That (6-3-6-3) is the format of the pre-order bonus codes, yes. If you ordered from the NA SE store, it will be in your initial receipt e-mail under "Pre-Order Bonus Package" or something like that.

This may be of interest.

From the latest feedback list: "In response to requests to allow BGMs to loop continuously, we are currently looking into creating a BGM system to play them." So, probably coming at some point in the future, but don't expect it at launch.

Thanks for sharing! So no comment on if we can change the character name. As Murlona said, we can! I've bolded it for easier finding.

Keeping. I'm changing her clan to Highlander, which matches her IC appearance better than the Midlander model does, but I chose the second option because I don't really consider that a "race change."

Yeah, I'm personally OK with it the way it is now. Being able to hear the very well-done ambient sounds without repetitive music going on all the time can be really immersive and enjoyable. Most of the overworld music cues in the game are also between 0:45 and 1:30 in length, too, which I imagine would get really repetitive if they were to loop endlessly. They're more used for flavor when you move into a new area than as a persistent background theme, which is the reason that they've cited for why they haven't added in a looping option. That said, I'd have absolutely no problem with the option if it were made available, since obviously a lot of people feel strongly about it, and it wouldn't hurt anyone. I just probably wouldn't use it most of the time!

Being that all content above level 20 is disabled this weekend as well, all we can really do anyway is just look around. A lot of good stuff in those notes!

I'm curious whether it will or not; this video is made for use in Japanese storefronts. It's possible, but I'm also pretty certain that none of the narration is actually anything we don't already know.

Don't worry about it, it was just a lighthearted joke in an attempt to bring some levity to this thread.

Yeah, my laptop gets in the 2000s (I think) on maximum settings too, but around 4500 on "high-ish" settings. Save your score after running the benchmark and look at the "average FPS" value in the log file. If it's below 30, you may want to consider lowering your settings. Using the same graphics settings I used in the beta, my average FPS from the benchmark is listed at around 37-38 and I had zero problems doing dungeons or FATEs. Probably the single most expensive setting in the graphics options is SSAO, so you may want to turn that off if it isn't already.

I don't think so. Otherwise, a whoooooole lot of Miqo'te players from 1.0 are going to have to retcon some stuff!

The Cowl of Nocturnal, but in potion form? Haha, interesting idea.

So we can change everything except our character's name? Cool! You can change that too!

I think such a thing could open up a huge can of worms: say, someone commits a crime, then drinks a phial to completely change their identity in order to escape prosecution. Or, someone makes a character who's rich and has access to large stockpiles of fantasia so they can ICly change their appearance on a daily basis. I'd hope that phials would be extremely rare ICly, but that still won't prevent people from potentially abusing it. (Especially since no actual character race change is necessary; such a person could just make one-off alts of varying races and genders to represent their shape-shifted alter egos.) IMO, it comes down to interpreting whether this is some in-world window dressing to place on top of a gameplay mechanic, or actually a conscious change to the lore that SE is making. Do we think that lore NPCs would have access to such a thing, or would we ever see a lore NPC use one? If not, then we probably shouldn't assume we have access to them either.
