My friend on PS3 is unable to select any server, he just gets thrown into Rammuh
anyone else had a similar issue?

Was someone yanking my chain about that free week due to the problems?

There is so much they can do make it both meaningful content and open to players. Just one of many ideas: Give each role a specific objective and lock higher medals unless it is achieved. More mandatory is the fact they need to make enemies durable to a bunch of players spamming AoEs. Again, a lot of ways to do that. A straight up resistance to AoE aside, they could have more "puzzle" enemies, e.g. enemies are immune to damage until a condition is met.
Seems like they are running into the same problem Guild Wars II did, though I wouldn't know from personal experience.

Aero, stone, stone, aero, stone, stone.. till you get to 15.
The game changes drastically from that dungeon onwards.
Dungeon running is incredibly worthwhile if you have rested XP.
I was getting 1310xp per kill in a Cutter's run earlier.
Levelled up super quick.

hunts/fates/quests (if you've got them in another town) all the way to lvl10+ then it's just a boring fate fest til 15 >_>
It's really fast getting it to lvl10 though
I really enjoyed Qarn as it showed the increase in difficulty this game can have for dungeons encounters.
And it is a little taste of what you can expect at level 50
(curse you Cursed Wall)
It's interesting because in the latest FF11 expansion, there are events that are kinda like FATEs called reives and they do give multiple objectives to meet that increase the rewards. You'd think that'd transfer over to FF14. It makes healing actually worthwhile.

Ehhhh. Maybe inside dungeons. Quests are still pretty easy and boring. Even then, Cutter's Cry isn't anything special (outside the first boss, maybe). My highlight so far has been Garuda. That fight is going to be one hell of a wake up call for a lot of players and it is "mandatory". Love it. Makes me imagine what this game would have been like if they didn't nerf all the main scenario quests.
Having no idea how a mechanic works in FFXI is a foreign, scary feeling... anyway, that sounds great. This game could learn quite a few things from FFXI. Besieged and Campaign seemed like perfect prototypes of FATEs, but what is more likely to have happened is that they saw Guild Wars II and just copied that instead. Not to sound jaded, but the fact Yoshi-P didn't play FFXI, but has played a bunch of other MMOs is very clear to me.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF LOGGING INTO THE SERVER ON PC.
ERROR 1017:
STEP 1: Download the program Auto-Keyboard.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Auto-Keyboard.shtml
STEP 2: When you download Auto-Keyboard. CLICK KEYSTROKE, A new menu will open up.
STEP 3: Put in these numbers above. Press NUMPAD 0 / DELAY 50 / Generate 10000000
STEP 4: Press the "start" button and set it up for F1 (should be automatic).
STEP 5: LOG INTO THE GAME, WHEN YOU GET TO THE CHARACTER SELECTION SCREEN, PRESS F1. (IT will automatically click Num 0 which significantly increases chance to get in).
STEP 6: Go have some coffee, and come back in 15 min.
WHAT THIS DOES NOT FIX
NA/JP ERRORS (If you get this, you have to stop the program by pressing F1) Then reopen client and do it again.
10102 (If you get this logging in, it will kick you out automatically).
WHAT THIS WILL FIX
Error 1017
Q Problem (It will bypass the Q system)
REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE TIME you USE the program, you have to go back into it and reset the NUM 0 (Meaning open it up, click Num 1 then Num 0 again, it will reset it).
Summary: Is this a 100% success rate?, No but it's about 95%, I have gotten in basically every single time within 15/30 min. Be patient.
If you see OTHER errors then 1017, this will NOT fix the problem.
PS - A ton of people on mumble are doing this trick now, And it's gaining huge steam, it's working extremely well, if you have ANY questions. LET ME KNOW.

Once you've chosen a server, you're always on that server.
The game itself is a delight and a joy to play.
The trouble is logging in to actually play it.
When the char selection screen says "Unable to update NA/EU list" does that mean I need to restart the client to ever see my server's char list again or can I just keep going back to main menu and going into "Start" to refresh and see if they appear?
An answer to this would be tremendously helpful, thank you.

The best Final Fantasy since XII that was released in the west.

If you're logged in and playing this game is fantastic. It's so much fun and reminds me what I loved about Final Fantasy in the first place. It's SO GOOD.
Unfortunately, most of the time you're sitting back and playing the "I wanna log in" game. It's very frustrating.
Which I assume is due to unexpected traffic.
edit: Oh shit, I just got in! Woot!

So I've heard of a trial extension? What are we getting?
We *might* be getting 7 days free, according to Yoshi-P

I'd have to imagine they'll wait until shit is actually functional to announce how much free time we'll be getting. I'm not feeling too optimistic about it being playable 7 days after launch, so a "free" extra 7 days won't really cover it.
CC was kind of poop out of the few dungeons I've played and yea it gets better at 40 with Stone Vigil and Garuda, my group got so fucking hyped fighting Garuda, lol, then everyone are now back to spamming shitty solo quests til we unlock the next boss -_-
Please lord have mercy D:

That's the last thing I was able to do in game (Thursday), so fucking boring. Good thing only level 15 is required.

Ah, I love the smell of a new fresh thread.
Smells like errors
From what I've seen so far about that game, it reminds me somehow of Final Fantasy XII. Shame that it seems to be online-only, as I would love that one to play single player, just like XII.

Man, at the end of the last OT, someone gave the advice of running to the tank if you manage to pull hate/aggro.
THIS THIS THIS THIS. I have no clue why people always freak out and run around like a headless chicken when they get hit. Leaves me stuck spamming shield lob and missed flashes hoping to pull it off you. God forbid there are lots of mobs up and i have to deal with targeting as well. It's the worst.
Also DPS who keep dealing damage. If it doesn't need to be burned down, take a chill pill for a second. There are enmity bars on the UI for a reason.
Although unless it's a boss fight, I tend to not lose hate to adds. Boss fights can be tough as I have to often spend time stunning the boss or adds and dealing with the awful GCD timer in between. All the while the DPS need to burn down the same adds so shit can get hectic.

I really wish they would go with the 1.0 idea of having random emotes done for victory poses. Seeing the same poses over and over from your character, as well as your character having a specific close up just seems odd.
Boss battles in 1.0 finished with something that looked straight from a standard FF victory pose scene, with everyone doing a different pose at once + fanfare.

This is standard MMO ettiquette. I guess some people are new to MMOs still, but yeah, they really need to either stand still or run toward the tank.
EDIT: There are enmity bars? Where's that?
Yeah some people need to learn not to just go full on spamfest.

There is a tiny bar to the left of each PT member that gives an estimate to where every member stands on the hate table.
EDIT: Also to the left of the mob list panel is an icon that changes colors. It indicates how likely you are to pull hate on that mob. Green = safe, yellow = elevated, orange = high risk, red = you're getting hit.

I love XII and ARR reminds me of XII... and IV, VI, VII and IX.
Creating macro programs just to log in? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
