RE: Your first day back in Eorzea - V'sato - 07-19-2013
My first day back...I'll probably create my 3 characters. I'll have one for RP and then two others to experience the story and game with. I may use those two as alts as time goes but I'm unsure of it at the moment. But day one is going to be used making my characters and then getting my main RP to 15-20 so I can have the entire world for flushing out my RP.
Thats the plan anyway.

I'll likely be getting myself situated and preparing to dive in and finish my relic weapon with my Free Company. Only two fights awaaaaaay! I can almost taste it.
RE: Your first day back in Eorzea - Azthran - 07-19-2013
I will probably be rushing to 15 in the first few hours so I can go play with other people. Then slow down a bit to start crafting/gathering and all teh RPs!

Most likely leveling with a group of IRL friends, managed to convince them to come to Balmung too. Get a good chunk of the story up and out of the way so I can open up everything. Excited despite having done this five times now XDD

Massive respect to anyone who did.

That's a tough one. I have a large list just the first week for Phase 4. It's more or less personal and Company goals combined. First big task is to work on crafting as I want to get my skills a bit more up to snuff so I can work on helping gear the new folks. I also want to take that time to prepare a large amount of equipment for the Caravan RP event that we'll be doing more or less around launch.
That's more of a personal goal. I guess ensure everyone is having a good time, make sure folks are grouped up, doing dungeons and help them all out. Get in a bunch of RP time while I'm there too to prepare for our first story arc. Work on developing the funds to get our Academy building up and running so I can decorate it and make it look nifty. That and recruiting... Phase 4 plan to be recruiting a bit more since we were still preparing solid plans over Phase 3. I definitely am going to be busy with so much going on but I love it, I love the feeling of starting from scratch and building things up as a group. It builds such comradery.
Endgame is something that we're always focused on in our other games. We've had many great memories raiding.

It wasn't so bad once you got past Hamlet. Getting past Hamlet, however, was a chore. You needed great mental fortitude in order to not succumb to madness. I may have at one point, as evidenced below.

I was our tank. I ran around that tree kiting the boss for about 15 minutes straight every time we did Gridania. Limsa and Ul'dah weren't really much different. The instance speed runs just took practice and were super easy once you got them down (Which most of us already had after spending some 200 CC/AV runs farming Darklight).
Interested to see how they make them in 2.0. I hope it's still as difficult and time consuming, as I'll be rather disappointed if we got through all the hard stuff, only to have it not be hard at all in ARR.
RE: Your first day back in Eorzea - ArmachiA - 07-19-2013
My first few days back will be nothing but grinding in order to hit 25 so I can make the Free Company. I already apologized to my guild for that, because the first few days I won't be talking or rping very much. But them the breaks as the GL.
RE: Your first day back in Eorzea - Niteshade_Rune - 07-20-2013
Well I know once created, or if already made the character can be access on either platform, but for example say on the ps3 when u are creating a character and u can opt to 'save' the character data which then lets u load it when u creat another character on the ps3 version. i hadnt had a chance to check if by doing that if it could be loaded while on the pc version lol
Admittedly after seeing someone elses goal it did remind me, i was curious when we could get a chocobo and all that, but im wondering since ill have the mount off the CE if id still have to wait to use it lvl wise or not, but then either way id love to have my own Chocobo, so thats bout the only goal progression wise in levels id see myself setting heh,, but it wont be a rush.
I want to get my harvesting and crafting up in at least the main craft choices i had while dabbling in the others . Would like to be able to make some of my own stuff as I progress(which adds to my slow/casual but enjoyable) playstyle heh..
I am looking forward to reacquainting myself with Limsa Lominsa as well. I started there in 1.0(loved the opening) and just loved the feel of the city. I did travel to and scout out the other 2 but something about Limsa , just enjoyed it the most.
Man.. i'm going to be so busy just working on my gathering/crafting after i fix up my inventory.
Touching on reacquainting with LL, during the last beta i went and scoped out the Arcanist guild location. Despite my usual enjoyment and love for melee and melee/magic type hybrids I am totally going to have to do some Arcanist training, Carbuncle <3

I need to find where I read it at, but they're apparently releasing character creation benchmark software Aug 1 or 2 and people can make their characters before the game goes live. It'll save over, too. Gonna try to find a link for it...
RE: Your first day back in Eorzea - Xeon - 07-20-2013
After i make my character, im gona level. And im probably gona level much. But when i need a break or for other reason decide to stop leveling, i will pick up fishing and try it out, spent several beta weekends with no fishing, So im really curious how it works out.

o.O really? if u are able to find that link that'd be awesome! This would be incredibly handy, as even though I overall liked the base appearance of my 1.0 character I wouldnt mind having prep time to flush out the details before live, I just need to finish off my list of possible name change ideas so i can get one picked out @.@

The benchmark is mentioned on the official blog (specifically in the text above the second photo):

Awesome, thanks !!! That is great news and I can't wait to do some fine tuning before launch.

 RP-friendly, LGBT safespace guild with a strong focus on PvE endgame.As far as what I intend to do, I'll level up to 25 as quickly as possible so that I can help get our FC going, and then I'll probably slow down a hair. Find some RP. Do some instances. Take more screenshots (as if the 500+ I have from phase 3 weren't enough). Basically settle into my Eorzea adventure!
