While a little disappointing, at least it's easy exp for that eventual Arcanist eh?

Can't make new characters on Legacy yet. Not until they feel comfortable with the server load I guess.

Guilds of this game, while linkshells are now just private chat rooms.

The NeoGAF linkshell lasted longer than FFXIV 1.0.
EDIT: What will be the name of the grand company?

Nope, only way to be eligible for anything was to have payed for a subscription pre2.0 (And even then, we didn't really get free stuff, just potential access to goobue mount)
If you were to buy it now, all you would get is early access.
Okay, so been playing the PS3 beta since it started this morning and I am so impressed.
It looks stunning and runs really smooth.
My only gripe is that the targeting system is botched.
It takes so long to cycle through and I'm constantly missing even the enemy right in front of me. Unless I'm doing something wrong, that's the only awful part of it so far.

Anyone ran an instance as a marauder? How's tanking? I'm level 13 and I'd like to try running a dungeon this weekend, and I'd like to hear some impressions.

Easy. The frontal cone attack should hold hate on a group as long as the dps are attacking your direct target.

I'm confused as to how some abilities are activated. For example this ability for Archer (Straight Shot) Key#2 has a dotted line around it. Sometimes it happens during a fight and other times it doesn't.

ok thanks!, is there a list somewhere for combos?

Look at your actions. It will say when something combos off another action in their description.
You can see all abilities at xivdb.com. But if you only care about archer, hit P and highlight your skills the ones that combo say they combo to another skill.
*edit* Seems archer doesnt say combo. Heavy shot has a chance to buff your next straight shot. When it procs the ability that is buffed gets the dotted line around it.
Heavy shot:
Additional Effect: 20% chance next Straight Shot will deal critical damage

ahh I see it now. thank you
Is there anyway to transfer for 1.0 character's server in Beta? I'm stuck on a JP server
Not at the moment. ):
He's wrong about cait sith though. :\
Well, he did actually acknowledge the correct (welsh/celtic?) pronunciation, didn't he?
He was actually wrong. It's Gaelic and it should be [kat ši:] or [kæt ši:] ("Cat Shee" in English phonetics). In Irish, "s" is like English "sh" and final "th" is like English "h" or zero. I don't blame him though; nobody knows everything.
What is this translator's name, BTW? I'm really liking their efforts in this game and want to play other stuff they've done.
Michael-Christopher Koji Fox is his name. He was the lead on FF11, which had a similar amount of care infused into its translation.
Thanks; it wasn't clear inthe video if he was the interviewer or the interviewee. I haven't played FF11 but have heard great things about its translation. He really does seem passionate about his craft; I'm leaning toward playing FF14 in English the entire time given how good the dialogue sounds. English-language translators and writers have really taken some daring steps in the past decade or so to inject local and dialectal differences into their writing which surpasses the Japanese original much of the time. A decade or so ago, when the Japanese side had tighter control of how the foreign language versions came out, translators could dare to write like this quite as easily. I'd love to see people who think in this way take over the English-to-Japanese translation of Western-produced games and spice up the Japanese dialogue.
...didn't he say that this was actually the correct way, but that for the purposes of FF, it was "Sith" (aka Dark Lord of the)?
At 3:47 to 4:00 he seems to imply that he thinks that "Sith" is the real Irish pronunciation; if so, he's wrong. He comes closest to the correct way when he reads it the Japanese way.
Given the fanbase, though, I'm sure people have already corrected him!

I'm having trouble figuring out where tasks are on the map... it's kind of weird or I'm just stupid.

The Marauder class isn't starting out so good for me, these quests are terrible. I'm level 2 already and don't see in sight any battle quests or kill anything yet. So much speak with, deliver this, and report to's.
You can be about 50% of the way to level 4 before you even step outside your starting city, from my experience. If you take every single quest you see, that is.
Alternately, if you head straight to your class headquarters, you can pick up a quest to kill nine monsters and then leave the city immediately to start battling things.
It's your choice, you know.

When you went to the marauders guild you should have gotten a battle quest from the guildmaster.
You missed something.
Most of the quests around town are designed to show you how to get places in town and introduce you to new things and give you a little background on the locals.

Those are quests to give you a better undertanding of the basic things in the game and the different places in the city. You can go to your guild (Marauder Guild) and get the first class quest and kill things if you want.

Some of the gear they give may be better for certain classes (at least that was the case on 1.0) but other than that, not really.

All true, but I was just expecting to have an experience like I did with all the other classes where some of my first quests were slaying stuff. Before I was even midway to lvl 2 I was getting slay quests in the other classes. Though you may be right and I missed something, because I was kinda rushing to finish all those quests instead of exploring.
My Final Class Fun Analysis List:
Archer > Marauder > Gladiator > Lancer > Puglist > Conjurer > Thaumaturge
So as some may know I've tried out every class on the beta and have been recording which ones were the funnest to me personally. I've reached lvl 8 with every class to make sure I could at least get 5 skills with each class to see which one was funnest to play around with. Archer and marauder have got to be the funnest classes I've used. The archer is so mobile, doesn't get interrupted with attacks, and because they can move around a lot I was killing lvl 12 enemies when i was lvl 6. Black mage I didn't like at all because the spells took too long to cast, I kept getting interrupted while casting spells because of the enemy, and I usually had to pull out all my arsenal to kill an enemy with empty MP half the time in multiple battle's.
I've played with every race to and I'll rank them as well
Miqote > Lalafell > Hyur > Roegadyn > Elezen
I really have no ranking for these except what I liked running around as the best. The Miqote have a very cool running animation, and I like the tail and ears. Lalafell's are just adorable and they look very different compared to everyone else. I also like how everyone looks down at your character when speaking to you. Elezen were way to tall at mid ranged height, and they are very stiff with their animations. They seem kinda like robots with the way they walk, run, and even carry their weapons.
If anybody wants to rank their favorite races and classes, then by all means go ahead. This is just my personal one.

I'm still a lv9 Thaumaturge, but I never experienced any of those things yet...
No enemy interrupted my casting as long as I stood still while charging. And about the MP, you're supposed to use Fire magic to deal the most damage, but pay attention to your MP. When you're almost out, swap the Fire aura with an Ice one, and you'll have full MP in less than 5 seconds.
