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!

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.

Spent all my hours doing Behest & Leves for the past month.. All because SE is going to banish it
Feel so outdated now, don't have time to get my Legend items from Hamlet, Skirmish.

Cause you are in Balmung server.
(joking)

Well, the entire population are mostly gathering in the city of Uldah, everyone gathers there to look for a party,
You can use the party search too, but there arent many low level party going on right now, maybe after the 2.0 launch, that will get players to play new class.

/welcome

So Server going off @ 11 Nov? Is it confirmed?
I have soooo much more achievements to catch up!!

Woohoo!

Got selected as "Alpha Tester" 2 hours ago
*Plays the FF victory song*

Anyone else in? (:

I think you can only apply as Alpha tester when they send out the link for application. It's closed now. You have to wait for beta application.

Already got first error .
After installation and downloading the patch.
I got my first error : Error 10000, before even getting into the character creation.

How sad.

oh well im in chocobo server if anyone else got the invite.

The setup is only 108MB . After installing, it is followed by the update, which for me took about only an hour.

The game is still restricted in many ways.
For eg: we can only use two race at the moment, Hyur and Miqote Seeker of the sun. Yeah.. so whatever Lalafell screenshots is a lie.

However, the graphics is LEGAN, wait for it... DARY ! However this awesome graphics hurts my eyes only after an hour play, probably it is because of the awesomeness that cause me to blink less. I do believe it will be great playing on a 42" tv

Game play is totally different, I am not sure if its the set-up, but it seems like I can only view the game from the back of my character. No matter how I turn the screen, the character follows, I have tried ways to look at my character's face, but it is not possible except during cut-scenes. In short, you can only turn using the mouse, W,A,S,D are movements. Currently playing lancer.

Quest seems to be lot fun compared to V 1.0 . You have a map which have the "!" and you can just run there talk to that chap, and it will lead you to you next destination with another ">" on the map. Just started, and already I have a list load of quest which provides tutorial at the same time. This is definitely a great way to assist new players.

Minimaps and maps are zoom-able.

Well, these are the updates for you guys, at the moment, I hear that the next email blast invitation is today. So.. Good luck!.

Yay, Finally a date to look forward to: 25th Feb

Now I can get ready to dump RO2,
Geez. seriously, when you start comparing the developers. Square Enix is so much better.
At least they test the damn raids themselves first before making it available to public.

f2p cause they are not confidence enough in their product!!

Possible to change race? I want to be male cat!
