    Yeah, there is going to be quests all the way to 50, and main story arc that runs the whole way through and whatnot. There's not gonna be gaps with no quests at release.

    Right now the NDA is pretty much non existant. The only NDA currently in place is no video posting, everything else is free to discuss/post pics. I remember hearing phase 4 the NDA would be gone completely.

    According to the last live letter Yoshi-P said Arcanists will get Carbuncle (and possibly other summons), Scholars will get a fairy or multiple kinds of fairies, and Summoners will get eggi primals, which are like mini primals, like the eggi Ifrit that was shown, along with he said ones based...

    I know in P2 they had this too, they didn't have all the quests available. They had an auto level NPC that would level you to 25 where more quests opened up. Don't know if hes in there or not anymore, but supposedly there are supposed to be more quests available to level cap. That or you...

    So I noticed a small patch a bit ago, and I created a new character and was able to skip the opening cutscene. They must have patched this in tonight.

    Yeah Phase 3 will be wiped, Phase 4 (open beta) will not be wiped unless its required due to a bug or something.

    I dunno, to me, the starting run around town quests reminded me a lot of FFXI and running around Bastok learning the layout and whatnot. Made it feel more like home to me later in the game when it came to FFXI. Anyways yeah during P2 I didn't really get the hook until around level 10 when I...

    Yeah EU and NA are on the same server anyway, in Montreal, if it is open already. If not, then everyone is still using the JP servers (English Version though). For beta it would be exactly the same as having an NA key. And yeah in P2 I recall some people here on the forums getting EU keys...

    The only thing I have found on reddit is another user saying If you are on PC: Make a new SE account that corresponds to the region of your code If you are on PS3: Do same as above but also make a new PSN account that corresponds to the region of your code Hope that helps Sounds like you...

    Not sure if this is the point you are stuck at but try these links for NA http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/prepa.../index_na.html http://entry.ffxiv.com/beta_regist/na or these ones for EU http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/prepa.../index_en.html http://entry.ffxiv.com/beta_regist/eu

    It just came out today, Scholar branches out from Arcanist (Along with Summoner). Which opens up the ability to branch multiple jobs from a class. This is sweet, because that means that we may have warrior branch into Samurai, and Gladiator branch into Dark Knight, etc. Multiple branches from...

    Mine said I needed a square enix account, and a registration code, and then I hit next, entered in my square enix account ID, and it never did ask for the registration code. Assuming it pulls that from your beta account when you log in.

    Doesn't really mean a whole lot but figured I'd post it here, FFXIV ARR won Destructoid's Best MMO of E3 this year. Maybe some reassurance for people on the fence about it. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...55#post1002055

    Yeah, you still have zones like FFXI and EQ, but the zones end up opening up a lot and getting ginormous. Think North Ro + Oasis + South Ro size for one zone. And then like 5 or so zones make up a region. We have not seen the rest of the world, and considering all the world areas were remade...

    It's no different than if you want to play CoD or BF3 on PC and then on your console, or Diablo 3, on PS3/4 if you already own it on PC. Or if you own it on Xbox 360, and you want a PS3 version, you have to buy games if you want to play on different platforms. Just the way it works. That and...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Ok I know it's the cool thing to hate on EA, but fuck this game looks sweet. The destruction level is bonerific. And commander mode from tablets/phones is sweet as hell.

    If he was in P2, he will still be in for P3, he doesn't need a new invite. His same account will just work. P3 beta weekend starts this coming weekend I believe. Edit just found this too. P3 starts 6/14, expect invites to go out 6/12 http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...vites_june_12/

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I do understand where you are coming from, that they should put this out 1/2 way between an expansion cycle or something, but we all know Blizzard is too slow to do this. Keep in mind if they did this, they could still add raids/content every patch like they do now, and launch with a raid tier...

    Sounds like a good enough idea, skimming the parts from the show. And my wife is all caught up on the books, so I can always ask her too if I get confused.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Earlier today, I was thinking to myself, what would make me and my wife and friends come back to WoW and had what I think is a pretty decent idea. What WoW really needs to do, if it wants to draw in numbers again, is release a different type of expansion, all focused on the "other stuff" to...

    It's not that my reading skills suck, it's just that I have the attention span of 2 year old when it comes to reading books. Especially with summer and kids and all that, there is always too much shit to do, and to take the time to sit down and read, I just end up doing other stuff until I am...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I quit around 5.1 or 5.2, and came back to see whats new and it is already confusing to me. Brawlers guild, a few new daily hubs with epic rewards, PvP supposedly way changed, and now new raid tiers, confusing. Flex raids definitely is not a feature to get players to return, but seems more a...

    Damnit what an anti-climatic ending. I can't stand to wait another year so I am going to give in and read the books. I don't want to open up the spoiler thread to ask there, but I am such a lazy reader and can never motivate myself to read, but I must continue on with the story, so I am going...

    No, only 1.0 accounts get beta access for the upcoming phase 3. But phase 4 is the open beta phase, which should run in July/August timeframe.

    Honestly I couldn't tell you for certain. I heard the code you get ahead of time is a promo code that you can apply to any account, and then closer to release we will all get the actual account key. I have also heard of people preordering on Amazon, who does not charge you until shipping, and...

    Defiance

    Worth picking up for $24 bucks? GMG has it for PC for $24. I could enjoy a decent FPS MMO if that's what this is. I haven't really followed it all. I heard it sucked in beta/launch, but wondering if they patched it up a bit. The F2P makes me curious.

    The hound has always had a soft spot for the Stark girls. Sansa and Arya. He rescued Sansa a few times and tried to get her to leave with him. I'm thinking he just has a soft spot for innocent girls in general. Maybe something from his past?
