masamune is old server wor...why dont we join NA server???the ping looks lower compare to others..

ping 300 and lower should be fine ...  we will be joining Cactuar for NA server  but most LYN forumers will join Tonberry/Masamune... well my advise is.. join the server where your friends will play 

well...LYN is my only friends in FFXIV LOL.

Oh my gawd...I done reading that link...turns out FF XIV has the most annoying type of crafting for a craft-hater like me...mainly due to the heavy dependencies...

I don't know...now, even Alchemist, Botanist, Chef & Fisher sounds annoying to me...even the gathering/crafting tool itself has dependencies...

Any craft-hater like me here? What's your plan?
Share some idea about what to do about crafting/gathering please.
What's the most minimum craft I need to pick-up as I level, so that I won't be too shabby in gil later?

tempted to play scholar over archer. shoji how!?!

It's not that I totally don't enjoy crafting. The only crafting I enjoyed:
- Ultima Online (the mother of all crafting...go look at the player's house...it's only limited by your creativity.)
- Shadowbane (in this one, you don't even craft yourself, just setup the crafter & vendors, then it's war-time for resources! You do the fun part, the NPCs do the boring part, GENIUS!)
- Allods Online & Age of Wushu (all crafting is a mini-game that is quite fun to play...it's quite fun for a while, but gets boring after sometime too...)

Can't find any other MMO with fun crafting...it's all the same:
Step 1: Move to the resource node.
Step 2: Click and wait some bar moving, till you get something.
Step 3: Move to some workbench, open a UI, click-click-click & wait some more bar moving...
Step 4: Repeatedly click at UI & watch bars moving till you get it...there's no challenge, no excitement...no new scenery...

Where's the fun??? It's soooo boring, waste of time and major time-sink...if not for the gil & survival, I would rather use my precious playtime on more exciting stuff like battle some monsters.

Well...anyway...I understand that's all up to personal preferences...
I am just seeking advice on how to get-by for a craft-hater like me

So, in short, just pick up all the gathering job and gather as I level area by area?
I read that even gatherer's tool are dependent on other crafters (such as carpenter & blacksmith for the tool you use to gather resources)...*sad face* Any NPC selling these?

wondering can ts create a poll where how many going to Masamune & Tonberry server??
Maybe a listing of players at front page of this thread?

I always been a fan of dragoon, inspired by The legends of dragoon.. lol..
but how is the performance of dragoon? I played the beta but didnt play much to understand this.. sifu pls helpppp

good taste, fyi they have the best looking end game armor imo lol
thought is pugilist 15, no? saw in lodestone

tis game nice? got raid one? the content good or not?

Crap, totally missed the first page post.

Anyway, I am thinking of pre-ordering a NA version. So whoever wants my EU code, I am willing to release it at a lower price. Note that mine is the Digital CE.

Just PM me if the price that you think that is appropriate.

That is not a problem for me. My office has a proxy in the US. I've tested with GMG and the region is stated as NA on the game.

is this game worth investing time/money in?

Sigh... still no news about Open Beta?

hmm how much download will be needed for this game? if wanna go for the open beta... i wanna try it out before trying in another mmorpg

I found out my ping with NA and europe servers are half as much compared to japan server.

Anyone else experiencing this ?

http://www.arrstatus.com/

yup..same here..using unifi 20m and 5m

The values displayed (ex.80ms) represent the delay between ARRstatus.com and FFXIV servers. These values are shown as a baseline to recognize when one server is experiencing higher load than another, and do not represent the delay from your network to FFXIV servers.

LoL I thought this 8th is just live letter....

And since they will announce it by then, and no news about OBT client dl yet... most probably this Sat or next week?

I can't wait too...quench the thirst by creating characters...
Created 12, only interested in playing 3...but will only have time playing 1...

Any armor gallery for FFXIV out there? Wanna check out how characters will look like, to help me decide which one to play as main.

Anyone know of any website with armor gallery for all races?

I will play till February next year.Need to play Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Returns till platinum then only resume back xiv
