Can't login, no character data (cactuar)

unable to obtain Character data on all my characters and before when I try to login it says no world data. Now curently im in queue that doesnt move. Is something happening right now or?

Me and 3 others were just finish HoH and are all having the exacvt same issue. Unable to obtain charactre data with a queue of over 2,000 and no change in that number. Anyone else being affected?

Same here, got kicked out after finishing prae run.

No character data loading, queue: 1604 and stuck

Yep same here. Booted, "Unable to obtain character data" and queue size is unchanged.

I'm having that same issue actually. I'm in a que that's 2,775, number is unchanging and no character data can be retrieved. Maybe our server is being DDOS'ed?

Already been said, but same here. Poor timing on my part, could've logged in earlier and done roulettes and such. But I was all like "it can wait until after I've made dinner," well, apparently not. XD

Not a DDOS since we were booted while in game. Really odd though to be sure.

Oh yeah, it's definitely weird as all hells for sure.

Seems to be only affecting Cactuar

Okay, so I logged out of the client and logged it back in. My character data is showing now, but there is still an unchanging que O.o

Update: Okay so the que is now changing but it takes it a bit. Maybe the issue corrected itself? Still weird though.

I'm not sure what exactly happened but I don't think we'll be able to get back in for a while. It's a shame, though, it hit me just when my friends and I cleared a12s and I think it didn't save our drops...

Edit: since I stayed in queue I managed to pop back fairly quick and, thankfully, we didn't lose our win and drops, so no harm done on our end. It was pretty weird, but likely a serverside issue

Queue is moving for me (slowly down) and I'm scared to logout for fear of loosing my spot :)

I wonder if FFXIV needs to ramp up their servers since everyone is leaving that other game.

Here to join the line of players having this issue. Hi guys!

I am also stuck trying to return home to Sargatanas from Cactuar! It disconnected me while transferring then just puts me in a queue that doesn't move.

Honestly, they may have to again. The last time I seen something of this caliber was back when HW was in Early Access as well as Stormblood. Shadowbringers went pretty smoothly.

It could very well be a server side issue since so many new players are joining the game though, could also have something to do with the PS5 integration, but unsure why that would 'cause this other than goes back to a possible server overload.

Finally showing my character again, 2716 player queue, lol. At least the Character Selection background music is nice to listen to.

Yeah I got home from dance, logged in, in que of 2700 plus. Logged out. Gonna try tomorrow. Have a good night everyone. I'm sure they will fix it by then.
