I'm glad I'm stuck in my ways about boxed copies, since I preordered months ago, and have now entered my code and downloaded the Heavensward add on thingy. I can't see the positives about waiting for the digital download in the EU.
For me, shipping to Japan would cost an arm and a leg.
I really wish SE allowed for switching account regions, having to import the EU versions and pay in euro instead of just going to the nearest store really sucks.
Hey everyone! I started off with the free trial to the game and I think I like it so far?I have been playing for about 2 or so days and I am near the cap for the trial. I think I want to continue playing but I have not gotten around to doing any group content. So far I really just like the music and playing Arcanist is alright even though I am use to playing DPS in other MMOs.

Glad you're enjoying it. And Arcanist will branch out into two different jobs. Scholar is a healer and Summoner is a DPS. So leveling up Arcanist, you can play both roles!
Finally fulfilled my long standing dream of tanking T9. It was a messy ass run, we got to 4th favor but healers carried that shit. Well that was exciting. Got a coat to show up for it, really looking forward to being able to just 4-man SCOB for glamors. Finding 3 other people interested in the best fashion shouldn't be too hard.
PS4 users, I have a problem I hope someone here can solve. I was in the console beta long long ago, and now I want to buy the game. To play. Regularly.
But I cannot. This is what happens when I try to purchase it in the PlayStation Store:
Is this a common issue? Is there a workaround, or do I have to spend undue amounts of time on the phone with Sony?
Any help greatly appreciated!

If you played in the Beta it's probably already linked with your PSN account. You likely just need to log into Mog Station and purchase a subscription, assuming you remember your login credentials.PS4 users, I have a problem I hope someone here can solve.

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure how things work on the PS4. I've always been a PC user.
Edit: Never mind, I'm an idiot. That doesn't account for the actual PS4 product key. I'm really not sure. If you remember your login credentials, try logging into Mog Station still and see what that tells you.
hated practicing days and days Twintania to kill him with a static party in a fixed time. It ended up feeling like a job.
If I end up going back to FFXIV is too see the new content, not to close myself for days in Coil again.
Seems like something similar is happening with the trial version. Probably something you'll have to call in to fix. Try the number on that thread and see if you can get them to remove the beta license so you can purchase the full game.PS4 users, I have a problem I hope someone here can solve.

Well there goes my early acces... putting it on the store on the same day of release well GG XD
PSN updates are shit and downloading can be a bitch, I am doomed.
I'd really like to see Dark King pop up in XIV just because.

Preach it sister!
Welp, canceled my day off. Between waiting for the game to be available on the store and updating with all the servers full better not waste a day and do it with remote play from work. If only I could buy it from SE store, but they don't mention my country.
Amazon.co.uk sends early access codes a few minutes after placing a preorder, doesn't charge until the order is shipped and doesn't complain when you cancel it.
Just saying. The way SE is treating EU is laughable.

MMORPGs have come a long way since FF11, and adding some excitement and danger to the world doesn't have to mean the extreme way that it was there. There is a middle ground between the completely bland and safe world we have now and the world FF11 had.

Isn't it part of FFXIV lore that Lalafell actually are a food source to the local flora and fauna? I swear I've read that somewhere.
There's something I'm not getting.
How can I acces the expansion with the early acces (the 19th) if the disc (or digital release) launches the 23th?

Just choose a class you like and go for it.
But here's my story. I my case I leveled White Mage to 50 first. Then I decided to level Scholar to 50 so that I had both healers classes and would always be useful in that regard. Already have Scholar in your party? That's fine I have a White Mage as well.
Then I max Paladin because well tank class seemed interesting and this was back in early days when Warriors were looked down upon compared to Paladins. Lastly I leveled a Bard to max so that I'd have a DPS class at the ready as well. Technically I have a max Summoner as well because of the way the Arcanist/Scholar/Summoner line works, but I hardly use it because stats are distributed towards Mind/Healing rather than INT/Damage though not like anybody I party will actually knows this because my Summoner is ilvl 100.

Lol thanks! Man, it sucks they didn't do the contest for EU
I wonder why...My character right now is a bit of a placeholder(derpy male elezen) until the Au Ra are here so maybe I'll wait and take a screencap in two weeks once everybody else is posting their new Au Ra visages.

If someone already posted the link, sorry XD just saw the post above and wanted to let fellow EU players know.
It's up to you, but some people go after the classes which give cross-class abilities to their main.
You should have received a code when you bought the game (or later if it was e-mailed). When you input the code to the mogstation, it grants you access to the preorder items which includes the early access. There will probably be a client update allowing those flagged as early access the ability to go into heavensward areas.

It's a mmo, you'll have to download stuff through the launcher anyway.
How could there be any danger if death has no penalty? This kind of sentiment is really silly when you put your complaint so simply, when this issue is anything but simple. The reason why FFXI environments were so dangerous is due to a combination of how the game mechanics were implemented. First of all mobs can rarely be soloed, even if you are 10 levels above, not to mention there is no way of getting rid of aggro unless you zone, otherwise they will follow you until one of you is dead. Travel options are severly limited and must be done on foot most of the time, and unless you're on the right jobs (or have the necessary items), you won't have access to teleport/warp. Then the ultimate death penalty. People are afraid of dying because they lose experience points
XIV changed all that when the game was made to be more accessible and solo friendly. Mobs reset, teleports available to everyone at any time, mounts, and death has no consequence. So how does it exactly give you meaning by simply populating the world with enemies that can kill you? You lose nothing by dying and all you are left with is a minor annoyance of having to get back to where you were. If that is your idea of danger, then I'd say no thank you and to leave the nostalgia in the past.

Thanks! So, the disc is basically useless for what I see lol

Depends, generally the disc is filled with a bunch of assets, then they patch some stuff in on release day. In some cases they don't even patch(for example wow expansion launches tend to just be unlock access to new content live in real time, you already have the expansion installed way before). So the disk would save you some downloading most of the time, most of it at least.
I had fun as Acn while grinding to Scholar. Acn is still DPS lol
Well, ARC is actually short for Archer. ACN is short for Arcanist, which turns into Scholar.
Too early in the morning...lol thanks
There's also tonnes of new coil content, of which most is very easy nowadays.
Finally took the time and put in a preorder on Heavensward. So, I'm ready for that thing to hit, and come back again. Should be about finished with Witcher by then as well.
I too remember my first trip to Jueno back in XI, as an underleveled character. Sneaking through Jugner Forest and Battilia Downs, under threat of immediate death. Jugner was the worst, being more of a corridor area, having to chose the right path (when you don't even know which is the right path), and avoiding grabbing agro from insta-death.

I refuse to believe Witcher ends. Every time I get rid of a question mark another spawns in its place, with another tale of a beaten/jealous/murdered/turned into a demon woman to be murdered/avenged/rescued. I will be slowly working my way through The Witcher long after the FFXIV servers have been sold for scrap parts.
