FFXIV 2.0 Random Speculation/Question Thread XII: End Of An Era - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!

**The Stig** · 2013-05-05 17:33

I'm making a little blog post/video here, can someone describe to be how you would describe a high end FFXIV player before 1.0 got wiped out of existence?

i.e. in FFXI: level 99 all jobs, 13 relics, 10 mythics

Basically I'm trying to get a statement from someone who would've maxed out in 1.0, and "quit until the game got better" but is unaware of ARR (2.0)'s existence.

(not trying for a reaction off him, just something along the lines of "well ffxi made all my relics gimp... might as well go back to ffxiv with all my relics,gil,etc i've already collected") [but is not aware of ARR]

High end in XIV I guess would be someone with all relics, darklight set, triple meld armor, and craft maxed player. Player like this gonna be very well of in ARR I guess.

**The Stig** · 2013-05-05 17:47

That'll do thank you very much!

I like those keywords, whatever darklight/triple meld is lol.

I doubt the bolded part is possible. By the time relics were added (last months of 1.0), if you quit this game expecting it to get better, you quit this game to wait for ARR.

also relics supposed will allow you to challenge the labyrinth of bahamut and get the new strongest weapons so you're ahead of the pack once ARR launches

**Churchill** · 2013-05-05 18:49

They also said Relics would be ahead of Labyrinth weapons, so I'm guessing some poor translation work (maybe the 14 team is using google translate like the XI team too).

Relics are "required" to challenge the Crystal Tower not the Labyrinth so it's unlikely that even veterans can jump right there. They'll probably make you clear a Primal or a new raid to get better gear too before you can even attempt the tower.

Don't worry guys it's not too serious. I was making a hitler reaction video and wanted to give FFXIV a shoutout

Can someone help me understand the difference between Linkshells(?) and Free Companies?

Will people group into Free Companies inside of a linkshell? Do we know the maximum number of people that can fit into a FC? Minimum was 4? For now only FCs will have housing? (Perhaps individual housing later if the server can handle it.) And I'm completely clueless about Grand Companies.. Like nation allegiance in FFXI?

**Churchill** · 2013-05-10 17:35

FC is a guild, linkshells are derps of friends.

Can only have one FC. Solves a huge problem of 1.0. GC is nation based but you choose rather than be assigned.

**miokomioko** · 2013-05-10 18:13

To put it into FFXI terminology...

Grand Company = Nation allegiance/ranking
Free Company = Linkshell/guild (with more structure)
Linkshell = Chat channel

**Churchill** · 2013-05-10 18:58

echo

**Rocl** · 2013-05-12 08:37

You're in the echo right now.

**Elayne** · 2013-05-22 22:02

I think I read this somewhere, but can't find it again to double check; 20 character maximum (first+last), yes? Narrowing down names and just realized some were getting kind of long..

Also /t could also be set to shortened nicknames?

After all the class/job speculation in the info thread, and not having played this game since early 1.0 (quit way before jobs were even introduced), I was curious about the levels in this game. When you level a class up does the job attached to it gain those levels as well or leveling the job levels the class? If that is the case, how exactly would 2 jobs (if they even introduce new jobs this way, since this is mostly just speculation) work being attached to one class? Would they both just gain levels based off that one class because that seems kinda silly.

**Gokulo** · 2013-05-23 15:25

Job has the same level as your class. It's basically just an attachment or w/e to your class. Not separate levels.

That's what I thought I read a while ago, I just wasn't sure since people keep talking about DRK potentially being added onto Gladiator and that just seems kinda odd with this level system. >.>

It might appear so to people that read about this just now, but it's just the same with how it was when first jobs where added. People already started with them at 50, just needed to do quests for skills and af.

I guess it may seem odd if you haven't experienced it yourself. Think of jobs as a piece of equipment that grants you access to more abilities and gear options. On the other hand it also restricts the amount and selection of abilities you can use from other classes.

That makes sense, I was just wondering how it would work if they added a second job to a class (due to that whole DRK speculation stuff). Unless they continue doing 1 class = 1 job.
