whats going on?! stuff ? me too!.

[Izzy]

I feel like I need in on this "stuff", whatever it is.

[supercoco]

Aftere watching the Ifrit battle, i've got a few questions...
Is paladin the only viable tank ? Because the marauder was getting focused all the time and the tank couldnt get hate

[Evane]

The MRD/WAR can tank fine. It's just that the PLD was sucky or didn't get enough time to establish hate. In 1.0 WARs tanked Ifrit and all the other battles perfectly.

Also that retro battle theme sounds like it's been arranged by Will.I.Am for The Great Gatsby soundtrack.

[Madeline]

was stuff delivered yet

i have no stuff

stuff has not been obtained

stuff.. stuff.

if you say it a lot it kinda sounds funny

[Sephiroth]

[Oreth]

yup a day or so late...! the "stuff" actually overloaded, so stuff is being stuffed elsewhere so people can get stuff I hear
anyway, enough about stuff, its sidetracking the forums... a lot...!
Its easy enough to find stuff looking around...!

Also, I would be careful of sneaky phishing e-mails made to look like official SE e-mails with links, apparently its out in full force to look like the current official phase 3 download links. (I got a few in japanese and english haha)

God that shit starting already and the game hasnt even launched thats madness... Has any NA got their PS3 codes yet or just JP still?

[supercoco]

media ppl only - they got their ps3 codes yesterday. I guess we'll get them today or tomorrow :S

[Oreth]

its cutting it a bit fine if they expect people to download and play on the 14th?

[xopher]

If you guys want a meteor survivor polo, somebody's selling a medium sized one on eBay..


For $90.

[Seiji Okita]

$90? -,- i do want one but sheesh...

edit: Well it looks like the polo is sold... but those ARR/Lightning Returns bags are selling for $30 a piece. This is why we can't have nice things =/

Maybe the first part of phase 3 is for current testers and invited media?

That is the feeling i am starting to get, It just seems at this point they will open P3 to 1.0 accounts during Test2 or Test3... Though i am still holding onto hope lol.

People still have to receive PS3 invites. I believe it was said that PS3 will run in part one of phase 3.

things I found interesting:

Talking about the community, they were talking about Scholar, what’s the story behind that one?
Y: Bit embarrassing, but we were planning to release the package illustration along with the release date announcement but the illustration got leaked a lot earlier than planned...... And the talk went on about the unannounced character that was in the illustration. Specially NA side were talking “Hey that’s Scholar right?” so we just said “It’s alright, no point in hiding” so during the 5/30’s producer letter live we announced that it was indeed Scholar and it will be released at launch. But, we’ll announce what type of Job Scholar is and the details of Scholars attack along with a video during E3.

Are there any other new jobs aside from Scholar?
Y: Just think of the jobs in the package illustration are all the jobs at launch timing.

So, for example if you switch the PS3’s HDD to SSD would the PS3 version’s speed increase?
Y: It will (laugh) But, that’s not supported by SCE, and we can’t use that as optimal, but if you’re going to be peculiar with the speed, then it will be your own responsibility but if you change it will be much faster.

I see. Since you all are confident with the story, you wanted players to try it out?
Y: Yes. If there isn’t enough story, testing won’t continue. Specially this time we have the PS3 players, so i believe if they say something like “tried it out but didn’t get it” it’s not good. I think PS3 customers will think of this as a demo version rather than a test to play. If there wasn’t the previous XIV I would’ve probably masked it, but I don’t want to make it where people say “I tried it but was only battle” or “I didn’t understand” so we made it where you can play all.

[Cutriss]

So basically, PS3 waits until Phase 3 because PS3 players are shitty beta testers?

I'm cool with that.

[Charismatic]

Scholar officially announced early because we kept talking about the artwork and wouldn't let it go?
Go us?

[Sigmakan]

Test 1 dedicated to PS3 test. No (very few) PS3 test codes released. Makes sense.
