What's the best way to use limbal rings? I'm expecting some people to make them clash horrendously just to be obnoxious or whatever but I'm trying to use them to accentuate eye color. Any thoughts?
Heard good things about going with 'darker than eye color' instead of the robot neon look.

Would PS3 players get some sort of coupon if support is dropped? It doesn't seem fair that a customer has to buy a game all over again just because their old version is intentionally obsoleted.
They were giving away PS4 copies to PS3 owners for like a year...

I think one FF Boss staple that we've yet to see is the "Big-Clump-of-wtfamilookingat" like Neo-ExDeath, Kefka's Tower and Bizarro Sephiroth. Unless I've forgotten something.

I'm hoping Void Ark fills that niche :unsmigghh:

The way I understood it, they're going to implement a way to 'move' (where you can surrender a plot as payment for a different empty plot) first before introducing a 4th housing area. Though more wards may be added to the current areas in the mean time depending on how long it takes to finish that.

I find it strange the Moogles are the crafting tribe instead of the Goblins... but eh, as long as i'm not searching for them in random rear end cracks of walkable ground in Sea of Clouds again.
It makes sense though. The gobbies are better crafters than the player and wouldn't need our help. Moogles on the otherhand have been shown to be completely incapable of accomplishing anything without assistance.

Some of the earlier patches seemed to be downloadable shortly after patch notes went up, but the last few patches it seems that the download has only been available around an hour or so before the scheduled maintenance end time.

Another possibility is that most of the recent patches have also involved some backend datacenter work that would make turning on the login and update servers early an undesired complication.

I'm not sure, lore wise, how they would cram in another race if Stormblood is all about the Ala Mhigo.

They were able to shoehorn in the Au-ra despite the heavensward storyline having basically nothing to do with them.
Would be easy to say "here's some already subjugated population from the eastern borders of the Empire that Garlemald brought in to displace the alamhigans"

Key stores like GMG usually have the non-steam version on sale for decent prices.

The other part of the steam version is that part of your subscription goes to fund GabeN's knife collection instead of supporting Yoship's t-shirt collection.

Go in to documents/my games/final fantasy xiv - a realm reborn/ and open FFXIV_BOOT.cfg with notepad or whatever text document program you like, look for BootVersionCheckMode and change the zero to a one. Run the launcher and it'll kick you the mismatch error one more time, but it'll restart itself and start downloading things.
If this doesn't work for you (it didn't work for me) the real solution is to force the launcher to update by telling it that you have a version that doesn't exist.

Go to the game's install directory (programs/squeenix/ffxivwhatever) and open the "boot" folder.
find ffxivboot.ver and open it with notepad
simply change the last number from 1 to 0

Next time you launch the game it will think it has an out-of-date nonexistent version of the launcher and finally download the new one.

If it's fully true that Stormblood has a close to 40 million budget, they're going to advertise it hard even if it's a stinker because player disbelief about being told it's shite and the initial rush of people buying it from hype alone is going to get people to buy it upfront and they'll hope to recover a good chunk of that back immediately.


There's really not much cause for concern that Stormblood is going to be anything less than stellar though. They've earned a lot of faith.
40mil and no new race, tank, or healer?

My ping has stayed essentially the same. As a sidenote, my ping is worse than Mr.Nice!' in Florida and I am in Texas and this amuses me but it also might be why they didn't pick a location here.
Not sure why it'd be worse than Florida; up near DFW my ping has dropped a bit to 48~49ms. There's a ton of network infrastructure in Texas. :pcgaming: :clint: :pcgaming:

Wonder if they physically relocated the servers or if they've dropped new hardware for stormblood and did some log shipping over the last two weeks and are waiting for the tail to catch up.

Or if they split the difference, added new hardware and some dude is cranking it down some interstate with a u-haul full of numbered raid drives.
Yoshi P personally carried the drives down from Canada on an overnight marathon road trip, arriving just in time to host the media event in San Francisco today.
