I may have to give this another chance.
Its nothing like the 1.0 version of the game! I preordered the collectors of the 1.0 game and was so let down I didn't even play the game when it was free for almost 2 years.

ARR is nothing like 1.0 was and after playing beta weekends for a few weeks now I am dying for the game to go live!

If you got the 1.0 game you should of got a beta wave 3 invite and also you will get the new game free so you have nothing to lose to give it a shot.

I kinda want to give this game a try but I feel like I'd be playing it for the wrong reasons and paying a lot for it. I will say I hope it does well in sales and is received well by the gaming press if that helps anything.

I also selected a Japanese server initially, Bahamut. Additionally, I have 4 friends who are playing the beta/purchasing the full game. Looks like we have a nice thing going thus far!

I didn't get into Beta but I am hoping its light years better than FFXI. I know a lot of people like FFXI, but I found it very grind heavy and un-solo-able. Games like WoW really changed the MMO landscape. I recently revised FFXI and it didn't age well.

I'll tell you this much, Tim. I played FFXI extensively, and XIV 2.0 is a natural progression from the previous gameplay style. While Vanilla was very much like XI, the new system is completely reworked. Combat is much smoother, and much faster. While this might not be the most appropriate comparison, think along the lines of a Xenoblade type system as opposed to the classic FFXI. This being said, most classes that were present in the later installments of XI are missing as of present, and to my knowledge the game lacks a cross classing system. Once again, not entirely sure about that last part. Having listened to every OKS, and having heard your game preferences, I feel that i can safely say you'll like it. Former WoW player who loves PSO and WKC? Yeah, you're going to want to pick this one up.

Thanks tri4ceofpowr. I am looking forward to playing it. I really hope they revamped the quest system and actually streamline it a little so its not alienating newcomers. I found myself just wondering around not knowing what to do in FFXI. Many older MMOs were like this. Star Wars Galaxies was the WORST of them all when it came to this!!

Im in if you are all really keen. Been wanting to hit an MMO with a this community for a while and this may be the one to do it. Im sure a few RL friends will be playing it too so all the more reason to play it and justify the sub cost.

So count me in. ;)

I played it for a bit while it was free and tried to keep going. It was brutal.

I may end up popping up on this one as well. Just tell me what server, I was on Gilgamesh on FF11 and I think I was on it for this one as well.

Got an email today stating I could get into the Beta on PS3. Downloaded it right away. First MMORPG I played since WoW in 2006.

Played it for about 1-2 hours running around the main city of Girandia (or something like that) and doing some quests. It is interesting but I have no idea if I will play this a lot. Do have the CE on pre-order though as part of my FF collection.

Would have preferred a better tutorial. The character creation was overwhelming with so many choices, class type, race type, too much for a newcomer. Even for a FF veteran like myself.

Any idea until when the beta is active?

The beta is only active on the weekends and no clue when Wave 4 will start.

Wave 4 will be open beta so if your in the beta now you should get to play until the game goes live.

Absolutely cannot wait for this game, as I've posted several times in this thread :P. What classes are you guys intending on playing? I think I'm going to run a lancer.

..haven't played since my first session. Seeing how my weekends are pretty busy (at least this one) I might not play it until next weekend. Strange to see it is a weekend only beta....

Really want to give this MMO a shot, and might delve into a lot seeing how my backlog is nearly non-existant. Hopefully it will stay that way until August (although SMT IV and Tales of Xillia are out as well by then).

Next week is the end of phase 3 beta and all characters will be wiped again.

Phase 4 is not going to be just weekends... its going to be 2 weeks to a month long starting sometime late July / early August.... so its kind of like a head start with no character wipes to encourage people to play the game.


Here is a list of the NA/EU servers. We need to vote on what server we are going to play on before beta wave 4 starts!

  • Sargatanas(LEGACY)
  • Balmung(LEGACY)
  • Excalibur(LEGACY)
  • Hyperion(LEGACY)
  • Adamantoise
  • Ultros
  • Cerberus(EU)
  • Goblin
  • Ragnarok(EU)
  • Diabolos
  • Midgardsormr
  • Odin(EU)
  • Shiva(EU)
  • Coeurl
  • Malboro
  • Cactuar 1 vote
  • Leviathan
  • Behemoth 4 votes
  • Moogle(EU)
  • Gilgamesh


I have been playing Beta on the Behemoth server and have had a blast, so my vote is for Behemoth! My top three picks would be Behemoth, Leviathan and Cactuar due to there lore in Final Fantasy! I just pre-ordered the PS3 collectors version and for anyone that was a 1.0 PC player here is some useful info about buying the PS3 collectors version....
