I like fishing. That and all my friends that quit XI will be in XIV, so that's good too.

My wife and I with a bunch of friends will be on Besaid as well. Let me know what your character names are when the time comes. I don't think I'm going to stick with my current character name...

Stop! You've voilated the law!

It's always worth playing.

This is neat. But yeah, they were working on it. I mean, they made one for XI. I would think one for XIV would come out eventually. Even if it's not really in yet. I wonder if some of the complaints will change now?

They will change... to something else.  At least around here.  Do you see the people that complain?  They have been running around complaining about multiple things for weeks now after already saying they won't be playing or buying the game.  If they haven't stopped now they won't stop until another game comes along they can complain about.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

The servers are good. You'll be fine. It's all good.

Hope you have tons of fun in the game.

Don't know if anyone has offered yet, but if you'd want, you could come to Valefor. Just let me know if you decide to.

More solo friendly, yes. More efficient than partying? Of course not. Partying is always and always will be the fastest. But not getting completely stomped by EP's for 20exp a kill with downtime inbetween each one is definitely more friendly I'd say. With Campaign and Besieged, you don't even need to bother with partying. Is it slower? Yeah, but that's how it's meant to be. This game has come a long way from what soloing was in the past.

The weapon trials are kinda' funny, because they can usually be done with parties. Sure, the finishing blow ones on a certain elemental day or whatever kinda' sucks. But the difference is that you just aren't stuck with that one weapon to use for your game and you can do whatever else you'd like. It is kinda' funny to see a bunch of people with the same kill x mobs running around in the same zone seperate instead of a party, making things take much longer for everyone.

I think Tanaka got upset.

Of course they still haven't said what it is. But I'm guessing it's not what everyone thinks it is?

Huh. Not bad. I don't know if I'll bother with Open Beta. Kinda' just want to get into the game on the first go around and learn as I go. That was one of the things I still remember from XI. It will be great to leap in head first.

POL username is four letters and four numbers. The password has to be at least 7 characters long I believe.

those are some of the grand fathers of MMO's.The only way I will try FFXIV is if I get into some form of beta.Otherwise Im not wasting my money on a game that already looks majorly boring.

Aw, come on. Don't leave us hanging. You gotta at least explain why it will never amount, even though FFXI is almost as old as them.

Also, looks can be deceiving. Beta means nothing.

I think I'll sum up my complaints with a barely related example. I've been playing MMOs since just after their infancy. They may have started eating solid foods about the time I started playing and hadn't yet started forming coherant acronyms. In all that time I have only ever once had an MMO company delete my characters and account, and inform me that I would have to buy a new copy of the game and start over because I had spent too much time before attempting to resubscribe. I can still log into Everquest and log in my original character that I made the day I bought the game. I can log into anarchy online and my characters are still there, and I never played that past the free month.

SquareEnix doesn't give a crap about any of you or what you want. Just make sure to pay for the subscription every month because apparently the price of data storage in Japan is only slightly less than an apartment rental. They can't afford to keep that up for free, you free loading non-subscribers.

Should pobably take that to the FFXI forum. That point is pretty outdated and pointless, or I would agree with you.

Yes.

You need to change the resolution in the POL config for it to affect the game. There are registry hacks though to make it an even better resolution. I think the game resolution caps at 1024x1024 or something.

Check this out for how to make it look better: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Graphics

I'll be playing both.

You should have all the current stuff up to maybe a few updates. The Playonline server is capped at a certain speed pretty much. It's not that big actually. The whole game is like 10GB max. It just takes a while. Although, 9 hours is a pretty long time, unless you're on dial up. Either way, just wait it out. You won't be hitting your cap with this game.

I use an AIRFLO. Those are kinda' hard to find now since they don't make them anymore. They work great though. The only bad thing about it is there is no rumble for it. But if you have a 360 controller, those work pretty well too.
