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...

          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.
http://ffxiv.xion2u.net/ Enjoy :) Apologies ahead of time for forgetting certain shots. I was too excited.



          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. :)

Yokoku dekinai(Unpredictable) - Wicked's Game Arsenal



          On FFXIV Lounge there was a thread about listing all the games you have, I thought I'd repost it here. Stand back. Oh and the pic? if I could, I'd have the same.

W.T.F. Gēmā Repōto – E3, FFXIV Beta, and a new day!

           Yet another W.T.F. Gēmā Repōto to wrap up last week. Craziness happened, thanks to E3, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Square Enix. Oh! And lets not forget the lulz we got from Konami's Press Conference. So without further adue we bring you the highlights and lol's of E3 as well as last weeks posts.

The end of Alpha is here! Over! /END!, /QUIT /shutdown

When will beta start? I'm gonna say....within 2-3 weeks.

Hopefully Sugar and I can play together, and we may be able to play all of you as well!
Good luck to all those who are hopefuls in gaining access!


See you all in Beta!

Sugar and Wicked, signing off!


Friday Fantasy Alpha! - Logs from Eorzea Entry VII [Wicked Edition]


           So, with this years E3 over, we have little information available to the public concerning FFXIV. But we did get some cool options, plus a super awesome view of the Beta UI and BattleSystem. New videos posted on the FFXIV Lounge and their youtube channel showcasing a mash-up of 3 separate videos which one of them shows the Beta played by one of the E3 guests and the explanation of some of the new BattleSystem. Finally, we also have yet another log for Alpha 2 testing by Wicked, and one to come by Sugar.


Friday Fantasy Alpha! - Logs from Eorzea Entry VII

Today's posts have been rescheduled for tomorrow, there is a lack of things to report on and our new author would like to make a proper introduction of herself to you all. So tomorrow, expect the Logs from Eorzea Wicked, and Sugar Editions!


W.T.F. Gēmā Repōto



           Wow, last week was a bit off wasn't it? Once again we bring you the weekly the W.T.F. Gēmā Repōto. Last week, we had two interviews with fellow gamer/anime nerds, also known as, Otaku. Also, we had a very opinionated, and somewhat biased Friday Fantasy Alpha 14 post. It may rub some the wrong way, but we do have minds of our own, and opinions of our own, even if they don't match with yours.

           We apologize profusely for lacking the Wednesday Anime Wonders, and Thursday Tactics posts of last week, there was some really heavy things irl that needed to be handled and it made it impossible for me to even think about doing the posts. We will do our best not to miss another post, as we continue handling the issues before us as they are still somewhat active, and matter more than this blog. We are sure you understand. :)

Friday Fantasy Alpha 14 - Logs from Eorzea Entry VI [Wicked Edition]

          We have lost our author for Thursday Tactics, so for now, that will be on the back burner until we figure something out. We continue on though, with an exciting announcement...I ask you all to give a warm welcome to our newest author, a fellow Final Fantasy XIV Alpha tester, SugarSpeak!, I like calling her Sugar. She will be giving [Sugar Editions] of FFXIV Eorzea Entry logs, and possible some W. Anime Wonders contributions.

          With this, we are regrouping our efforts for now. W. Anime Wonders, and T. Tactics won't be active for a couple weeks, but that will not deter us from bringing you the information you want on FFXIV, with two active posters now. Thank you for your understanding and we hope to resume W.T.F. combo bento's in full.

          That wraps up this week's W.T.F. Gēmā Repōto, stay with us, and don't forget to subscribe! we have multiple ways for you to follow! Google Friend Connect, FeedBurner RSS, Facebook Otaku Page. Don't hesitate any longer :)


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.

Yokoku dekinai! - A-KON Interview with a Otaku II

Christopher Wright: Yes a little for the first day. As Princess Peach
WickedSin: And your friends? how many people all went with you? Hopefully they dressed up too.
Christopher Wright: There where seven of us. Derek, Emily and Micheal didn't dress up. Jen dressed up as Rachal Alucard for 2 days and Haruhi Suzmiya for the last day. Izzy, Alica and Ruth dressed up as the Alice, The March Hare(?) and The Madhatter

Yokoku dekinai! - Anime Kaigi! Interview with an Otaku

Anime Kaigi 

WickedSin
-puts on some MC Chris- Anime Kaigi!! Flagstaff! right? Horrible city, but Anime Kaigi! ya!
Riley.x)
nope. flagstaff isn't that bad. it was really pretty and the drive up was funner than the actual con.(:
WickedSin
Ooo thats not good o.o Road trips are fun, but what happened at the con that made it so meh?
Riley.x)
there were long breaks in between the interesting panels. and half of the other panels didn't appeal to my group. it was also fairly small compared to con-nichiwa and saboten, also in arizona.
WickedSin
o.o...wow that's kind of depressing. I mean, It's suppose to be Anime Kaigi. Excitement! awesomeness!
What was wrong with the panels? I mean everyone was all dressed up and went for 3 days yet no fun?
Riley.x)
yeah. kaigi did have some fun panels though. the voice actor panels, those are always fun. and kingdom hearts 101 was fun, too. the boring ones were about makeup and wigs and things we didnt want to hear about. people hogged the gaming room, too.

W.T.F. Gēmā Repōto - June 7th



           This past week on Gamer Rants from Hell! Entry log V for Final Fantasy XIV concerning more of the Party based Battle System, the User Interface, Attribute Point System, the ellusive Battle Regimen, and to wrap things up; opinions of the testers on how things should be, and how they shouldn't.

           Also we have yet another review by our lovely Mizu-chan about Shugo Chara Doki! Season two of one of the best Shojo's we've seen in some time. Be warned, there are spoilers if you haven't seen Season one.

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.

W.T.F. Gēmā Repōto



          So, next week, we are starting something a bit different here at Gamer Rants from Hell. We've collected data concerning what you all actually wanna see here. So from now on, we will be reformatting a bit, Wednesday Anime Wonders, Thursday Tactics, and Friday Fantasy will be the focal point. Along with that, we will still have a delinquent version of Caturday Games and Monday Media meshed together. Haven't found a place for it yet, most likely there will not be, just leave it as a random entry throughout the week that will be based around the games I personally play and am enjoying.

           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!
