Playing this on PC on max settings makes a huge difference compared to the PS3 graphics which is set to like med/low settings. The comparison is like night and day.
Didn’t see it posted already, but here’s a great resource for everything you need to know about XIV so far (backstory, content, trailers/music, systems, etc.)
If you want a refresher or want to convince someone to play, here’s a great link to show them.
Did anyone else get a second set of codes from SE, if so, do you know wtf they are for? LOL
I’m the opposite, I registered both the 18 digit pre-order and 20 digit serial key and haven’t received a single email from them. There’s also no way to check if the game has successfully been registered when I log into account management. Their lodestone site is a piece of shit too. They say go there to check your characters. What?
Square-Enix really wants to take that title from Nintendo as the company with the worst run online account system and customer support.
any idea if you can use a ps3 pad on your pc for this?
You can. Just need a third party device to recognize your PS3 pad.
If you don’t mind using your charge cable there’s no need for any extra devices.
You just need the drivers from here: forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller It’s not Ad-supported either unlike that MotionJoy nonsense.
Just got myself an early access code.
hmmm, I see I got my 1tb harddrive in today after work. I’m wondering…If I should just skip sleeping, spend all night/day installing windows on this thing, along with all driver, programmers, whatnot from my old harddrive, then play using this new clean, prestine HD instead of the 8 year old 80gb one I’m using which I’m sure is the reason I’ve been getting blue screens.
I think I could pull it off…would also make it so that i am dead tired and fall asleep early tommorow so i can in turn wake up early to play for 8 hours before I go to work!
DOOOO IT!
Minerva easy fam, you already lvl 20 in like 3 jobs lol how much beasting can one do?? Lol can’t front tho it’s feeling like Xmas my alarm already set for EA hahahaha.
Do it, so that when you sleep, I’ll break into your house and steal your PC and equipment.
I don’t even have to break in. Your mom will let me in if I ask nicely.
all day?
what the Fuck are you writing your own drivers?
just image the drive, be fine in a few hours
Just a few more days until I get to son @swbeta and then have him do missions for me under fear of e-death. Can’t wait.
Get hyped!!!
Those trailers make you want to be a black mage or whoever gets their Madara on droping meteor on the damn battlefield!!!
With the King Behemoth fight is that gonna be a FATE? looks like 20 heads was busting him up lol
Fuck outta here :mad:

Finally put in my code on the site. Do I need to download the installer again, or is the current one going to work?
Indeed, took a lot less time than I thought lol, only a few hours. Forgot most important things were on my externals anyways. My download speeds even increased for some reason. Got 4 hours of sleep, should be ready to pass out by 9 or 10 tonight, I’m in there. Lord I haven’t been this hyped for an mmo since Vanilla WoW, making me do crazy things.
Whenever i read things like that i’m reminded of this comic from the oatmeal
“what you got for lunch tho”
how about fuck off while I get my smash on…lol
noisy co-workers are low tier
dat itis though…I dont feel like doing shit now…
