Thanks sov, would you recommend any server? Or are they all about the same?

On launch day for the standard edition it took about 6 to 8 hours to download the updates
Against everyone's recommendation, you are going to go out and buy it anyways? Well, good luck. You cant's say you weren't warned.
The moment I read "It's like" or "WoW" is the moment I stop reading your post.
Three scenarios:
1. The patcher will work fine and you'll get 1mb/sec
2. The patcher will shit the bed and you'll get 0-16kb/sec
3. They fixed the patcher.
If you end up with number one, it won't take long at all. There isn't much to download.
If you end up with number two, it could take you quite awhile.
Forward the ports the patcher uses if it's giving you problems. I'm not saying it's a 100% garunteed fix, but it worked for me.
UDP - 55296 - 55551
TCP - 54992 - 55551
UDP - 443
What are you giving up on?

Hm I would guess about makeing a picture about the game only based on the forums and several 'funny' youtube videos. Makeing an own opinion is always a good choice in my point of view, even as I would advice a buddy key by the current opinion from a lot of people. but if you have the money it should be no problem at all.
As for servers I would say Besaid would be a good choice or Lindblum.
I have been avoiding the game due too the huge amount of bad reviews, I have to see the game for myself.
I was a big FFXI fan and am disappointed on what I have been hearing...need to see it with my own eyes.

That's cool. I know what you mean. I agree you should check it out free if possible. Seriously that first bite of "OMG I paid for this?" really stings.
I didn't elect to play after the betas but I have had that feeling multiple times in the past. With something you really feel strongly towards like an IP that you grew up with, the feeling is enhanced to ridiculous. So I strongly recommend you get a buddy key etc. before buying it.

Hard to say. I have a character on Trabia (which might be my permanent character and Besaid.
It seems like a person can only have one character per server as I tried making other characters for Besaid and it didn't come up as an option. Not sure why.
As far as installing, I had to install twice, The first time I installed the game which had a reasonable patch time and a second for my new machine.
also, a reasonable patch time. Less than an hour. I have regular dsl so your time could be even less than that.
My advice for the game is to play more like an old school game. Meaning, don't get caught up in the whole levequest grind. Do a few so you can get some money for some crafting tools (took me a bit to figure that one out as you will speak to an npc that says "we have everything here for crafting" yet I couldn't find tools Seems they were all in the town in the market area) and then go out and explore, kill some monsters, figure out crafting if that's your thing.
I mean, in Lineage 2 I would go to a field and grind mobs. The same can work just as well. Of course, if you want to do the guild leves youc an do them, the xp and money are helpful and they are a way to get some progression in.
Personally I think the main stories are done really well.
Oh, and for my money the two best cities/towns are, in this order, Gridania, Lima Limosa (or whatver it's called. the last one, the desert city is pretty but the story didn't grab me. I'll be continuing to see if it gets better. Essentiall you get to pick your starter city.
And by "best" I mean as far as the first story parts with cut scenes and characters. I really like Gridania. Also, the area is very beautiful. However, it's a bit more linear feelign than the other two places. Still I don't mind.

Losing out of the £30 is no biggie for me, I have spent more on worse things lol.
And I am really weird, I can’t play trials...I have to have the full game to actually test it out

I felt exactly the same way, so bought a copy a couple of weeks ago after the 60 Day extension. It was installed on my PC for the grand total of 9 days, in wich time I reached level in 22 Thau, and about 15 or so in a couple of crafts. The box is now sandwiched between my copy of Tabula Rasa and Auto Assault.
It's rare that the whining and angst on this site is actually valid, but in this case mmorpg.com forum users, I salute you.

You can make more than one charakter ona server actually, but the servers are sometimes blocked for new charakters if there is reached a certain population limit on the server, in order to make them not overfilled. They normally get removed after some time passed as far I know.
Some people sort of hed the bad luck to redo a charakter and than the server was not an option anymore because someone else took that place or they just kept up the limitation. I am not exactly sure how that system works.
well then you might as well not bother there isnt a Full game there yet.
Thanks allot for the info sov, I am in no rush to get to max level and I do not mind grinding at all, I actually find it relaxing.

Frogs are sneaky by nature.
But you have to raise an eyebrow to someone that posts they'd rather pay to trial a game that's rated at this level than try it out for free. That's just not natural. LoL
"losing out on 30 is no biggie for me" HAHAHAHA you are silly.
Go for it and add your voice to the discussion.

Well that's why I wanted to try it. the visuals looked stunning but people were really down on a variety of things. However, some of the things they didn't like were really non-issues to me.
I'm used to jut grinding mobs and find it relaxing so not a biggie. the interface thing isn't really an issue for me either. So I have to do things differently? So what!. I some cases, especiallyy crafting, it's a bit drawn out. But "whatever".
I get a small amount of interface lag but the game is rather slow movign anyways so it really isn't a big deal. I was able to figure out most of the issues that players had problems with within a minute or two so being stumped by "what do I do" wasn't an issue.
I mean things like how to move the map "I,J,K,L" or when you die just open your menu and hit the "return" option, or just finding the first camp you have to go to.
About finding the first camp you have to go to: Even though the npc shows you, after you open the map you won't see where it is. So just leave the area you are in and go to the next map and you will see it. But as a pointer, for Gridania it's south, Lima Limosa it's east and Uldanai or (again) whatever these places are called, it's north (I think that's right, just tried for the first time yesterday).
Also, you have to adopt a more whimsical approach to the mobs in the game. At least on the lower lvls. Yes, you might fight a small ferret or small mouse but these are killer ferrets and mice. Not to be toyed with!
Oh, and you can die reasonably easy so don't let it surprise you. Stay away from dodos at lvl one. even though they con what should be a reasonble fight color.

Hehe sure if the patcher takes you a lot to download patches go to my documents in the final fantasy xiv folder and download them with utorrent or something else.
Also if you use xfire I switch it on while playing ffxiv I'm not able to browse with it (It just stand there with a black screen and on 1000 or more fps lol) but I can chat and watch what's the time and take pics :P
So if you want you can add me.

@OP: good luck with your try out with all the foreknowledge you've gathered, will be interesting to see what your impression will be.

The guy answers your question, how dare he!
Let us know what you think of the game after some play time Sgt Frog. Your opinion on matters tend to coincide with mine quite often and you tend to be one of the more level headed posters around here.
Well, besides your fetish for frogs anyways.
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
If you ever need some tips or help pm me sgtfrog if you go on other servers
There's a gadget you can download if you use windows 7 or vista to see how much time left remains for the leves to reset so you can take them again (Very handy)
Also for now till they add the search retainer http://ffxiv.yg.com/ you can check for items AND it tells if you anyone is selling them ingame!!! (It takes some time to update but it works)

Here something new from you: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/446/view/forums/thread/297031/page/6
Were did you get the 80% it's just a wild guess no one can know unless there's this holy site every person that plays polls in it and only them use the poll which will never happen.
I don't get what's the fuss with you and SE and I don't really care. You stopped playing the game although still persisting on baiting others to flame you so you can report them.
Same thing happened/happens in mortal online people just can't giveup on trolling a game they no longer play.
