he gives free boobs bouncing show too

I still think single player story quests & class quests is dumb.

MMO is not single player game. They should change so people have the option of inviting friends to help in the quests.

already bought, just test kao kao for a month, should be enough to reach high lvl content.
I'm waiting for Wildstar which is expected to be launch around Q4, but at the meantime nothing else to play and i enjoice the company from the FC and the game as well.

This is my opinion and my thoughts only.

Honestly I care non for the English beta forum. For me their discussion looks like kids war, everyone think their opinion is the best and must not be countered. Someone may not like some aspect of the game, but that "some aspect" might not annoyed other players and these "other players" either just accept it or even like it. It's a never ending loop. No one game can cater to all the taste of the individual gamers. There's one exception though, when one aspect really fail to amuse the large public, then it will be listened to and actions taken upon to remedy it. For example the failure of 1.0 and the constant upgrade and remake of the game. So maybe if you really don't like some parts of the game system, please do not force other to accept how you feel. Best action should be posting your feedback to SE on the feedback forum. The English forum is just a troll paradise where every fans is bored till the next playable test date, and thus just watch every new threads/post like a vulcher.

For my own thoughts of the game. Well, I really like it. If you ask me to give a personal score, I would give 9/10. Not max because I'm concern with the job system, and leveling pace. I felt that the pace is too fast but maybe it's due to beta and everything concerning leveling is sped up. If however this is actually the pace during launch, I will accept it since I do not think it's such a big deal for myself.
- Graphics is really good, superb actually. TERA nor GW2 which are hyped on graphics can't even compete at this level.
- Character motions and visuals are just too pretty and fluid.
- Gameplay such as FATE, quest seeking, guildhest, leves, dungeons, well, just like any other mmos so nothing special.
- Battle system is so-so on the approach factor. However it's excellent in action-graphic-wise. I do agree it need to be tweaked.
- Class/Job system. The only mmo nowadays that let you have all in one character which why I fell in love with the game.
- Sound/Music is superb and can never be heard from other mmos. 

This is getting long, but my final thoughts on why the game will not fail me is due to the development team. I left 1.0 after 2 or 3 weeks, can't remember, around time when the producer letter starts or when feedbacks were asked. Seriously, I never thought that the communication between the development team and the community players continue until now. This is the first game that I have seen that the communication between both party is so strong. Dev Team do look at the feedbacks and if it's valid in their point of view, they will carried it out. Best thing is from time to time they'll show players what's to be expected. From what I've seen, and if FF14 is anything like FF11 in the evolution aspect. I strongly believe that there'll be lots of content during end-game as well. However this remain to be questioned since at beta we won't know for sure.

Anyway, I do suggest that don't be too picky. If one aspect really put you off to enjoy the game as a whole, my advice is well, give feedback to the dev team (not to the trolls in general discussion in beta forum). If no improvement is made (in your own opinion), either accept or put the game down.

Last short story. I've introduced the game to 4 friends of mine. We met in other mmo 3 yrs back and remain friends and kept contact with skype/wataspp etc. I've got them 4 beta keys. They tested on it last friday-sunday. Today they're all in depression and complained the 2 day test short period lol. They've never seen such beautiful mmos, and can change class on-the-go. They usually don't have sound switch on since we're on skype, but I told them to turn on the volume, they're mesmerized by the quality of the music. These are 4 people who always spend alot in F2P mmo with cash shops, and they now never want to go back to those mmo they were playing.  The fact that their english is primary school standard, and they're enjoying the game, it's already a success for the dev team.

the beta over already? only managed to get level 11.. no next beta?

all those boobs in this game really makes me think twice of continuing my male char...

Tak boleh ni then i cant troll people with my female character.I cant roleplay at all after this somemore..

Btw phase 4 = preorder player only right?

But the GMG one is EU version just for your info.

I for one think single player story quest is a good thing. You should not force people to party up just to advanced in game story.
That was the main issue i have with FF11. Everything is LFG LFG LFG...... everyone sit around with LFG. Not in group means no advancement. I do not mean to be anti-social, but it is not very rewarding to sit around 40 mins everyday to LFG, not everyone has all the time in the world to LFG or has a static group of friends to play with.

Transferring to masamune... better do it quick.

Status of World Transfer Applications for Masamune and Aegis Worlds
We would like to notify our players that, in regards to the ongoing World transfer applications, the Masamune and Aegis Worlds are approaching the maximum number of applications allowed. Please be aware that we will stop accepting applications once a World maxes out and further transfers will not be possible.

Therefore, if you are planning on transferring to either the Masamune or Aegis World, please submit your application at the earliest possible time. In addition, if you are intending on transferring in a large group such as a linkshell, there may be a possibility that the World will max out and not all members of the group will complete the transfer. Because of this, please also consider transferring to a different World.

* If applications from the Masamune and Aegis Worlds to other Worlds increase, we may accept further applications for the two Worlds after reviewing their population count.

I totally ignored that © thing. :3

Anyway, thinking of testing out US server next time. See how's the latency goes.
Even with duty finder in place, language barrier will become a problem on Japanese server. OK OK I know there is sort of auto translation in there but I won't really count on it.

Hmm, i dun understand y the beta only occur on weekends? aint it better to go live 24/7 during the beta period to gather as much information as possible? 12 days beta test in a month span aint justify that.

No, it will have some space for new players.
