonus rewards. That way there ends up being something for everyone.
Mine finished in like 5 minutes, you probably got in too late and there's a few hundred thousand people downloading at the same time now.
Quick questions since I'm getting a bit confused.
1. People who pre-order ARR but does not have a legacy account still gets access to early access, right?
2. It doesn't matter what region of the game you buy, you can still select servers from all available regions once you get into the game, correct?

Just out of curiosity, do we know yet if the PS3 version is going to have trophies?
I thought Sony required it of all paid games, but we're days from release and there isn't a list out yet :/
Yes, and yes.

Thats the fight that taught me to be aware of my surrondings.

It has to, Sony mandates trophies.
There hasn't been a list because no one can access the full-game yet.
Trophy lists usually leak because games release early, games that don't require an internet connection to run, of which the servers aren't live yet

And also probably because they will have spoilers about endgame trophies

They might add last minute patches but no1 knows. Also game starts at 2am PST
Makes sense. Yoshi has kept the Great Labyrinth of Bahamut completely secret up until now. We, literally, have no idea what it looks like or what we'll find in there.

This game comes out but I don't know if I should start it or wait to register my key until I know I can play it. I have a CISSP test I have to study for. I plan on playing on Ultros. I just know I'll feel behind everyone if I don't play at the star. I know if I start this game it will affect me studying for the CISSP test though.

Can any1 comment on how easy it is to set up one-time password? I tried to download the app in square old website but it said that FF14 is unavailable, even though I already input the 20 digit code. Can some1 give me a link?
I second this. The app is free, and it will give you peace of mind on your account.
Also, thanks for the heads up about the patch everyone.
I would expect several more patches before the day is over..
I'm not sure that is true, I spirit bonded a lot of gear both whilst crafting and gathering in phase 4.
The only issue is that sacrificing stats because you want to spirtbond during crafting can be a bit of a double edged sword, but its probably best to spirtbond on mats and not finished items anyway.

It's a choice between the app or using the physical security token. I don't think you can have both active simultaneously. But yeah, either of them would definitely be advisable.
Whoops, why did I think it was 9am? This is going to ruin my weekend in a good way.
That's what I mean, plus you have to burn mats to get exp as crafter. Also, gear you wear for SB purposes won't be as good as your main crafting gear (like your HQ/materia stuff) meaning you significantly reduce your HQ chances on recipes that will give good exp. In gatherer's case, in addition to a similar gear situation you have to gather from level 50 nodes to make any decent exp which means you are very limited on what you can gather when you want to exp grind gathering and those items may not be very profitable.
Battle class doesn't really have to worry about this in the same way. You can shave off some kill time by wearing "real" gear when fighting, sure, but it's not a huge difference.

Correct
Edit: beaten like ifrit
You get the code, use it on the square enix website, that gives you a PSN code.
Use PSn code in the PS store or through account management. that will let you download the client to play on. Follow the account setup process for a SE account and login details.
