***Official Final Fantasy XIV Thead***

Haven't really kept up with this as I didn't make it into the Beta. Just phoned a high street store who told me it's out on the 30th, but seen people on here going to be playing tonight/tommorow? Is that from pre-order of the Collectors Edition only?

Yeah you get an early start with the CE version.

I never played the last ff online, but the billing does sound slightly different on this game to your normal mmo, you buy something called Crysta ?

For people with the Collectors, Have you set up your subscription yet? if so does it charge you now, or is the manual telling the truth saying you wont be billed until after your 30 day trial?

Reason I ask is I have no money in my account yet, and dont want it taking what i dont have..

My sub is set up, game is registered and I'm all ready to log in when the servers come up (5-6 hours).

First 30 days are free. After that you pay £6.89 per 30 days, but that doesn't include any character slots.

It's £2.10 for every character slot, including the first one. So basic sub one character is £8.99 as advertised after the end of the 30 free days. You don't get charged anything by SE for the first 30 days, no matter how many character slots you select.

They offer 30, 90 and 180 subs, with discount for longer terms.

I wrote a quick guide on setting your account up on my guild site (we're going on Lindblum). Give me a couple mins I'll go look it up and copy paste it here.



EDIT : If you use a credit card it goes via the 'Click to Buy' system, which takes £2.50 out of your account as a test to set it all up. I think it gets refunded, but not instantly.

1. Go to https://secure.square-enix.com/account/ and login.

2. Select 'Select Service' under 'Select Options' and choose FFXIV. Click 'Add Service'.

3. If you haven't before you confirm personal details then enter your FFXIV registration code off the back of the game manual.

4. A number of new options appear along the main menu down the left hand side of the screen, under the heading, 'Payment and Service Fees'. Select 'Register / Update Card information'. It takes you through a procedure that sets up payment authorisation for transactions made on your account.

5. You are taken back to the main menu. For a second time, select 'Select Service' under 'Select Options' and choose FFXIV.

6. Under Active Service Accounts, Final Fantasy XIV is listed. Choose the option next to it - 'Options List'. Next to Character, Choose Add New Options. You then activate character slots. Note you don't pay anything for the first month, so you can choose 8 character slots and not pay anything. Cancel some of them before the end of the first month or it gets very expensive, though.



7. Any bonus item codes are entered in the same way and place as you entered your FFXIV game activation code in section (2) above.


Once this is done you are all set and ready to play when the servers go live.


I'd suggest doing as much of the above as possible as soon as possible (now). It's quite convoluted and the system will get hammered tomorrow.
 
Couldnt stay awake long enough to start it last night, But its all nice and smooth for me this morning, Toshie Karven on Trabia if anyone wants to say hello!
 
Finally gave up at 4:30 this morning, but as of 10am everything is working fine, got logged in no probs.

Started in Gridania, on Trabia server. Toon name = Roslyn Nicus if you want to say hi. :)
 
The lagginess of it all was what I didn't like about it.

Some things seemed to take forever as well (like selling items) but I can put up with that.
 
I foolishly thought I would be able to get a copy down town today, none of the places even knew it was out today.

So, I've ordered one online from GAME. Not much better, it still says it's a pre order on their site :(
 
Could do with some help if anyone knows anything about Blacksmithing in this game, I just did the first Blacksmithing local Levequest by complete fluke as I had no idea what I was pressing, But after doing it, it says I now have the recipe to create something new, How do I see this said recipe?
