Yes, that would perfectly describe my reaction.

Cant you just buy an imoport version or something like that? Think I'll decide, whether I'll buy CE or the normal edition after I had a look into the beta... I ran the Benchmark yesterday and after overclocking my graphic card I got from "low performance" to "good performance" at least... But I'm still not quite sure how my actual system is gonna handle the game and if I have to upgrade it for FFXIV I'd really have to look after my money hm...

Re: Release date announced! Sept. 30, 2010 - Arzy - 07-17-2010

Of course I could buy an import version, from UK that is. But with the tax that goes along with it, a game that would cost me .. uhh ... google conversion .. 87$ in Czech Republic would suddenly bump up to 120$ because of taxes and transportation fee and those 8 days are really NOT that important for me to pay that much more.

Not to mention the transportation would take about 2-3 days. So that means I'd get only 6 or 5 days of early access. http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/

For those looking @ buying imports, this is from S-E:
Important, read this before you buy Final Fantasy XIV:
Service accounts for FINAL FANTASY XIV and the FINAL FANTASY XIV Collector's Edition can only be added for the same region as your Square Enix account (Japan, North America, or Europe). The game cannot be played if the product region is different from the Square Enix account region, so be sure to check the region for which the product is intended before making a purchase.

It seems like you'd be fine Arzy, getting a EU version from the UK, but this is esp. important for people that like to buy JP versions of the game and play them in the US. Hopefully if they are planning a simultaneous region release for all 3 regions this won't be an issue to many!

Re: Release date announced! Sept. 30, 2010 - Kashemia - 07-17-2010

One thing I con't really understand is what exactly a region account mean? Does it mean that you have to sign up for the account on the EU homepage to use an EU game, but can still play with people who are using an american account? Or are they on different servers?

So... provisionally, if I want to do what I had originally planned, which was start 3 characters from launch its going to cost me £13.19 ($20.19 US) a month. Now from what I gather those three character will have the one retainer between them unless I purchase more.

Would I likely need more than one for 3 characters or is that enough does anyone know yet?

Re: Release date announced! Sept. 30, 2010 - Aveline - 07-17-2010

I think you actually get one retainer per character, but then each character can have additional retainers. That's at least what I'm interpreting it as right now.. I may be entirely wrong (hope not!)

Re: Release date announced! Sept. 30, 2010 - Renaise - 07-18-2010

The wording on the EU site is different to the US:

Quote:“For each account, one retainer will be free of charge with an additional retainer being €1.00 per month (UK £0.70)”


Re: Release date announced! Sept. 30, 2010 - Aveline - 07-18-2010

That would be SUCH a rip-off if you only got one retainer per account....

Re: Release date announced! Sept. 30, 2010 - Kima wolf - 07-18-2010

I already consider it a ripoff as a RPer I have to purchase extra slots. I wish they'd at least give you enough slots to cover all the races. Or hell two would do lol.
