You can join up to 8 Linkshells (unlike FFXI, Linkpearls in FFXIV do not take up inventory space) and it is possibe to follow the chat of your different Linkshells simultaneously - messages are differentiated with a [number] in front of the message.
What I like most -- or better put -- look forward to the most in FFXIV is the complexity of character building. There are so much factors to keep in mind that it wil give mix/maxers a good run for they're money.
First there are the basic stats and…

Actually, I think that would be a nice feature. Since it's a marketplace, maybe they could add some type of auto-shout function to the Retainer mana…
Originally posted by cheyane I may be completely wrong but I had the impression that the crafts were done by different characters. You had to have a special crafter character created so having one adventuring and another character crafting. You woul…
I'v recently caught on to a (confirmed) rumor that Alchemy will have recipes to transform crystals to shards (1x crystal + 1x fine sand). Since Shards are an important ingredient in many other recipes, this could prove to be lucrative.

Closed Beta applications end on august 16th, Open Beta applications are announced for the near future. So probably Open Beta around early to mid-september I guess.
If you want to be able to follow the storylines and/or understand the game mechanics. Then no, there is no need to go through all the previous titles in the franchise to "get it". As said before, every new Roman nummeral means a new Final Fantasy, s…
