i would like to tell you, but rather than give me any information at all, their website shows a slow to load, unskippable intro.
Wow, lol! You pay for your account AND for every single character, including the first one.
Like, shouldn't they already have realized that this is a terrible policy after FFXI?

I have been very tempted to come back and play, but ff14 is like a old ex girlfriend who broke my heart to me. It needs some more time before i give it a try even though i have been checking ffxivcore.com to check for updates etc. Last i have heard they are merging servers to make it seem like more people are playing and the true revambed version is 2.0 and wont be out till 2013. FF14 and competition still dont belong in the same sentence maybe next year

as someone who has an active account right now, I'd definitely recommend just waiting until 2.0. The only real reason people are playing now is to get an advantage (money, levels) for when 2.0 gets released. The game has definitely improved a ton but I really cant recommend it to anyone until we see how 2.0 turns out.

Well if you played before expect everything to be "different" the classes have been completely redone but in my opinion they didn't turn out any better than before especially the mage classes. This next patch will bring the most in terms of content with two dungeon and faux jobs (5 new abilities for each class and a rename). As of right now and even with the two raids inbound I don't feel like the game is worth paying and canceled my sub. As for 2.0 and server mergers I feel it's too little too late, by 2.0 it will be up to standard of like a 2009/2010 mmo as they're only redoing the already existing content but we'll have new and or innovative mmos like guild wars 2 out by then which don't even charge a service fee and will be much better (competitive). the server mergers are 2-3 months late and most of the population bailed because of it/charging fee. I feel like SE is very out of touch and they're creating and ffxi/wow hybrid which is inferior to both in every way and sticking to outdated policies. The only people I foresee playing 2.0 are hc fanboys and people who don't know any better.
edit: OH and don't even expect pvp till like a half a year after 2.0 or more.

Just found out i have a bit of leftover cash. And i just have a knack for FF games in general.
How can i actually get an account?
And are servers unified worldwide with the funny autotranslating text as in FFXI?

Probably have to get a physical copy still. And use it quickly before your key expires. Which rather irks me about Squeenix. They always project such a "you should be happy we let you play our game" mindset when it comes to the online components of this series. Probably due to pc gaming not being big over there as well but if they truly wanted a second chance this would have been a good moment to modernize a bit. Kind of curious myself, I love FF and it looks pretty nice, but such a hassle.
That said, anyone know if anything's really changed? MMO sites are pretty useless to figure such things out these days.

I used to play FFXI with keyboard only, you never had to touch the mouse, pretty cool aye for an MMORPG.
If FFXIV is the same then... DROOL.

I feel like, square will have to do a lot for the fans to get them to come back to these game, and lately square hasn't been very good the fans of Final Fantasy, with 13 and 13-2 being "okay" when we all expect greatness.

I keep thinking about playing FFXI again but then I remember that's stupid at this point, and then I think about FFXIV, its beta, and what a piece of shit it was (is?). I just heard about 2.0, is there any official word on the beta for it? I'd love to play and I want it to be good

Probably should just wait for FF15 at this point. It's going to be open world like Skyrim <3

I would not buy this game until 2.0
No one talks, no one does anything, there are a ton of bots everywhere, the leveling system is long and boring and the interface of the game is a fucking piece of trash.

Aww, man. I had quite high hopes for this one.
But somehow they always have difficulties with their MMORPGs.

For what it's worth, Amazon has a digital download available. It still uses autotranslate like XI did, I haven't used it much, but I'm sure it's a billion times more robust than XI's was. Like any mmo, if you don't find a decent group to do events and such with, you won't enjoy it. I haven't gotten very far yet myself, but I'm playing with people that I used to play XI with and for what it's worth they all seem to enjoy it.
If I hadn't bought it a few months ago, I'd probably wait for 2.0 at this point, however.
