[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

He asked were your chances better, not was it possible ^^

and you have a better chance at getting in earlier as legacy, but not no chance as non-legacy.

Except I was correcting the person I quoted because before Friday, most people assumed that non-legacy were p3 only due to bad wording on their website.

2 days until I get to play, wooo!

Nono, you're doing it wrong. Two days until you can't play.

I've always had horrible luck on getting beta invites. I just want to help make the game better! =(

(I was the person you were "correcting")

Anyhoo ... hopefully I get a beta invite soon in the future so i can have a chance to poke around and give some feedback, the more I think about the game the more I look forward to what it will hopefully be like this time.

Well in that case, I was making it clearer for other people reading the thread so they know everyone on PC can get a beta at any point. It's going to be heartbreaking watching someone else play the beta though.

Of course it is.

someone just broke the NDA!

[Deleted]

Still better in BETA than D3 was on live.

Edit: Guess this was technically nda breaking.

[-aiko-]

Careful gents! They said on their JP Twitter feed that they were going to crack down on breaking the NDA.

Is there an public NDA online I could read? Don't actually have beta...

[Remilia]

Please note, the NDA is in effect. Don't try to wiggle your way around it.

Added an NDA sticky and amended the title of the thread to make sure everyone is aware of what they can and can't discuss.

Yeah I watched the live letter in that blog, and even though I don't understand any Japanese, I found Yoshi P's voice to be so calming and it increased my man crush on him even more.

I totally love the guy!
The JP twitter, blog etc gets more information a lot of the time. You could probably understand enough through Google Translate if you want. I'm totally waiting for the day Google invents software that can "listen to" and translate audio. It will happen, mark my words.

google glass will only help make that a reality.

Except google translate sucks.

I didn't say it would be good, just that it would help make it a reality. Just like steam on linux won't make it a gaming OS, but it will help.

I didn't mind about not understanding tbh, I had a googledoc with someone translating as it went on, even though it was laggy, it was mainly for the gameplay and concept art (I do want that bear armor they showed, even if I hate pvp I will grind that shit as long as it doesn't have "slavage"esque droprate/mythic cost).
