Final Fantasy XIV Beta

So I just received access to the Beta of Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn for the PS3. I applied for this months ago on their website so it’s a nice Friday surprise. My hopes aren’t too high as I’ve only heard negative things about the initial release for PC but I’m interested in checking it out. I’ll put a few hours into it tonight and over the weekend and decide if it’s worth the investment at release. I’ve never actually played a MMO so I’m sure I’ll be lost at the start but I’ll sure as hell give it a good attempt.

 FF

Anyone play this originally or playing the beta now?

it was a bitch getting the account set up but it's downloading now.  I'm sure it will be better than the original.  I'm looking forward to it.

Didn't realise it had the additional download following registration and linking of accounts on the PS3. Lame. Guess it'll be tomorrow evening now before I get on

Check their website if you're interested. I'm not sure if there's a limit

Actually good question. It'd be great to be on the same. I'm downloading tonight so if someone doesn't pick by then I'll let you know

Hmmm.  Maybe I will see if I can get in the beta.  I played FFXI for a long time and really liked it.  FFXIV as it was released was a terd.

That's what I hear. They've taken enough time so hopefully it's much improved

I applied.  If I get in, I will choose the same server as you guys.

I got a beta key too, and I was surprised when I saw the email. I had completely forgotten that I signed up. Tongue Out Tell me what server everyones on and I'll join that one.

Ok we just need to pick one... I had totally forgotten too. I applied back in January without putting too much thought into it. Glad I did now

I'm going to join "Marlboro" under the NA/Europe ones like Matt

Darn, I wanted to join Chocobo, but oh well, I guess it doesn't really make that much of a difference.

I joined Marlboro Server. So that's where I'll be.

I joined last night. Seems ok to start but it froze on me after some serious grinding before I could save. I haven't the heart to check when it last saved Cry

There's no way this laptop is handling an MMO, but look forward to your thoughts on it.

I'm playing on the PS3. It's a pretty rough install and set up but graphically I think it looks great

I wanted to give this a go, but given how my HDD is full of PS Home stuff, and my other gaming exploits, I doubt I'd have the space to hold the beta. Looks like I might need to upgrade my PS3 HDD one last time...
