Just registered by open beta code !

Will be joining Masamune ! I have registered too in Crystalier forum but the recruitment page is empty... pls advise 

Need advise on;
1) Can I use credit card rather than Crysta points when paying the monthly subscription ?
2) Can I just use password rather than a security token ?

Though i see many sad and angry fans with negative reviews on crossovers. It's like they're hit in the face after supporting from ff1 to ff13. Now u get to play ff14 with possibility of appearance of these characters springing back to life in eorzea world with only a modest sum of monthly fee.

Let's hope Yoshida will ignore those silly reviews and proceed with this promising implementations. It's indeed a strong plus point to attract back ff14 subscribers.*those who were in ff14 1.0 and quit*
We had numerous tonnes of mmorpg everywhere with many unique storylines.Getting only a new storyline is just common these days. Unlike using elements from various ff series under SE. This is an ultimate card that Yoshida should abuse on. Because no other games to date had that upperhand.
We're also looking upon a new mmo fast pace game that resembles ff13 combat system.

FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Producer and Director Yoshida here.

Thank you for all the feedback and discussion in regards to the collaboration between LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII and FFXIV: A Realm Reborn that was announced at E3 and Japan Expo. While I was reading over all the comments and writing a post, I thought that there needs to be a clear explanation and decided to create this thread.

The Japan Expo stage is a place where people that like Japanese sub-culture gather and we focused on the below attractive aspects for our presentation:

• Lightning will be appearing in the world of FFXIV!
  
• Lightning and Snow costumes can be obtained in the world of FFXIV!
  

As a result, I believe there are some of you who are concerned with the implications for the lore of FFXIV: ARR and the world of Eorzea and thought, "Why are you shoehorning Lightning into FFXIV?" or "Is the game just going to be filled with other with FF characters?"

This is the first time we've tried having a FINAL FANTASY series character make an appearance in another world in a numbered FINAL FANTASY title. After announcing this at Japan Expo, we will be having a detailed meeting with the LIGHTNING team, but the general consensus between both teams is that "it shouldn’t just be a simple appearance."

• Why is Lightning in the world of Eorzea?
  
• Why is Lightning fighting in the world of Eorzea?
  
• What's the connection between adventurers and Lightning?
  
• And what will happen to Lightning after visiting Eorzea?
  

The story that answers these questions is already being created and it will also be related to the Lightning saga. This is not just a Lightning clone showing up in Eorzea; it is the one and only Lightning. We are also creating a lot of character dialogue for Lightning as well as special cut scenes. We've established a proper story, and I hope you're excited to see it.

Also, in regards to future collaborations with other FF series, we will be adhering to the below principles:

• We will never introduce characters that would destroy their meaning or story
  
• We will not use characters that are already dead or whose role has ended in their title
  

For example, "Red XIII" who appeared in FFVII.
I believe we mentioned "Red XIV" as a joke before, but Red XIII has a very rare and specific role in the world of FFVII. If he was wandering around the world of Eorzea it would destroy the image of the world of FFVII, so this can’t happen.
This is just a simple example of what we mean.

Leading up to my involvement with FFXIV, I've always been a fan of the FF series just like everyone else. Because of that, I want to keep the lore important and consider the storyline in its entirety, so please don't be worried when it comes to this.

P.S.
When it comes to Minions, however, we are going to completely run with it.

i've got the open beta invitation for ps3 ^^ so any advice from ppl that had already tried the game?

Holy moly...I just watched the ARR trailer...the one where Bahamut came out of the moon and...and...I am speechless, that old man's expression...This CG actually made me cried!!! There's never a CG that made me cry, plus in such a short time!!!  This gotta be the best CG ever made!!! Anyone know of any CG can top that? Please, I beg to know!!

And the lyrics...

Tell us why, given life, we are meant to die...

My life is a riddle to bear rupture & sorrow,
To listen to suffer and to entrust till tomorrow,
...
In the same fleeting moment thou shall live, die and know...

Total. Genius.
Initially I bought the pre-order just because it's FF and wanna show some support, knowing almost nothing about it...but now I think I just signed up for something epic...

Now I am very very interested in this game...is there a list of "what I shouldn't miss knowing"?

  The wordings in the game map still looks like doctor writing... do any of you guys here find it difficult to read ?

Ic guess ima go around n checkout some info bout this game...
Still waiting for se to send me the code though

When is the earliest I can jump into the game?
When is beta phase 4?
How about char creation?

And, just want to make sure my understanding is correct: I get the 18 digit code, but I can't any place to put it right now. Do I have to wait till open beta before I can use the code?

somewhat concerned here, i registered for beta as EU account but SQE sent me a NA beta key instead and i made a new NA account just for that.
Don't know which version SQE will give us or if better we can choose which region code we wanna use? Damn confusing.

Guys,

Since i have pre-ordered the CE. I got the 'pre-order' code.
Will this code grant me the Beta access for Phase 4? or Should I use my Beta code to go to the Phase 4 beta?
[Edit]
It appears that the "Add a service account" is currently not available for FF 14 under the Service Account page yet.
Does this means that we cannot add our Pre-Order account code yet?

Can someone please confirm this?

Thanks

guys, i am planning to pre-order ff14 on greenmangaming as shojikun suggested. Does the collector's edition for digital download include the soundtrack etc?

And will pre-ordering the game allow me to play in beta phase 4?

Oh  are the items useful? haha. what about the beta phase 4 part, can i play it once i pre-purchased it from gmg?

Okay thank  . How do i go about getting the beta registration access code?

shoji, I saw you in the beta tester forum. Your id is ShojiKa...something.

Pre-ordered a digital CE copy from Greemangaming. See you guys in Tonberry! 

Hopefully there will be a LYN guild around.

I suggest, everybody should go to Tonberry if more Malaysian going there

cant stop them fr goin tonberry lol just hope halfway through they decided to U-turn n join us in masamune lol

^^" u see they try to push again...they now said don't need healer/tank @@"

Seems everyone is getting edgy again. Haha.

Say, the character creation benchmark will be released soon, right?

Can we like fiddle around with the creator or anything?
