Simply question about "Beta phase 1"

Pretty sure they already said all jobs would be available at phase 1.

Probably not including Arcanist though, right? I think Arcanist should be available for testing. Since it's a new class, it'll probably need to be tested too. Might as well put it in the beta.

I would say probably not. Beta for 1.0 was not limited to LL jobs, while I believe alpha was.

Difference: they didn't lock you out if you started in a city without the right guild. You can buy the weapons for everything in every city, it wasn't until later did they change what the NPCs sold.

Technically, that can be tested internally since we're not going to be testing every class/job addition they add if ARR goes on long enough.

I don't think we will be able to considering you have to open up the classes at the guilds!

Yoshi-p said that in todays letter, but I was wondering one specific thing - Does this mean its limited to Gridania jobs again?

Not the hugest deal, but it is something that came to my mind, personally, when reading it. I'm excited as all heck and semi-impatient, but I am ok to wait more. But, that said I was wondering about this.

*glomps RenRen* :3

Well, it seems that way that it will just be CNJ, LNC and ARC at the start for phase 1 again, but really, it's only for a few weeks - the other cities and classes will be available in the later phases so don't worry (plus, we'll have our 1.0 characters in phase 3 which is only a month or two away too ).

Also, the cap will be different this time.

I think we'll just have the Gridania classes since Grid only has the guilds for them. If we got all the classes they'd have to put in temporary NPCs just so that we could advance through the class. I personally don't mind. I'm content with CNJ, ARC, LNC, BTN, LTW, and CRP.

I think this ^ is probably accurate for a few reasons. It's not as easy as just being able to equip the weapon anymore, I'm unable to elaborate just yet though, unfortuantely.

Ya never know, they may have things in place to allow the use of the other non-Gridanian classes until Uldah and Limsa is accessible.

It was alreadys stated that all jobs would be available from phase 1. I'm at work so I can't search for the exact article, but I'm 100% sure I read that somewhere. It's as simple as temporary NPCs. I'm sure anyone who played in any Alpha test can atest to that. They'll unlock the class quest whenever they give full access to the entire game world.

The beta roadmap implies that they will be available in phase 2 actually. Sorry for the misinformation earlier. I apparently was inflicted with a case of H.U.A. syndrome.
