asking again, why should i get the $30 2013 version over an old 2010 box for much cheaper?



Also why is ps3 one $40? It's the same game right? Or is that cost of printing discs, so will psn version be $30?

Because the Art-book will be awesome and it's the reason why many V1.0 CE owners are buying this new CE regardless of already getting the new game and bonus items for free.

Console games are usually more expensive than PC games, so licensing fees (from Sony) would be my guess. No idea about the PS Store pricing, but might not be cheaper than retail, they usually aren't.

PSN invites are being sent out today, Bayohne just confirmed it on Gamespot stream.

Fake edit: Also many people in the beta forums started getting the PS3 codes via email.

Best news ever that they removed the GCD from all abilities. Was so stupid to use an ability and be locked from using any of the others. This should make the game a lot more engaging as well.

There's people that are just registering to the beta forums after receiving the PS3 code, so it's not like they were already beta testers, there might be, but some of these people posting just registered there.

Aww, thought since I had the FFXIII code I would be a shoe in for the PS3 Beta.

Hopefully their not done sending them out yet. Guess I'll just settle for PC if so though.

Oh sorry, I mixed things up. You'd only miss on the pre-order items and early access I guess.

The bonus in-game items (a "Cait Sith Doll Minion" and "Mog Cap") will be delivered to the account that the pre-order bonus code has been registered to.

Mog Cap
Show your love for the fluffy Moogle by wearing this cap as you adventure through Eorzea! This headpiece can be equipped by all classes at level one.

Cait Sith Doll Minion
Adventurers can often be found with their own personal minion by their side as they tame the wilds of Eorzea. By pre-ordering either the standard or collector's edition you will receive a "Cait Sith Doll" minion!
* Minions are vanity pets that do not have any affect on a player's stats.

I see. Seems less hassle if I just go digital tbh lol. Whats a good resource for me to catch up on this? Looks promising and gorgeous, but never played FF11 or FF14 original.

mmo experience range from tons of grindy korean 3d mmos, 2d mmos, action mmos, tera, tor, a bit of wow, a bit of tera.

Arcanist > Scholar or Summoner

All classes will branch into multiple jobs, Arcanist will be the first one where this happens.

I think I'm pretty interested in giving this a fair shake. Sounds like they really tried to make things a lot deeper. Really busy combat means I start getting nervous about latency, but what else is new.

You should get the pre-order items if you pre-order digitally too. You don't really need to "catch up on" or anything, if you do want to know the story of the previous version, you can check the cutscene videos on youtube tho. But this game is made thinking on people that have never played FFXIV or a MMO. The story from the previous version will be touched up in-game as well.

I signed up for this beta ages ago and still haven't received an invite for PC or PS3, /shakes fist. I'm assuming it's a random lottery system for people who didn't play earlier on?

Yep, you could have a chance for PS3 since I think they're still sending the invites.

-You could say the game is heavily influenced by WoW or GW2.

-You change your weapon, you change your class, as simple as that, it can be done on the fly (except inside dungeons).

-There is a system similar to an AH.

-Chocobos can jump but that's it, there are Airships, but not personal ones.

-There's a system called Content Finder which is matchmaking for dungeons.

-Game has been on NDA until now, but from this weekend onwards there will be screenshots overload, so you will get to see lots of risque images.

Also, just watch the videos released by SE that talk about how the game plays and so on.

How many people pre ordered from the square website? It looks like only the square website has any copies of the CE for the PC left. I heard bad things about getting your game on time though. Kind of wished I pre ordered earlier since I could have just used my amazon prime.

Its so nice to have all these MMOs coming out on PS4 (FF14/PS2/ESO/DCUO) because my friend who isnt a PC gamer can finally play these with me. Really looking forward to FF14.

About 5 hours untils start. You should start as Conjurer then.

Yes, each class is levelled separately, cap is level 50 (35 for beta), you can share many abilities from one class to another, like in other FF games where you use abilities from other jobs.

They started sending them since yesterday, and they will probably continue sending more even after this first test weekend is over.

I guess this is as good a place to ask as any.

Is this reboot as good as FFXI? I used to play it on ps2 for a few years. The thing I loved was it actually felt like an mmo you had to team up with people there was real community. stuff like wow just doesn't feel the same.
