I read and reread this "question" many times and still can't find the question in it so you may want to edit this one Allistar. Try words like when, where, how, why, will, etc to start one brief sentence, and have everything else you talk about there come after the question. The question is the important part and I just don't think you're getting that question across... Instead it seems like a list and I don't understand what you're trying to get at by listing a bunch of random FFXI and/or FFXIV features. A question mark at the end of said list doesn't make it a question.

Wil Voice over Internet Protocal be introduced or considered in this game,not talking a seprate software VOIP but built into the game, or will this be considered in the future, most MMO's use this feature would love to see it in ARR.

will be possible to change name at the official release?

Will FFXIV 2.0 be available on the PS4?

Will there be a A Ream Reborn fan site kit made available?
What about a Lodestone API for characters, items, etc?

Will you be able to purchase subscription options on the Playstation store when the game is released?

Will female miqo'te players from version 1.0 be able to switch their character's gender to male at the launch of ARR?

If the latter, how will you distinguish jobs from one another when their base classes are the same ? Won't they have mostly the same abilities ? What about weapons ? It would be silly to have 3 or 4 jobs that all use the same weapon.

If the former, then classes seem unnecessary. In 1.0, players already proved that jobs can be just as effective at soloing as classes can, if not more effective. So this justification for classes has become invalid. How will you validate the need for classes if they will inevitably upgrade to a more powerful job ?

This is the best I can navigate forums...

will our character's personality grow up in the course of the main story?
what i mean is:
it's ok if at start our character is shy, or he needs always to be rescued, becouse after all we are just recruits or "new adventurers".
but i would like that once you start to raise your rank doing missions and quest and you become well-known from city to city, then our character instead of thinking "oh damn, a big enemy! help!" will shout "stay behind me, i'll handle this!"
i think this would made the character much more "alive";


(p.s. sorry for my bad english)

It's possible they were implications on inquires... FFXIV bazaar system is stable in my opinion however price setting changes fast and can jump a fair amount. Personally there was FFXI lingo spoken so let me do the auction house for a moment / market. HQ +1~3? should be on a different tab (an opinion) hard to locate and lots of time wasted searching the Market. Okay, so lets add in this chart for refrence with money variance.

Spell Name NPC price? Auction house price?

Blink 2376 1250-4300
Diaga 1320 750-2400
Banishga 1320 575-2100
Stoneskin 7962 4500-8750
Thunder 3696 2750-5250
Sleep 2550 1650-3250
Burn 5263 2500-7250
Drown 7215 3450-9725

Inventory space was set to be 200 spaces and now a change to 100 spaces. An event NPC will have any item overflow from the 200... Delivery system and trade system 8 slots... 4 isn't enough when crafting takes 6 and money / crystals are needed. After that rant I suppose I'll go with they were directed at why they wont use any of the things that worked in FFXI...

Forgive me if I'm not going to search through a forum and see if it's been posted... Easy to reply that it's been posted so I can remove it.

Already been confirmed. You can redo your character for launch keeping job levels, items, etc.

Question:

Will we be able to link items in chat? IE: I drag an icon to the chat bar and then anyone who clicks the item name brings up that item's tool tips.

Will it be possible for us to link items from our inventory to others so they can look at it, so that we would not need them to be nearby to view something we would like them to see?

Question:

Aside from the Golden Saucer and Crystal Tower, will there be any other "easter eggs" from the Final Fantasy series? Will we see the Buster sword marking a grave on a hill outside Ul'Dah for example? Or Garnet's necklace on display in the GSM Guild?

ARR + PLAYSTATION 4 = ARR with no limits on a gaming console.


Will we see FFXIV 2.0 on a Playstation 4? It is noted Playstation 4 is a "super gaming computer but supercharged".

Fishing in ARR

Can we get some info please.

What exactly is the Hunting Log, why is it important to have in phase 1 of the beta test, and why has there been literally 0 info posted about it?

is it something similer to HNM/NM hunting/camping in XI?

with the server infastructure changing, my LS has had a lot of questions and debate over it and i was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.

we know there will be server hubs located in EU and NA, thats great, but will they be linked to specific servers only? ie, im on hyperion right now, say after the releace, will i have to join... servername 2, in order to have an NA located server? or is it going to be linked on a login basis based on your home IP address or something like that?

basically we wanna know, will we have to change servers to be on a closer server hub?

Will there be large scale non-instanced endgame content based on a zone, similer to sky/sea?

is there a better system being placed to describe elemental and lunar effects on abilities/crafting?

is there any plans to add HNM's in a traditional manner? ie, 24+ hour pop times, 20M+ fight of an incredibly hard mob?

will housing structures (more specifically larger free company projects) incorperate some sort of buff system to its members when in the vacinity? sort of like crafting bonuses, or bonus rested exp, maybe an HQ rate bonus?

is there any plan to enable double attack traits, or weapons with more then 1 attack (monk aside)

will free companies have a way to remove members while they are not online, and what tools will it have over a linkshell in order to make it more team oriented?

last question...
will there be a new collectors edition for ARR on pc, or just on ps3, if even that?

can we get a list of servers for beta so established groups can plan ahead before day one of which server we shall all be playing on

How many servers will there be in the beta? Will it be the same names/numbers at the official launch?

I don't know if this has been asked before but here goes. In the PS3 version it looked as though there were screen jumps or glitches as the camera and character moved. I want to know if that is something being fixed in beta and/or if it was just a problem because it was being recorded and doesn't actually look like that while playing. I just want the visual experience to be fluid not choppy.

Could the fringe and the haircut be customize separately? Will there be a lot of new haircut?

There isn't any (for the moment) haircut with long hair, it may be because of it beeing hard to animate, i don't know but if possible having some would'nt be bad.

Will all the mount be able to jump?

Now we can jump, someday will the character be able to swim?

I really liked the aspect in FF11 of farming scrolls and finding chests in areas, since there is no scroll system, What sort of adventuring aspects as far as world exploration will we have to look foward too?

What is that GIGANTIC Adamantoise in the Exploration Video at the 3.00 minute mark? Is it gonna some type of HNM fight? Same thing regarding the Cactus Rapido on the video?

Is there any plans to implement materia that can give special abilities and lvl to be permanently learned then replaced?

In the gamepad video it was shown the the R1 button would scroll through sets of the cross hotbar in rotation 1>2>3>4 etc through to 8 and back to 1. Will there will be any button assigned to scroll though sets in reverse rotation 4>3>2>1>8?



Lost the discussion thread so replying here

In some articles it was stated that PS3 optimization is only about 75% complete and because of this framerate etc was suffering some but would be sorted in time for PS3 beta to start in Phase 3

Im a huge Greatsword fan, will we see them at any time in the future!?

As far as limit breaks go can we select our own and combined elements or will we be forced to use a party meter?

PLD is where my heart is, in 1.0 cooldowns were to long on abilities and there was a lack in crowd control, it was stated that every class was getting retooled i was wondering if pld will get something like shield throw or some new cc abilities a directional not like traited flash aoe?
