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

[Jamison]

Now i have a question that sorta bugs me. Concerning ps3 version, was it confirmed that you need to use a psn acct with the same email as your account to access the game?

I don't think something like that was ever said.

I thought I saw the same thing, but now that I go back and look for a source I can't find anything -- only that you can only register one copy of the game to a Sony account, and then that one Sony account to your SE account.

Can anyone hook a brotha up and upload the FFXIV ARR beta downloader to BG box?

I don't think it would be of any use atm?

I know this will be a long shot but I'm going to ask anyway. But has anyone from Sweden preordered the CE from webhallen.se, if so did you get a preorder code? It's a site listed on the official list to preorder from but I haven't gotten anything from them. I am waiting to see if I get one closer to release but I want to make sure so I don't miss out on the ingame items (not too bothered with early access).

[Weltall]

No early access for you. Unless you pre-order something, doesn't matter what, same for cait sith & mog cap.

Now this has confused me even though I just posted in the other thread I will here too as well.

I had Ver 1.0, but I can't remember if it was Collectors or not. I had the Onion Helm if that makes a difference?

I want to make sure I get Phase 4 + Early Access before August 27.

Do I need to buy the game? If not, do I need to buy something else? If so, can you please provide a link so I can go ahead and buy it?

Thank you so much...

You will get into phase 4 no matter what, since it's open beta.

Early access is for preorders and Legacy. If your 1.0 account is not, Legacy, you'll need to preorder something.

Pre ordering any of the options is the only way to get early access unless your legacy, here is a link to the standard PC edition.

Preordering it will get you early access and the in game pre order bonuses. If you want the CE physical items you can always pre order the CE instead.

No, he can't. You can't upgrade a 1.0 PC service account to an ARR CE service account by purchasing another PC CE.

Seeing as Weltall has the Onion Helm code registered, that makes him CE, so he just needs to pre-order the PC or PS3 standard edition.

Yep, you're right I was thinking of the physical swag and not in game bonuses for some reason. Corrected previous post.

[Shiyo]

Almost all attack skills have a 3-5 second global cooldown?

[solracht]

10 second global cooldown

[Gokulo]

All skills have a 5 second global cooldown?

Nope. Weaponskills have a gdc, which is I think 2.5 or lower. Abilities have their own, separate cooldowns.

What is the purpose of a 2.5 sec GCD? Also, is the combat more teamwork/strategy based like FFXI?

1) To make sure you're not hitting skills so fast that you make the animations look wacky.
2) Because one of the new stats lowers that cooldown, and it gives people another option to gear for.

I don't think anyone can really speak on the teamwork/strategy since all the P1+2 beta dungeons were easy, and nothing outside of dungeons required teamwork.

10 second global cooldown

+1

Thanks to you gals/guys for the info ^_^/

any ideas when the beta is going live on the 14th? pretty safe bet no one knows, but if you had to guess based on the previous beta phases what general time of the day(est) do you think its going to start?

They posted the schedule on the forums already.

[Raldo]

Since the NDA only restricts video and sound, I don't see any problem posting it here.

I checked this morning, and I recall seeing 2AM... PST, I think? 2AM Friday through 2AM Sunday.
