We are getting 5 days for the last wave of phase 3 closed beta!

Posted Image

Phase three will resume on Wednesday, July the 10th at 2 AM PDT (9 AM GMT), and will close Monday, July the 15th!

When Phase 4 starts there will be no more character wipes and you will need to re-download the client because the closed beta client will no longer work. Phase 4 will be open beta so anyone that hasn't got into the closed beta can try the game out.

For anyone that saved there character creation file and wants to use it on Phase 4 of the beta the file is stored here for windows users....

Once all the classes are optional, I'll likely dabble in 3-4 classes in order to gain access to their abilities. Not sure what class I'll want to advance though.

Its exciting to see so many people getting excited about this final fanatsy mmo. When i played XI, it seemed like nobody cared. It was all about WoW. Even then, XI was far superior to WoW in my opinion.

Vanilla WoW was really good IMO. FF XI had good ideas, just poorly executed

After playing in the closed beta, I'd caution hyping this game up. It's good, but it's not the best (at first blush that is, aka 20 hours in the closed beta). I feel Guild Wars 2 has done alot of things to retain the more casual player's attention; with the evade system that promotes mobility, a seamless environment, more intuitive map and emphasis on exploration rather than a mainline story. Even then, FFXIV could improve a bit at launch with the addition of all the classes, emphasis of dabbling spells, and voice acting that has been absent in the beta. However, as far as I've, there is no enemy weakness, and playing as one class is very redundant and doesn't promote playing strategically.

I'm getting extremely interested in picking this up. I was huge into FFXI and I don't really want something to take over my life again to that degree. Is it really addicting from what is available so far?

I think it'll eventually be addicting, but most people will simply rush to the class upgrade/endgame, even if the experience there isn't the most satisfying.

I really like the game myself and I play a lot of MMO's. The game is a good balance of soloing for quests and grouping up with people for dungeons, levequests and guildleves. When you first start you will have no problem advancing in levels by doing nothing but questing but as you start leveling more classes and jobs you will want to start grouping and running dungeons and doing party events such as guildleves. This is a huge plus for FFXIV in my option because too many MMO's cater to just solo play and Square seems to have a very good balance going where you will be able to solo but also rewards players who like to do party based events.

While exploring the game you will have FATE events spawn in the zones and you get XP based on your level and contribution sort of like the world events in Warhammer and Guildwars 2. The game also will make you want to explore to complete the challenges in your hunters log. (Finding and killing mobs you don't necessarily need for quests to advance your characters progression and hunter rank)

the biggest complaint I have saw about the game so far is the limited amount of spells and combat arts but keep in mind it starts to pick up after you have started leveling more than one class / job because then you can mix and match spells from other classes to fill in the gaps. Also progressing the main story line of the class you pick will open up new spells for your class. The game will also offer end game raiding, The Crystal Tower, Bahamut's Labyrinth, PVP and Primal fights.

I would like to add that this is the best looking MMO I have ever played and the game runs like a dream. Just exploring the world is a treat for your eyes.

Like I said I play a lot of MMO's.... heck I have played most all the big ones out there and I haven't been this hyped up for a MMO to go live since the golden age of the genre and EQ was king of the hill. I'm glad the main story quest missions pose a challenge and the game rewards those who group together while still offers solo play.

Vanilla WoW was really good, but it got to a point where that and FFXI were apples and oranges. At this point, both games are difficult to return to haha.

So I havent played anymore since my first session as I wanted to continue without data wipes.

In any case, phase 4 is starting soon, I read you had to apply, does anyone know if that also meant if you were already in Phase 2/3?

I shouldn't think so. If you were in an earlier stage of the Beta (or in my case, Alpha) you were automatically sent a new registration for Phase 3. :)
