Upon examination,that seems to be true! Ultimecia is somewhere in the middle with 2 chocobos, while Sephiroth and Shadowloard are at the end, with 3 chocobos.

I was kinda expecting answers to those questions. ^^; Help me help you! Otherwise I'll just suggest Eorzea Role Player Radio and we all know what ERP Radio sounds like!

Thaumaturges get mana regen abilities, I don't think Conjurers do.. or do they?

I used a controller in Champions Online, in FF XIV I'm just using a keyboard. I could see the controller being good, but it wouldn't make battles faster. What makes battle "slow" (and I don't think they're slow at all) is having a stamina bar and it running out.

Hmmmm I see. That only makes it more pointless to vote until last minute. ^^ In the end the server name really doesn't matter at all, other than us all being on the same one. I say make the vote a 1 day thing and have it on Sept 20 so you can compile on Sept 21st and it's ready for people to log on Sept 22nd.

What do you want that name to say? What exactly are you becoming? I know you're going more mainstream-ish while still covering all things RP, the name should define what you are. Also, I loved the mall analogy but I dunno.. I been too busy with other stuff to think about commenting, I guess!

If there are RP servers (which is something I highly doubt will happen), then it's pretty obvious we'll take one. IF there's more than one, we just need to say like "pick the first" or "pick the 2nd". Everything else can be put as Eva suggested, I think. Also, I agree that a vote is pointless right now. We should wait for open beta, for sure.

I agree with Eva! I hate when things are unnecessarily complicated. ^^; (also, Zeromus is not really adorable... at all)

I don't think it will even be -that- bad to just have one class. The way I understand it, it's more like keeping people from grinding their way to the top in a week, like people do in WoW nowadays. Possibly, they want to make paid powerleveling services obsolete, which is a GOOD thing. I just wish they'd use positive reinforcement (like making leveling multiple classes easier, like giving us the ability to make class templates so we don't have to reset our abilities every time) instead of negative reinforcement (like they do now, by just making it harder to level with a single class).

I wish they had a Zeromus server. Isn't he just adorable?

Oooohhhh Valkyrie Profile on ps3! I still can't get over having never played the first game on ps1 but I got the PsP and Ps2 ones, at least. ^^ But.. yeah. Let's leave the whining, bitching and complaining to the mainstream websites and keep our community free of all that negativity, shall we?

Well, the Controls for targeting are: Tab: cycle through targets (forward) Shift+Tab: cycle through targets (reverse) F9: target self F11: target nearby characters F12: target party members Numpad 0: cycle through targets (forward) This is from the Controls pages on the beta website.

Well, there's the whole Treasures of the Main thing, and I'm sure there's more story-related things, too.

Not only unnecessary, but not the kind of drama-free behavior that I understand our LS is about.

That would be cool and would give us the ability to switch items between our own charries without a third party (since there doesn't seem to be mailboxes), but I don't know more than you on the subject.

Well, that's why you don't shop at the last minute. Even in WoW Raids, with the AH, people -hate- when their guildies do that and threaten them not to bring them next time if they're not ready when everyone else is.

This is Azyria's masked alter-ego's theme.

That's a good question... do ALL characters get one retainer or are the number of characters and retainers separate? If each character automatically gets a retainer of their own 3$ for a charrie sounds more justified so it would be 2$ fr the charrie and 1$ for the retainer... Otherwise.. it would kinda suck. As it's not specifically detailed that additional characters give you retainers, I'm guessing that they are unfortunately separate but that's a question best asked to SE.

$13 per month. Not exactly the most cost efficient game when you realize to have a single mule it costs $16, huh? Most people I knew on FFXI had two mules (including myself), so were you to bring that habit over, then maybe throw in one extra retainer for sales purposes, that's an even Andrew Jackson ($20) right there. Nonono a mule is 1$ (that's what retainers are for), so your main and 2 mules would be 13.99 instead of 12.99. It's adding Alts that get expensive.

Garland is my next favorite after Golbez, because he was the FIRST. Also, he was kinda cool and a classic princess-napper.

Yay for you!

A search system would make the bazaar an AH without bidding. Which is pretty much what AH ares in mmo's. Most people Search for what they want and Buyout the lowest price. Adding a Search function to the Market Ward would defeat the purpose of giving players a different experience from an AH and it would have all the possible economy-damaging drawbacks of an AH, meaning more money for the wealthy, less for the poor. I feel that simply separating the different wards according to what type of item is sold would be enough, without hurting the system. Those who have the gil and not the patience can buy the first example of the thing they want that they find, others with more patience and/or less gil will simply keep looking for the best deal. This ensures that everyone has a chance to make their sale while everyone still has a chance to get the best price. When they do add an AH, and they said they would, but just not at launch, then those who prefer that will be able to use it. I for one, will probably stick to the bazaar.

The ALT talk originated from confusion about character slots due to us having 3 of them in Beta, but so for the officially announced charrie slots are as Tadir described, with only one of each at start. The reason they are doing this is, as far as I can tell, twofold. 1- With the "unlimited" Class-switching Armory system, who needs an alt? (except us RPers) 2- It allows them to charge less than the 14.99 most subscription-type mmo's have taken as standard price since they know enough people will gladly pay for more to make it worth it.

There's an important difference between encouraging something and penalizing people when they're not doing it. FF XI penalized people for not grouping. With FF XIV, SE wants to encourage grouping, which is a much better way to do things. Everyone will tell you nowadays, positive reinforcement is much better than negative reinforcement. The problem right now is that not only grouping isn't better, but soloing is better. They need to find a way to fix this without making soloing a pain in the behind. Making grouping better by making it better as opposed to making it better by making soloing worse, you know?

I can't post, I don't have the rights. Otherwise, I would have posted a while ago, on a lot of topics. ^^;
