I've just registered the full game on my PS3, ready for early access now!

[Scarlett.]

I just played my first raid, Stastsha, it was a lot of fun!

[Tom4784]

I may give this a go next week.

[Scarlett.]

If you get the game, there's a month free time, I get why the game is subscription now, they plan to have major updates every three months. Also, I'd rather pay a sub for everything than to have microtransactions in game.

The 2.1 update will bring housing, PvP and a few new bosses.

[Scarlett.]

There is apparently going to be an in game faire for the next few weeks, starting next week

[Ramsay]

I really really really really want to get this but with gta v, PS plus and the new consoles on their way soon i just can't afford a subscription based MMO at the minute..maybe in a year or something lol

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, I wasnt sure about getting it with GTA V coming out lol, but I'm glad I did. I've got a whole bunch of screenshots saved on the PS3, I'll upload them all tommorow

[Scarlett.]

Giant Moogle! *shivers*


Titanic!

Ifrit's gonna kill me so bad

[Tom4784]

Looking good, there's a good chance I'll get this tomorrow.

[Scarlett.]

The servers can get quite full between 6-11pm, but its easy enough to get in if you spam X for 10 mins or so, lol. They're planning on fixing the servers at the start of next week, so that it will run smoothly at all times.

[Scarlett.]

They're extending the free trial to current players, to say thanks for bearing with them

[Scarlett.]

I got my chocobo! I named it Quina, lol.

By the way, if anyone on TiBB does join, try and get on the Adamantoise world.

[Tom4784]

I've never once been infuriated this much by a game before I've even had chance to play it. Hopefully I'll be able to actually PLAY it before I die of old age.

[Scarlett.]

They're upgrading the systems, they say most issues will be gone by Wednesday
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...17#post1132817

Though, servers are much easier to access earlier in the day, its only around 6-11pm that there is massive congestion.

[Tom4784]

I've created a catperson character on one of the japanese servers to try out the game while I wait for Adamantoise and Phoenix to be unrestricted so I can create my real characters.

I've decided I'll play as a little guy Arcanist on the Phoenix Server and either a human or elf archer on the Adamantoise server.

[Scarlett.]

Awesome, hopefully you'll be able to get onto Adamantoise soon, they periodically remove restrictions as the starting areas clear up I'll hopefully get a free company (aka guild) up and running by the time you're on Adamantoise

[Tom4784]

I've enjoyed what I've played so far though, I expected it to control horribly on the PS3 but the controls are quite intuitive.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, the only real complaint I'd have is the targetting, but they're aware it needs some fine tuning and are working on it What I love about the game is every few levels you unlock something new to do.

[Tom4784]

I've managed to create a character on Adamantoise so I'll probably start playing as him tomorrow. Hopefully I get just as lucky with Phoenix as all my other friends are on that server.

[Scarlett.]

Awesome, this is my Adamantoise character

[Tom4784]

Cool, this is mine. I'm level 7 atm and I've got some new clothes but it hasn't updated it yet.

[Scarlett.]

The game fixing maintenance will be taking place on Wednesday 1am-11am, after that, things should be a lot easier to play.

[Tom4784]

Ah good, I've also finally managed to create a Phoenix Character so I can play with my other friends. Fear, thy name is Dynamo.
