Yeah, I've got both English and Japanese/IME in the setup, but there is no EN / JP button pulldown to select them with.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Note that I turned off the other shit, like conversation method, toolbox, etc.
Yeah, that music is really nice, and tonally the opposite of the insanely overly-bombastic Chocobo theme.

Years from now this will be considered that one great underrated Square-Enix soundtrack everyone listens to the first time through youtube links on a forum.
EDIT: I can't quite remember it, but what is that short theme that pops up at the end of the video? I know it is from the game itself.

What quests are required ?
Agreed I would probably end up favouring the Goobbue just because the music is pretty relaxing.
Shepherd would be the class version.
SHP/WAR would be Beastmaster, while SHP/ACN would be Blue Mage.
I was thinking SHP/CNJ summoner.

I'm curious about this. I wonder if the pre 2.0 players will get to keep the mount after the quest is no longer available and after version 2.0 launches.

Maintenance on the 19th, hopefully this is 1.20b.

No, that would defeat the point of it.
They've said there will be exclusive rewards and things for people that play prior to 2.0. The Goobbue mount is one of those things.
Basically, instead of paying $25 for a mount after the relaunch, we're paying our subscription fee to get the rare shit.

Huh? That wouldn't be a very exclusive reward if they revoke it after 2.0 launches. I was asking if the current players get to keep the mount permanently. Their limited time wording is vague.
You get to keep the mount yea.
The Lambs of Dalamud got him.
He better be dead, because if he's playing SW:ToR...

Have they released patch notes for 1.20b?
No, expect they when maintenance start.
Hi Gaf, I'm not an avid poster, so excuse me for asking this out in the blue.
I am very curious as to buying this game tomorrow. I heard at launch it was pretty bad, but seeing as I am a huge Final Fantasy fan I cannot simply let the opinion take control. Should I purchase the game and play it? Is it still "bad"?

It's come a long way, it's actually playable now. . . I think Renta and some others had a better post for it some where in this thread.
It's not "great," but I think it's "worth playing" at the moment. Especially if you're just starting out. There's a fair amount of content now, and the combat is pretty fun, neither of which were the case at launch.
It's still steadily improving, and they're doing a great job of revamping the game. And if you play before 2.0 you'll get nice, exclusive bonus items like the Goobbue mount.
Thank you, the both of you. Now I will hunt out a copy tomorrow! But I may ask....
does this FF have the victory fanfare? Always loved the jingle.

As others have said, it's come a long way since launch. And really, anyone who's planning to play FFXIV when 2.0 comes out they should get the game now for dirt-cheap since 2.0 will be a free update to existing owners. Unless you want to get it on PS3.
I'm really enjoying the game though, actually came back to it from TOR.
I think the victory fanfare is in the game but you don't hear it when you level up. I remember in the alpha when someone leveled up you heard it and it could be anyone no matter if they were in the party or not. It was the only music you heard out in the world.
On dungeons and Primal yes.
Also on level up
You sure? I don't remember hearing it on level up anymore. Could be wrong though, I know it used to be on level up.
On dungeons and Primal yes.
Also on level up
Oh God yes. I am so looking forward to tomorrow! Day off of work too!
(Also, this will be my first MMO...very excited. I skipped on XI. :C) I also must know the classes. I cannot seem to find a link to all of the classes. Sorry. I am a noob. :x

Just make sure you pick Lindblum as server and you'll have a few gaffers and other nice people to help you.
For classes http://ffxiv.zam.com/wiki/Classes_(FFXIV)
Thank you. I am going to bed now, so I will purchase in the morning. It looks great as a game and mighty fun to play with friends.
Oh, and the link doesn't work, but I could google a bit more in the morning. Thank you all! C:

I wouldn't go that far. Last I saw he was playing 15 years old games and having a blast.

Why don't you install CM9 on your Touchpad. It's awesome.
Told you he was in a better place.
At least it's not ToR...
Fun Fact: X-Com was the first game I ever reviewed, way back in my days writing for the Dallas Morning News!
