can someone slap one of them?
that's completely not the reason why ARR PC CE can't apply to 1.0 standard account...

Are you watching it right now?

Care to give us the skinny on this pilot?

[Deli]

I was hearing...cus I am still in a boring meeting XD
but that thing get me so mad I wanna sign up an account and explain it.
The most offended me was actually, if you are not sure or don't know, please just say I'm not sure. Not pretend "I'm the expert" and continue blah blah blah 3 mistakes in a roll...

for ppl didn't hear it his main mistake:
1. SE account can only hold one ff14 PC and one PS3 account. Wrong can up to 8. doesn't matter to which plateform.
2. So 1.0 standard account holder has to use the available PS3 account to get the in game item. Wrong. If you setup additional PS3 account, you won't get the in game items for your 1.0 standard account char.
3. There is no ff14 PC account or ff14 PS3 account. Only FF14 account. that's it....but I'm not sure what the account will look like after you link PS3 account to it tho.

/squeeze stress ball ^^;

Correct answer for 1.0 standard account holder must get PS3 CE to get all the benefits [I think] is because SE received lots complain the previous CE contain 2 codes: item code and account code that's confusing. [truth here] Then, they made another mistake that combine it. So, now in order to get the in-game item, you have to get the new account -> you can't add to your old 1.0 standard account. and it's LINK PS3 to your old account, not make PS3 account for it. hopes no one will follow his suggestion.

oh well, why I explain it here... thx for watching tho XD

the rest are more or less the truth tho... but I skipped a little in the middle.

Perhaps I'm stating the obvious... but apparently chief currahee is not alone. There is a similar plant advertising the show in Beta forum.

And apparently the show is affiliated with Curse, the ones that made the Core Refugees refugees by axing ffxivcore's fansite.

I think in the beta forums it's the same people starting both posts, which is fine no rules against that. And if this excites people about the game, more power to them...but I think the damage has been done towards the Legacy/1.0 stuck around crowd. Not only that, most of the 1.0 vets that kept playing found other podcasts,sites and information sources they now subscribe to/prefer.

So I guess it's good for ARR for people who previously dismissed the game to be actively promoting it/supporting it again. But they have a long way to go to win back the 1.0 crowd....

I'll be sticking to my preferred podcast source (not GBTV)...as well, I know one of the lalas (by accident too LOL)

I started the thread on the beta forums as well, I'm not a plant. I'm just trying to get outside official/beta forum support for the game.

I'm not happy with the way GB.tv handled FFXIV news/comments through the ver 1.x updates and ver 2.0 sneak peaks. I wanted us fans to be there in force to show support for the game, and to correct them when they report something inaccurate.

Hey there, I am not a fan of Curse. Normal people join companies like TGN, Machinima and Curse to protect their youtube channel. Accusing them of promoting evil and hatred is miss-placed. Curse do deserve some hate but at the end of the day they shut down a dead website. Why did it die? The creation of this official forum killed Core back in March 2011.

P.S. Just want to point out GBTV is not affiliated with Curse it was one of the guest hosts.

A lot of fan sites slowed down after the official forums got up to speed mid-2011. Some are still very slow or dormant to this day. But Core really started picking back up around End of v1 timeframe, and was getting many new members and returnees as interest in ARR alpha and beta grew. What Curse killed was far from dead. It was growing.

I did say they shut down a website, and they also displaced a fan community while they were at it. This wasn't in 2011, but in May of 2013. News predicting 2.0 release were already underway. The actual date came 3 days later.

I'm just stating the facts from blogs that covered this. They are 2 organizations that decided to burn their bridges with their intended audience for this show. So..."Best of luck to them"?

I remember just a few months ago where the writers at gamebreaker didn't give a rats ass about the game. Constantly putting the 2.0 remake down and not researching anything saying it was going to be garbage. I was trying to find the video they had (think it was in November after the ending trailer and alpha screenshots/videos where released.) But they did not research a damn thing and constantly said how bad the game is going to be. (Edit. found the post on it Gamebreaker.tv Thread.)

I used to watch Gamebreaker.tv all the time. Every show.... I will give them a second chance (I stopped watching them entirely after they started informing players incorrect & poor information about ARR.) I hope Scott Winters (sp?) isn't going to be on the show. He is extremely biased in a negative way about the Final Fantasy Franchise.

Good Luck GBTV... I own a very faded out t-shirt of yours. Make me want to watch your content once again...

Ehn... IDK... Gary sunk resources into a show for a complete train wreck failure of a game (1.0), I can easily see why he would still be skeptical & quick to bash an alpha video (that video was awful btw). Their shows didn't have 2-3 sponsors back then like they do now.

But as time went on and more beta footage came out and those guys got into the beta themselves, the coverage got more & more positive. I thought the new show was fine. They might have gotten a few minor points wrong, but instead of whining on these forums, why not post in the comments on the XIV Reborn page and let them know so they will do a better show next time?

Bottom line is someone who isn't an FF fanboy/girl might see that show and take an interest. For the most part this game is probably going to pull in mostly FF fans, but if an outside outlet can bring in people that might not normally pay attention to the game, then more power to them.

Arkham is correct. Core was starting to get a lot more interest with the new information being released about ARR. There was a lot of things going on in the background for the Core that only those involved are privy to that knowledge.

The official forums did take a lot of traffic from smaller websites, but the Core was far from dead and Curse refused to put any resources into the website, even when several new members were starting to register and visit the site frequently.

Anyway, sorry to detract from the OP. I read Deli's post and it's a bit discouraging that they don't have their facts straight regarding FF14 accounts. If you don't positively know how things work then you shouldn't discuss them. It only hurts your credibility and it's not a good way to get off the ground.
