Applications for the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test have been temporarily suspended. Please wait until we are ready to accept new applications and then try again.

Im betting on release, saving up cash for a GT460/480 in future. upon release is my final decision to either continue on ATI or going for nVidia.

oh? really? how? and can i really level up and play ff online without getting those gathering skills? or is it a must?
