Final Fantasy FFXIV: A Realm Reborn

[Binzyrd]

The time has arrived for you to experience the hallmarks of the Final Fantasy World – chocobos, airships, moogles, and more – in the open beta of FFXIV: ARR! This open beta phase is live from August 17-19. Hurry and register here.

You can pre-order FFXIV now and gain early access, starting August 24th, before the official launch happens on August 27th. If you pre-order, you’ll also get in-game bonus items, including the Cait Sith Doll Minion and a Mog Cap. You'll need a separate FFXIV account for each character you want on your multiboxing team. Pre-order pricing and info.




FFXIV has a variety of gameplay duties to keep your multiboxing team busy:

*QUESTS – Your multiboxing team can come to the aid of the inhabitants of Eorzea and earn rewards.

*INSTANCED DUNGEONS – Show off your multiboxing prowess as you face the dangers of the realm’s darkest recesses, including burial grounds, haunted mansions, and abandoned mines.

*FULL ACTIVE TIME EVENTS (FATE) – These events tests your battle skills and pop up when you least expect them. You can choose whether or not your team will rise to the challenge and join the fray by simply crossing the event threshold.

*GUILDHESTS – These small-scale operations are given by the Adventurers’ Guild. Your mutiboxing team can combine forces with others, using teamwork to prevail in menacing battleground instances.

*GUILDLEVES – The Adventurers’ Guild issues tasks that vary greatly in nature. You’re likely to find something that suits your team, whether it’s battlecraft leves, fieldcraft leves, or tradecraft leves.

*CRAFTING – Create superior wares for your multiboxing team or seek your fortune as crafters.

*GATHERING – Fishers, miners, and botanists survey the land and gather natural resources as another option for your team to become prosperous.

Game looks cool

Haven't spent a whole lot of time with it yet other than getting it to work with ISBoxer (which it does, by the way) but I do wish I didn't have to sit through 5-10 minutes of cut scenes in order to get a new character into the game I suppose that's to be expected from Final Fantasy though.

Assuming people here on dual-boxing.com are also interested, mods can add an FFXIV sub-forum here as well

The beta test for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn has ended.

Anyone who wants to play on the Japanese servers (game is still in English, but if you live in Asia, or Australia, better performance than US servers), I am on the Hades server.

Just an FYI, English speaking players on reddit chose Tonberry as the "official" non-Legacy server to play on. Masamune used to be a heavily populated English-speaking world back in 1.0 (it still seems that some Legacy players are staying on Masamune).

I've been in the last 2 betas and will be in early access starting Friday when servers open.

Given it's a sub-based game, I'm probably not gonna box for a while, but I've seen a few videos of people doing it already.

OMG reddit users. thanks for the warning. I will steer clear!
