Anyhow, I am trying to figure out what those currencies represent. 9980 Yen is like $100 and 3680 Yen is like $37. We dont have anything in US FFXIV related for those prices. Is that pre-taxes? Do they even have the same taxing system we have? Idk shit bout Japan, sorry lol.

(I hope that is Japan and not Korea or something.)

Basically, they just list their price in their base denomination instead of creating higher tiers. It's like if we listed prices in cents instead of converting it up to dollars. Imagine your sub fee being 1499 cents instead of 14.99. It's really just a matter of decimal placement.

Traveling to Turkey before they changed their currency was the best. You'd become a millionaire overnight, eventually they just knocked 4 or 5 0s off everything, lol. Most countries apply tax to listed prices, America is pretty backwards since it seems you guys don't in a lot of places? Here if something is £29.99 that's exactly what you pay and it's like that everywhere I've ever traveled (mostly EU but a couple places outside it).

Getting closer

**Ratatapa** · 2013-08-14 06:12

2 things i've seen

Players will receive experience points when entering a new area for the first time.
*Experience received is dependent upon your current class. (oh hi ACN)

Additional sidequest up to level 20 have been added.
*The sidequest "A Relic Reborn" will be available after the start of official service.

Additional class quests have been added.
*Job quests will be available after the start of official service.

The level cap has been set to 20.
*All restrictions will be removed starting from early access.

So no job quest in Head start either?

/sea is back!

**Kiarax** · 2013-08-14 06:23

Godly changes.

Need I say more?

**Black** · 2013-08-14 06:40

What confused me is...

*The sidequest "A Relic Reborn" will be available after the start of official service.

* The quest "A Relic Reborn" will be available starting in phase 4. Players who accepted this quest in Version 1.0 will be able to resume their progress after reaccepting it in FFXIV: ARR.

Hm so cant accept new one but only if you have progress can complete it?

**popsiclestix** · 2013-08-14 06:44

Is there an inventory sort in there? I don't see it mentioned

**Sephiroth** · 2013-08-14 06:48

So you can't equip GC gear in phase 4. I wonder if this means you can't join a GC which would mean no Ifrit. Or was Ifrit before you join the GC? Not that it matters, I just wanted to see if the lag issues have improved.

**Null** · 2013-08-14 06:49

They mention the Ifrit fight in there. Will be available. The fight is before GC.

**MrSamuels** · 2013-08-14 06:51

So i got a PS3 EU code sent to me for some reason, fairly sure I never signed up to play on PS3. Does this mean we will be getting another PC code to put it or is that just login and play?

Also if anyone wants the code just PM, first come first serve.

*During phase 4, players can access the Wolve's Den through the Duty Finder after completing the main scenario quest "Lord of the Inferno."

Totally missed that line.

**SephYuyX** · 2013-08-14 07:16

Sounds like a lot of things wont get released until the official launch. I may just wait until then to start playing since I have a head start from 1.0 anyway.

**Carth** · 2013-08-14 07:20

Could always level Arcanist and throw yourself to the wolves.

**Ratatapa** · 2013-08-14 07:29

yeah no SCH or SMN till August 27 more QQ about WHM single heal during head start

Well this was a welcome change.

Is it saying that if I kill a mob on Archer and I have Lancer unlocked, that Lancer will get a (probably very small) fraction of exp? If that's the case, might as well unlock all your classes as soon as you can.
