Someone mentioned that possibly some skills you learn from other classes are usable on others once you get them. Total speculation at this point though.

2F just scared my dog.

[Minako]

That's what 90% of what we have now is. Speculation. Nothing more, nothing less.

I thought it was confirmed there are 5 slots for abilities to use from other skills/classes?

No idea where i read that though. I thought it was in a breakdown of the UI?

2F just scared my dog.

Haha. I'm at the prelude, I've heard it from earlier but it's good enough that the other 60 tracks i havent heard can wait.

[Akiyama]

Track 11 sounds like The Black Mages.

[Omniyoji]

Can something interesting happen? I have an hour and a half before im off of work!

Nice bike in your sig. Yours? or own something as such?

On topic, you early testers are really lucky now that I'm listening to the music. /jealous!

Does anyone have any ideas as to how NMs will be introduced into this game? Im sure there has been speculation. Think there will be NMs in the beta? >.>

Haven't even thought about NMs at all but perhaps something mixed? Old school not on screen random encounter w/ screen wipe > instanced area? In a party/alliance? No problem everyone gets warped to battlefield.

Actually on second thought, I don't want to run around in circles for x hours...

I was all Obama on a chocobo and my dog was like woah.

[Rustyhagun]

3C sounds like an Ul'dah themed area.

[Azurewrath]

2B hurts my ears. Why would they do that to me?

[naninani]

I think "Badolier" is supposed to be Bandolier.. as in a pocketed belt that holds ammo.

Sorry to drudge up a half hour old topic, but doesn't it seem like there would be a correlation between the 12 signs, the 6 elements, and that astral/umbral stuff? Or was this not worth speculating over? It seems to me like they'd have 2 guardians/signs per element with one leaning towards the umbral side and one leaning towards the astral side, giving us a total of 12 signs/guardians. They were saying something about players having some kind of elemental affinity, maybe that's what the meant.

I'm going to speculate that each guardian is assigned to an element, yeah.

And this shit's active, brah

[Biggie]

Can you play all known races and classes in the alpha?

I'm sure if they make a PvP system they'll be smart enough to incorporate it like in Tactics or maybe the mobs also have birthdays and I'll stop typing now

Pretty much now your guess is as good as mine.

No, its stated in eBook/manual

#8 is a nice one
