Randomly for those asking... and or wondering...!


Sonomaa has clarified that "gif's are allowed" if SE says they arn't, they will let us know (and any issues will be fixed then).

As for youtube, no. Thats a video streaming site, a video is a video, even if its a still image.

[jwang]

Thanks for the translation work Stanislaw. Hopefully it would be a bit more informative than yesterday's live letter.

[Sephiroth]

Those videos in SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn (Beta Version)\game\movie\ffxiv
How can I view them with sound?

[Takiwaki]

Limit breaks were mined, very interesting.

new vid jp only atm, has alot of PUG skills shown near the end, would love some translations!

Going off the JP version video here. I will only give the literal translations for the new skill names because FF14 has a track record of the JP to EN translation not translating over so well because they try to come up with fancy names when converted into English.

What is this "Test 1" "Test 2" people are talking about for Phase 3? I don't have access to the beta forums at work, and I assume the info I'm missing is there.

[Gokulo]

What is this "Test 1" "Test 2" people are talking about for Phase 3? I don't have access to the beta forums at work, and I assume the info I'm missing is there.

We still have weekend tests only, so first weekend is Test 1 and so on.

[avelle]

We still have weekend tests only, so first weekend is Test 1 and so on.

Ugh, I'll only be able to play this weekend. So it has been confirmed we won't get access to our characters from 1.0 this weekend? We have to wait for "Test 2"?

[Raldo]

Can anyone definitively say that we do or do not get to use our 1.0 characters at the start of Phase 3? I had every reason to believe that we do, but the people I'm conversing with seem to think we don't... I mean, it's spelled out in the roadmap that we get to use our 1.0 characters at Phase 3, does it not?

[solracht]

No 1.0 chars this weekend
