Downloading it now, interested in seeing remote play. Will probably stick with the PC version, though.

You can do special attacks by holding the trigger and choosing one from your hot bar, that's the closest you can come to doing individual attacks. Most fights are constantly using special attacks , the basic "auto attack" is kind-of a backup in case you have no TP for your specials.

The story, characters, music and cutscenes are very Final Fantasy-like; the rest, yes, is a great WoW clone. The trick is the first couple hours is mostly tutorial. The story really kicks in at level 15 (as long as you have been doing the main storyline quests). Also, don't forget to do your class quests every 5 levels, aside from the new weapons you get as a reward the class quests also tell their own stories.

Have you tried logging into MogStation with your SE ID and password? You should be able to check/update your account information there.
The story is very final fantasy-ish so it's not really a shame no.

Yes, hit the start button, go to system tab, select and open HUD LAYOUT.
From here you will see a bunch of boxes, each box is a different element on the screen, you can select the name of the box you want to modify, from the box down menu, once you selected the element you want to modify, you can click the L analog to changes it sie, use the analog to move it's position on the screen and also, press triangle to toggle the element on or off.

Hud Options allow you to adjust individual sizes (60%, 80%, 100%, 120% and 140%) of each element.
It's a much better Final Fantasy than any of the XIII games.

Ugh, I hate this, why, why, why?
They will fix that by launch. Its not not a major thing that cant be fixed.
You'd almost think that the purpose of the beta is to identify and fix issues like this.

What? The game is unplayable right now... I'm not hating but it is a shame because it is a simple thing.
I can take screens to you see how bad it is.
I hope so but I was reading that PC users have the same issues with 1080p in HDTVs.
Assuming it's the same as it is on PC... When you're in game, you can adjust the size of the user interface by going into the HUD layout, selecting something, and clicking the right analog stick in.
There are five sizes.
Yoshida explicitly mentioned that they'd probably adjust the UI elements for remote play during this. So don't jump to conclusions or anything.

OMG guys, YOU CAN CHANGE THE FONT SIZE OF ALL THE TEXT IN THIS GAME.
You can make the text too damn big, along with everything on your screen. The UI is completely customizable!!!
It's PC level of customization, like you can place any element on the UI in literally anyplace on the screen and make it very big or small if you want.

Server 5 is full so what's the secondary GAF server?

Where?
Depends on where you are. Seems like you started in Gridania in which the Archer, Conjurer and Lancer class start out.
Edit: double post, sorry.

game looks good, very comparable to PC. comparable in too many ways like the text being too small, which is why I usually scale it to 720p when running it htpc to the TV. text is still more readable then pc for me though. I also don't know how to change the size of the chat window, I can adjust text size for chat but not the window.
texture shimmer is an isssue, seems worse than PC. shadows look good, lighting looks good though.
the LOD seems.... noticeable, more than PC which is a bad thing but it's OK.
frame rate appears rough but there are a lot of people on.

Finally unlocked the duty finder, if anyone wants to join add me: Kylar Stern - Server 4
You can't adjust the text of speech or the individual UI text. You can adjust the chat text in the log file options though (same place where you can remove the profanity filter or change text colours).
They will need to fix this though, (the text sizes), it's hard enough for people with good eyesight let alone people that have eye issues.
PS3 version didn't bomb, this won't either.

The reason you didn't see anyone with a sword is because the classes are locked to the starting regions at first. Gladiators are in Uldah and Marauders are in Limsa Lominsa. I don't agree with this design but it really isn't a big deal. The first 15 levels in this is basically teaching you everything like getting around, crafting, hunting log and all other basic stuff.
The game opens up at 15 as you will unlock the ability to use the airships which then will give you access to the other areas and from there you will see a mix of classes. At this point you will also unlock your first dungeon and from that point you will unlock more dungeons frequently and at this point you will have Guildhests unlocked.
As for the archer thing stick with because once you hit lvl 10 you will gain the ability to get another class. Not only this when you start getting other classes you can share abilities between them which is very helpful its probably the best thing about this game. The freedom to play what you want when you want really makes this game stand out .In no time you'll have all unlocked and plenty of options.
Stick with it there is alot of cool stuff to do and I know the beginning drags abit but when it opens up it becomes less about fetch quests and small things and more about dungeons and looting.
I'm surprised how good this game looks and runs in the beta. It certainly looks nicer than my PC.I think I will need to pick up a mouse and keyboard for this as I really only used the PS3 version for crafting and gathering. The only thing I'm not big on is the track pad stuff I mean its a nice option but it just doesn't feel good in my opinion.

Even on a PC, if you have to manually modify each UI element to make things readable people would be upset. This is also ignoring the problem that figuring out what to do is hard because of the tiny text.
This is just poor execution, and its going to hurt the game if Square-Enix expects people to pay a monthly fee. Hope they patch a sensible solution soon.

The trackpad needs a couple tweaks. Refining the "mouse" movement and they should add the ability to click in the trackpad button to select something.

I prefer the tap to pushing the pad. Feels a bit natural

I'm ok with the tapping too but at least add the option if people want to use it the other way
also...I am on server 5...Silvarius Grinneaux in Gridania (Archer)

I've been conditioned by years of MacBooking to click, this is weird.
Also, everyone is saying you can change the text size of the dialogue. How? The only font options I'm seeing is for the actual log box itself. Who cares about that? I need the actual dialogue text to be larger.

So I see, you can't change the size of the options and inventory and non-UI screens. But this being the beta, I'm sure quite a few people made their voices heard about the small text.
Well, the be honest, this same thing happens on a computer when you change the resolution from 720p to something higher, it seems like everything gets smaller and smaller.
I was able to change the size of a lot of things, even the chat window text, but the stuff like the character equip menu and the inventory and the pause menu are still small text.

Gonna try this later. Text was unreadable for me unless I got a few inches from my screen.
Game has a simple look (started in forest) but its very clean.
Just seeing Chocobos and Moogles with that title music was awesome. It's an mmo but I need to see more of it before making a decision on purchasing.
Framerate was iffy but not game breaking so far. Lotta peeps running around though. Wow, it's been so long since I've played a proper mmo.
