Oh man potentially a reason to care about MGP. Non-job-limited, dyable vanity gear is always a good thing.
I'm pretty sure they'll give a few weeks unlocked before adding echo, whenever they do it. They've been pretty consistent about trying to get people through based on overgearing in various stages before going in and just decreasing the base difficulty, and I don't see that changing.

When the Impulse Drive DRG is mass produced...
The game is already managing Triple Triad tournaments. If there is enough interest in the FC, I would like to organize a chocobo racing circuit. I will need help with setting the rules to make it as inclusive and as fair as possible. It will have to be multiple races across all the tracks, since I assume we can easily get more than 8 participants. Probably some sort of point system based on placement in results, and each player will be in an equal amount of races at the end.
yes sounds good ill join

Triple Triad Tournaments managed by the game will be server wide but I would still like to see some FC only tournaments in the future with custom rules and prizes.
I'm interested in a Chocobo circuit.I would consider setting up brackets based on Chocobo ranks as higher ranked Chocobos will have an advantage.
Oh, I meant, that I hope there's a good long while before any nerfs. Heck, I'd like at least another month before FCoB goes off lockout, just to give my group more of a chance to clear it and farm out that last turn before that point. I mean, in terms of timespan, right now we're at the equivalent of early August during the SCoB runs, roughly a month after the catch-up path.
So unlocking it a month from now would be the equivalent of unlocking SCoB back in early September. Granted, with an expansion coming up it might be justifiable, but I'd still like a little more time to farm things out normally first.
Yes, separating groups by rank would be ideal. However, there could be issues. Organizing and scheduling the races might take some time and chocobo's ranks would change between the time we start organizing and the time the circuit actually happens. The circuit races themselves will also give chocobo's experience and push their ranks up.

"Swap - one random card will be swapped"
Swaps my 5 star card out 90% of the time.

Ask him if there would ever be a possibility for Tetra Master.
I'm starting to wonder what's the point of having TT rules if they only apply to me and not NPC.
It it isn't actually. You still under the limit.

I'd be interested in a GAF chocobo league. Will defiantly want to give notice on race times, so breeders don't retire their race choco the night before the race.

For those players that need more guidance on Triple Triad progression, this Lodestone blog post is a great guide.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...tting-Over-the-Triple-Triad-Beginner-s-Hurdle
It is possible to beat every NPC in the game without getting to 30 cards. Many, including myself, did it on patch day to get the Squall card.
For building up your deck, focus on the NPCs that drop 1* and 2* cards with simple rules and NPCs that have rarer cards and rules that can be manipulated for a win like Swap, Same, or Plus. Ascension is another rule that can be manipulated, but you'll need to build a deck for this rule - a Beastmen deck for early progression.
If you're farming an NPC for a rare card, build a deck specifically meant for that NPC. Never place your best card on the last slot of your decks because it will never be played when you're not the starting player in an Order rule game.

Got my physical disc through the door and have come off the trial to a proper account and set up a subscription. Had to wait a bit to make a character on Ultros, but after much waiting and the maintenance I finally got it, only level 11 so far but getting there. Quite enjoying it so far, just fun exploring, adventuring, killing things, getting killed by things, watching people ride around on what looks like glowing unicorns.
A quick question about joining the guild, it might sound stupid to ask as I might be missing the obvious, but what exactly is the difference between "Character" and "Character Name" on the recruitment form?

You don't lose money for losing to real players in TT, right? Wouldn't trading wins back and forth with someone be the most efficient way to grind out MGP?

It's kinda funny how often I get cards from dungeons and don't even notice it.

Funny after constantly losing with those super serious groups I finally beat Leviathan EX with a group full of silly people and a tank who was dancing half the time.
i kept hearing to fight sezul you need to have max ixali beastmen rep? can anybody confirm that? or can you fight him after unlocking the quest?
also, regarding the daily triple triad bonus points for fighting against human players, i heard you only get 5 games and any losses are included in those 5? so you can't trade wins with another player?

Not sure if anyone saw this on reddit, but here's a handy cheat sheet for the mini cacpot: http://super-aardvark.github.io/yuryu/
It helped me win 3600 mgp tonight!
Also the vendor next to the racing choco breeder in brentbranch meadows sells choco lvl 1 stat buffs for 1,500 Gil. Way cheaper than the lvl 2 food sold at the gold saucer. Good way to juice up your racing choco while still saving the mgp for a fenrir mount.

For the free log in weekend? Download the trial version on a new account/PSN account so you're set to go on your real account this weekend.

I wonder why they haven't added a squat emote yet. You see so many random NPCs doing it but it's not available for players.
You need an account to update the game. I'm not sure if they have a file that contains the latest version of the game in full.
I can't seem to find a download link for PC. It might be that it's provided only when you've signed up for the PC version/free trial.
Someone else may be able to chime in with more information.

So are all the cards from dungeons either one or two stars?
Megalosaro

Hell yeah. GUNDAM reference I'm the title.
Yes, but IMO 1-3 star cards are the most important ones in the game due to the fact that you're primarily making your deck with them.
I've been using this google doc I think I found on reddit to help my card collecting a lot.
I've gotten 3-4 of the dungeon-only cards so far (sahagin, ahriman, etc) and so far it has not taken me more than one trip to each dungeon to get the card to drop. Hope that luck holds out. They seem to be much more rare from trials.
Bah, expected this. I'll just wait until tonight when it goes live and download it. I'm only level 22 so really just going to be levelling and seeing how much has changed. I don't really expect to be blown away, I'm far more invested into my Guild Wars 2 resurgence now.

Just purchased on Steam. If I'm luck this will download in the next 20 minutes and I can get on for a little bit. If not I'll be on at some point tomorrow.
Who should I PM in game to get my new main added to the GAF FC? My old main is currently in the FC and I'm going to delete him so I can re-use his name and then add the new main into the FC.
Think I'm gonna go with a cat-person rogue, the ninja looks awesome. And the cat dude would be a cool Machinist whenever that class/job gets released.

So I decided to fantasia and betray my Highlander brethren.
The most noticeable difference is how much taller everyone seems now.
Information on how to get into the GAF FC is in the opening post.

Hi, I'm a returning player for this free login weekend.
I'm still a little confused here. So the trial version client is the same as the full game version, right?

Gotta Tonberry card in WP, got the Bahamut card from Elmer and got the Heartless Staff. Now I can go travel and beat these NPCs for the Squall card
Wait... It says Free login weekend but it lasts from the 27th of February to the 9th of March?

does the free weekend only apply to new accounts?
What dropped?

No, old accounts only. Active account who have bought the game.
I think we'll be able to login in 10 minutes.
MNK claws (this was perfect drop, BiS and Moara doesn't do relic. Plus he has had bad RNG) and MNK pants (bleh).
Most important thing that dropped? A sense of satisfaction and accomplishment
I watched the stream recording again and it sounds like I orgasm'd lol That felt so good.
Do coil drops operate on some wack ass timezone implementation where certain gear has a better chance of dropping at a certain time of day? Or is it that I am at the point where I start making shit up to explain lame drops every week?

The rarity rule is pretty BS in Triple Triad. I don't remember the rules being all that bad in FFVIII, and you could force a lot of the bad ones away. However, the way they have everything setup artificially adds such an annoying amount of difficulty that you have to just get dumb lucky to win a lot of the time. Not to mention most of the NPCs I've noticed aren't even beholden to any rules whatsoever. They can come at you with as many Rare 5s as they want, and yet I'm limited to just fucking Onion Knight? It's kinda bullshit but it is what it is.
As a side note I'm starting to remember why I prefer Tetra Master to Triple Triad :/
