Why FFXIV saving before 1 NOV? Why OCT 31?

Dammit. I was hoping it would be like 11:59 PM on the first. I took the whole final week of 1.0 off from work too =(

I lost IQ points thinking about why someone felt the need to make this thread.

I agree mustache- beard man.

Arent we starting new characters in the beta? Not sure why we need them to start beta. Unless maybe they are going to wipe the data as soon as it is converted.. XD that's scary lol

Pretty sure they originally planned us on using our characters but later said that they dont think it is possible - and that we can use the benchmark to load our characters and modify them and implant a code provided to make our characters from that benchmark.

initially, the test will use new characters, yes, but we will be using our real ones before its over (e.g. before the game is released to the general public). Whether you want to call that part of the beta or not is up to you.

If it doesnt save progress, then I'll say that is part of the beta :P.

That is something to look forward to, then I can make a new character get the feel and then try my old one out. Make a better race choice, maybe still the same but w.e lol

No ARR until March, guys.
Don't get your hopes up.

No ARR until July 2015 guys.

We're all going to log in using NerveGears (or something equivalent).

Id gladly wait for that....

I'm not sure I'd wait that long, but if I'd definitely want support for it later on down the road if we did get something like it.

In the short term, I'm hoping SE takes a look at the Oculus Rift. That would be cool.

We've been in a beta for 2 years with our characters. A month with ARR can still be a beta.

A beta isn't necessarily measured by if your data carries over or not. Many games have had betas where people get to keep what they did during it.

how about we all take a breather and realize that the time has finally come for the game to be redone. after all the hate that has been smeared on this game ( not including us ) lets take a step back, appreciate what weve done, and actually do something outside of eorzea

(i say this because school has restricted me from playing and im kinda glad i am not gonna be missing out on much, nyahh lol)
