Yeah, small crowd.

From my point of view, it's not prettier, it's the other way round, probably my taste is different I hope I can customize the UI design to my taste.

To me, FFXIV ARR's map, the battle system, the battle actions and the UI is different - great changes. I get to play a new game with my old character

The "auction house" list in the market wards is working fine though, but I welcome improved version of "auction house" system

Well at least in his video the map world actually looks different rather than the old hey this part looks exactly same as the other part i went by 10 mins ago feel.

If only the auction house is accessible anywhere without going to the wards. XD

where to buy this game ? serial key needed? or mthly sub? if mth sub where can i buy if i dun wan to use on9 payment.. tq

You need a serial key to create a FFXIV account.
You need to pay subscription free (1/3/6 month period) to play on the account.

Warning:
1.) Accounts are "region-locked". It means you will be paying US Dollar if your account is under North America (NA); you will be paying euro if your account is under European Union (EU); etc. So, you have to know which game you are buying - NA or EU.
2.) Regarding subscription payment, every countries have different payment options. It means, if you choose Brunei (only for EU), you are only given two payment options - you either use (1) credit card/debit card, or (2) Click and Buy [Third party company who handles payment for Square Enix]. I have heard certain countries has other payment method like buying some kind of reload cards

Note:
Final Fantasy XIV (version 1.0) is ending very soon. Servers will be closing to prepare for data transfer to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (version 2.0). In the mean time, FFXIV:ARR alpha and beta servers will be up.

thank you very much - Vickyle
very detail...server will close for how long..am i allow to join the beta if i buy this game? or i shd wait for 2013? i dun mind to play beta until 2013...

Server will be close approximately maybe 1 month ~ 2 months, possibly up to January 2013. for beta access from what i can gather info right now is that people who sign up during the Gamescom 2012 and some lucky Legacy players will be able to join in the beta... . Other information regarding beta sign up are still in the clouds~ ><

First of all, Congratulations on V6!

After the Diablo III launch which has got most players missing from FFXIV, I am proud to say that most of us are back to the game.
FFXIV under the management of Naoki Yoshida has certainly showed improvement in terms of gameplay, and we are all looking forward to 2.0
As showed in Gamescon, the game will improve significantly in terms of U.I speed. (Which means no more waiting for 5 sec delay when changing classes or selecting leves! Woohoo!)

For those who are new to Masamune, Welcome!
You can find the list of linkshelles in Masamune in the link here:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads...-Linkshell-List

I personally joined a few link shells who players come mostly from S.E.A and Australia:
Linkshell Name: Avan Guardians
Linkshell Name: Gilgamesh
Linkshell Name: Thanalan Alliance
Linkshell Name: Chocobo Knights of the Apocalypse

Hope this helps!

welcome back mercy....

No worries i will be here for Final Fantasy! tried during the beta on 2010 ahahah
Anyhow,question first! .....how about subscriptions? Monthly payment?
Cheers

Hye All, i willing to play this FFXIV but i don't know how to play it. i read that player from SOE such as malaysia and singapore had a problem to pay the monthly payment because Square-Enix not list our country when we want to register the account. and if we choose Brunei ( our neighbour ), credit/debit card from that register at malaysia bank was rejected...

can anybody teach or suggest to me how can i play this game ?

That's weird. I am registered under Brunei with Malaysia address, and am using my father's credit card (VISA), and never has any problem.

There is now a more option to pay, but i suggest you either wait for 2013 relaunch because the server might get close in 2-3 months time to make way for it's reboot launch next year... .

Im using Brunei as address and using maybankard mastercard to pay for it no problem.

he got old info kut... . since he said SOE, sony got nothing to do with Square Enix o_O or maybe he misspell it... .

The game is Pay to Play. Monthly payments. about 12USD per month. Can pay by credit card.
If interested, post here, I am sure most of us will be happy to help you out in the quest to Defend EORZEA!

Added on August 30, 2012, 8:02 pmI am sure that are plenty of ways. Here is mine.
1st: buy the game, I got mine by asking my friend in AU to buy it for me. u can get online too from games website like amazon.
This will take awhile, so before I continue with further steps, you should get the game first.

For me, payment is by credit card, so I have no problems on that.
