I have a question,
Do I have to buy a copy (PS4) or just buy a subscription since I have the client and played through the beta? Also, I bought it on Steam if it makes any difference.

I just started installing the ps3 version this morning, so what will i need to do after that to eventually get this on the ps4? i dont mind not being able to play this on ps3 as i'd rather play it on ps4.

Do we know when will we be able to login back into the game? I was thinking hopefully as soon as it becomes Friday in Japan (ie, in a bit over 8 hours now), but if the US stuff goes at the same time, I'm worried they might go with the US times and make it Saturday for Japan :(

Installed, updates done, asking me to log into my SE account and what is this one time passwords thing?

So I installed FFXIV on my new PC from my laptop...

My lordy this is gorgeous @o@ From Laptop Stanard settings at 30fps to Maximum at 60fps. Haven't been able to play for a good 3 months because of my laptop just overheating whenever I start it up

I'm not used to the keyboard yet though >_> I keep pressing the buttons wrong, but this one's an el-cheapo while my real one comes.

Unfortunately while I was gone, my server (Phoenix) seems to have dried up >_< I think I'll shell out for a server transfer to a more populated server, I miss having people to talk to

Since they seem to be digging back to some of the more well liked 1.0 tracks, I wonder if stuff like Holy Consult and Unspoken (old Coerthas theme) will make a return.

EDIT: Ripples in the Sea ( Admiral Bloefhiswyn's theme) still inspires confidence...kinda makes me wish I went with the Maelstrom as a Grand Company.

Then again...I could always switch.

Guys, i saw the price drop for the digital version of FF XIV and was wondering if i can buy it for PS3 to claim the free PS4 upgrade? Is there any time limit on this offer?

I just figured that using the PS3->PS4 upgrade, i will be able to get it for $25. Please confirm this, thanks.

The game is $40 on the PS4, right?

Ultros? my only concern there, is i'm UK based and thats us server
Click to expand...

We have some UK members as well (or at least I believe we do, I know i've seen activity at all hours) but i'm not sure as to how many outside of our free company.

They would probably be better to comment on lag and whatnot.

I'm in the UK and on Ultros, zero issues.

If you want to play with GAF, get on Ultros.

Second that. As I understand all NA/EU are based in Canada, so lag wouldn't be better, and the player pop seemed pretty good when I was on (I'm not UK but only one hour off).

I have an active PS3 account and I've played it in the past on that platform. Do we have to transfer our characters from inside the PS3 version or can we do it from the PS4? Don't want to have to setup my PS3 again if I don't have to.

Also does anyone know if the fat chocobo can fight alongside you like the GC version?

regarding the 1 time password, i recommend everybody to get the free app on either android or ios
you get an extra free home point with it

remember to start the registration process (for the 1 time password app) from mogstation

You don't have to. All the servers are shared between platforms, so you can just log in to your character on the PS4. However, macros, hotkeys etc won't transfer unless you log in PS3, use the transfer to PS4 button, log in the PS4 and do the same.
The regular chocobo can fight after a few upgrades, don't know about the fat one.

I don't think it's better, because you probably have your smartphone at all times, and not the token. For example, I brought my token to work today, hoping the transfer service opens early.

Also, good idea creating a character now, after the early release the server might be full and no creation allowed.

Go with the one that seems more appealing for you, the stats for race, clan and god are not important.

I have a habit in rpgs of always going for melee classes on my first playthrough? is this a game were 1 playthrough/character is enough?

Hyur or Roegadyn? I like the bio of the Hellsguard but the stats are lower than the Sea Wolves, yet I like the look of the Hyurs

You will specialize in one class but you can level multiple classes on the same character (you have to in order to unlock your job and important cross class skills).

Good luck!

I've made a warrior in Beta2 because i heard there is a lack of tanks in this game and i'm used to playing tank (WoW)

But i gotta say i highly recommend making a warrior / marauder due the fact that 1 : you can tank 2 : you can actually deal decent dmg and swing a big two handed AXE! what more can you want?
