Keep in mind that's just to register for a chance to be in the Beta. Not everyone who applies will get in.oneHeero said:

Some new stuff from Famitsu/Dengeki:
very interesting... looking forward to seeing the article.
Corinth from Eorzeapedia said:No pics yet but it is widely being reported that Weekly Famitsu and Dengeki PlayStation will have big articles on FFXIV this week.
I'm just going to list a bunch of the things being reported. Remember, we don't have pics yet and the magazines don't come out until tomorrow or the day after. In other words, all of this is UNCONFIRMED at the time I write this. Some of it we have heard before tho. Also, I will probably misspell a lot of things because I'm not going to bother looking up English terms.Don't hurt me.
Remember, at this time all of this is unconfirmed! However, we can expect to see real updates soon. And, if SE keeps up their habit, we'll see updates to the NA website to tie in with the magazine releases.
- The writeups will have pictures from the alpha build and interviews.
- When fighting, you have to think of distance and position. Also, moving parties will be the norm compared to the non-moving pull back to camp style of FFXI.
- MP will not auto-refresh. You will have to be careful with how you manage MP. There will be ways to gain MP.
- There will be 6 elements. Some people are saying that Light and Dark will not be present.
- Puglists have steal.
[*]- You can throw javelins at enemies that are not in a battle state to do a sort of sneak attack.
- Marauder's have low accuracy. They also have a meditate-like ability to store... something. Probably TP.
- Horticulturalist are the only ones that can see digging spots meant for them. They can dig up stuff during battle that can be used to back up the party. The more of these people you have, the more items you can get it sounds like.
- When a blacksmith repairs your weapon, you don't have to hand it over!!!
- The alpha build requires a computer with high specs. Some are saying its due to a lack of config options. The final product will require lower specs.
- VRAM512MB is enough.
- Not all parts of character making will be present in the beta. In particular, you cannot do facial customization.
- There is a mode where you can walk around to regain HP.
- There are spells you can cast while moving.
[*]- There are many ways to earn TP. You can earn TP from spellcasting as well.
- General parties are 6 to 8 people. Alliances are also possible.
- There are alpha build screenshots. People say there are small things that are different from the German alpha build we saw at Gamescom.
- Gladiators and Puglists have a way to gain hate.
- Gladiators have a version of Phalanx different from FF11. Their version is where you can guard with a shield while still attacking.
- Puglists have a provoke ability called Whistle.

If any of this is true, im still going to have a hard time decided to be either a career pugilist or lancer.

Are you using your Square Enix ID or the old Members username/password?
http://account.square-enix.com/regist/
If you dont have an actual Square Enix ID, then make sure to create one there, and then click on the big banner at the members site to link the two. From then on, you'll only use the Square Enix ID username and password to log into anything related to S-E.
Dont worry about the one time password, thats just something that came with the FFXI security token.
Teknoman said:
I created an ID by going to the site listed on the FF13 product registration card http://member.eu.square-enix.com
So are you saying I need to make another.
Yeah the members thing came around before S-E ID arrived on the scene. Now S-E is trying to place all of their services under that one ID. You even can use it to log into FFXI. Just create a Square Enix ID and you can tie it to your members profile. It wont delete or change any info aside from the face you'll use the S-E ID for everything.
I think it reminds you that Members ID isnt an actual S-E ID at the front of the beta page, or at least it used to.
EDIT: Looks like the EU members site is drastically different from the NA site...but the same thing should apply. This is whats on the NA site:

Yes, you read one line and dismiss a game. Truly the rest of us gamers should look to you for inspiration when deciding what games are worthy of playing.

Ahh, the more information is trickling out into the public, the more excited I get. Pugilist is the class I'll go for in the beginning, they seem to resemble Monks the most, the only class I played in my sole month of FFXI.

There are reasons for this. It's the same balancing as any other game.
New news is good news! Glad to see so much info on parties, it is a focus I am definitely looking for in XIV.
I should be doing hw

The more I hear about the classes the more I'm starting to like the whole 'weapons=class' thing. Great idea because it sounds like I'm going to be screwing around a lot to find out what suits me best having never played an MMO before.

Nah I think I'll just wait and pop my cherry on XIV, I think I'll like it more because of that.

Tomorrow is the 11th for me, or does the Alpha page go by US standards?
2San said:Needs more Nomura
Don't know about you guys Nomura's style might be crazy, but at least it's not bland and generic.
Lol these look better than every single design in any recent FF game (main line). The designs actually make sense and look pretty badass (for the most part... those puglist or w/e fist weapons look stupid).
