As soon as I can find the link in my Square Enix page I'll post the pic. It's kinda confounding me at the moment >_

I really wanted the goggles over that helmet *dons gloves of swank* oh well >_>

I'm pretty sure I've read that the codes are in the box, and that we have to apply them to our Square Enix account before making the characters in order to get the items. There's the goggles and the onion helm for preorders, I'm not certain but CE owners may get both. If you have the promotional code from FFXIII there are a pair of swanky looking gauntlets waiting for you too, good for any class.

That'll be great. Saving time to just jump back in would be nice, though to be safe, I think I'll jot down all the numbers for good ole Xzenny :geek:

What repetitive task can we almost automate over and over again? Fishing?

I just wanted to add on, having similar experience, that when wearing this sort of armor, it doesn't necessarily feel like you're wearing that much, as when you're wearing such armor thats fitted and strapped on correctly, the weight distribution makes it much lighter and easier to move around in. Combine that with long periods of training (such as pages->squires->knights) it may feel like a natural part of your body.

What could you make me during beta and how much will it cost me can pm if you don't want to derail, unless you have a catalog handy

I enjoy the game enough that I reserved the CE after work today, so I'll be in it for awhile. I would like more mobs to hunt outside of leves, and would like to see the leve cool downs shortened, even to 24 hours rather than 48 would be fine. I don't really mind the fatigue system either, someone made a great post about it on Core that convinced me, however I would probably have increased the amount of time per class to something like twenty hours a week before you hit 0% gains. Though, I have yet to get into crafting, and have only done a little gathering in botany, I may try mining instead, or just pick up both so that while I'm looking for things to kill, I can swap to a gathering tool and collect stuff. Crafting looks like it might be fun, and its always been dragged out boring grind that has kept me from it in most games (really, I think the last time I really enjoyed crafting was in Asheron's Call) and this doesn't look like that, so I'll give it a whirl. One thing I absolutely LOVE about crafting though, is that with all the classes of it, a player has the option to focus entirely on production it would seem, and while that isn't my way, I think its fantastic that its an option. More character customization as someone mentioned above would be nice, just a few simple things for the body, it doesn't have to be Aion or APB extensive, just a little more than what it is. Oh, and come retail, I dearly hope I can buy upgrades to my equipment >_< I'm rather slow to make friends admittedly, so I never know who to go to for crafting.

A gladiator with a shield, and one without. In the description of gladiator, it notes that some take up a shield to better protect others, while some focus entirely on their sword arm. Has anyone noticed a difference between one and the other yet? I haven't been able to get a shield yet to see.

I haven't gotten into beta yet, I'm certain come retail I'll be starting in Limsa, it fits with the character too well not to mention that when I frame that Rite of Passage certificate to put on my wall, the blue will go with the decour perfectly. :approve:
