Theres a dat viewer thingie available here http://rapture.no-ip.org/
Can play sound effects/music and view textures. Takes a while to scan for the files but it works pretty well. I don't know where textures are stored though so i'm just scrolling through the (thousands of) files untill a texture pops up.

Think I found Hermes Boots
Not just Dex, for Armourer you can use Vit to influence your craft, remember these can be changed out between classes so it doesn't matter which you use, I guess you can mix and match to best suit your needs.
So for example you would switch the Armourer VIT skill with the Goldsmith DEX skill and it would have the same/similar effect.

Emotes and Signs
This feature allows players to use expressions, gestures, and signs to communicate with other players. The Emote & Signs menu is bound to the N key in the default keyboard setup, and can also be accessed by selecting the second icon from the right on the action bar.
Emotes and signs are broken down into: emotes, enemy signs, and ally signs.
Emotes
Emotes are a collection of expressions and gestures that can be used to convey the emotional state of your character. The emote list can be accessed by selecting the Emote tab from the Emotes & Signs window.
Enemy Signs
While in a party, players can express their various desires regarding monsters in the field. Players can suggest ways of attacking or slowing down specific enemies.
Enemy signs can only be used when you are participating in a levequest.
Selecting the Enemy Signs tab from the Emotes & Signs window will display the enemy signs list. Select the message you would like to convey to your party members while selecting a monster with your cursor and your enemy sign will be displayed over the monster's name.
Enemy signs can also be performed through text commands.
Ally Signs
While in a party, players can express various desires to other members of the party. Players can suggest use of a Battle Regimen and agree with other members' suggestions.
Selecting the Ally Signs tab from the Emotes & Signs window will display the ally signs list. Select the message you would like to convey to your party members and your ally sign will be displayed over your name.
Ally signs can also be performed with the sign0 to sign7 text commands.

Suggestions will be displayed based on the entered text.

You can display various categories to search by opening the dictionary and pressing the Tab key without having entered anything into the chat field.

* Select Blacklist under Social Lists on the main menu to display the blacklist window.
* Select a character name from the list to delete that character from your list. Select Add to add a new character to your list.
*You cannot register a character on your friend list to your blacklist. Likewise, you cannot register a character on your blacklist to your friend list.
OB testers don't get to use the beta site by the looks of it.

I don't think it's official, SE character figures have no clothing and are always ugly made from bad pvc, unless they cost $200.

My friend's EU account (invited for phase 2) has the FFXIV Beta active in the Services status.
My NA account made to use the phase 3 code is active until the 21st of September.
My 3 EU accounts that I used to apply for the beta directly with SE, say nothing about the beta, no emails yet either.

I don't think the physical level will affect them in any other way besides than being at the level cap will give you the most stat points to allocate on the specific craft stat.
So, has there been any information where one will be able to download the OB client? I really hope they don't go the Fileplanet route of OB were I need to purchase membership with Fileplanet to get in...
Probably would if so : (( I really need to play this to try out the Gladiator, Archer and the Conjurer, those are currently the classes I'm choosing between. Do we have any vibe of what could potentially be needed in a GAF guild? Like do we have an abundance of Conjurers? : P

someone on flickr wanted me to be their friend. So I check out their gallery and they have some pretty cool images of FFXIV edited with photoshop.

Just download and install the "Beta Client Downloader" in the OP, then download the "SquareEnix.rar" and UnRAR to C:\Users\*user*\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6 after installing the Beta but before updating. Then run the updater to get the rest of the updates.
For future reference, the directions are in the OP.
