as if i wasnt even more in anticipation for launch, that discussion just made it worse. I'm loving that we will be seeing a Barbershop feature a bit after launch. I'll make sure to use my initial free full over appearance change to make any(if any applicable) major changes that wont be covered in the Barbershop feature and then just jump into the gorgeous Realm of Eorzea. yay!

some of the talk of the Grand Companys reminded me i know NOTHING about them or their styles and the gear that each has. <--some homework for me to do after work between now and next weekend

Also, Companions? were these in 1.0 Â , was that what i vaguely remember something about after a point in our story related quests we'd get some sort of follower like ally that would b able to join us on some quests?

On a random note : Im going to have to do a few random character starts with different classes during Open beta. Just for the sake of seeing the gear we end up in during that brief intro cinematic based on our class choice lol
If memory serves, that is the same armor as will be displayed in creation when you set it to showing you in "Job" gear, so if it's just to see the gear in the intro cinematic you can do that without having to leave character creation.

Ah, i didnt remember the job gear option being selectable during hte last beta phase i checked out so wasnt sure, that'll be handy then, thanks for the response

Ah for our Chocobo, i see, I saw we will have bardings and such for them, thats a nice touch. I never made it far enough to have a Chocobo companion of my own in 1.0 . Cant wait
The was a lot of stuff regarding the Chocobo Companion that wasn't implemented yet, for example we got access to every stance because they didn't have the Companion skill tree setup yet. Once the game launches, or possibly even in B4, you'll have to spec your Chocobo a certain way, determining whether it will be DPS, Tank, or Healer, and you'll get to customize different traits about it, give it new spells, etc. I'm not sure how the class barding will work (possibly a reward for unlocking a class) but there has been concept art for it since last year.

Chocobo Ninja?

As for PvP I'm wondering if the gear will be class based, or disciple based. Like one set of gear for PLD/WAR/DRG, one set of gear for Disciples of War, and one set of gear for Disciples of Magic. Personally I hope the former is the case, I'd rather not have every class type looking exactly the same in PvP, being able to discern your targets based on class allows for much greater strategy.

I had no idea that was stuff originally planned for back in 1.0 So many things i know nothing about from back then (implemented or planned to be) lol, but its one of the reasons i'm looking forward to ARR, it'll be all new to me and i can bask in my newbish glory as i learn things anew.

That said that sounds awesome regarding the skills w/the Chocobo n such. Sounds like something I'd have to put some thought into on the chance it won't be possible or easy to change it later. I suspect the way I generally prefer to play i'd benefit from some sort of heal/buff support, but I do love fighting side by side with some sort of companion/follower sometimes(for the fun factor as well as the RP potential to tie into my character)

Thanks for explaining that though! Moogle
