Incoming OPEN BETA!! this weekend guys and gals if you haven't tried it yet, toons made during this phase won't be wiped so make sure you roll like if it were release. BTW I'm Rolling again on Gilgamesh.
 
I was going to roll on Diablolos, but if my fellow Tab members are going to Gilgamesh then that is where I will also go.
 
I never made it past taking the first quest in this game. Does it get better later?
 
the first 15 levels are standard MMO kill gather quest and basic tutorial, but after that I thought the game really opens up and involves you more in the world as well as giving you numerous activities to enjoy.

My main problem was having to listen to every quest giver ramble on for 30 minutes haha. The pace of the game just seemed way too slow for me.

That's what ruined it for me as well. 2.5s GCD without casting movement really bogged it down for me. And I literally had to alt tab and walk away during the intro cinema.

The crafting/gathering system is a lot of fun though. I've convinced myself not to play it, but that is the only thing that would change my mind.
 
Love Final Fantasy but never tried their MMO's. Its on PS3 so i may wait till next year when i have some money to spend on games. I doubt it will go F2P since they usually keep their online games with a subscription.
 
I"ll check out this open beta. I love FF games as a general rule, and, as a lore whore, slow pace and lots of story are usually my cup of tea.

I know nothing about the game, though, so I'm sure it will be a steep learning curve for me. I have no plans to buy the game.
 
ok here is the thing. It caters to people who never played a MMORPG before for the first 15 lvls of the game while giving you THAT Final Fantasy Experience FF fans expect outta any FF game... that includes the pace, the 2.5sec Global cooldown reminds me of classic FF games where you have to actually wait for a gauge to fill to attack or your "turn" that's the way it works early in the game, but as you progress they start giving you extra abilities that do NOT sit down on the GCD and the mechanics only get better AND BETTER!!

Imagine it this way, it's a journey for a traditional RPG gamer, more so a classic Final Fantasy player from the EXTREMELY easy hand holding quest driven game it starts as, to a very dynamic more fast paced and very different from your other MMORPGS game.

The only thing I can tell you is that if you judge the game based only on the tutorial levels you are deffinitely missing out. Having said all that I totally understand why some of you may be put off by some of the characteristics of the early game, then again the game is only $30 with the first month included... and WS is releasing when???? ok. I'll be playing FFXIV meanwhile if not also during WS launch, the world is just soooo beautiful I can't help it besides when you lvl up that FF jingle gets me every single fukin time!! /glee
 
Maybe I'll give this a shot this weekend since it's open. Depends on what I've got going on.
 
I thought I was going to roll Marauder until I found out that's a tank... so.... Dragoon? yeah I think so.
 
didn't know if anybody watched the live letter but beta p4 will be 17th-19th and early access will begin on 24th.
 
wow... no, I didn't have a chance to watch it but that is so disapointing... oh well lets wait another week...
 
I'll be on vacation for the open beta weekend but i'm going to see if my laptop with run it long good enough to get my character name. Thankfully I'll be back the 21st so I won't miss anytime for the early access.
