Well thanks for the plethora of answers! I guess I know now, and at least the server overhaul on Wednesday will alleviate problems for everyone, and now everyone gets 7 more days of free time. Regardless, I am a little upset because I took time out …
I'm not saying this service is excusable, but already posting a rating based on one day of release is very amateurish, and titling your article "Great game, Poor Service PART ONE" is unprofessional. This is the best MMO experience I've had in a bou…
I read a wealth of misinformation in this thread, so I'm going to lay this out simply. This game is trinity to the bone, it's a revamp of your classic MMO with all the wonderful polish that would have been added on through a few years of being out. …
A huge money sink of a series, they come out with countless expacs at 20-30 bucks a pop for a few pieces of added furniture and features that should have been added at release (offices, certain careers, PETS! (like wtf, every sims makes this an expa…
OP, I don't think the races were listed. But just stick with a Chocobo, you won't have this issue then. I don't know whose idea it was to add all these terrible mount options, but everyone on Chocobo strides it--so this shouldn't be an issue then.
FFXIV was made to cater to pretty much every crowd, not just casual players. There is a casual element in that you can level completely alone, but you can't complete the story alone--you will need to group often for dungeons and primal battles, even…
Just FYI those are from the original 1.0 version of the game as far as I can tell. The graphics were much more robust then, and the terrain mapping is from 1.0. Also the pictures of LL and old Coerthas give it away. Still awesome though.

I heard today that 9th August confirmed for Open Beta? Is this true?
People speculate it will be then because of the time-frame given after the scheduled Developers Letter on August 8th. Open beta needs at l…
Just to let everyone know Musketeer is a class and not a job, the Musketeer guild was/is in Limsa Lominsa. Musketeer will most likely unlock Corsair and Gambler classes. ARC/MSK will most like unlock Ranger. WAR/THM will most like unlock Dark Knight…
I want to preface my response to this post with this, by responding we are feeding the fire--we prolong the life of a rather useless post that really has nothing to contribute to the discussion of the future of this game. It is obvious the OP has sp…

Sadface is ultimate :c
I beg …
I foresee each individual class, I.E. Marauder, Archer, Lancer, Conjurer, Thaumature, ect. getting more Jobs that pair with them. For example:
Marauder: Warrior, Dark Knight, Beserker
Archer: Bard, Beastmaster, Ranger
Thaumaturge: Black Mage, Ge…
To add on to that, the armor for each class can be saved as a set. Sets allow you to switch class/job without having to individually re-equip your gear. It allows you to change class and armor with just a click of a button.
Instead of talent trees they allow you to pull skills from other classes/jobs and apply them to your current profession. Although Jobs are more limited than classes in what they can choose, their roles are also more defined. And from what I hear the…
Honestly, I am a previous FFXI player and have played FFXIV since beta 1.0--stuck around because the community was so incredibly solid. Anyways, the game's are completely incomparable and yet totally relatable. I got to play on my previous character…

While the combat is nothing special, i'm surprised there aren't more complaints about other stuff, such as:

1) Where is the Hook? 2) What am I missing out on? 3)Should I continue leveling my lancer to level 20? Perhaps Lancer is not for me, perhaps FFXIV is not for me Idk ._.
Yeah, definitely continue to 20. And read the story line! It gets really g…
Ah you are the guy who commented on the image I posted in my gallery.
This game is called Final Fantasy for a reason--it is a fantasy game. Having this "little baby" running around on a bird is no less realistic than having a an elf casting fireba…
