By default, you can Hold L2/R2 and tap L1 to tab between enemy targets only.

By default, you can Hold L2/R2 and tap L1 to tab between enemy targets only.

For that matter, you can hold L1 and use the dpad to move through the enemies listed on the enmity list. Particularly useful for tanking.

Alright, while we wait, what are some more tips for FF14 newbs?

 

[Grisby]

Excited to try this tomorrow (well, maybe, beta and all that) and start living up classic FF again.

Oh, and for anyone else who was wondering it seems you can only get the collectors edition from the Square site. I might do that if I really enjoy the art/music.

 

[SkoomaSuckinSwit]

You will need to know this if you plan on playing with controller.

Thank You!!

i wouldn't worry about race for min-maxing. it really won't matter, just go with whatever you prefer

Indeed, this chart is almost pointless.

Spoiler

But it is pretty!

I've been thinking about making a Lalafell Paladin, haha. I definitely want to roll a Paladin, but I'm not sure what race I want to go with. With a name like kittens, my first instinct is Miqo'te, but maybe not.

 

[Tunesmith]

Weird, can't update the US version while logged into my EU account (downloaded the US version prior to the EU stores updating). It doesn't push updates to it.

Re-downloading the EU version now to save some annoyance.

Cat is the Master Race.

I use this all the time, fantastic for crowds.

 

[cormack12]

Thanks to those who helped earlier, now got the beta on my PS4. For some weird reason it was sitting in my download list on the store and it hadn't got through to the PS4. Shut down PS4 properly, booted back into it and away it went!

I'm quite excited for this -first FF game

 

[djcatskratch]

Yes, I wonder which race I'm going to go with

 

[kittens]

Cat is the Master Race.

From the pictures I've seen the cat guys all have weird super model eyes. I want cute eyes like the cat ladies, or something more like the human eyes! I'll probably mess around with the character creator for an hour, haha.

Why are all these login and update screen so tiny on my 47" tv?

 

[Ricker]

Emergency maintenance lol...ok just for the hell of it,everyone on GAF is going to Ultros again this time around...?

Why are all these login and update screen so tiny on my 47" tv?

Yeah,there should be a full screen option once in game...

 

[Yankee Ruin X]

Why are all these login and update screen so tiny on my 47" tv?

I tried logging in via remote play on the vita and it was pretty much unreadable

 

[Ricker]

Wait...is it really at 12:00 A.M. PST...? shit that means 3 A.M....goddamnit,some of you where right...

 

[RK9039]

Is the PS4 beta live?

Come to Ultros, all of you can give me a 1000 Gils for the Free Company entrance fee. I will make sure the donations are placed very safely in the FC bank, only I can do this.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

[Jarate]

I'll get you guys in for 999gil.

 

[Man]

Probably old news but there's a 21.02.2014 updater live now (previous was 19.02.2014).

 

[SMK]

Oh man you guys weren't kidding. The launcher is TINY!

Pfft, I'm recreating Stars of Destiny when I log in. True GAF Heritage. No Usurper's to the Thrown.

Cool, thanks! I'll add this to the OP.

Spoiler

lol

 

[Gaz_RB]

So are they really letting us use the PS4 touchpad like a mouse? Cause that would be badass, and the first game to do so yet.

 

[RK9039]

These are my customers, I saw them first dammit!

New offer: 1001 Gil for entrance fee + 1 Firecracker each!! Now that's an offer no one can refuse, holy shit I'm good.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

isn't it ending at 3?

yay. im in now.

 

[NyMartin]

do I need another subscription other than plus for the beta?

I know the full game is a monthly subscription

 

[Gaz_RB]

Nope!

 

[Jarate]

guys just remember, you can buy 100K Gil for 25K {(100% Handwork Garauteed!)}

 

[Hellers]

IMO one of the best things about this game is the lack of need for alts.

 

[SoopaMan2K]

Man, it was hard for me to choose when making a Miqote because I wanted to min/max, but I fell in love with Sun Eyes and regret not picking Moon. The fangs on Moon are great too! I just wish all Miqote have the best of both(Fangs/Eyes).

 

[Hellers]

Just reactivated my PC account. Can't remember how to play at all

 

[Figboy79]

I spent ages trying to register last night before bed because Square's email shit is stupid, but finally got it set up, and now I'm just waiting for this weekend. I'm very intrigued by this game, as I've never played FFXI (I have an unopened copy I got from a friend sitting on my shelf).

If anything, my wife may be the main one playing the game, since she's at home 24/7, and has more time to play an MMO than I do.

 

[ReaperXL7]

I have a highlander monk waiting for me to jump back in. Hopefully this beta will be much smoother than the initial beta at launch was, I remember the melt downs well.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

So I'm in Australia but I use a US PSN account exclusively. I have to make a US Square-Enix account right in order to link it to my PSN account? Will there be any issues when paying for the subscription each month? Or can I buy pre-paid cards (which don't need to be shipped)? Is it best that I wait for a PS3 sale on FFXIV and then just do the transfer to the PS4 version?

Sorry for all the questions.

By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings!

You can buy crystals then use crystals to buy subs if you dont want to worry about se keeping your cc on file. the prepay cards are too expensive imo.

 

[Aeana]

Apparently, those who buy the game on Steam get the option to pay the sub with Steam wallet. And the option only shows up on Mogstation for those people. Seems kinda weird.

 

[Defunkled]

Ahaha, the launcher is hilariously small. What is this, 2002?

 

[suzu]

Make sure you're following the main scenario quests! The icon differs from normal ones.

Story quest:

(fiery ! icon)

Side quest:

(regular ! icon)

Also keep up with your class quests.

I'm not worried about SE having my CC, I'm worried that my Aussie CC won't work when trying to buy a US subscription.

Hmmmm... How much is Tier 5? I'm currently a Tier 4 which ends early next month. I probably won't re-sub until April for PS4 release.

 

[shwimpy]

Never played this before. Does each class have their own specific story?

its easy to follow.Quest tracking is superb in this game.

Yes.

 

[Dreamwriter]

Nobody min-maxes the race, it makes very little difference. Even buying the best gear isn't always important, as the game gives you good enough gear through questing for much of it.
