FFXIV beta this Saturday, whos playing?
I have been busy gearing up in FFXIV on my PC for FFXIV PS4 beta/release. My jobs are 50pld, 50whm, 50sch, 50btn, and 50min. I have been dreaming of the days to play FFXIV on my PS4. I use to play FFXI on PS2 back in 2004. I am ready for some good old fashon nostalgia.
Some of my past FFXI highlights were getting rank 3, going to the dunes, getting my airship pass, NM farming and 3 boxing 3 360's I am really looking forward to making new memories on my PS4 in FFXIV. Phase 1 is 2/22~3/3 and that is all brand new character's. Phase 2 is 4/3~4/7 and thats is play on any server and use exsiting character's. Early release is 4/11 and release day is 4/14. if you want to play and need help starting out you can play on my server and I can help you out.
P.S.I should be on BF4 tonight and from Saturday here on out. I am trying to get my i70 gear set for my pld so I can farm on the PS4. I should have the full set by friday.

Update: My PC has seen better days, if it wasent for FFXIV I would be just using it to browse the web. 4/11/14 I am going to restore my PC to the factory settings and its just going to be used to browse the web. And from then on its going to be PS4 only for me because I can't afford to buy a Xbone and I for sure can't afford a new gaming computer!
I plan on trying this out, I'm glad they are doing a beta so I can see if I am willing to spend $15 a month to play this.
I downloaded it last night and will try it this weekend.
Hey guys,
How does one get into the beta....first time I've hear about it. Just download it? I'm torn between this and ESO so I'd love to check it out.
Just download it, and play starting this Saturday.
Hi guys where abouts can i get the Beta from as me and my mate want to try this out :) Any help would be great
All you need to do is download the beta from the Playstation store, Its open beta for anyone who wants to try..
P.S. you can only get to level 20 during phase 1. Pase 2 you can get to any level or play your main if you already have one.
Must be US only as it isnt on the UK store :( Guess i have to to use my US account then
P.S. I am all ready for FFXIV to go live April 14th. I bought a 1TB hard drive and I bought the Gold Headset today.
I didn't realize that anyone with a Playstation Plus account will have access to the Beta to try out, so I downloaded it today. Don't know when exactly it goes online this Saturday, but I love to try it out with you fellas.
Also SweatDog I live in Canada, so maybe the Beta will show up in the Playstation Store soon for UK players???
I must be blind...I searched for it last night and couldn't find it in the U.S. store.
EDIT: Nevermind...found it via the web store and it's currently downloading to my PS4.
Thanks for the info! I'm downloaded and ready to go!
What server are you using Soulwatcher?
It is fun, but do not think it is so much fun that I would pay the 13 to 15 bucks monthly fee when it goes off the free play.
Just about to play it cant wait :)
Okay I honestly can't figure this game out, and I personally am not going to pay $15.00 a month on a game either (plus I don't have the time to commit). Although there was a ton of people playing it when I was online, never seen so many people in a game before.
Personally, I'm loving it. The last FF game I played to completion was 7. Dabbled with 11. It's great to be back in the series. I'm hoping it stays fresh as I progress, but given that the game retails for 40...I'll certainly pick this up even with the subscription. Might jump ship once ESO comes out, but for now I'm enjoying it.
Edit: I'm on 1
I am on the beta 4 server and I am level 18. On the live server I am on Livithan. I am already paying to play it on my PC. I and going to be letting my PC graze in the pasture once this game going live on 4-14-14. My name is Blissa Whitewolf on both servers.
I am in 5, 1-4 were full. I am loving this game, and I will definitely be getting this and paying the monthly fee. I really like how light hearted it is, reminds me somewhat of Dragon's Dogma.
What level are you at?
I have mixed feelings about this FF, but overall I'm enjoying it. Wish the map was bigger.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a warp pipe to find . . .
I am at level 8, almost level 9. If I hadn't been sick all weekend I would have been able to play more and probably be in the teens by now. I agree with the map size, but it is just the beta.
I think I'm at level 7. Was wondering if you (or anyone else) have acquired a sidekick yet -- aka Summoning, Black Mage or a Carbuncle...etc, etc. I see players running around town with them at their side.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to have a Black Mage!
The maps are a little on the small size compaired to most other mmorpgs. But there are a lot of zones out there to explore. There are 3 main starting cities, plus all of the high level zones.
P.S. the reason why the zones are small is PS3 support. FFXIV 1.0 had huge zones, but they had to shrink them down to work with the PS3.
Well I preordered the game it will be here next month. I should also be getting a code for early release. I am so ready to play this on PS4, I will be slowing down on buying new games once I have this on PS4. I am only going to buy the really good games and skip the rest. Because I will be playing FFXIV most of the time.
EDIT: there are just 3 more days of PS4 beta!
What! Nooooo!!!
Well, I know what I'll be doing for the next 3 days.
EDIT: ummm, ya' know **cough cough** I think I'm gonna stay home tomorrow and **cough ahem** rest, and what better way to do that than play a little FF? ...yeah, that's the ticket...
Now, if you'll excuse me, off to play FFXIV
LOL, I think the companions are from players who have the game already on PS3 and (maybe?) ordered the collectors edition. I preorederd the collectors edition from the Square Enix store, so I should be getting the early access as well. BTW, I hit level 10 last night. And I agree, this is going to be my game of choice for a while, with the exception of titles like Witcher 3, Lords of the Fallen and Final Fantasy Versus or whatever it's called now.
SO now that I've spent a week with the game I have to say I'm pretty excited about it coming out soon...however, I do have a few questions. The PS4 servers will be the same as the PC/PS3 servers...so, I feel like I'm coming late to the party. I have to admit I'm a little bummed knowing that half the population will be running around in their end game gear trying to solve their end game problems while I"m still getting lost in Ul'dah...or whatever that place is called. Are they going to be opening new servers by any chance? A fresh playing ground so to speak.
I guess that's really the only big negative I've encountered...I guess we do need to try to get us all on the same server if we have any intention of playing together. Thoughts?
