Please improve the collectors edition.

Yes, I like jokes but those two comments just sounded like you needed a restraining order against you both. Jokes like that may be funny between close friends but when you're talking about someone you don't know, its just creepy.

Honestly, we were just saying she was pretty. We weren't planning ways to stalk her. It was a compliment and shouldn't be taken any other way.

wow, someone is pretty = restraining order? where do you live? north korea?

it's a silly joke meant as a compliment that was a tad misplaced i guess or agree with to some point.
why do you feel so offended by it though?
there, there. i bet you're pretty too. happy now? :3

[Pharacelcus]

okay. i agree. we're horrible sexual deviants.
we should be shot for our lack of social interaction.
i'm gonna go outside and chase butterflies now~

Microsoft doesn't want any game passing though Silver Membership period. despite what you may think the issue is with the security of the platform. XI proved one fatal flaw in the XBL framework you could piggy back though Silver Memberships allowing you to play for free on the XBL platform.

I based my comments upon the fact that I worked security at the Redmond campus for a number of years and made friends in the X-Box division. No mention of the problem you stated for FFXI ever came up. You may be right but I am unaware of it.

That wasn't a flaw, that was intent. MS stated it at their own press conference that no additional fee's woudl be neccesary to play it.

The issue with XIV, is the interface and security SE currently uses. Since it would pass through their routing system, it must meet criteria that it currently does not. However that has changed and some rumors will be dispelled in 2013.

Maybe in time it will come to xbox, but many people think the xbox players did nothing but bad for the FFXI community.

And what makes you think the ps3 community would do any better? I wouldn't mind the game being on both consoles... Actually I would LOVE to be able to play it on both consoles.

The collector's edition for FFXIII-2 was very well done in my opinion. If they could replicate it for FFXIV 2.0, or even have a separate one for Legacy members, it would be fantastic.

Stuff they could include would be:

FFXIV 2.0 + Legacy

• Art Journal (much like before, but bigger and with more variations in images)
• Artbook with concept art of both FFXIV 1.0 and 2.0
• Artwork of new areas and of cities (I would LOVE a large portrait of Limsa Lominsa)
• Cloth Map (of new Eorzea)
• Soundtrack covering new and old tracks, or a composer's selection
• Behind the scenes DVD (not the rubbish that was in the first one)
• Guildleve models/keychains
• Soft toys/sculptures (Moogles, chocobo, whatevs)
• Life-size wearable subligar

Legacy only

• Artwork of GC leaders with Dalamud in background
• Cloth with a GC symbol imprinted on it (only one, up to your choice)
• Collection of small job stones (a bit iffy on this one; if jobs still continue into 2.0, then may be part of 2.0 collection)
• T-shirt with Legacy symbol and caption on it

Of course, they don't have to include all I mentioned. Perhaps have the most expensive one contain everything in FFXIV 2.0, then other cheaper, but also worthwhile ones. Legacy edition SHOULD have everything -entitlement streak running through- but really, it's up to them.

An example selection of editions they could release would be:

Crystal Edition (most expensive, geared towards new/returning players who did not play Seventh Umbral Era storyline)

• Game with three pieces of special gear
• Art Journal
• Artbook with concept art of both FFXIV 1.0 and 2.0
• Artworks of new areas and of cities (Framed and HQ - have a selection of them)
• Cloth Maps (of new and old Eorzea)
• Soundtrack covering new and old tracks
• Behind the scenes DVD
• Soft toys/sculptures
• Guildleve models/keychains
• Life-size wearable subligar

Collector's Edition (geared towards new/returning players who just want an extra more to their game)

• Game with one piece of special gear
• Artbook with concept art of both FFXIV 1.0 and 2.0
• Cloth Map (of new Eorzea)
• Composer's Selection of tracks 1 (geared towards new Eorzea)
• Behind the scenes DVD
• Life-size wearable subligar

Legacy Edition (special edition geared towards old players who have stuck through 1.0; will miss out on some items of 2.0, but provide a balance of many materials of 1.0 and 2.0)

• Artwork of GC leaders with Dalamud in background
• Cloth with a GC symbol imprinted on it
• Collection of small job stones
• T-shirt with Legacy symbol and caption on it
• Artbook with concept art of both FFXIV 1.0 and 2.0
• Artwork of new areas and of cities (One, non-framed)
• Cloth Maps (of new and old Eorzea)
• Composer's Selection of tracks 2 (mix of new and old Eorzea)
• Behind the scenes DVD
• Guildleve models/keychains
• Life-size wearable subligar

The above is just a suggestion, but having a variation in items like above, with an appropriate cost, will be accepted and liked for their respective parties, I hope. Ultimately, if they do decide to make packages like this, it's up to them as to what goes in what. Please, SE, do something like this! I'll gladly give my money!

I never said the PS3 community would be better. I also never said I agreed with what people said. But, I never heard of people complaining about PS2 players.

Word, I miscomprehended then. I didn't play enough XI to know how the console players where but I don't see anything wrong with 2.0 being on both systems.
