The samurais look pretty cool. The game has continued to grow since launch and it feels odd that it has the XIV monicker... perhaps a simple "Final Fantasy Online" would work better now?

Final Fantasy XIV is now free to play up to character level 35 :o . This seems like a *really* good deal. Click to find out more.

I pay to play the game and I'm still only up to level 11 or something :fp: :lol: .

... :fp: .

There's a lot of gameplay up to level 35, especially if that includes starting new classes with the same character. If you've ever been tempted to play, join the fun now!

I'm amazed at how little interest GR has in this :o . Being able to play for free up to level 35 is terrific; you can enjoy an absolute ton of gameplay in that period. If you haven't tried an MMO before, this could be a good way to give it a go.

Funnily enough, I was playing it this morning as it's the last day of the free log in campaign. Jumping straight into a team dungeon left me confused as I was playing as the gladiator class that I'm training up for some reason. I've forgotten a lot about the game and I'd like to get back into it but it's unlikely to happen with so many great titles coming out soon and begging to be played instead of lingering in my backlog.

Maybe one day I'll return for a longer stay*...

*Today notwithstanding as it'd be a shame to let the rest of the free log in day go to waste :shifty:

I believe the game is now free-to-play up to level 35, Drag - I don't think there is any time limitation or restriction. Hopefully this means that you can continue to play :toot: .

Sadly that only applies to new accounts so I'd need to resubscribe to continue.

And now's probably the best time to get into it since the expansion it dropping in just over a month so there's going to be a whole cycle where everything is new and everything will be much more active.

strawberry float double posting, new Live Letter dropped the job action trailer.

Pretty much everything is getting a rework from the ground up, Bard is a completely different class for example and closer in design to 2.0 but the songs appear to be more involved.

As a White Mage, however, the addition of the job guage system is great news: if I understood it correctly the flowers indicate a speed boost and I can cash them in for a powerful spell. So basically a mix of Greased Lightning and Aetherflow stacks. Then we get shields and Stone IV and a spell to pull people out of stupid and damage scaled off Mind. Good day to be a healer, even more-so a WHM that gets stuck mainhealing and can't stay in Cleric all day even if I wanted to.

I'll be a while until the full live letter's up, and it's about 4 hours long, but I suggest looking for some notes if you missed it, they go into a lot of detail, like the complete removal of parry and accuracy as stats and such.

Edit: update for the 31st May- everything for WHM is gooseberry fool and I was too optimistic. It's not that at all. Woops. My B.

So Stormblood's out, and I have resubscribed.

Still haven't even unlocked Heavensward yet, but I'm closing in on that now (I'm on the 2.4 content). Weird to log in and have so many of my DRG abilities gone, but nice to have the hotbar decluttered a little to make way for the new gooseberry fool.

Every time I get back to this I'm blown away by the scope of it all.

Whoop! :toot: .

I enjoyed the short time that I have put into FF XIV but I just seem to know so little about how to play. I think I just need to put more effort in and stick with it.

I did spot that GRcade's Seven attained level 50 in the new Samurai skill on Friday, the first day of the early access play :shock: .

It starts at level 50.

Also, this comes out this week, and should be fascinating.

I may have got the phrasing wrong; I meant that, whatever the new Samurai skills are, Seven has maxed them already :) .

That does look like it will be a good watch.

This is free until level 35 for good now? There's no end date for that offer?

I had a character ages ago under the 14 day trial but it lapsed and I had ESO and Destiny on the go. Still got ESO as it's bigger than the sun, but might play this until the level cap for a bit.

Yeah, but you'll need to create a new account, which means starting again. Should be able to squeeze 20-30 hours out of the free period, easy.

I'm up to the 2.5 stuff now, but I have to do 3 Hard trials in a row before it lets me get started. :dread:

Idiots are on the loose again - they've been undertaking a DDOS attack on the FF XIV servers since the Stormblood expansion launched.

I guess these people must be intelligent technically... why waste their skills on these types of activities? :fp: .

Finally got to the Heavensward content this evening. strawberry float me, that was an ordeal. I get that at the time these updates were coming out it was nice to have so much new content all the time, but having to play it all back-to-back is nuts. There are more story quests between the end of ARR and the start of HW than there are in HW total. Madness.
