What happens when "early access" is "cancelled" by server fail?

Something I really wish is that they unlocked Reaper already.
So we could level it to 80 and play the story right away as Reaper.

They wouldn't do this because releasing new jobs functionally splits off a big portion of the playerbase at a critical time, preventing new areas from becoming too overloaded with players rushing the MSQ.

Yeah I am just rly hyped about Reaper, and I am pretty worried about spoilers this time around <_<.

I'm having flashbacks to Raubahn EX, with the lines people were forming. Good times.

But yeah, it's gonna be fine. Long login queues, maybe some disconnects. It's gonna be fine.

I'm like 99% sure this is also why every expansion msq early on gives you a choice of two different zones to go to before becoming fully linear after.

Turn off chat channels. Don't look at social media. Your real life friends will have other ways to contact you if they want to chat, and they're going to be much better at respecting your wish to avoid spoilers if they also play the game.

I don't know about you guys, but like... I'm not counting on early access being... accessible.

Then don't buy it.

I figure some longer login queues, maybe a server crash or two, the inevitable DDOS attacks, but nothing that will really cause many problems for Early Access. I intend to spend those 4 days leveling Reaper and Sage to 80, and once that's done, then dipping a toe into MSQ, I really want to savor the end of the story arc, not down it in a huge gulp.

do you even get anything if you reach endgame fast?
the only weekly thing is tomestones but do those even start at expansion launch? I only played stormblood at launch and quit part way because the story was boring.
whats the point, gonna go level sage

[Omedon]

I hate to say I told you so...

Hooray for Switch backlog!
