[Spellbreaker]

Not sure if I'm the only one, but apparently Midgarsormr just crapped out and now I can't connect to the server....@_@ and I was having so much fun.

Yep, same here for Midgarsormr. Got booted exiting Sashtasha

It really is. I don't expect the number they have currently to work. Tech has its limits even today. But ffs square you are basically begging western players to log into JP servers in mass and trigger these issues there too.

Yeah, its really odd coming from a VET mmo company like SE. . . ohh well. I hope they add about 10 more servers and give us free transfers.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Hmm...I'm not sure about that message.

[Iuviel]

Well, if it's still this bad for logging in today, I don't even want to imagine tomorrow.

It's the combined load of EU/US. I can play just fine most of the day, but nearing US evening, the errors start coming. Well, i was for a EU center from the start...but SE just had to save money on the back end :/

Tomorrow is going to be a fresh new hell. The servers are literally going to explode and they're going to have to explain 25 replacement servers to a company that won't even greenlight 5 more to help with congestion.

It is actually. They expect LESS servers than they gave japan to handle two regions with more than TEN TIMES their population. They're going to lose a fortune by trying to 'save money'.

Well, if they keep up with not improving on the serverside to accommodate more players, the problem will solve itself...

Truer words man, truer words.

Can anybody tell me how the quests/missions are like in this game? Are they mostly kill/collect x amount of y?

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times before.

Hey guys, sorry if it has already been asked, but does anyone know from what time you can start playing the 27th? It would be cool if the game would be accessible at 00.00 EU times. My mates bought the game in the store - so no early access

Also, will they release new servers? All EU are full atm :/

They've essentially said they will not be opening new servers. At least that's what I take from the quote I posted above. Your options are JP server or deal with not being able to play whenever you want.

What is the second class you need to get Black Mage? Sites are all saying different between pugilist, archer and arcanist.

It's a lot of fun! You can control your fairy's hotbar, and she has a heal, so you can heal two people at the same time with a little micro managing.

Here's three better screenshots of the first summoner pet Ifrit-Egi and a close up of the faeries, Eos and Selene:

Well those look sweet! Glad I decided to go Scholar

Is there an updated list posted somewhere detailing which advanced jobs require which basic jobs?

Yes, they are like the standard quests:

1) Be an errand boy/girl
2) Kill this stuff
3) Collect this stuff


With Final Fantasy games, they are REALLY good story wise. Everything seems to play a bigger role in the story so its nice. With Fates always around, questing is easily broken up and the story quests make it a real nice change of pace. Especially when they take you to kill Primals.

Overall, leveling in this game feels much different than others. Its grindy but not at the same time. I hate leveling, but I'm not even noticing it in this game.

Thanks for the reply! It says in 16 hours. That can't be right... Right?

Its archer. I posted the list awhile ago.

Bard = 30 Archer / 15 Pugilist
Summoner = 30 Arcanist / 15 Thaumaturge
Scholar = 30 Arcanist / 15 Conjurer
Dragoon = 30 Lancer / 15 Marauder
Black Mage = 30 Thaumaturge / 15 Archer
White Mage = 30 Conjurer / 15 Arcanist
Monk = 30 Pugilist / 15 Lancer
Warrior = 30 Marauder / 15 Gladiator
