My main character's story i'm fleshing out fits well with lancer/dragoon, but i'd love to have the Thief back for another character i'd like to make. I could make her work as a Pugilist, but just doesn't fit as well.

I've yet to get the second email, but luckily I did get a code with my order and was able to enter into the preorder site and then the second code into the service account. Wasn't working last night, but worked fine today, just come back later if it's not working That said, what account do we log into the game with? I used my service account during P4, but the game is also registered with the regular square site. As a old web dev guy, Square's entire setup just makes me cringe.

I know this morning when I got out of bed finally and started playing Gilgamesh was full and had to go Balmung. Despite being so loaded I'm surprised that there haven't been many issues.

Also have to remember that you are downloading compressed files and will be bigger when installed to the disk. After downloading the file size on disk is 8.54GB. Game assets can compress quite a bit when you want them to.

Luckily I don't have to worry about the download my self. At that size though, I wouldn't be surprised if a torrent did pop up of the client.

Ugh, as if I really needed more to make me want launch to come quicker haha

Haha, i'm glad someone likes it, many thanks for the welcome everyone Unfortunately I lost the hat to the wilderness some time back when I had to make a trip to a remote village and fix some computers for work T_T been searching ever since for the perfect replacement =P

Kind of a work in progress character in terms of name and such, but generally how i want him to look. This will be my main for now:

Thanks for the welcomes. Honestly, still on the fence on my choice of server for my main, but kind of leaning towards Gilgamesh at the moment. The idea that it's an overall fresh start for everyone server wide is kind of nice. That said, I have a habit of spreading out and around to the different servers on MMOs when the option is available so i'm likely to try Balmung and others as well over time =P

Instead of Lurking much longer I figured I might as well make a post in here and get things going before the game launches. MMORPG background: A ton of games off and on over the years. Everything from Maple story, Ragnarok Online, Conquer Online, other obscure games Korean in origin, A tiny bit of FF11, and a 5+ year foray into WoW. RP experience: None in MMOs. Back in High school I was pretty big into RPing on the forums over at my old online stomping grounds at Animeleague. Was a clan leader, had various characters and so on. As life began to get in the way after High school I didn't have the time for it all and drifted away. Enter FFXIV, more free time, and a renewed interest in RPing Character ideas/info: Nothing really fleshed out yet, but have an old character of mine that never got much "screen time" and plan on repurposing him into the FFXIV universe as my main. I do have an idea for a female character, but with the way the characters work in ARR she won't be a focus in-game until later on. How did you learn about the coalition? Kind of lurk around the FFXIV subreddit. Much prefer a forum setting though. What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? Likely a mix leaning on the light side. I was never a fan of the overly structured and strict RPing in a set setting/story and was more of a fan of open ended settings with lighter direction. Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) Went to school for Web development/Programming/Design and then a second time for Information Technology(General PC support(A+ certified), Networking, Cisco CCNA level training). Currently a live at home bum living off saved up money from my last job and such while I try my hand at making apps and/or games =P Hobby wise, it's video games, Anime/Manga, Programming, and any other wide array of things. _ Anyways, that's about all I can think of, sorry for the long windedness, i have a habbit of doing that. I like what I've seen so far of this community and hope I can settle in and be a bit active going forward. -Renk
