Apparently doesn't work if you're in a dungeon. Double-check that you're using first & last name, and you might need them properly capitalized.
Think I'm done with this phase, I did Sastasha and it was fairly decent, but for the most part I'm not going to waste to much time on story and progress when its going to get wiped in a few weeks.
Think I'll play around with gathering, crafting and materia for the remainder of phase 3.
Has anyone else noticed their Reindeer outfit is missing
?

About the enemy interruption that only happened before battle's for me. I would cast my first spell on the enemy and the enemy would usually run past me, or I run too far from me and I end up getting interrupted. I didn't know about the fire magic but I just kept casting spells until I finally saw that one spell did the most damage to a certain enemy. I guess casting random spells made my MP go down fast.
You need to learn the Astral / Umbral system and use Transpose. You should never run out of MP. Also, the interruptions were annoying in Phase 2 but I don't see how it can a problem in Phase 3 since they're almost gone. Just don't move when you cast and avoid casted spells from ennemies and you should never be interrupted.
Wait; is that after we've created a character, or just one single time before the game goes live?
The Mrs. and were planning to have two separate characters, because we have separate tastes
she wants an effeminate-looking prettyboy Elezen with purple hair
One time and I think it may only be for 1.x characters.
That was in 1.0. =]
That tells you how much i paid attention in 1.0

I find it hard to do so because at High levels it is more about taste and pace. But THM/BLM and LNC/DRG are certainly much more fun endgame because they devastate certain creatures. And the high end BLM spells are always fun to watch.

Legacy servers (or Sargatanas) is kinda sad compared to fresh servers. I mean in the amount of people, let's hope it fills later.
Is there a FC company on Sargatanas?.

Picking a class while importing a 1.0 character, does that just determine your starting city and gear? Do you not get anything from 1.0 during beta?

Iirc the class will only be available at launch not before.
dude... as thm you're supposed to use the transpose, if you ran out of mana as thm you're doing it wrong
i was lnc in beta 2 and thm in this beta, thm is definitely more fun
What are the XP options when leveling other war and magic classes? How much harder will it be to level them to cap without the main story XP?
I just found out myself. It's saved on your computer in your documents/my games/FFXIVARR folder. The files look like FFXIV_CHARA_BETA01.dat,FFXIV_CHARA_BETA02.dat, and so on.

This is my personal list so personally I found it not fun to play. I'm just not a magic person and really dislike standing still casting magic. I tried the class out again because of what ppl told me but still found it not fun. I kept my MP up and I was dealing more damage but just still didn't like it. I still believe personally that white mage is funner only because I like buffing up the other players and healing them, and the spells do enough damage to enemy's that it's bearable.
I'm more of a mobile up close and personal player which is probably why I don't enjoy the class. I like archer because I'm always moving and dishing out damage and putting status effects on the enemies. Gladiator and Marauder both tear the enemy to pieces without barely trying and can be quite tanky with the HP too.
With a game like this with good controller support I just don't like not moving around a lot. It's just my personal pet peeve with the class so to each their own.

Something similar to WoW's arena will be available in Phase 4 while something similar to DaoC's RvR will be available in patch 2.3 (YoshiP was a huge fan of that game).
Frankly I'm super excited about the pvp, although I'm not sure how balanced everything will be.

So, if we bring back our old character is the world permanent? Everything now goes into the real game when it comes out right?
Also, I thought we were able to redesign our old characters if we wanted to...

No, no progress is being saved until Phase 4, which won't be until shortly before the retail version of the game launches.
And when the retail game is out you'll be able to redesign your character, yes.

So, no way to take my old character onto the GAF server at this time then?
Either play with my old character or reroll on GAF server?

Has anyone been able to make a new character on the Legacy servers yet? Seems to be restricted still... I have a feeling it might be like that until next week.
Also a shame there doesn't seem to be a way to take screenshots on PS3 yet... or did someone figure something out?

Yeah, Legacy characters won't be allowed to migrate off of Legacy servers for like 6 months after launch. But you can transfer to another Legacy server.
If you're on Sargatanas you can always play with us! Or transfer there if not.

How would I transfer my Legacy character there? I didn't see any option for it.

My character is looking like she just got her outfit straight out of a 90s comic book.
Someone either in the game or on here said that they're taking transfer applications on the official site somewhere, I think?
Anyone know?
Edit: Found it!

Kinda overwhelming having all your skills at once again, not to mention setting every thing on the cross hotbar. It does help you to memorize what action does what though. Think im going to roll with Paladin for tank and Monk for damage atm, especially since changing forms is pretty fun.

FF12 enemy, would be nice if we got the Hunts system from FF12 as well.

I don't think the hunting log is the same as Hunts unless they changed it from previous beta phases.
They've made it sound like it could go more in that direction later, with big boss-like monsters instead of lots of little fodder ones.

I do hope that's the case the Hunts were one of the best things about FF12.

so open beta starts next weekend? (phase 4) I read that somewhere on here...
No, open beta starts in August.
Next week is Round 3 of Phase 3, which will have stress testing on the Duty Finder.
Found this in the other thread, everyone with characters from before Dalamud, check your necks:
Better not have to complete a focus...
I'm not a fan, so I'm quite happy about /lmark off.
