Friday Fantasy Beta! - Logs from Eorzea Entry XIV aka The Last Stand [Wicked]
Goodness do I wish I had some goggles like Ed does in Cowboy bebop. It would cause so much less stress on my eyes I think. @_@ 284 screenshots later. We have revamped UI's, revamped battle systems, crystal clear skies, everything is gorgeous! More so than in Alpha. Also we have for you a breakdown of everything new or redone in Beta. I will be handling the Battle/Leve aspect, while Sugar is handling everything craft related. Sit tight folks, we have a bit of a long one...

As Wicked stated in her last post this will be the last set of NDA breaking information. So, for my last post I will be explaining my findings on the harvesting, mining, and logging, systems and a little bit of our experience of how the beta actually went this week. I'm just warning you. This is a lot to put into words so it will be a long post. You might want a snack or something...it's ok I'll wait.

Quick
and short, tomorrow's post is going to be fairly huge and time
consuming. Expect it by Saturday afternoon Tueday night as I fail at getting certain screenshots, and I NEED them to be proper, also I've been working on it
most of the evening and still nowhere near done, it's almost 3am btw
:p. I will restate this though, Post XIII and XIV are the last NDA
breakers. We decided to do up to 14 to give thanks to 14 for existing
and to allow SE to build up some more anxiousness in it's playerbase
rather than ruining everything prior to release. 67 days left till
Retail CE release and I'd like not to be a part of ruining someone's
dreams of FFXIV. These posts were to give the fans the information
they craved of Alpha and Beta and bits of Retail. I wouldn't my
dreams ruined, my excitement ruined so I won't do the same for a
fellow fan. After XII and XIV posts we will continue to post but only
with teasing information :) Call me a dirty tease, it's okay, I'm
used to it.
I don't really have too much to say this time around. The bulk of information was reported by Wicked, poor thing is having a rough time, she's a trooper. I'm also aware it's not Friday. I just wanted to make a update post before we really start down our road to release. This post, however, contains tidbit of Sugar I thought you guys might want a taste of before you get into our adventures of Beta.
It's been a pretty epic road so far and the Beta just hit. Although we had our first official taste of the Beta Saturday and the schedule was posted this week SE threw us a curve ball. This morning upon my daily log in to the official Test site I noticed an announcement that the Beta schedule for this week was getting an extension. Instead of just being 4 hours for 3 days a week rotating regions through the day we now have a sleep deprivation schedule! Listen to this; Tuesday July 13th from 3am to 1pm and then again from 3pm to Wednesday, July 14th at 1am. This is repeated for Thursday - Friday. This schedule has us playing with only a few hours downtime for an entire day. This isn't just a server stress test, this is a Tester stress test. This came as quite a surprise only one day into the Beta. Hopefully this means the Beta is moving faster than they thought and perhaps we'll be playing freely, off schedule, sooner than we thought.
The biggest WOW factor of this is that there will be no region restriction. We're all on the same servers. The best part of this is Wicked and I will be able to play together along with other Beta testers we've befriended along the way. How's that for Sweet?
A friend of a friend of a friend who knows something linked me this. Certain people of weight in their words and myself included, feel that these classes may be available on launch. :) Enjoy guys
Oh and
From .dat files, enjoy!
Notice-I did not obtain this myself, this was found through a friend of a friend of a friend who may know someone who knows something. :)

Sorry this blog is a day late but I had some real life trouble to attend to and then Wicked and I had a meeting to prepare for some blog ideas. You'll see when they're finished. I don't have a lot of information but it's heavy. We got a release date, preorder gifts, the FF13 code gift, and details on the special edition version of FF14!
