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.

Hey, guys. Sugar here with an interesting tidbit of information straight from Alpha/Beta Limbo!
Without much warning and no information on the upcoming beta for FFXIV, SE has updated the online manual available to the testers. No doubt in preparation for the Beta they added three new subheadings entitled “Market Wards”, "Logging and Harvesting", and “Retainers”. There have also been a few changes announced from Alpha to Beta that I'd like to touch on. These additions are no doubt in direct correlation to the Beta giving us a 'preview' of what to expect. However, since the Beta has yet to go live I'll do my best to explain what these are and how they work based on the description given in the manual. Please keep in mind this is most likely subject to change until we are able to test these live. I recommend you take it with a grain of sugar. ;)

Friday Fantasy Alpha! – Logs from Eorzea Entry VI
Another day, another test, this week they posted the dates for the entire week in advance. Telling us one thing, we are in phase 2 and Beta is closer than we thought. With the new addition of servers, which we have 10 of now. The stability has improved greatly, very very smooth, almost a constant 30fps. Today's post, Alpha, Alpha 2, and your thoughts hopefully.

Friday Fantasy Alpha! - Logs from Eorzea Entry V
Another test day, this time though...filled with many bad decisions. Today the new world launched, named Garland. Many were excited, many didn't care, and some were really confused. I was part of the latter group apperantly as I took it as Yay! New place to explore! Must go do more testing! More stuff to write about! ( - _ -) yea...that wasn't correct -.- I've played enough MMO's and know enough about their terminology that I shouldn't have let myself get so excited and stupid over a little announcement. In the end, I regretted it, I lost the work I put into the character and the friends I made. I made a new Lalafell and got her back up to a decent level. Tomorrow, I plan to grind back my levels properly so I can pick up where I left off. So for todays topic, rumors, suspicions, and idea's. So far concerning the leveling system, the party system, and the UI there are many changes to come. They won't say what will be changed, but they do say it will not be seen until Beta.

Friday Fantasy Alpha 14! - Logs from Eorzea Entry IV
It's that time again, and once more we had two tests this week, but we will be focusing on today's run through. More partying, more exploring for this test. A friend and I decided to get a little crazy, get some XP and explore further than we should. Also, tons of screen-shots this time. Enjoy!

Another week, another test, and as I predicted, two tests this week. Unfortunately I missed the first one this week due to trying to get a job, failed so far if you're interested. Today was the Test Seven, Extended! Which they specifically wanted us to test out the workings of mining and quarrying, which funny thing, last week I stated I'd be doing that this week. Heehee, Great minds thing alike <3 SE. Also, a small section on the Status & Gear Windows.

Friday Fantasy Alpha! - Logs from Eorzea Entry II
The day for me started around 1am when I realized oh no, I missed a test day. DAMNIT, I said. Then realized HEY! IT'S THURSDAY! I didn't miss the extended test! YAY!!! I finally log in, character selection is kind of laggy but not as bad as usual. Come into the world of Eorzea, and omg! There is no lag. They fixed something in 1 day time, completely blown away I speak to the first person I see, which by chance stopped right next to me when I spawned. I said Hey! And she responded Hi ^^!
We ended up grouping together along with a RoeGalkan(lol) for most of the day. Got lots of levequests done as well as learned much more about job changing, levequests/partying. Which, coincidentally, are the topics of todays logs.
