It's blind luck. Sorry dude
Yes, when you're register the PS4 version just select already have an account and input the details.
Japanese thing doesn't work, i went for a whole hour on two of them during japanese time and got nothing. work I got three of mine within 3 fates of logging in on a new day, but i'm certain it was just luck. A couple took me 6 or 7 hours each.
Make sure your inventory has open slots. I missed an item on one fate as I was full...
I think Ragnarok was the server EU gaf chose at launch. You might wanna double check how many members they have though. Ultros has nearly 500 members and has 48 on right at this moment, which is primetime for EU.
if you find yourself wanting to play on either of those at some point.
For me, it's just as trivial to move my PS4 to a different TV as one of those. My monitor doesn't have HDMI-in though so I've thought about buying a cheap sale copy of the PC client if I ever want to play on that though.
edit - maybe if you want the digital CE... that's more likely to go on sale on one of those two platforms before the "just released this week" PS4 version.
I already bought the PS4 CE
. Thanks, I will stick with the PS4 because I realized FFXIV only works on PC not Mac and I don't need the PS3 client really.Lumpy Onion

A couple of questions before I head out to get a PS4 and this...
I already have the PS3 version. Will I have to buy the physical disk of the PS4 version?
Was the small text size issue ever resolved? Or is it still the same as I heard about on the Beta?
Edit: NM I got it.

congrats on being the first in the fc
Sweet, thanks!
Edit: what does that mean for the character I had on PC though?? Or will my SE account just have two games registered under different platforms? (i.e. origin)

You can use your PC character on the PS4.

You can obtain them so long as you have a zenith weapon equipped.
Thanks! We had someone switch classes for the fight and they did a really great job all things considered. Really proud of our team getting it down in a short amount of time.
You got it. If you don't set the boss as the focus target, then you only get their animation as an indication for what's coming your way, because the only info you get when you're targeting a tank (who is targeting the boss), is the boss' health.

Gotta say, I haven't been this in love with an MMO since WoW back in 2004. Really enjoying pretty much everything about this game so far.
I've been needing a Final Fantasy fix for quite some time and this gives me that as well!

It's like they stole a song from the Katamari Damacy soundtrack.
Why are you always trying to stir stuff up?
I love(d) WoW. But I love(d) WoW for being WoW. To me this makes me feel the wonder I felt back in the days of EQ-launch up through Kunark. Between the bit more serious presentation combined with the "you want us to hold your hand? FUCK YOU!" approach to the complexity of the system. So much depth here it's ridiculous, whereas WoW is a pretty straight line from starting zone to end game (albeit a quite amazing and lush straight line). Definitely one of the first MMORPGs I've played in a long time where they said "we're going to take what works from other popular games (WoW) but then do our own thing as well"
I'd put DCUO in there also for blazing its own way, but have to say this is objectively a better game just due to more content with a much more fleshed out world and more capable game engine.
I really am blown away by this. Also blown away with them pulling off controller support so wonderfully while not skimping on any of the class/ability/spell complexities.

Now trying to think which class I want to use
Thanks for clarifying why I was in love with this game!
I feel the same way about it! Was weird looking at my minimap and forgetting that wasn't the WoW one.
what are you looking for in a class?

It will be interesting to see your opinion if/when you hit 50 and finish the campaign up.
oh.. is there a pro/con vs. grabbing another (unrelated) class for your character or starting a new character? I just realized that "hey, why would I level a Gladiator when I can just grab Gladiator on my CNJ" but then I was like "yeah... but new character/starter quests/aesthetic/whatever is always fun"
is there a general thought between one or the other?
is it a pretty standard end game? Wildly different end game? Yeah I'm just speaking about the early and now mid-game for now. But now you have me curious if it keeps its own identity at the end game or if it slinks into the modern end game standards of like every MMORPG out there.
for reference I've done a ton of raiding in WoW (Vanilla, Cata and MoP heroics) and raided hardmode launch SWTOR.

You have zero reason aside from endgame lockouts to have a secondary character instead of just doing the class. You can freely level up all classes and you'll get to do all the class quests.
The cons would be you'll be wasting time when related to your main class, but you can always switch on the fly so having multiple jobs at 50 is pretty fun.

Okay, I think I'm ready to bite. I'm hovering over the purchase button on the PS4 right now. Before I click X, I'd like to ask a few noob questions, and make sure I know what I need to know to begin playing
GAF is on Ultros on PS4, so that's what I'm joining. Will there be a free "clan (company?)," or are they all full up?
What class is the most beginner-friendly? I've never played an MMO other than GW2, which only requires a few skill inputs (6, i think), so it's going to be a rough transition to using over 16.
Lastly, are the CE bonuses worth it?
Thanks for being patient with me

but this is true of any game. It's why I have a Demon Hunter in D3 stuck at 40. Because why play her when I can grab paragon levels on my WD?
Thanks!!
There are multiple servers in the OP.. but yeah Ultros is pretty busy.. both the server the the FC.
Honestly I don't really think the bonuses are worth it. but I also don't have mounts yet. The fat chocobo definitely has charm, but $20 worth? I only have it because I bought the PS3 version on the PSN xmas sale a few months back.
I'd almost be more inclined to buy the physical release. That actually looks worth it.

lol, I was constantly smacking bombs until someone shouted I should leave them alone. There are no indications or whatever, and I had to smack them for explosive shards before.. so.. but its great fun anyway.
Why is the Leve quest music so awesome btw?

Not all classes are a waste though thanks to cross class skills. For example, getting Thaumaturge to level 26 is extremely important for healers since you get access to Swiftcast, same for Bards and Monks, you want 34 levels in Lancer to get access to Blood for Blood, and so on.but this is true of any game. It's why I have a Demon Hunter in D3 stuck at 40. Because why play her when I can grab paragon levels on my WD?
Thanks!!
Look up which cross class skills your job can use and work on that.

No, traits are class-specific.
Nah man. Enjoy the ride. It's awesome. I just like hearing opinions at the beginning and then at the "end." Mine, for example, changed a lot.
For example, I'm enjoying the hell out of ESO but I've only lvl 10. It will change 10 times over during my time with it. =)

Flash, Second Wind, Convalescence and Provoke are a must
The last skill is kind of whatever, but personally I'd take either Mantra or Featherfoot
Thanks!
I can't think of anything that isn't something that's been done before. You'll be going after lewts and progressing the story doing endgame stuff. Some of it is very difficult to clear without a static or people who have cleared it before, which can put some people off, and others can get bored by the grind because they don't want to do it (don't let anyone tell you there's "nothing to do" tho, there's LOTS to do, but one finds it fun/not fun depending on their tastes).
For example, my play days consist of the DF Roulettes for tomes (think WoW Daily Dungeons), gathering stuff to craft via Botany 2 star nodes + whatever else lower level might be selling, beastman dailies, and leveling other classes not at 50 via burning a few of my levels so they don't max out. Depending on my mood, I focus more on burning more leves, grinding more tomes for my next Animus book if I'm close (think JP/VP here), work on said book, help FC members with DF Primals/story, or do Coil if it's a raid night for my static (we really want to down Turn 6!).
There's a lot of things I'd be able to do if I had more classes at 50 or played more often as well, but I like to go more at my own pace.cause it really can be a grind and I don't want any particular aspect of it burning me out.

A little off-topic, but has anyone used the mumble iPhone app? How does it work? I have a few friends on the PS3 and I'm on the PS4 and I was wondering if we could chat on it?
