Any news on the CE for SEA and if we wanna play the game should by US or EU? Sorry if my questions sound stupid ><

there wont be a SEA version.. so you ought to get either US or EU

get US for cheaper subscription price thou. will waiting for local retailers to get some of it.

Hope the local retailers will come out with a reasonable price for the CE especially.

so just use something like hot spot shield create NA account. Well I guess it's CE digital version for me then =D

yea if you wanna pre-order via SE store, you will need to proxy your connection to US ip and create an NA account, billing, etc. think CC will be ok i guess... just need to bypass the store's IP detection.

I'm a little worried though about bypassing the ip via vpn and getting the pre-order. Afraid that after that can't get the game lol... it ain't cheap T_T

as long is proxied/vpned you should be fine in downloading the game.

how about using a US open DNS?

you can go and test for me? Sorry because i would go for EU since my 1.0 account is EU :< haha.

attempting it now hahahah.. well ping wise US or EU better?

US and JP server better, there will be many english speaker in JP server as well.. no fret.

JP server im getting 150ms++ actually O_O suprising well aint it.

I wonder which version local retailers sell.

@shojikun wow 150ms is pretty good LOL.. well 200 ping is fine as long as it's stable.. ok need to use vpn or proxy to create NA account for pre-order =(

@Vickyle any talks on local retailers on bringing the game here?

I have talked to two lowyat retailers
Heavyarm and pbbseller

How big will the game download be anyway?? btw do u guys think phase 4 beta client
will be the same game files as the launch version???

Are you sure there are going to be enough english players in the JP servers?
Since now got US servers, people might segregate themselves and then we are forced to go for US servers(higher ping) unless we all go learn japanese

Still won't know how this will play out.

roughly 20gb++ at launch

Hmm well probably lol xD

Hello all!

Fernehalwes here.

I know a lot of you guys have already seen the new box art (on sale August 27th, pre-order yours today), but thought you might be interested in how else it is being used. First, I found this massive tapestry on display in one of the dev team meeting areas:


*click on image to see bigger picture

Rumor has it that all of the gear shown here is actually in the game! Which would mean that bookish beauty in the mortar board on the far right is...!!!

Ahem! I also saw these sweet signed posters drying on the desk outside the director's booth:



Now tell me those wouldn't look good in any steakhouse, rumpus room, or dental clinic waiting area.

I would have signed them as well, but they ran out of room and it was either me or Art Director Akihiko Yoshida. I let the poor guy have it....this time.
