Congratulations, man!
...Are you going to work on another now?
They call them Relics, and they've said they will be upgradeable when the level cap is increased, etc.

Congrats! I love your pics as well!
They said they are retaining the quest so even if it's adjusted I don't think it will get easier. At least not until a lv cap increase.
As long as Paladins still dont get the short straw
EDIT: I think I need a new controller. My 360 wired controller's left stick drifts slightly off center much too often now, and the XIV PC controller that was on sale awhile ago...well while it works and feels great, it seemed to have odd crashing problems awhile back, not to mention weak rumble feedback.

Do I have a rude awakening come Ifrit and Garuda? They seem like hard fights.
Ifrit isnt once you get the plan down packed, but Garuda...well...lets just say her theme fits the tempo of the battle perfectly.
Whaaaaaat
Roughly 300+ raid runs later and I still don't have either... *gets a knife*.... I mean congrats. xD
Alright! Just checking in after a few days of getting into this game... I'm loving it! It's the most fun I've had in an MMO since I was into FFXI way back like a billion years ago (first two expansions era).
As suggested, I chose Sargatanas as my server, because it seems like a lot (or most) of you are playing there... is there a GAF linkshell that I can join? My player name is Chemo Castronovo and I am currently a level 33 Lancer / level 15 Pugilist.
At the moment, I'm trying to get my level high enough so I can solo Eye of the Dragon and unlock the Dragoon job... but, if there's anyone who wouldn't mind teaming up with my low level self for a moment so I could go ahead and get it out of the way, I'd really appreciate it. I'm currently hanging out near the Gates of Judgment where the quest takes place, grinding up on nearby enemies, hah.
Either way, a linkshell or a team-up to grab this job would be awesome, and much appreciated. Thanks in advance, if anyone can help me with either one!
--Edit--
Actually, just got the Dragoon job.

I shouldn't have let you come to the runs. Now you'll never show up for them.

Is something screwy with the Lodestone site? I haven't been able to log into it yesterday or today. After entering in my username and password it doesn't give me an error, it just asks for my username and password again.
Edit: Figured it out, I was putting in my email address instead of my username.

I had forgotten tomorrow was the deadline to get the goobbue. I spent all day grinding and got my goobbue. It's going to be fun showing off to PS3 players.
I only have one gripe with my goobbue. When riding the fov should be increased. This is ridiculous. I know you can go into first person view but I prefer 3rd person view.

Are Red Dot and NeoDot the old ones? I have Reddot zero and NeoBelieve
Also I've never introduced myself proper. Am Jojori Ashen
I subscribed today to check out the game for the first time since launch. I was disappointed to see that they haven't done anything to optimize the graphics yet -- I guess they're waiting for 2.0 for the major graphical overhaul. It just sucks that my computer can run most modern games at 60 FPS but I have to play FFXIV on a low resolution with medium-quality graphics and it STILL occasionally chugs along.

That's why they made a whole new engine for 2.0, later this week we should finally see gameplay from 2.0 and hopefully we get a date when the beta starts.

Just hit level 45 in THM last night. Do I need to earn my BLM job to be strong enough to finish all the GC quests? Any recommendations on what I can do (gear-wise or skill-wise) to prepare to beat these last couple quests? Almost all of my gear is stuff I've bought in the wards.
I am REALLY excited for 2.0. FFXI burned me out after a while (I never made much progress despite putting in a lot of time) and the later patches that made leveling faster and soloing more viable were sort of "too little, too late" for me, so I was anxious to see what Square-Enix could do with a brand-new game. Needless to say, FFXIV was messed up... although I was so excited to play it that I tried to ignore all the flaws.
Now that 2.0 is on the horizon, I'm getting excited again. When I played last night and saw the giant meteor in the sky, it was AWESOME.
I think I'm going to make a new character, because the main class I was playing at launch (Maruader) doesn't build up to an advanced job that I want to use (Warrior) and this could be my chance to redesign my character. I've heard that there are actually quests now and not just guildleves -- are there any guides that could get me started? My playtime is pretty limited so I don't want to wander aimlessly too much.
cant you just equip a weapon instead of making a whole new char to change jobs? maybe im being crazy here

When you start playing 2.0 you will have the chance to redesign your current character.
There are plenty of guides and unlike FFXI (when I was playing) every quest in FFXIV actually tells you on the map where you have to go next through the journal.
Here's a pretty good site for guides. http://ffxiv.zam.com/ Also don't be shy to ask the LS for help if you're on Sargatanas.
Yes all you have to do to switch class/job in FFXIV is to just equip another weapon.
I know about the switching weapons/jobs thing; I was just thinking about making a different character (new race and everything). If I'm going to be able to redo that completely in 2.0, then I'll probably just stick with my old character then.
Oh yeah, I wanted to ask about the music in Ul'dah and the surrounding desert. It's like some repetitive, annoying, festival music and I miss the original, calm music. Is there some kind of event going on right now, or is this just a bizarre change?

Might as well stick with your character and change race/sex in 2.0 if you want. I think (not sure) that you'll be able to change server then as well.
The annoying festival music will go away once the festival is done which should be today with the new patch.
BLM doesn't get as much over THM as some of the other classes/jobs, but you should still do this.
Without the spell Freeze, I think you may have a hard time putting out the damage expected of you while managing hate. And Convert will let you restore your MP so you can keep pumping that damage out, too.
And while BLM AF isn't great, there are a few decent pieces. While I haven't seen your gear, I would be surprised if you bought stuff better than AF?
...Also, bought? You should be asking the LS to make you things!
Anyway, if you see me on, talk to me about this stuff and we'll get you figured out.
That's The Wheel of Disaster, right?
You just need to get 3-4 other people for that one - shouldn't be too hard to get people in the LS to do it for you.
ugh, im a lvl 47whm and its really frickin hard to find a party willing to help me get HOLY, that quest is ofc impossible alone.
i guess no gaf linkshell is on Ragnarok, oh well

I haven't put a lot of effort into gear acquisition, I've just stuck to what they sell at the Thaumaturge's guild + what's in stock at the "auction house." I'm under the assumption that my gear is pretty bad.
Eh, I'm not usually one to ask for favors unless I need to. I guess it sounds like I'll need to.
Will do.
Was messing about with this on my htpc last night, and ended up dropping the resolution because the text was fairly difficult to read at 1920x1080. As a result, I could read the text a bit better, but it was a bummer to lose the clarity for the rest of the graphics.
However, it just occurred to me that it supports external fonts now. Does anyone happen to have any screenshots using other fonts on hand, or play like that regularly? I'd just test it myself, but I'm stuck at work for a few more hours.
If not, I'll just give it a shot later tonight myself.

We really need a NeoGAF -> XIV name translation list, or something... bugs me that I never know who I'm talking to with all of these questions.
Well, in most cases, the best gear is crafted and melded. But buying stuff from the THM guild? That's madness - that stuff is ridiculously overpriced compared to what's in the wards.
NPC prices on stuff like that is really there more to act as a price ceiling than a legitimate buying option, in my experience.
Yeah, yeah, you're too proud, blah blah blah... I've heard it all before.
I was the same way at first, but you will enjoy the game more if you engage the LS resources you have at your disposal.
FFXIV is much more of a team effort than XI was, and we have countless high-level crafters able and willing to help you out.
All this stuff you need right now to level and be competently geared? In the grand scheme of things, it's cheap and doesn't matter - you will be doing you and the LS a service if you save your money for when it does.
