Crazy, utter bullshit speculation: Because Thanalan employs train tracks and I've noticed a bunch of undead enemies, its second primal will end up being Doomtrain. (It is certainly fan-servicey enough for this game...)

...¯\_(ツ)_/¯



Anyway, for fun: OT subtitle names?

Anyone got an extra PS3 code they're not using? It's almost over but I'd still like to give my friend a shot at it.

He was into FFXI way more than I was and did endgame.
 
Can anyone help me get this damn thing downloaded? This horrible site they call acct management isn't letting me logon when I try the download link and it won't work for the official forums either. If this is what to expect come release, I'm not even bothering and I already have a code I never used from pre-ARR.

For the record: I can login with my SE account on the main access page, but every time I try to logon to the beta-specific links for the forum or download link, it will NOT take my password, even though it works elsewhere. My beta key was accepted. This is pretty frustrating.

Maybe I'm just shit at the game but some of these quests are horribly imbalanced. Or at least they are for Conjurers.

Stuck on both "To Guard a Guardian" and "Trial By Water".

I'm level 15 and I just keep getting my ass handed to me and I don't get why.

Everytime I die I quit the game in frustration.

You may or may not have just gotten a pm with the link.

I don't remember which quest to guard a guardian is, but for Trial By Water all you need to do is heal the NPCs. You can toss out an aero or something on the mobs but if you try and kill them yourself you will likely just run out of mp.

I think this has come up a lot before - one page is asking for your email address, the other is asking for your username. Yes, it's stupid, but you might want to double-check that.

If it makes you feel better, that is also the first thing I thought when I saw train tracks. Fuck yeah suplexing a doomtrain.

Ah thanks man. I'll try it out sometime.

I'm trying not to sink too much time into the game because I know it'll all be wiped :/
 
Nice...

How do I get from one major city to another? I've been to the airship area but they don't explain how to get a pass.

When you get to a certain point in the main storyline missions they send you to the airship landing -- after you finish that you have your airship pass.

I guess i could mess around with pugilist for awhile. Unless people will still be messing with the dungeons all the way till close.

I guess I shouldn't be avoiding the main quest line then. Thanks for the answer!


Also, the instanced battle group stuff is kinda fun, do they eventually run into dungeon like instances or are they all of similar length as the first one?

Have they announced any plans on improving the inventory system? Just greying out equipment that can not be equipped and providing a way to sort gear by level would help a lot.

Is there a place I can look up quests that are available for the beta? I am just trying to fly through the main story line quests and would like a guide for them.

There are dungeons too -- another reason to do the main storyline since it brings you to a dungeon :)!

There was a sort and auto stack option in one of the menus, but it's greyed out like timestamps. (Almost positive, but not online)

Where did you find that info? I saw someone in Ul'dah shouting what appeared to be a copy/paste, but when I went to the forums there was nothing in the dev tracker :(

Japanese side rep Triairy said there will be another next week, we already knew this though because FFXIV niconico live letter is next Sunday anyway and it said live game play of phase 3 was the main focus.

Hm, I wasn't aware of that but alrighty then!
 
Just discovered that for whatever reason I've received 2 invites to the beta - 1 to each of the email accounts I have.

So I have a spare one - might be EU only.

This is Jeuxonline's EN trans of the interview they did with Yoshida at J-Expo.

Things to take home from it: Limit Breaks aren't changing and there are no plans for giving unique Limit Breaks to each class; the reasoning behind this is to eliminate favouritism of classes when it comes to content. (I personally think that although they're taking a step in the right direction, it's kind of taking steps back too in removing possible content)

Also Lightning is going to fit in the storyline some how, which is downright stupid. It seems he contradicted himself in the interview and the interviewee picked up on it with a question in re. to Lightning's appearance. To be honest I'm starting to dislike a lot of the decisions they're making, half of them seem willy-nilly.

A shame they don't use things from FFVI instead since we already see magitek in use. I mean hell, a guildhest challenge to battle good'ol Kefka would be cool. But eh. Lightning. What's their damn obsession with that woman.

Yeah, I'm sad to hear that they're committed to the current Limit Break system. I def don't agree with his criticism of an individual limit break. If a Paladins LB is so good that he's required for end game content then thats just bad design. Its hard to believe they can't find a better place between fun and balance.

I'm not sure what he was saying about the 2.5 GCD, seems like a bad translation or maybe he misunderstood the comment?

Overall, I'm pleased though and I'm already looking forward to 2.1 lol
