Ah one more thing. Is it advisable to use my current service account (first option) or create a new one for this beta?

it may be that the cause is the fact that I have not renewed monthly?
I saw that my profile is associated with the PS4 is where my character on PC

Look at the mini-map, it shows quest markers that tells you the direction to go - green checkbox is a completed quest you can "turn in", and there are a couple little yellow markers for in-progress quest goals. If you see a large orange circle on your map, that's an area where the quest goals might be found in quests where you have to search for things.
You can also bring up your journal, highlight a quest, and click "map" to see where the quest goal is.

This first time setup; the anticipation!
Really looking forward to this. Wish we could use our regular characters on regular servers, but it'll be nice to play on console for a change. Can't wait to try mouse and keyboard, but I might force myself to get used to the controller with a new job so I can play relaxed. Maybe an ez mode class like Dragoon, lulz.
Can't wait to see how the visuals compare to PC on max and try remote play. It'll get me to actually level professions one day.

Anyone else have a problem with their square account, I keep getting told it doesn't exist even though I get emails from them and participated in the ps3 beta.
Thanks. Are the bsttles always auto? I know R2 allows me control, but can I shoot individual arrows too?

It keeps telling me my ID or password is incorrect. I even changed my password to make sure and it is still telling me it is wrong...

Played for a couple hours
Seemed kinda fun. A lot more engaging then I thought it would be.
I tried an Archer but I noticed a lotof archers and mages. Didn't see one single person swinging a sword when I played.
The music is beautiful and it looks really good for an MMO. I might keep on playing sometime tomorrow.
Think I might change my character though, since I'm not sure if the Archer thing was for me.

I was getting the "Please register the promotion code included with your package or download" error when trying to start the game but I found out what the problem was if it helps anyone.
It happens if you try to start up the game with an account that didn't download the game. The easy fix is just to add the game to that account through the Sony store; I used the website to add it to my account since I'm lazy.

Remote play was kinda betaish experiment. Somehow SE forgotted to map X & O buttons in western way (there was no option to change there settings from Vita ps button)
PS4 + DS4 X = accept, O = cancel
PS4 + Vita rp X = cancel, O = accept
Sadly couldnt take picture by using Vita screen capping. Tho took some FFXIV ARR beta Vita rp shots by camera. Text is very small, could use some kinda magnifying lense.
yeah i encountered the same problem.
Not to mention HOW SMALL the login area is on remote play

I made a new account to try and get around the sign in problem I was having and now it just says that they have sent me an email with a confirmation code.
There is no email...

Closest would be arcanist.

I played for about 5 hours straight once the beta started. Then in my "no sleep delirium" I pre-ordered the collector's edition.

My god the maps suck. So tough to find quests and so on. This is probably due to how small everything is.
Other than that though I'm enjoying it. An absolute ton to learn, but I think I'll eventually get the hang of it.
Only issue I have with these types of games (like DCUO) is not being able to fight the huge bosses as I can never find people to team up with. Hopefully being on GAF solves that.

So the text gets better when I get into the game right. The sign up was terribly small-
Dammit.Really hoping they adjust the text, even story text looks so small. Hard to read.
Game looks lovely though on PS4.

Well damn, still can't fix what seems to be wrong with my Beta. It doesn,t even give me the choice to create a new square enix account on the menus of the Beta. I can only click on the "I currently possess a square account" and when I do click it, my username is already in and it's suspended because of suspicious activity AND I cannot delete it.
Can,t get a password reset either from it since it seems my e-mail aint compatible with any account. ARG.

Remote play fighting, I didnt notice lag, atleast I didnt die (was fighting some bigger mob, class quest).
Heres random picture. Sadly the way those pics are taken is kinda stupid atm.
1. Take a screenshot
2. Distribute it to facebook (remember to share it only with you)
3. Copy the picture
4. Upload picture to net
5. Upload picture from net to here...
Yeah, so pic quality is not so great.
I must admit, it was fun to play with Vita. GF watching telly and Iam using Vita to play FFXIV:ARR beta. I might grab this game at summer. Vita opens so much possibilities to play this (at home, not using RP away from home). If you have Vita, try remote play, you prolly like it.
Just remember to change X & O buttons from settings.

I would probably choose to use your current account if that is the one you want to play on properly. It seems your account gets tied to your PSN ID so if you create a new account you won't be able to switch to your old one later down the line.
I made the foolish mistake of letting my missus play the beta on my PS3 while I played on PC and now her account is linked to my PSN account so I can not use my account on my PS4 unless I make a new PSN ID apparently.
I am currently updating the game at the min but I did choose to make a SE account in the hope that when I get to the creation screen I can just login with my SE ID and it will then unlink her account with my PSN ID and replace it with my SE ID so I will be able to use my main account. I also sent an email to SE to see if they can unlink it on their end, I have been told they can but it is a lengthy process.
Whoa, you ride a boat coming into Limsa? I had no idea. Started in Grid and Uldah before and it's the same cart ride,

What is a good m/kb for the PS4?

How do you decide what city to start in? Your character?
I'm french and on two.
It goes by the class you pick.
Conjurer, Archer, Lancer start in Gridania.
Gladiator, Thamaturge, Pugilist start in Ul'dah.
Arcanist and marauder start in Limsa.
Different cities have different background stories and slightly different quests for the first 15 levels or so. For Gridania you'll be running around forests for the first 15 levels, for ul'dah you'll be in a desert, for Limsa you are in a maritime/islands area (think the coasts of England or Scotland).
