"Doing tasks for specific guilds changes your relationship to them"?

Sounds like it's about faction points.

Yeah sounds like the faction leves the devs were talking about earlier.

[sruon]

It's the ITW I translated somewhere, exact same. Think it's in the PS3 or Tanaka thread.

I want to see some Hyur female character creation! We all already know how awesome the miqo'te look.

Is there a way to remove the face markings on miqo'te?

Alright, that is worth my buddy pass. Good job. Love it.

@Kuro: Thanks for the videos. Game looks so dark, not sure if it's your end or mine. I hope there's some gamma adjustments.

Yeah because they're so fast to do and everyone probably has already done them, it's a potential problem.

I don't see it being a huge issue in the higher levels though, everyone is a bit more scattered around, leves are longer and it should be easier to just team up with someone else doing the leve.

I don't see why else they would limit the leves like this, but to make us party more.

lol thanks, but im good just did it for kicks got myself CE preordered

Parts of Treasures of the Main gave me some decent gil. I think going to the culinarians/musketeers gave 1000, and I think after escorting Sisipu and going back to town I got another 2000.

I just submitted a ton of feedback-- pretty much everything I could think of within reason. So if nothing else, at least one person has covered most of the concerns here.

Except the FPS cap. I said nothing about that

You can feedback it, but SE don't reply to questions, or post info players ask for more info on.

Its not a two way street for communication.

Only played an hour, was too busy watching the EVO tourny, but the game looks SO much sexier.. Still some hiccups here and there, I really hope they work hard on tightening everything up, Sept 30 is not far..

Youtube: Keyword "FFXIV Beta" Sorted By Date

Couple of videos at that link so far. Curious if Square will even attempt to reporting them and having them removed at this point. Publicity is always good at this point.

Didn't see this anywhere, was under the list of 'current issues' (mostly crashing and being unable to move.)
