          Besides the ongoing problems with the instances, How do you guys feel about the game?

          All you people that rolled on Sargatanas need to let me know when you're on and I'll invite you to the OS linkshell.. So far it's just me and bcruise. Either quote one of my posts here so that Tapatalk lets me know, send me a message, or /tell me in game on Jehryn Ambrose or bcruise on Notoni Etoni when you are online playing and we'll get you an invite. Will give you permissions to be able to invite people too to make it easier when someone else wants to join. Just has to be when you're online because it won't let me send invites to offlines.

            I actually haven't had any problems with instances at all. I waited for over a minute for a couple of them to finish loading, but I never had one just fail to load at all. Maybe I was just lucky. I'm okay with stuff like this happening during early access though - When the game goes live to everyone Sqenix really needs it to work.

            I feel like I'm going to be playing it for a very long time. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's just so much more enjoyable than my failed attempts at getting into WoW over the years. It's hard to explain why I like it so much. Obviously the gamepad support is a huge plus (and still being able to use keyboard hotkeys for various things). But this is the first MMO where I've really been able to experience the social aspect. The Duty Finder is a big part of that, as it makes it very easy to participate in a raid (well, at least when you're a healer - no queue waiting ). But even beyond that, it just feels like there's a real sense of community in the game, at least for now. I got invited to a linkshell solely because the owner of it liked my character name - and was also inviting a bunch of other characters he saw that followed the naming conventions of the races. It's shaping up to be a nice little group.

            It's just a fun game to play right now. I'm not really thrilled that they dialed back the difficulty on the solo instances (they were pretty challenging in Beta 3), but then again I'm only Lv21 with my highest class so maybe it gets tougher.

            I see that the servers came back online while I was typing this out - time to do some materia melding!

              Love it. The "full release" has lived up to everything I had hoped it would after doing the crappy 1.0 release and all these beta phases. If the end-game stuff is pulled off well, I'll be sticking with the game for a long time.

              I'll still play EverQuest 1, because in reality I do want an MMO that totally has an old-school, grind it out type mentality as well... but between EQ1 and FFXIV I'm set.

                haven't been able to log in since Saturday... this is a no buy for me.

                shame on me for thinking SE would actually make good on things the second time around.

                  It's the hardware at the NA/EU datacenter they rent from or whatever in Montreal. I've been playing on Valefor for over 24h hours now with no interruptions and no issues whatsoever. It's not an issue with the game at all.

                    I don't care to know how the sausage is made, I just want the sausage.

                    my friends rolled on Adamantoise so I rolled there, I could log in on Saturday could not log in on Sunday and now I am supposed to tell them to reroll and play the first 20 levels over again?

                    no thanks.

                      Usual MMO launch, it'll die down as the population spreads out their playtime and they get more hardware in place. This is of course exacerbated by SE's general incompetence (I see the account system is a touch better than FF11, but not much) so we'll see how long it takes for things to shake out.

                      Typical MMO launch so far though.

                        Have you tried logging in today bghost? I got in Sargatanas first try early this morning, and again just now with a very short queue. Also did the Totorak dungeon and another instance, so those seem to be more stable as well.

                        They said all along that they were limiting download queues to stabilize the servers, and they do seem to be getting better now.

                          Sounds like they also forgot to add in the idle log out, so people were just keeping the game open.

                          Really want to hear some impressions of the game. I've been dying for a new MMO, and I've never tried a FF MMO before.

                            The game itself is fantastic. MMOs have quite a bit much to write about in reviews, so if you have any questions or want me to make like my own little mini-review just let me know what types of things you are asking for

                            I just got done running the 4th dungeon, so I have some time to spare I don't think they're adding an idle log out, which is good. I hate it when games have that.

                                Well I have a few questions:

                                How is the battle system. When Ive talked to people about previous FFMMOs they always said the battles were too clunky. Curious as to how this is ran.

                                What are the classes?

                                How is the community so far?

                                PvP? Tried it? Is it quality?

                                And do you see longevity with the story?
