Did anyone get to play in beta phase 1 of FFXIV-2?

>> No.10542600

No, they never let me in.

>> No.10542662

Yes, it was abysmal

I got to character creation yesterday but when I finished, the servers were down. I tried again today and they were down again. I should check the website for a schedule but I don't really care enough to check.

Was it really? After downloading the benchmark, I started getting excited. What's wrong with it?

>> No.10542831

It's a pretty game but the combat is bad.

>>10542742
It was only up for one day, next test will be on the weekend. There's already a schedule posted on the beta forums.

>>10542783
Weren't MMOs allowed as long as they are Japanese? I don't agree with it but I remember there was a rule like that at some point.

>> No.10542852

>>10542831
It was some arbritrarily drawn line over some mmo drama that happened a while ago.

I would really like to play but I didn't get in phase 1 after sending an application. Does anyone know if phase 2 will be available to everyone?

>> No.10542858

I think it was phase 3 or 4 that's open.

It looks like their phase 1 testing is staggered and only for a few hours at a time.

>> No.10545534

The combat is pretty similar to most MMOs in that it's a lot like WoW or any other target-hotkey based system out there.

Still a good game in my opinion, I appreciate the fact that it's one of the few MMO's that doesn't downscale everything so the cities are actually reasonably large and the game doesn't instantly obsolete your old gear whenever you find an upgrade.

I'm playing XI until official release of ARR I think. Getting through the old mission content solo now the cap is 99.

2+ second delay on everything. server crashes, shitty starting area (I was lvl4 before engaging in combat)

Does FFXIV use a class system like FFXI did?

God I want an evolving class system, I hate just
>pick your class at start
>ha ha now you are that class forever and will do the same things forever from level 3 onwards

I can't even play MMOs like that for 10 levels. FFXI's advanced job system is such a great incentive to play on.

>> No.10545806

>>10545786
Sort of, at least back in 1.2x~. Didn't get into the ARR Alpha or Beta so can't speak about that.
You can switch classes like in XI, but your class is tied to the weapon you have equipped. Sword > Gladiator, Lance > Lancer, Staff > Thaumaturge etc.
It used to be once you hit level 30, you could initiate a quest chain that'd change your class into a Job, GLD > PLD, LNC > DRG, THM > BLM etc., which had extra abilities that the base class couldn't access but in exchange was limited in what cross class abilities it could equip. Doing the quest chains would get you your AF and said Job Abilities.

>> No.10545826

>>10545806
You could freely switch between base class and job, as well, should probably mention that.

That sounds extremely pleasant.

>> No.10545952

>>10545861
Actually, XI's system was a lot better in my opinion. The whole advancement system makes the base class feel like you are just using it for stats, and the actual job feel like it provides no real progression outside of gear and abilities.

In XI, even the six base classes were on equal footing with the advanced ones at endgame.

The job quests were amazing in that game too, actually in general, XI was the only MMO where I was heavily invested in the lore just because the questlines were so well written.

>> No.10545983

>>10545952
I sort of liked what little storyline we had in 1.0, as overall it felt a bit more personal compared to XI. In XI it always felt more like you were just sort of there on the sidelines while watching the NPCs do the important stuff.
Granted, I stopped playing before the mini-expansions and all that due to my account getting hacked so I dunno about any of that stuff.
Thought that preference may have also be for the sweet sweet catharsis from finally clearing Van Darnus which I never really experienced in XI.

>> No.10547367

Look, yet ANOTHER on rails MMO that's pretending to be improved upon hitting a more limited version that doesn't even have stat growth or anything.

Cool, keep removing all the unique ideas it ever had, it's not like it won't be the same SHIT game or anything.

I'm really tired of the new mmo nowadays, it's just the same thing over and over again, no one try to take the risk to be original...

Did anyone make it to Limsa Lominsa? What does it look like?

Are there any free private servers for FFXI

ideally with all the expansions

I don't know how to look these things up

>> No.10547477

>>10547468
Not really.

The only two are pretty shit so far, they lack all of the recent content, specially all the Abyssea stuff.

It's pretty sad, I wish they started working harder on it.

>> No.10547541

>>10547537
It wasn't during the beta, but I could see it being fun after launch. The beta suffered from extreme latency (upwards of 10 seconds) due to the dynamic events being scaled up for stress testing, as well as the entire server being pushed into 1-2 zones essentially.

>> No.10547609

>>10547527
They should just turn it f2p already, I've been waiting years and when I heard they were having some big important event during the recent Anniversary I was hyped for the move, but it just turned to be a revival of an already dying MMO with an expansion. Ok.

I won't miss it at all if they never turn it f2p anyway.
