Final Fantasy XIV - Games - Facepunch Forum

I thought we were all gonna be joining the same server :(

I must admit, this is one of the few MMO games I'm semi-excited about (after having been disappointed by Guild Wars 2). It might be because of the Final Fantasy name affixed to it. Despite not having played the previous one (I heard it was kind of bad), I'm interested in at least trying it out. I am, however, disappointed (but not surprised, I suppose) that this game will be using a monthly payments system. I probably won't buy the full game when it comes out because I disagree with this type of payment system, but I'll make a judgment call, when the time comes, depending on whether or not this game warrants my money.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;41046961]I thought we were all gonna be joining the same server :([/QUOTE] I plan to for release :) wasnt too fussed with the weekends, admittidly ive been playing way longer than i ment to this weekend. :v im stopping myself leveling by just exploring the world now, seen some pretty cool stuff, could throw it into an album if theirs intrest.

Hit level 10 so I'm quitting till phase 4 Grind seems easier this time around but I still can't handle :words:

Wow someone posted this picture on reddit of a huge queue of people. What a civilized community. Can't wait to actually play. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PAezx1B.jpg[/t]

I like what I'm playing of the beta so far. I'm already planning on picking up the CE for that artbook and box, so who knows I might even sub past the first month if it keeps my attention. Also Magitek mount oh god the fan service I love it

Is this quest line like The Wire or something? It's called, "Way down in the hole", and an officer sets up a survey team to check in on syndicate activity.

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;41052700]Seriously? Someone at Square Enix fancies The Wire..? That's awesome.[/QUOTE] Same with the doom comic, there was a Pugilist quest that I did where the guy I was talking to said RIP AND TEAR, the one where he tells you to go and kill some giant toads.

Please tell me that's some kind of cosmetic and not actual armor [editline]16th June 2013[/editline] I can never be sure with these eastern mmos [editline]16th June 2013[/editline] I guess I never noticed this stuff last time I played. :v:

There was a DBZ reference in pre-ARR, where one of the Gridania people reported something like "our scouters reported over 9000 enemies" or something. It was during the quests to join the whole guild thing

oh geez I noticed a LOT of quests, leves and FATE events had very pop culture quote-ish names to them. It's amusing but I really hope there aren't too many "lol we browse the internet too" references throughout also the music was really impressive, I can't wait to get back in again

When is it starting again? [editline]16th June 2013[/editline] Aw, it's TBA

nothing in the beta forum but a number of people in there are speculating next weekend for a phase 3 pt 2. From what I'm hearing though, "Phase 4" will be more refined and worth waiting for compared to having played the previous beta tests

Yeah phase 4 will bring saving for launch I THINK as long as there are no major problems with allowing it. But I would like to at least try ARR next weekend if it's going to be going on. (It probably will be since there are 3 weeks left for P3 and 3 tests left in it.)

It's probably next weekend since p2 was every week p4 characters will carry over so I'm going to start legit playing then silentjubjub you couldn't get in? I was put in for p2 but didn't get an email for p3 Ran the launcher anyway and it let me in just fine

I put in a support ticket on Friday after one of the community employees told everyone to do so. But with the support team not working on weekends, I didn't even get a chance to get in this one. [editline]16th June 2013[/editline] And even if you're a 1.0 player, you still have to put in a key on the launcher. Believe me, I tried. :v:

Oh, that really blows I never played 1.0 so I hope the changes bring new life into the game for you

What server do you all want to go to for launch, because i'd prefer it to be Hyperion.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;41063554]What server do you all want to go to for launch, because i'd prefer it to be Hyperion.[/QUOTE] Why?

[QUOTE=SweFox*;41063574]Why?[/QUOTE] It was my main server when I was playing in the pre-ARR version

Is it on the NA Server cluster?

[QUOTE=kenji;41063592]Is it on the NA Server cluster?[/QUOTE] Yup.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;41063602]Yup.[/QUOTE] Then i'm all for it, that's literally my only checkbox, the JP servers had too much of a ping for me and it really effected how much i enjoyed the game, the NA servers are just so much more responsive.

So release wont have any EU servers?
