buying a ps3 copy and upgrade

ummm if you aren't doing max dps you're playing melee wrong. Idk any good drg/mnks that even care about mechanics
Well, the pattern is easy enough to learn and is way easier than any of the Extreme fights. Three wipes to clear the fight is still way better than going through PUG after PUG of people who were way overgeared for the fight not being able to keep up with the mechanics of it. Hell, on more than one occasion, I've had one DPS use Lv3 LB to "Try and finish it off" before the final set of Aetheric Booms. The fight really just has a very low tolerance for how many screw-ups can happen before the party wipes, since it technically has a hard "enrage" though thankfully those screw-ups are almost always easy to identify. I know I'm never attempting the fight again unless it's with a group of seven others I know, though I'll admit that I haven't tried to do the fight since 2.2 launched so I couldn't tell you if the echo changes things.
Haha, I'm definitely normally on the side of thinking that I should do it for the fight itself and not for the reward, but Ultima's just so tedious, especially now that i90 and i100 accessories are so relatively easy to get. I'm hoping that Gilgamesh Hard won't end up in the same situation, though at least that fight's mechanics seem to be immediately more "fun" than Ultima's.
Edit: The move back to gaming and title change made me think I was posting in the PS4 beta thread, haha.

If Yoshida didn't want us to get hit by mechanics he wouldn't have given us so much HP.

The 5000 + Hp threshold assumes you are going to get hit by plumes at least twice
Too bad people just get caught in 4-plume stacks and just go poof
HP means nothing to Titan, you hear me, NOTHING! XD

well Amazon emailed me another code. I guess the 9th was supposed to be the actual code distribution date.
Titan cares not for the murderers of his children.
oh it's a joke, I get it

Nah, I love having to waste my Aether stacks to make sure we have all of our DPS members alive for DPS check phases, potentially leaving our tank lower than I'd like, only for them to get hit by shit like Landslide or die twice in a row to avoidable damage, effectively getting us wiped.
Welcome
to hell
Then run back? There's a ton of space to run around even if the melee are doing flank moves.
Looking forward to early-access that's for sure. I have been dying to get back on the last 2 days. Still trying to decide on which DPS I am going to main eventually, but I will certainly be leveling up all of the classes outside of the dungeons at least. I cannot see myself tanking in a dungeon, but healing might work.
I will admit that bugs me a bit, but so long as it isn't too consistent, and it's only happening on one side of Titan, I'm okay with it.

thought this thread on slick deals was funny:
http://slickdeals.net/f/6846676-final-fantasy-xiv-a-relam-reborn-ps4-free-on-psn
Basically just some dudes thinking the digital version is free because the beta client is still up and available for download.

Aside from event stuff like the FFXIII weapons, it's mostly armor like Warrior of Light gear and White Mage clothing.
You can get Odin's Zantetsuken, though.
None that the player can really wield, except some of the FF13 promotional event weapons (which you can't get anymore...) The antagonists have gunblades, but no class can use them right now. As for Buster Swords, there is no two-handed sword class (Warriors use axes, and Paladins are one-handers) in the game yet.
Oh yeah, guess there's Odin's weapon.

buy a regular edition ps4 copy and register it on your square enix account.
Or buy a ps3 copy if you have a ps3 and do the upgrade to the ps4 version.
If you don't own a PS3, just buy the PS4 version.
Console and PC are separate registration codes, so you can't just play on PS4 without buying the game for that system.
Nope, you do not need a code if you're upgrading from PS3 to PS4. The upgrade process will start on the 11th, and you'll be able to play the moment it is finished.
Go the the Calamity Savager in Limsa, you can buy the FF13 weapons there.

You need tokens from the Lightning FATEs for that, no?

Nope
Nope, you can just use Gil.
Also you can repurchase event items, artifact armor, or earlier iterations of your Relic weapons.
For example, if I wanted to I could re-purchase my Bravura Zodiac, and do the Atma grinding all over again. XD

Well, now I feel like an idiot for carrying all those weapons in my inventory all this time since I thought they were an one time thing.

Does anyone know about the actual process of upgrading from PS3 to PS4 versions? I have played on the PS3 recently, but they've updated the client and it's taking forever to download on that system. Is it necessary to do the upgrade through the PS3, or can I do it from my PS4?
But didn't you have to obtain them in the first place to do that? It doesn't show, for example, the seasonal gear I didn't obtain.
It'll be handled through the MogStation. As long as you've logged into the PS3 version once and thus have a fully working account, you shouldn't have any issues doing it through the PS4 later.
It showed season gear that I didn't obtain.
The whole entire first page is blank for me, and the second one only shows the ones I did complete. Pretty sure if you didn't get those FF13 weapons before, you can't get them now.
Actually I don't even see the FFXIII weapons on here. What category are they under?
That's a bug, I thought, just like being able to see / "buy" relics you hadn't obtained yet from that NPC. You can see them on the list, but the transaction doesn't go through if you try to actually buy it.
