Goldsmith (accessories)
Alchemist (weapons)
Weaver (armor)

Try to level all of the DoH classes if you can since they all benefit from each other.

With all the drops from dungeons and story quests, are Weaver and Goldsmith really so important? I Have all of them but I don't see me needing anything I make for myself other than potions.
 
I play on PS3 but I want to get this on my computer for better framerate during raids and stuff.

Downloaded the benchmark but it keeps saying I need directx 9. I have directx 11 windows 7.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
 
For those having trouble with the targeting:

When you hit Tab or the corresponsing button on the PS3 controller, it will target the left most target in your field of view.
If you want to target something infront of you without going through anything that is to your left, simply hit F1 or Up on the D-Pad (I think that's what it is mapped to) to target yourself, shift the camera to the point where your desired target is just slightly to the right of the center of your field of view (make sure there are no other targets between your center and the target) and hit Tab once more.

It sounds a little complicated but once you get the hang of it, it comes naturally and saves a lot of time.

Num0 targets what's in front of you.

Download and install Direct X 9. Its a seperate thing to 10 or 11.
 
No, Unicorn is different for sure.

Well, might turn mount music back on for Unicorn if I ever use it much.

I went with Alchemy as my main professions which I actively try to level. But I generally plan on raising all the DoH and DoL classes on the way. You need a lot of cross profession items anyway.
Could also go with weaver but you get so much gear on the way that you won't use it. Hi-Ether on the other hand can always come in handy..
All others I raise a bit on the go.

Alchemy is needed for the WHM relic weapon so it may be good to level it to 50 so you can craft one of the components and meld the material yourself. Botany is good for support for some items and crystals.

I'm planning on raising all of them as well, but WVR to 15 is supposed to be pretty good and having it capped will allow you to meld material to your gear as well.

Semi-Pro Tip for healers: Turn of auto-face in the settings if you haven't already..

Yeah...I should probably do that. I should probably do a lot of things to the control scheme...
 
50WHM, pretty sure I have the setting on. Why is it bad?

If you try to cast a regen while getting out of an ae (running away form boss) it will turn you around and you might run back towards the AE. Instant cast spells are really annoying with auto-face on and you do not need to face the target for any of our heals or spells.
It's at this point purely aesthetic (and annoying imo)

I am officially addicted to browsing GAF and fishing at the same time.

Multi monitor FTW.

Yup or for looking up strats if the whole group has not clue what to do ;)

I've never had a cast while running change my direction of travel...

Given that your spells get interrupted if your target moves too far left/right (but still in range), I thought facing your target to cast was important
 
is their any footage of PS3 combat? I vaguely remember the combat in the original PC version being vaguely like a FF rpg (although I could be wrong), whereas the screens of this new version make it look like a traditional MMO

also I had no idea there was going to be a PS4 version, is there any upgrade path from PS3 to PS4 or would you just have to buy it again?
 
So I started leveling miner to 5. Do I just mine nodes to level or...?

Just mine the points and go through the gathering log. You get a bonus amount of EXP for obtaining an item in your gathering log for the first time and EXP each time you obtain an item.

You get bonus EXP for each successive successful attempt at a point (resets if you miss or the attempts at a point run out). I believe they're:

5% for 2 in a row
10% for 3 in a row
20% (?) for 4 in a row

Best done in conjunction with crafting objectives in mind saving you gil :)
 
Man, the VA in this game.

Mad Snake? Mad Snaaaake? Answer meeeeeee!

The whole scene needed proper voice direction, but at least they had it in the game.
Raubahn rules!

The best part, however:

"RYDER??? This is Raging Bull. What news????"
 
Does anyone have a link to an up to date skill spreadsheet? I'm trying to determine what level I need to take each class in order to have access to all cross class abilities on all other classes.The most up to date I can find is Phase 3, and it's missing information on ACN/SMN/SCH.
 
Guh, after the flawless experience I had yesterday I was hoping today would be the same. Can barely even make it to the login screen now.
 
I just
rode the Airship for the first time with the FF main theme playing in the background.

Pretty much everything leading up to it, like the cutscenes, is phenomenal as well!

The feeling when you realize that you are actually visiting a full HD town with NPC's , other players and no Fal'Cie to be seen!
 
was this a 1.0 mount or something?? can't get it now?

Anyone else feel like they could increase mount speed just a smidge??

Gooboob is exclusive to legacy characters who hit 30 or so in 1.0. Their old chocobo got turned into a veteran chocobo too, if I remember right.
 
Hate to clutter this thread up with grumpiness, but Amazon, you cannot be serious:

In Transit : On Schedule
Expected delivery: Friday, September 13, 2013, by 8:00pm
Your package has left the carrier facility

Tracking Details:
September 4, 2013 06:19:00 AM Carlstadt NJ US Package has left the carrier facility

August 28, 2013 08:35:56 AM Carlstadt NJ US Package arrived at a carrier facility

August 27, 2013 12:29:18 AM Breinigsville PA US Package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier

Pre-ordered back on June 4th. This bogus carrier company "i-Parcel" sits on my package for seven days? I paid full international postage for this thing, Amazon.

(For the record, Amazon.jp deserves some serious props for how quickly they get stuff to me. Standard shipping always, and I've had stuff reach my mailbox 29 hours after placing my order. I live in Tokyo in a district with very easy-to-understand addresses, which helps a lot.)

Remote play overall might be a very good reason to pick up a Vita. Not kidding, I love being able to relax with handhelds.

Is the overflow linkshell welcome to non-GAF?

There was a really swell self-confessed lurker asking me if the FC had any spaces yet.
 
was tinkering with macros for gladiator... think i got something good going... but it did end up making the game 5x more boring lol.


really wish you could 'reset' sidequests for other classes. FATEs and leves are just not interesting... and dungeons need to give way more exp.
 
Woot, got to Lv.50 WAR last night! Going to take PLD up now for maximum tanking proficiency.

What is the endgame like? How many raids are there at the moment? Has anybody completed the hardest raid and gotten the highest possible tier gear yet?

So excited! :P
