Can I start downloading the full client for next beta phase ?
Had to remove it after phase 2 ended.

Have they given a date for Beta 3 other than June?
Also glad to read that 1.0 CE owners get the new stuff for free.

Gonna grab the PS3 CE since I already have it for the PC.
I need it in my life...

So glad I got a new PS3 recently after my old phat died, 250 GB of space, I should have no problem with the game for a while. Going to use the PS3 as a second PC and dual box my accounts with it XD.

Wtf Square. You give us ARR for free, then release an awesome Collectors edition that actually looks worth the price?
Dat box art, book, soundtrack, everything *_*
Then again, i'll be happy with all the extra DLC for free...I guess. Still want that art book.
I wonder if they could pull an XI (sent beta testers full versions of the PS2 game with HDD), and send all purchasers of 1.0 CE a 2.0 CE?
EDIT: The sounds of Thanalan are awesome. As they should be.

Damnit. Wish I would have seen this before ordering from SE. Reaaally don't want to mess with Digital River again.
Maybe i'll wait and see if the PC version is listed then.
I was getting the PS3 version anyway, so I just cancelled my order from Digital River and told them to pound sand, then I ordered from Amazon. I'd wait. DR is that bad.
How easy is it to cancel the preorder from Digital River? I want the physical PC Collector's Edition, so I thought about pre-ordering it from them right now in case something weird happens and I can't get it from Amazon or Gamestop.
It took 5 minutes. Just followed a link in the confirmation email, input the last 5 digits of my card and plugged in my order number and there was an option to cancel. Put my reason (Not trusting DR) and it was done. Though with them I don't doubt that they'd screw it up, so be careful.

Only for the first month. Once the sub kicks in, the population will drop again.
Sounds about right. Or at least people go in the extra month then just drop because they get bored.
As long as there are constantly things to do/ story to progress/places to actually explore/battles that are pretty fun/rare equipment that isnt too much of a time sink...i'm good.
Honestly from what i've seen in the beta, that shouldnt be too much of a problem. Especially the exploration part. Truly looks like a Final Fantasy game now.
Looking at that video with the hair and cloth physics in play...shouldnt they be able to make actual mantles/capes/scarves visible equipment now?

Why is this shit so complicated? Goddamn. I'm petrified of pre-ordering something incorrectly. That's not exactly what they want me to feel.

This thread should clear things up a bit -

Thank goodness for this. They should really put something like this on the lodestone/official site.

Still not sure which one to get yet (i.e. PS3 CE or PC CE). If I'm gonna buy the entire game again for the physical items, I'd like to be able to just give the key for the base game to one of my friends, but I'm hearing that the in-game bonuses will be tied to that key...?
Another update on the lodestone, details broadcasting schedule for FFXIV on the new Square-enix community stream for E3 (but no times or dates are given when they will appear)
http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=8ca12c6bd54a0d09896600784069d891099022b3
3 events: 1 producer letter live entirely in Japanese, special community battle event and recap with english community managers, and lastly 1 "English" live producer letter with Fernehalwes (Translator), Yoshida and Bayohne.

From the looks of it, that explanation is killing my plan and is altogether very restrictive. I can't buy a PS3 CE and then both give myself the items and get my brother a PS3 account as there seems to be just one code. So it is a choice of "paying 80 dollars for a few items and some physical junk I don't want/maybe could resell" or "paying my brother an agreed amount so he can have an account with the items I want". That's also assuming I'll be able to play the PS3 version if the PS3 account is tied to his FFXIV one. This leaves me with the option of just saying "fuck it", having him buy his own cheap standard edition (50 whole dollars cheaper IIRC), and just getting over the pre-order/CE bonus stuff (and maybe the ability to play on PS3). Honestly, it is for the best, because I should know better than to want to gather up those extraneous collectables in a game of a type I don't even like. But admittedly, FF MMOs are a weak spot for me. I've shamelessly bought soundtracks for in-game furniture, although it was awesome furniture so no regrets.
There is the possibility this game will be another obscene bomb, though I hope it isn't, and I can just pick up my own CE for 30 bucks down the line. Alternatively, I could see this being another "WoW" situation where stupid little pets go on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
I think I should be fine on playing the PS3 if he makes his own email-based PS3 account and links his to that. The PS3 account I have now can then be linked to mine. The disc and console can then be shared. Am I right?

Man that is an awesome CE! Gonna be a tough decision on whether to get it or not. Spending that much on a game I already own is gonna be hard to justify, but maybe having a PS3 version as a back-up would be nice... Yes... That's what I need... A backup copy...
The new footage is awesome too (ODIN!). Looking forward to launch

If only the NDA was up

Just a reminder, the NDA will never be up officially for Alpha and phase 1-2 stuff, the reason it says partial NDA removal for phase 3 and 4 is they have explicitly mentioned you are still under NDA for previous beta/alpha phases.
Well that definitely cuts out alot of screenshots.
At any rate, here are two from the old days:

if i buy the PS3 version, do i get access to the PC version as well via client download?
Only for the first month. Once the sub kicks in, the population will drop again.
Haha yup.
From what I gather the pre-order items are a seperate code kind of like DLC, which I imagine is separate to the activation code, don't quote me on it tho lol.
I can't see how you can add two activation codes to an existing account, unless they change the account page.
Nope.
You have to buy them separately.
Scholar confirmed?
Hello all!
Fernehalwes here.
I know a lot of you guys have already seen the new box art (on sale August 27th, pre-order yours today), but thought you might be interested in how else it is being used. First, I found this massive tapestry on display in one of the dev team meeting areas:
Rumor has it that all of the gear shown here is actually in the game! Which would mean that bookish beauty in the mortar board on the far right is...!!!
Ahem! I also saw these sweet signed posters drying on the desk outside the director's booth:
Now tell me those wouldn't look good in any steakhouse, rumpus room, or dental clinic waiting area.
I would have signed them as well, but they ran out of room and it was either me or Art Director Akihiko Yoshida. I let the poor guy have it....this time.
