Ouch, and I just bought WoW time the other week.

Next month is definitely going to FFXIV again, Triple Triad returning and Chocobo Racing is hype as heck.

 

[Killthee]

Wish Triad Triad was a standalone game on Steam/PSN/XBLA.

They're developing a FF companion app that's supposed to be out very soon. It links up to FFXIV apparently and will come with Triple Triad.

How's the PvP, it's mostly 4v4 PvP and then... 18v18v18 RvR? I spent an hour googling about class balance and itemization a week ago, and it seemed the class balance is actually pretty good for a MMO, though a few classes did stand out a bit in each mode...and PvP item reward progression is fairly linear regardless if you win or lose (some folks mentioned spamming losses at a very fast pace) can still earn items at a good rate). The PvP is mostly limited to that, right -- leveling a PvP rank to get PvP item sets? Are their equivalent to higher-end raid gear and/or stats mostly geared to just PvP or PvM, too? Any broader impact on the world, factions, housing, crafting, etc, or basically just points for your 'PvP level'? I know the game is obviously highly PvE centric but it seems they did put decent effort into the arena mode and some pretty good looking armor sets so was just curious about it.

You get points towards your rank, PvP currency, and PvE currency. Most people play the 72 man mode and ignore the 4v4 mode. The 72 man mode also has gear sync so the only point for the high end PvP gear in that mode is vanity.

 

[Valnen]

I've always wanted to play this game but dat subscription.

Probably a stupid question but is it worth it? The PS4 version anyway.

It really depends on what you want out of the game.

 

[barit]

I'm ready! Game is so good

 

[_woLf]

It is taking me everything I have to resist resubbing to this game until the expansion.

aaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[mfaex]

Man that looks like a great place to idle at. I'm not being snarky either. That's exactly where I'd hang out between things in game.

 

[Munba]

GS is pratically a new game. Impressive content..

 

[HolyBaikal]

I'm so glad that Final Fantasy Online finally has chocobo racing. This is so wonderful.

 

[DJIzana]

GS is pratically a new game. Impressive content..

Mmmm. I think you might be disappointed if you think this. There's some things in there that will last a bit but keep in mind. It's a mini game hub. I imagine they might add on to it (especially considering they mentioned they wanted a snowboarding game too) but I wouldn't consider it a new game in its own right lol.

 

[Shamdeo]

Sounds incredible! Please tell me this plays during Triple Triad for max nostalgia

Update: Yep, the original Triple Triad "Shuffle or Boogie" theme is in.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Fuck I want Triple Triad but I dont care for FFXIV

 

[Zareka]

Well looks like my day is sorted then.

[Qvoth]

i heard you can use steam wallet money to pay for the subscription if you have the steam version, maybe OP can be updated with that on the subscription part

 

[Sandfox]

I'll check it out later today. I've been eyeing some of the new items for a while and now I can finally try to get them.

Can't stop feeling that it's too late to start now! Just like every other MMOROG, it feels like it'll take ages to catch up. How "many hours" in is the Gold Saucer content?

It actually doesn't take all that long to "catch up" IMO.

 

[Shamdeo]

Yes you can -- and thanks for reminding me, I'll add it to the OP.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Amazing content. To top it all off the place is owned by those fellas:

 

[ivysaur12]

I think this is going to my first purchase as soon as I get a PS4.

 

[Shamdeo]

Patch is live! Go! Go! Go!

I'VE ARRIVED.

 

[Risk Breaker]

fffffuu I need to find some time and resubscribe

 

[anaron]

brb buying FFXIV :O

I'm actually so tempted

 

[toddhunter]

How does it go for Australians? I've always been tempted, but the thought of subscribing to something a long way away has put me off.

 

[Haunted]

So what you're saying is S-E has officially created some FFVII assets in HD.

Eventually, we'll have our FFVII remake but it'll be embedded in FFXIV.

 

[Wazzy]

Update: Yep, the original Triple Triad "Shuffle or Boogie" theme is in.

YASSSSSSSS

 

[Lonestar]

knew it was coming, still pretty stunned by the look of this place, and I haven't even played anything yet.

 

[CozMick]

What's the location?

Does it eat the framerate like Mor Dhona?

there's plenty, and i mean plenty of australians playing the game, probably 90+% of them are in tonberry
tonberry is the unofficial sea/aus/nz server so the english community is the probably biggest out of all the japanese servers

maybe chocobo breeding should be added into the title as well since it's quite a big deal for some people i imagine

 

[texhnolyze]

Patch is live! Go! Go! Go!

I'VE ARRIVED.

Fuuuuu. I'm so jelly..
So tempted to resub, but I really can't commit to a single MMO nowadays, with all these games in hand.

So what you're saying is S-E has officially created some FFVII assets in HD.

Eventually, we'll have our FFVII remake but it'll be embedded in FFXIV.

Final Fantasy XIV is actually a remake of all Final Fantasy games.
You can find older Final Fantasy games' contents and references in XIV.

Just participated in the dancing GATE. That was pretty fun

#DancingGATE

I like how they kept the S out of GATE

GSATE doesn't sound too good

 

[Teknoman]

I'm so glad that Final Fantasy Online finally has chocobo racing. This is so wonderful.

Well to be fair, didnt FFXI have it? Its probably just not as convoluted here.


At any rate, I wonder what kind of rewards will be added as time goes on, keeping people interested in breeding and racing?

 

[Shamdeo]

First race, first place. B)

 

[The Praiseworthy]

I'm so going back to the game for this !

Yeah just been reading about Tonberry.

Guess I'll give it a go. Not much to lose really.

 

[CorrisD]

That looks pretty sweet, the GS music took me right back for a second there. I've been itching to start playing an MMORPG for a while now, but really don't like the idea of jumping into one so late in the game, and that FF14 seems to have the highest entry price of them. Still, being able to scratch both my Final Fantasy and MMORPG itch at the same time would be pretty cool.

There's a trial on PS4 right?

 

[SliceSabre]

The quest name is "So You Think You Can Ride This Chocobo"

I love the people that work on this end of SE so much.

 

[Shamdeo]

There's a trial on PS4 right?

Yep!

[Kouriozan]

Triple Triad f*ck yeah.
I need to try it as soon as possible.

 

[Super Rookie]

When is the DX11 client out?

 

[Shamdeo]

When is the DX11 client out?

With the expansion Heavensward, so Spring.

 

[CorrisD]

Yep!
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/12/23/playstation-store-update-374/

Sent to my PS4 to download, sweet. It's my day off work too, will have to get some snacks while its downloading and so I don't have to move for a while, lol.

 

[Animekatt]

Can't wait to go home from work, and play TT all day. Only 2 hours to go now...

 

[galvenize]

Never played 8, time to see what TT is all about. Excited about the racing though :].

 

[Plywood]

Update: Yep, the original Triple Triad "Shuffle or Boogie" theme is in.

!!!!

 

[galvenize]

Downloading the update now but how does one actually reach the Gold Saucer?

 

[Haunted]

Final Fantasy XIV is actually a remake of all Final Fantasy games.

What kind of FFVI stuff is in there? I've seen some Magitek Armours in that one CG video.

 

[IMBored]

Downloading the update now but how does one actually reach the Gold Saucer?

Go to uldah, near main aetherite is a new quest that gives you a airship ticket.Go to airship counter, get to GS.

 

[devious.one]

Looking good

• Can I still upgrade from PS3 to PS4 for free?
Yes, the free version upgrade lasts until Tuesday, March 31st, 2015. You will need to download, install, and log in to FFXIV on your PS3 first -- updating the game is not necessary. Then, proceed to the MogStation to continue the process.

Sorry guys, just a a question -- do I need to start my free 30 days in order to do this? I would like to upgrade my unopened PS3 copy, but I won't have the time to play for a while.
