Finally made it in, so i'm an extremely green level 1 player. The character name is Peangelus Curiostos, and my PSN ID is the same as my GAF user name, the server is Ultros and i have the PS4 version. I'll go now to check out how to join the GAF clan. If you see me wandering around, don't forget to give me a hand.

Summoned my first pet and all those buttons appeared, how do i move the lot to the bit below?

moved it down but as far as i can see the only way i can access that bar is with the ps4 touchpad, is there a better way to deal with the pet bar?
Why not make a new character? I got up to lvl 9 but started over on Ultros
I did my first dungeon last night! I was nervous because watching the videos makes it look so overwhelming, but I picked up on my role quickly and had a great time. I did the duty roulette right after and got the same dungeon; my second pass was even better because the tank was much better at his job than my first pass. I got two commendations which made me feel special inside.
Is it possible to instead of using the duty finder, send out a general invite to the FC for my next dungeon so I'm playing with GAF? If so, how? No one in the dungeon said a word the whole time when playing with strangers.

God, this atma shit reminds me of trying to become a Jedi in Star Wars Galaxies.

dealt with it, went into options turned off that bar being displayed, when to ctions and traits put all pet actions in its own hotbar. Not perfect, but not cluttering up my screen with a hard to access menu.

Howdy fellows.
Decided to take the plunge and purchased the PS4 version after hearing generally positive responses on the game so far. Last MMO I really got into was WoW around Cataclysm so nice to see some ideas were lifted into this one.
Looking forward to exploring the world to see what there is and how it looks on the system. Hearing that old familiar theme at the beginning did bring a smile to my face and surprised when I saw the Magitek mounts in screenshots.
I managed to get on Ultros so hopefully I can join you fellows in adventuring once I send the requests.
As far as learning the ropes go I have a maurader, pugilist, and archer since I figured DPS would make that easier. Just not sure which one will end up being my main yet although the pugilist and eventually the monk does sound fun. Playing on the DS4 controller so i'm a bit intimidated to create a tank character at first.
Suspect an archer though would make learning bosses easier as I go through since I would not be worried about being beaten to death as much. lol

I guess I was lucky. I did the dungeon right away, and health never dropped below half. Paired with a good Healer and Tank I guess. Got a commendation there also. I play as a Lancer and generally flank enemies the Tank has drawn, using combos. And using Leg Sweep whenever an AoE would be charged.

Levi bow acquired, all I need is the WHM and SMN book and I can never bother with it again.
that mirror though
yeah i probably will. i'm up to lvl 14 now and I'm trying to get to try out a dungeon before I do though

Never never never. I dealt with horrible drop rates in XII, not gonna bother here.

Archer/Bard is probably one of the easiest roles since you can move and shoot at the same time. The only real catch is you end up being a support role end game which is DPS + buffs with your songs and whatnot.

Yeah.. I saw that. Back when I started creating my character the page was still saying it's open. But now it's closed. Guess I just missed it. lol But I don't really mind, I'll wait.
Don't want to create my character on another server. Not a fan of paying for a transfer.
Thanks.
I had to delete a ton of games to make room for it on the PS3 but that worked.
Here's the high-level flow:
1) Download and play the PS3 version. Sign into your account and log in with one of your characters.
2) Sign into the square "mog station" account management site. Select the new option to upgrade from PS3 --> PS4. This will give you a PSN code that you can now redeem on the PSN store for the PS4 copy of the game. You will no longer be able to play the PS3 copy once this is done.

I just received the invite for the GAF company, but can't accept it, the command is red-ish and the game says that I still cannot access that option. Do I need to be a specific level or finish a specific quest in order to access the free company tab?
A friendly reminder to all new players. If you're new to a particular type of group content, then speak up! Nobody minds helping someone who is new, but everyone minds it if you wipe our Garuda HM party twice over because you're too stupid, scared, or selfish to let us know ahead of time you're new to tanking. 
support by doing max dps

Healing EX Levi is pretty easy...I was an idiot and got like...14 stacks but once Tiv explained the mechanic again, I was able to avoid that.

Even though I whole-heartedly agree with people speaking up, it is sadly not true that "nobody minds helping someone who is new," because a lot of people will leave a group the moment they find out someone hasn't done it before.
I run levi ex pugs all the time if people haven't noticed (lol) and there is a healer that joins up regularly that apparently just says fuck it to the mechanic and gets up to 16 stacks regularly during the fight and then just lets the stacks drop off once they max out. At first, I thought s/he was a moron but I've now seen them solo heal a little less than half the fight so props I guess.
This "theory" has actually made it a lot easier for me to get atmas. I don't know if it works but I've spent all day following it and am currently 9/12.

It's doable while gaining the stacks, but if you're a WHM and you're working with a SCH, you might as well just toss a regen on the off-tank and trust the SCH to heal the off-tank with their fairy most of the time, and focus on other things. I know in party finder and duty finder, getting two healers to work together can feel like a pipe dream, though.

Tried Moggle Mog Extreme and it didn't seem too bad. Wasn't able to clear it though, because people kept dying to the archer aoe and healers kept standing near the paladin moogle and getting charmed.
Still need to try Leviathan Ex. Hardly see any learning groups for it on pf. D:

What fascinated me more was that this healer is a SCH. I figured it would just be easier to let the pet do it s/he apparently didn't have time for that.
Edit: And suprisingly, I don't find it that hard to coordinate two random healers. At least not in levi, used to be difficult in ifrit though.
I'm mainly referring to stuff that you can find in the Duty Roulette, as it's not like people can abandon those without a penalty. Although it's true you do get a bunch of jerkasses at endgame who are like that.

How do I join GAFs free company?
Why do people keep saying this? I just abandoned one the other day while all of us were still in there (yeah, I'm a dick, there was a reason I left) because people kept swearing up and down that there is still a penalty in place. So after my loading screen finished, I que'd right back up with no issue at all.
Instructions are in the OP!

Should I buy this game? Is there a trial period? Is there sub for this game? What's the GAF community like on Balmung? Why can't I create a character on Ultros! How do I join the GAF guild? What's tanking? How do I move this or that or resize this or that? When is the first dungeon? I'm going to play Gladiator and subjob White Mage. How do I maximize my SMN DPS I'm so bad at this job, this game and life in general. Here's some screenshots of my lala. Titan EX wahhh wahhh.

It was duty roulette.
This thread cycles through the same topics faster than the persona community thread.

It's weird. Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't. I know there isn't one if you aren't the first to leave but even when being the first to leave sometimes I've been able to re-queue.
