Well then maybe it's not that bad. I've never played with goons so I guess it's a bit like jumping in a freezing lake: your genitals shrivel up and go away but eventually you get used to it.

So would starting right now be ok or would it be better to wait?

you have to clear through all of the main game to get to the expansion anyway, so the earlier you start the faster you can get a jump on that

on the other hand you're looking at a 24 hour maintenance in a couple of days straight into the clusterfuck that is a very popular game's first xpac launch. It'll be a miracle if long wait times are the only problem you run into.

I think hosed up and got the wrong kind of key for this. The one I have is five groups of four characters, but the site is asking for a a 6-3-6-3 grouping. Did I get the wrong region code?

The base version is on sale right now which lets you get a decent look at it on the cheap (aside from the fact your first week starting in a few days is going to be marred by all kinds of server traffic issues), from there you can decide if you want access to the 3.0 content at a later date when it's gone on sale. The only thing you miss out on by not having the expansion when you're first starting ARR is the new race.

This isn't the first time; I've only gotten as far as clearing Titan since this is basically my third character, and a different HW trailer showed what looked like the Sultana drinking some poisoned wine. Though that trailer also seemed to show her general being gutted and he's present in this trailer, so who knows. I'll find out in maybe a couple weeks, at least

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
So with KOTR being a thing in 3.0 maybe our new relic weapons will be recreations of the Knights' weaponry?


I AM SO loving HYPE. That shot at 3:29, it's loving murder time and I can't wait. :getin: :black101:

Does NIN also do Final Heaven as their LB3? DRG showed their new move but I thought NIN got a new one as well and Final Heaven was just going to be the MNK LB?

Rest assured that how that happens is waaaay more interesting than that it does. Enjoy, the further you get in the story the more hype you'll be having seen those trailers.
