Given the coming of Darnus Hard Mode and the appearance of the Twelve's stones, I'm not sure it's really the ending-ending, either...!
If it's available, the vast majority of the NeoGAF crew is on Sargatanas.

Yoshida said more voice acting then version 1 is coming and in all languages it provides localization for. But like version 1 it will only be used for specific instances where it would get the most use due to resource limitations (He says Voice work doubles the amount of work required for any specific content to get published so it would be used only for major set pieces). Guessing new Main line stories only. Would be nice if they added voice to some battles too like the new Ishgard stuff where NPC's make battle cries or something.
2.0 "Alpha" isn't till September, the actual release is tentatively scheduled for early 2013 with a simultaneous release on both PC and PS3. We haven't even seen an in motion video yet of 2.0 much less had it released lol.
Wow... I had no clue. Suddenly I feel short changed. Oh well. The game is fun so far, just seems very barren, I hardly see anyone running around in the starting zone.
Where did you start, and what server? I've noticed a lot more people in Ul'dah than Gridania or Limsa, at least on Sargatanas (where the gaf ls is).
I've seen 2.0 in motion, and it... looks like FFXIV in motion! Just with different textures and art, of course.
I said motion video, you saw an off server demo =P (Damn you and press privileges at E3!)
1 more week to Gamescon ; ; hope we get some new info toward the end of the week, early next week for 2.0. Was pretty surprised at no updates this morning.
My blog has some recent screenshots but had to resize them:

Just think I had shadows turned off in the last batch and never noticed. xD
I'm interested in this too, and the time works well for me, too. However, I don't think I have access to it yet, since I'm newly 25+. Any idea how much legwork is involved in getting to the point where I could go?

Thanks!

I'm really curious to see how the game will look after the launch of version 2.0.

You need to do a few of the initial Grand Company quests first, but I'm not sure how many. The quest you need to take up is Imperial Devices. If you've got a lot of Anima, it shouldn't be too hard to burn through the first few GC quests.
Cool, I'll do some reading and figure out what it'll take.
I'm sitting on like 80-90 anima right now, so I should hope that's enough...

I used up about 70 anima doing the first 3 or 4 quests of each company, but I forgot all about Return and probably could've cut that down by a lot. I'm not 100% on this, but I think you only have to do 1-2 quests for a single GC to be able to accept this quest.
Sounds about right, Toto-rak came out before people were forced enlist in a specific company. Think its the first 2 recruit quests and then imperial devices shows up. The full Grand Company enlist quest though... make sure you setup good home points and learn to love the airship, otherwise you are going to waste a ton of anima.
Wow those are some really great screenshots. I'm pretty sure I used to look at your FFXI shots way back when. Those were really great.
You have until 8/14 to hit level 20, which is when 1.23a hits and they remove the Goobbue mount.
It's certainly doable, but it'll be a bit of a grind.
Only level 20? Thought it was 30 :O

You hurt my feelings Jinko.

Side question:
Are any of the other old school linkshells still around, or did they all quit too?

It is 30.
Yeah, had to do 3, but 2 of those were literally just talking to the NPCs standing right there. So, I should be good to go for Toto-Rak.

Hmmm....
Is it hard to get?

From August 13 will be unavailable. The only thing is to be lv30 to get it from the Minstrel in La Noscea (just south of bloodshore, near the new settlement).
OMG, Star Onions, Kiroboshi, Fujiyama, Beacon (lolz jk)... OMG are having a really good run right now. I was having problems with this group I was running for relic, ended up replacing someone in OMG static and we have had an awesome few weeks. We are aiming to have our unfinished Relics tonight.

No, I don't think it's mandatory. It is 1,000 free GC seals, though.
Cool, I'll keep an eye out for you. We did a run through last night and completed the quest, but the boss we fought was a little too much for us. I think we'd probably be able to do it with a party of 3.
Is Level 10-30 possible in a weekend?!?

Theorically yes lol. You could make 2 lv in 1 hour until lv20 and then 1 lv in 1 hour until 30. If you do scenario quest, it'll boost in exp (and money).
Yea for sure. If you can't play until the weekend make sure you're logged out in your town room to get rested exp and eat food while leveling (+3% exp).
I started in Limsa. I hit level 14 last night (lancer). I'm still so new to everything there is a lot I do not understand about the game. For example: The guy at work said all I have to do is change my weapon to change jobs (lol I had no clue, felt sooo stupid). So now my lancer has the pugilists self heal and the Conj protect spell. Unfortunately I'm unable to check what server I'm on (I'm at work atm). Is there a way to server transfer if I picked the non-gaf server? :/
