It's what I did for me and the Mrs. Kind of mitigates the subscription fee a little for us if the game is so cheap.

gamepad is much better in this game imo, more mobility and can do many things at once.
It's better for your hands' health, too.
I have been playing with gamepad since the beginning, i have done everything in game and the reaction time i have can't be surpassed... you just need to get used to it and figure out how the targeting system works <3

Yup paying £50 for the PS4 version is ridiculous.
This. Changes. Everything.
ooh geez waaaaaaaat
I tank with controller. L2/R2+L1 cycles through enemies only.

And just like that my interest went to 0 in the PS4 version.
MMO's are one of very few games i prefer 60fps in, especially during boss/raids.

All this late game talk scares me a bit, what exactly happens at higher levels, I have never played an MMO before. The closest I have come to team tactics are the guildevels and those are really simple.
Anyway I have tried most every class, I am still wondering what I should start as. I kind of want to be a tank just so that joining parties is easier. Marauder seems to be the more exciting class to play as over warrior.
For damage dealers lancer is cool. I recently tried pugilist and it seems awesome. I like having things to do as I fight, the more input I have the better and this has different stances and lots of moving around the enemies. So is this class as fun as it seems?
For magic the damage dealing one, starts with a t seems pretty cool. Looks like that is the one you pick of you want to be unleashing gigantic area spells.
So I am still on the fence but now I have a better idea of how the classes play but I have no clue how they fare in later stages of the game.

you're playing a beta. a lot of things will change over time. the ps3 looked and ran very differently in beta.
Marauder and Warrior are pretty much the same class (Marauder level 30 --> Warrior), Warrior is more specialized for tanking and has a pretty neat system based on Wrath. I found these two a lot more enjoyable than playing Gladiator/Paladin.
Both the melee DPS classes (Dragoon and Monk) are really fun to play, I personally think they have the best animations in the game. And they're usually the ones that use the Limit Break during boss fights because of their single DPS attack.

Any way to invert the controller in this? I may just end up hooking up a mouse/keyboard.
in the character select screen on start up clicking the touchpad inverts the controls i believe.
When he mentioned that framerates, he was talking about the PS3 ver.

No. Not on any platform. The disc is really just a quick way to load the base game data... but you could always just download it anyway.

Tried to make an account through the beta app on ps4...bad idea. Never got a confirmation while doing the initial set up. So apparently that expires 1 hour. So now I cant use the same name that I wanted on a new account because it says its being used. I tried to "recover" the account on my PC but its giving my lots of errors. After a while it locked my out trying.
Fuck SE account management site.

There is very little difference other than aesthetic differences and which city-state you prefer. The gear they offer is only slightly different from each other. Probably the difference between them that is most visible is what chocobo barding they offer. So do want your GC gear and chocobo barding to be Red, Yellow, or Black in color?

Could it potentially matter depending on your FC? The whole system is really confusing.
Lol not many modern MMOs run at a perfect 60 even on the beefiest PCs

yup, same for me. never beaten an mmo before, i just get bored at level 15 usually, but this game has hooked me and i am on my 5th paid month.

It shouldn't as far as this current patch. I heard rumors of GC vs GC vs GC PVP down the road, but as far as it stands now a FC can have a combination of all the GCs with no issue.

Definitely red, but man I'm tired of that city. This also reminds me I'm not paid up anymore, so I should probably get around to doing that at some point. >_<
Order of the Twin Adder is mostly yellow, but it does have green as a secondary color. Not on the Chocobo barding, I'm sad to say.Green?
Which GC your FC is affiliated with doesn't affect your personal choice of GC in the slightest. Unless you want everyone in your FC to be color co-ordinated when riding their chocobos or something. As far as I can tell, your FC's GC affiliation only affects which city you go to to buy FC actions.
Started playing this today, now that I got some time for it.
I like it so far. The art and music are fantastic and the graphics are off the chart. I'm playing a Wildwood Elezen Archer. The gameplay feels pretty standard so far, though I did just start. I wish the tutorial was a bit more and I wish they hadn't just copy-pasted the PC UI to PS4. The game does feel kinda unweildly.
Any tips for a newbie?
Edit: Holy shit @ the text size. And you can't even increase the font size for NPC dialogue? Really??? SE please. Seriously, I beg you.

You can increase the size of any current window that's up by pressing R3, the right stick. Tap the right side of the touchpad to cycle to that window and press R3 to enlarge it. For some stuff (minimap, duty list, hotbars, hp, etc) you have to go into HUD settings to enlarge them. Under HUD settings just pick the element you want to make bigger and press R3 to enlarge it. You can also move stuff around here.
For NPC dialouge, go into virtual mouse mode by pressing R1 + L3 (or connect a mouse, I suppose...touchpad does not work for this though) and drag the top right corner of the log window (in the bottom left of the screen) to make it bigger. Then under log window settings (under character configuration I believe) set the font size to 20 and under "general" select NPC dialouge. Now you'll able to read the NPC dialogue at a bigger size in the log window.
This shouldn't be an issue after Monday though as they've said they are fixing the text size for release.

You can "upgrade" your PC copy to PS4 for free too.
You can upgrade your PS3 copy to PS4 it won't work with PC. If you own console and a PC copy they can be used together but you can't upgrade PC to PS4. If you have the PC CE tied to your account and get the PS4 version you will get the bonus items like the fat chocobo.
Well, right now on the beta, I tied my SE acct that has my Windows CE registered to it with my PSN acct on the PS4.
Wow. I'll be doing this then, I also want it available for all three platforms.
Either way, I'm pretty bummed out about this. I'm level 20, about to do the Ifrit dungeon I think. Been a hell of a ride and it's gonna be a tough wait to April.
Yeah I did Satasha last night and I want to get through the other dungeons and Ifrit hopefully tonight before it ends.
You need to switch your targeting filter. By pressing L1+any of the four face buttons, you can switch to different filters for what you can target. Defaults include an "allies" option that won't target visible enemies, but you can also freely customize these filters to screen out stuff like minions and pets.

Well you gotta buy the game. But whatever version you buy (PC, PS3, or PS4) you always get 30 days free. The free days stack too if you buy more than one version.

I'm hoping to get inside the Copperfield Mine dungeon before the beta concludes tonight. Probably won't happen cause I'll be preoccupied in the evening but you never know
