actually it f$9.99 for the service plus $3 for each character and you need at least one to play so that equals $12.99

They won't do that because of the Bazaar system.

They have no issue with you staying online afk to sell your stuff.

How to you acquire weapons and tools that are not part of your starting class ?

You buy them from vendors... tho you going to have to look around for the right vendor.

Use Yellow Gremlin site to find the NPC with what you are looking for.

You have to use quote marks around the item

/equip main "Weathered Spear"

Caps may play a role too.

You probably just not around when someone ask something.

I see more shouts then says.... and even those are rare.

Most the time I'm talking in Linkshell chat.

What this world needs is a Boderlands MMO imo

Really I think you just going to have to wait for Black Prohecy and/or Jumpgate Evolution.

there is a "windower"-type thing already out there. if you have fullscreen you can still alt-tab the game.

link to it: http://aikar.co/FFXIVWindower.exe

 

and there is this script to take away the border if you play in windowed mode:

http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/10729-borderless-window-script/

Windower doesn't work anymore, and Square told the guy that made to stop so he has Disconitued it.

I can't get to the FFXIVCORE link atm, since the site is under maintance, but I'm guessing that is the AutoHotKey Script which works great....

Still the game runs better full screen, so running windowed is still annoying.

You train skills just by ranking up. There are some you buy with guild marks but that is later on.

You can move skills around your bar either bar selecting where you want the skill that is already on you bar in another slot.

If that doesn't work just unequip them the add them back.

I really hope the fix that alt-tab thing soon... exiting the game or playing windowed is annoying.

Just FYI to add to what was already said.

Technically you can do 16 Leves

8 Regional and 8 Local

Regional are Battlecraft (Combat) and Fieldcraft (Gathering) leves

Local are crafting leves.

I spent less money on WoW in the long run then buying games for consoles.

About $1200 over 4 years or $300 a year.

That is the game cost via 3 Accounts, 1st xpac twice, 2nd xpac once, 3 Server transfers, a name change,a nd of coarse the monthly fee (note the 2nd account only open for 60 days, the 3rd was 90 days)

$300 = 5 or 6 games a year... I buy way more then 6 games in a year.

I've pre-order many games off Gamestop website... about 6 or so of them were overnight shipping.

All of them I got on release day.

Pttf Keyboad only is pro.. the mouse is for lamers...

Anywho all joking aside...

I was using a wired 360 controller but the D-pad sucks, it was messing me up.

I use a Gamemon USB Adaptor to use a PS2 contoller now.

Oh I just picked up a PowerA Elite Wireless Controller for PS3 from Walmart for $30 and it works on the PC without that whole motionjoy/ds3 driver crap.

There is Pro Elite version of the same controller at is $50 (it changes, vs the one I have that just uses batterys)

I got the controller for FPS games on the PS3, Because it's kinda like a 360 controller.

The only really good Final Fantasy games are number 5,6,7,9 and 12.

ignoring 11 because it was a MMO

Here my order of "best" numbered FF games 1st one being the best

6, 8, 7, 4, and 10

Didn't play 1, 2, 3, 5, or 9

10-2 had a awfull story, and 12's combat system sucked ass... never beat them for the reasons stated

13 I have mixed feelings toward because it was just ok.. ok story with ok gameplay... just too linear for the bulk of the game.

I've order many things off Gamestops site.

As long as you overnight it, it will should there on release day.

It has always worked for me, and I've bought 6 games like that.

My last game ordered like that, Starcraft 2, was at my door at around noon release day.

Both are fine sites order from.

Hmm a 'nice' thread just for rambling. Sure I'll bite. I am anxiously awaiting the game as well. I ordered my CE edition via Gamestop and realized yesterday that GS delivery (even overnight) wouldn't get here until the 24th. On the good side, someone pointed out that Amazon has a .99 delivery opening day so I ordered a second copy that will get here first.

I am looking forward to most of the game but am completely hooked on (pun intended) fishing. Make money, couple it with cooking and just while away the hours. It's even a button un-intensive enough skill that I can do it (eventually) on the PS3 late into the evening while the wife sleeps! (More button intensive skills/games keep her awake so I get banished!)

The CE won't make it until the 24th?? I thought it was a guaranteed street date or the shipping money back? I might just have to pre-order it from somewhere else if that applies to everyone. :(

 Amazon is same day, 22nd. Gamestop said on the order (you have to log in to check your account) that is 'ready' on the 22nd but to allow a day for processing and a day for shipping. To me that means 24th. I wasn't going to take a chance.

Ever game I've ordered off GS website with overnight shipping has gotten to me the day of release... and they all said that processing/shipping thing.

Last game I bought like this was Starcraft 2, before that it was Aion (which showed up a day early).

No buddy keys yet for this game.

Wrong.

The CE version does indeed come with a buddy pass, the Standard version does not... just have to wait until the 22th before we get it tho.

4th. Quest had you watch char animations and then you had to repeat them....npcs didnt do the animation. (bug but it was very annoying)

In the ones I've done, the NPCs will repeat the animations if you speak to them (activate them).

The emote Furidiam is talking about are the kids in Gridania...

the text is confusing on 2 of the kids (how the hell does wave 3 times = lookout or showing joy with joy in Italic = surprise)

and they don't do the animations... it was really annoying, having to find the right emote.

Ul'dah was pretty annoying too when you had to do the emotes to the guys on the stage.

The only things that really bother me are:

1. Ability to change keybinds. This is a must for a PC game.

You can now... it's been put in with the open beta.

It's in the config in-game.
