Right now the NDA is pretty much non existant. The only NDA currently in place is no video posting, everything else is free to discuss/post pics.
I remember hearing phase 4 the NDA would be gone completely.

this reminds me of "the realm". at one point you had player made lines/queues to the instance/dungeon's entrance (instance would reset after a while and then next person could go in). along with it you get the typical social dynamics when waiting in line.

Never thought i'd bonermode looking at a furry but the art and graphics really look incredible. If nothing else I think this game will atleast set itself apart as the first mmo with some real heft in the graphical dept*
*does not apply to wildstar graphics fans. I'd imagine those same people would prefer a frame from a tom and jerry cartoon over a monet or van gogh masterpiece.

Your last statement makes me laugh. Because guess what, I had fun in this game(will probably buy it) and I like the graphics, but I also think wildstar looks good and fun(obviously need to still play it to make a real decision). Crazy I know! You are not allowed to like 2 different things, blasphemy! Good to see such idiots out there, never let me down
(btw that analogy, oh god and not in a good way).Used to be month long lines waiting for the cleric epic on my EQ server..
But yeah , this is the 21st century.. video game programs can allow many more people than one to quest at the same time!

What's funny about FFXIV graphics is apparently their lightning engine shit isn't turned on cause they had issues with it, and what's even funnier is it looks worse than 1.0 on a lot of things because of the changes they had to do for the PS3. On the other hand, it still looks amazing AND runs a fuckton better even on not so good PCs. Oh and animations look cool too, at least stuff I've played this phase, Archer was stupid in P2 cause you were sliding around but I believe they fixed that. That said other than the FF style, it's pretty much on par for an asian mmo, nothing really that special when you compare to korean stuff.

Hmm the sliding thing is still there, if you shoot while running, your character tries to face the mob and will "slide" towards it. You can stop it though by hitting the forward direction again to keep running. I was using mouse(hold right click and left click to move) to make it almost seamless(was still a tiny jerk when it tried to auto face). It only really happens there though so maybe it was worse in p2.
So after reading the scope thread on the forums I am a little less worried about quest content/gaps. From the post:
Main Story: Level 20 and below
Sub-Quests: Level 20 and below
* The quest "A Relic Reborn" will be available starting in phase 4. Players who accepted this quest in Version 1.0 will be able to resume their progress after reaccepting it in FFXIV: ARR.
Class Quests: Level 30 and below
* Quests for Disciples of War and Magic are available up to level 15.
* Quests for Disciples of the Hand and Land are available up to level 30.
and
* Numerous additional quests and content will be added following phase 3.
Also something I didn't even notice at all was your class choice in character creation depicted your starting city. I just thought there was a ton of conj, archers and lancers , but now it seems those are just the 3 that start in Granadia ;P

Yeah, there is going to be quests all the way to 50, and main story arc that runs the whole way through and whatnot. There's not gonna be gaps with no quests at release.

I can't for the life of me get my PC beta client to work. The alpha worked fine but I keep getting an error since beta 1.
Oh well. I'm waiting for a PS3 beta invite to try it on that. No retailer is carrying the PC Collector's Edition so I'm getting it for Ps3

I was playing beta on both my PC and PS3 and while I did a bit of grinding/questing on the PS3, it just looks and runs so much better on my PC. It's almost painful to look at on the PS3(and I have a pretty nice 55" inch tv). I was using a 360 pad on the PC with some mouse/keyboard stuff mixed in and I think that's my preferred method. I do kind of wish my PC was in my living room if just for the 'lay on the couch like a slob' bonus.

Arcanist and jobs won't be until open beta/P4. Well jobs should be available to 1.0 players once they activate that(which should be next weekend) so we should get info on them at least. Arcanist nope.
For release I believe. They have listed about 5-7 other jobs they want to put into the game in the future.
