Lançamentos (beta ou não) sempre se resumem a uma turba se amontoando nas áreas pra low-level. Mas tirei umas SS. To achando que vou jogar de Lalafell, impossível mudar depois de jogar com o baixinho! Só o sobrenome enorme que provavelmente vai rodar.

Your standard fishoholic intro post

I regret starting in Gridania. I didn't think Mysidia would be be so packed, (only one chocobo when I chose) and I think more than half of the server residents made Gridania their home! I'm constantly avoiding people even in the spacious areas. However I love the scenery--the forests and the streams are the perfect setting to go...

FFXIV - Beta Day I

1 Comments
Okay, so today it seemed logical to focus on FFXIV rather than any other videogame. There are two reasons for this.

The first being that this blog is of course hosted on a Final Fantasy XIV Fan Site, the second being that today was day one of Open Beta.

Now, I'll begin by saying that even getting into the beta has been an absolute drawl,...

Entitlement, Anxiousness and the nature of Beta

8 Comments
Hey all! I'm new here (been lurking for a while), but felt compelled to post some blogs because of the awesome community y'all have built up. I'll do an intro post later on that's more about me, but I wanted to first address something that we're seeing a whole lot of since Open Beta started.

The "Problem"

First impressions

Ok, got roughly 3 hours of solid playtime this morning before the version system dropped. Wanted to put a few thoughts out there about progress so far.

Patcher...

Open Beta and me!

3 Comments
Last night was crazy, I think I wore off the paint on my F5 button. I was able to get to the apply system about 7:10. Then received the email with code at about 7:15. It took nearly an hour and 3 attempts to actually enter the Registration Code. After that it took another 20-30 minutes to get the login screen to come up in game.

First surprise...

On open beta: initial thoughts

2 Comments
What follows are my initial thoughts on the beta, I wrote this earlier and some have changed, but I'll post them anyway.

Hard at first

I dunno why, but everything’s seems a little hard. It could be because I'm used to playing a MMO which I know everything about and have had years of experience playing, but nothing really seems ...

Race Stat Chart

Leave Comment
Just want to personally thank the guy who released this stat chart. I've been waiting a long time for a chart like this to decide my race.
I'm honestly even more solidified in my choice of a Duskwight. I was very surprised at his level of Intelligence and am eager to try out a Pugilist/Thurm. :)
Once again, thanks. :th_070_goodjob:

FFXIV and why a hardcore gamer is in.

2 Comments
Let me first state that this i have recently gotten into blogging so I'm probably not the best but bear with me. Anyway onto the point, FFXIV may have a cap but the HC gamer will still have plenty of reasons to play it. At first i was worried because of the surplus system wouldn't allow me to level what i want when i wanted. After...

This is another long one, don't end up like this :th_045_:

Part Two a New Beginning "A Strange Lallafel."

Part Three A New Beginning "A First Step."

Part four A New Beginning "Time Fly's."

Part five A New Beginning ...

Semi-Open Beta Drama

2 Comments
So, second attempt(!) at my first Core blog posting. "Hello World", or whatever.

Been spending the morning, reading all the people frustrated at the problems with the "open" Beta release of XIV. So much drama! But I can't help but laugh a little at all the PC players, who are mad about the downloading issues, and...

This is already on the forums but I wanted to add it here for the people who don't wander into the Theorycrafting Board. Enjoy!

Howdy, I'm !iz, and you may call me yami or yamikara as well. Today I was updating my SE account, and as you know it required very specific information about country and stuff, I bet on complete sincerity and happily acknowledged my country had the ffxiv service button enabled.
Now the issues, I need the payment infomation they are holding...

On Beta Versions and Intermediate Software Releases

2 Comments
From my reply to a recent news post:

To possibly ease some fears about the game's readiness for release:

Say for example you are at revision 10000 of your software, and a beta release is scheduled. One of two things will happen: you work up to a stable version by not allowing any commits with features not scheduled for this beta, OR you go...

What did Kay do in the Closed Beta?

Leave Comment
My main purpose during the beta is to test things. To try things out and map out my strategic approach to the game at launch. Sounds impressive, right? I tried all the classes and talked to NPCs (which doesn't seem to do much in this game :th_003_: )
I did have a linkshell and enjoyed the company of others but mostly I soloed all my...

Second Entry: Weaving 101

8 Comments
Welcome to my Weaving 101 course! Here I will explain some recipes and which recipes to start with to get maximum experience points at a low cost. Now I believe that in order to start as a crafter, you need to start as a Disciple of War. Makes no sense huh? I'll explain in a few.


All crafters need two important items - Crystals...

"Answers" FFXIV Vocal theme: An analysis

4 Comments
I tried to decipher this months ago with a couple friends, did a lot of listening and internet searching and concluded with this:

I close my eyes, tell us why must we suffer
Release your hands for your will runs asunder
My legs long tired, tell us where must we wander
How can we carry on with redemptions beyond us

To all of my children in whom...
