server r unified, wut u heard bout region lock is that if u register using NA u cannot use EU to update ur personal info payment etc etc.

new graphic option though wonder how much performance hit if i turn it on........

im heading to korea in september hopefully can find this game on the shelf.

I just won another beta key from my main ffxi account, anyone want to try the beta?

se must think we all have south korea or japan super high speed internet or something, yet another 3.35 gig update today i didnt even get to finish the last one.......

funny thing is all that was changed is a price of a log......... they must have never think of just update the single file instead of the whole package; ;

if u dont want securecode get a EU version . securecode is only for US.

Dont think i can play till next week ; ;

Shojikun requested the email and gave my uk beta key to him.

it seems a few ppl running the benchmark crashed, but the beta seems fine for them i wouldnt worry too much bout it its based on alpha code.

u should also note ati currently has problems with the game, almost everyone on beta with ati card is hit with the low fps bug.

ff11 suck 7 years of my life................

hmmm 92% downloaded ; ;

o didnt know there is a new 15............ o man this sucks big time how they expect anyone to actually play the damn thing if they wanna update it every 2 days ; ;

maybe u can send me the 3 new files then? lol

its in ur folder under documents my games it doesnt delete any of them

its the bug with ati gc for the drop with fps.

i think they mention ps3 version runs at half the pc resolution so if u r playing it on a monitor it might not look too sharp, will definitely recommend pc version if ur rig is up for it.

maybe can keep all the gils from the beta lol? idk i personally dont find any use for the beta account after release thats y i gave one to shojikun.

If u scare of SECURE CODE do not get the US version of the game, only US version has secure code implemented, ps3 version will probably lack secure code due to limitation.

SE only add secure code because of new law for online gaming.

simple if u dont have secure code or like malaysia credit card where secure code mostly dont work with final fantasy xi = U CAN'T PLAY ><!!

cpu overclocking dont help much, any quad core will run it fine since it runs up to 4 threads.

im running gtx480 its hot with reference cooler, but since i changed to icy vision it doesnt give me that much of a problem nowdays.
