OK snagged the Amazon physical copy for PS3 (due here on Sunday). Plan to move my account to the PS4 via digital transfer asap.

Question: do I need to install it to PS3 in order to register it there, or is there a code in the box that I can add at Mogstation or on PSN?


Excited! But more excited to just jump in! Alllmost jumped at the PS3 Collector's for $32 at SQ but I really didn't want to pay the shipping or wait.

Is there an option to upgrade the same account later to Collector's, or will that be a new account if I choose to double dip and buy it later?

Yes, you need to install the PS3 version. Yes you can upgrade to collector's edition later with the same account.

You need to install it, as crazygambit noted. The PS3 version goes through PSN, either by code or digital download. The first time you run the game on your PSN account, it allows you to create a Square-Enix account and/or register the PS3 license to said account. Only once this has been done can you upgrade it to the PS4 version.

Today's the day Drama gets her PS4. Otherwise, there will be riots.
Haven't bought one yet. Will still have riots regardless, it's Black Friday. Nowadays there's always casualties.

Why so funny?
Experience with Square Enix account system is that an account doesn't guarantee easy access of anything, hence the top lel

More edit: If you do not have a Square Enix token/authenticator [app], you do not need to fill in the One-Time Password field. This seems to be a common mistake made by newcomers. It is however recommended for you to get one, given that it 1) makes your account more secure and 2) it allows you to set a free teleport location in the game. If you do end up getting the authentication app, remember to write down the emergency password!

And 3) makes you login significantly slower every subsequent time. Pass.

Well I meant the riots more in the vein of Reduced Rates expiring. You didn't have to get all real on me. There's still time, Drama, there's still time to get that PS4! I believe in you!

I got too close to 30 last night on my Rogue so I went ahead and resubbed. Was able to come by some extra funds which really helped!

Attn FC leaders: I did a name change, this will be the only time I do this as im not big on changing names, just wasnt happy with the original. Arthur Snowdragon is now Kitsune Shinokage.

Wanted to pick something that would fit my Nin and DK when the expansion hits!

I need the EU PC version of the game to keep playing on my EU PC trial account, right? Been looking for deals on the digital download but only one I've found is on Amazon US, bah. Guess I'll have to go buy a boxed copy, even though it's not as dirt cheap as the PS3 version.

But yes, been enjoying the trial more than I expected. The polished UI might be part of it, as well as the modal dialogue boxes, the music etc. And playing with a gamepad of course, not sure if I'm gimping myself by not using kb&m but I loathe third-person WASD controls. So far it's been alright, stumbled a few times when switching between LT and RT abilities but nothing major.

I should be able to buy any bluetooth adapter, and connect my DS3 to PC right? My USB cable has been acting strange as of late.

So, live letter tomorrow.

Probably mostly 2.45 stuff, but might still be a few interesting tidbits...

...Too bad I'm not staying up that last to watch it live. XD

It's mainly Q&A stuff, I wouldn't expect too much outside of like you said, a few 2.45 stuff.

Still getting up to watch it though

Since secondary stats are shit for SMN, decided to switch over and just play as BLM while I casually work on my WiiU novus. I need to get the soldiery staff for blm but the rng is being a prick when it comes to uat in both coil and st. At least I got my first two pieces of HA gear that went straight onto my retainer lol

i'm new to this game, and MMO's (played FFXI but that was ages ago)... so forgive the dumb question, there will probably be many more to come...

there is a menu to check equipped items, right? where is it? i've been playing for hours but can't find it. I know what i have equipped because it's not in my armory (or whatever the ctrl+I menu is), but still...

You mean aside from the character menu?

Tho, I'd love to take that, and the odin armor, and troll a ton of people next time there was Odin weather.

I've spent around 5 days with either Duty Finder or Party Finder set up for Cape Westwind and still haven't gotten in yet.

Yojimbo pls.

Ive got a question pertaining to the Ninja class as there is a little confusion after the changes in one of the most recent updates. What exactly are the requirements other than level 30 Rogue and Level 15 Pug. Do I need to do the class quests and anything else? Also I believe I read that now you have to hit 31 with the Rogue to finally become a Ninja. Plus do i need to do the Sylph-Management quest if I already did it once with my Pali?

I've spent around 5 days with either Duty Finder or Party Finder set up for Cape Westwind and still haven't gotten in yet.

I was a little worried at first about the que times switching from Tank to DPS but I have yet to have the Duty Finder go over 30 mins at high peak hours. Individual dungeons may take alil longer to find but not by much in my experience so far that is. After Dark Knight arrives I bet que times will fix themselves.

I've used Duty Finder as a Paladin mostly so it's been okay usually. Nothing has had a queue time this long, though.

Step 1: Transfer to Ultros
Step 2: Ask people to help
Step 3: ????
Step 4: profit

Is Step 3 lag because of it being a non-JP data center (._. )
though really if some non-JP servers don't give me too bad of a connection maybe I should switch.

A DPS wait time in duty finder is always going to be quite a bit longer than tanks and healers. Everyone (including me) is working on their ninja's and such. Just wye up then work on ur hunting log or a different class in the meantime. What lvl/class ru?

Paladin ;_; but even the 4 DPS class has rarely filled up over the past few days. Shrug ~

I think im just gonna order a 360 wireless receiver and wait to jump back in. My wired 360 still has that stupid analog drift problem, and my usual DS3 seems like its having some strange USB connection issues with my PC.
 
Welp, rip finishing nexus before the patch comes out, if it's in the next 2 weeks. Was looking around battlenet and noticed there was a 10 day free trial for WoD and was wanting to see what restrictions it had through a pop up. Well...there was no pop up confirmation window and it auto added the trial to my account. So outside of raiding and capping tomes...not exactly doing a whole lot in FF until the trial dies lol.

This is after getting like 160 light in a day just from doing random things every now and then, so was actually in a good place to finish before the patch, if I could keep that up everyday for a little over a week and a half.
