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 

Hehehe when 2.0 is up .. everbody is arcanist   can have pets like curbuncle, ifrit etc

can DD and tank

This weekend should be beta phase 2 week 2.

Beta phase 2 lasts 1-3 weeks (subject to change).

Exam finished. Play! Play!

Recommend you to come back at open beta or at release time. Nothing much to do in beta phase 2, or is that not what you mean? 

if you read properly,

He mention partying with Pugilist, which there isn't a pugilist in Phase 1 & Phase 2.

He mention Levequest is exactly same like WoW's Dailies, which is obviously false.

He mention Chocobo-back fighting coming in future patch, which is wrong, is called Chocobo Buddy System, chocobo will be fightining beside you, not you riding a chocobo and attack.
I'm butthurt because is a Malaysian editor, very sad. wish i could email him and tell him properly to adjust his edition.

As a beta tester you should report the bug in the beta forum.
