Is there any means of telling if you're a Legacy holder or not? I can't recall if I paid for three months for 1.0, but I know I played at least 3 months. Also, if you were given access to the open beta on the 16th is that indicative that you are a legacy member or does that just mean you played in 1.0? I'm so confused trying to keep all this stuff straight... :dazed:

I would love to see the thief class make a return. I've just come to consider that almost a requirement in any good RPG and it feels odd that FFXIV ARR is lacking it.

I personally enjoy the crafting in FFXIV ARR. I recall doing a few DoH classes in 1.0 and it was kind of painful, what with the "parts" system being unbalanced with the parts needed to make most armors and weapons requiring a higher level skill than the actual item. In FFXIV ARR they seemed to have done away with that which I enjoy. I also like the addition of Crafting Points and the fact that when I make something really nice I feel like it was actual skill that created it, not some random number generator. The bonus experience that is granted for crafting higher quality items is also a really nice touch, making the hundreds of bronze ingots I craft still actually worth something because I can boost their quality so high and get nearly triple experience.

Yeah, you're right not to believe him. I played 1.0 and there was nothing of that sort that I ever saw. Sounds like he's just messing with you. When the game officially launched there were only Gladiator, Marauder, Pugilist, Thaumaturge, Conjurer, and the various DoH classes. It wasn't until later that the advanced jobs were introduced.

There are advanced classes/jobs that can be unlocked my leveling two of the starting classes up to specific levels. One at 30 and one at 15, I think. That may be what he is referring to.

Just curious if and how folks are deciding what class/job to go with for their characters as their IC class/job. With a game like FFXIV the option to branch out and level any class or job is always an option and I'm just wondering how people are going to handle that in relation to being in character. Myself, I intend to pick one class and have that be my IC class for the character, leveling the others up while playing out of character, or if I can, having someone ICly train my character in a new role. So, what will you folks be doing in regards to jobs/classes?

Awesome, now if only I could get logged back in so I could check out how much better my game will look with this. :frustrated: Also, how much of a performance hit did you notice adding all that in?

Can I pester you to explain what your settings are or how you got the game to look as nice as the screenshots in your album? The colors are way more vibrant than what I have seen so far.

I really hope so. I only have an hour and a half left in my shift at work and if it's not up working by the time I get home I probably won't bother staying awake unless I can find something else to do. ... maybe I should start figuring out which class/job I want to have be E'lianna's IC class/job. Or start working on a backstory for her.

Been stuck in the 3102 Limbo for about 5 hours now myself. Not looking too good, at this point considering how long others have been unable to play. I'm starting to get the feeling that my time in the OB might be over. Which is a shame because I was looking forward to checking out the RP event on Gilgamesh in Gridania later this evening.
