Yeah, I'd have to agree with this. You may actually end up confusing yourself further if you learn keyboard and mouse controls for 1.0 before heading to 2.0. The systems are going to be pretty different. Worst case scenario: you might end up hating the 1.0 KB+M controls, never giving them a real chance in 2.0 as a result.

I also played 1.0 with a controller, but I haven't decided which system I'll use for 2.0. Both new control schemes look pretty sexy in my opinion. Can't wait to try them both out!

Log in, play with Bravura and Stardust some, see what its like vs other gear. Log back off a few days after I've played with both since I dont need a third game right now to distract me even further from waiting for arr lol.

Btw..alpha..26th..hm? I guess I overlooked that detail in the letter or something, next phase of alpha for outside of japan is at the end of the month?

I was going to think of logging in partly to talk to friends, and partly for something most people on here don't seem to comprehend which is fun, MMOs aren't all about ze uber gearz you can have fun when progress will not be saved into ARR.

However after seeing the End of an era trailer it doesn't feel right to log in.

26th only if last tests went without a hitch. Now to pray them bringing 1.0 back up doesn't affected ARR....>.>

Um... it won't, they don't need a whole team of devs running in a hamster wheel to power them, why else would it affect ARR, 1.0 is getting NO more updates, the most they need is a cleaner to hit the restart button every now and then.

Never doubt SE, weirder things happen when they're involved with something.

The message when you look at lodestone or try to sign in says: "SERVERS OFFLINE!"

This message is wrong. The servers ARE up!

It is weird signing on. I was on my Choco with the crashed airship overhead. Everything is eerily quiet.

Already unistalled. Brining it back after the grand finale is a bit meh.

The only thing I would log back in ever for is if they redid the final cutscene to involve OUR characters and we can watch it from our inn room now that there's no chance of anyone leaking the CS before the final event. But as that is not going to happen, already uninstalled, see you all in ARR.
