This is just the 1st stage of the beta. All these characters are started fresh and you dont get to keep them past beta. I think by the 3rd stage they will let you use your characters from the original release. Certainly by the actual release you will be able to use them.
I may start fresh any way since I didnt play that much. My friend will be keeping his though I'm sure.
I hope I don't like this game. Otherwise it's going to be just like the last one, playing the PS3 for years after the PS4 is out. Oh well. At least there will be trophies.
It seems Coeurl is the server we'll play on. At least we got a site already set if the thing is fun.
Let z Pray its going to be good!!! need something new to do… plus i know Gerhard is just as juiced up about FF14 as i am…. dude FOR REAL Ger Get a PS VITA bruh… I will let Copia know what server as well as a few others that will be joining us this time around…
First of all, thanks for the acceptance. I played with Leith during beta (as well as on Caitsith in XI, a hundred years ago). Hopefully, we'll be in the next "Phase" soon.
A few things for those that either quit XIV during the 1.0 debacle or never played. XIV is a very different game than XI. The difficulty, speed, lore, progression… everything.
Things to keep in mind are:
Servers - We don't have the official servers as of yet (Coeurl is our beta server). There will be regional servers this time. We're trying to get as many people together as possible on a North America server. Also, there will be "new player" servers where existing players cannot move to. All new players can go to an existing or new server.
Free Company/Linkshells - Free Companies will be the extension of what "linkshells" were in XI. Linkshells will still be utilized for communication purposes (chat). You can have any number of "shells" but one Free Company. There are options for player housing (which will give a temporary boost to stats, exp., etc.) as well as an airship (coming soon), insignias, crests, shields and all that… It's my humble opinion that Aeternum be set up as a FC in order to pool resources/abilities to get these done, as well as the 24-man raids on The Crystal Tower, Bahamut's Lair, etc.
The last week of phase 2 is this weekend. I think there will be a bunch of new invites going out for phase 3 especially since it adds PS3 users. You guys should keep an eye out.
