FFXIV: A Realm Reborn

Of course. This is SE. In XI, PC/PS2/PS3/Xbox360 all play together.

In fact, the reason there's no Xbox One version is that Microsoft demanded dedicated servers.

[Iecerint]

It looks like you actually have to take some action to participate in Open Beta. Here's a link with some information.

[tanstalas]

I already filled that out, pretty sure how that is how I got into phase 3

[Iecerint]

Yeah, but P1-3 were closed beta. P4 has been advertised as Open Beta. But it's only kind-of Open, apparently.

[tanstalas]

yeah, so I don't think I need to reapply

[Iecerint]

No, that's being put there for anyone else who might visit this thread.

Maybe you could add it to the OP in case people have a casual interest?

[Iecerint]

Happy scumday btw

[Iecerint]

It sounds like ActionDan might try to play beta too if he can run the game decently on his laptop.

[tanstalas]

Eyefinity makes game crawl, had to turn graphics down to high.

[Iecerint]

Ha, how the other half lives.

My laptop can play it on Standard better than my PS3. I have an NVIDIA card, though, and Dan has Radeon.

Also, my little brother just traded in his 360 and a bunch of games for a PS3 so that he'll be able to play, too. He'll probably play GLA -> PLD, so we'll have a tank.

[tanstalas]

I have a 7970. Not many games I can't run on maximum 1920x1080 anyhow. 5760x1080 is a little harder lol

[Iecerint]

Rumors that the beta isn't until the 13th.

[tanstalas]

1 week open beta? Seems small

[Iecerint]

Well, it's already confirmed that the open beta would only be a week. The issue is that they also announced a time-gap between open beta and early access, which would imply that either open beta or early access will be less than a week.

[tanstalas]

Early access is pretty much guaranteed to be a week.

[ActionDan]

open beta for any game for only a week is ridiculously short.

[dramonic]

preordered

[tanstalas]

My framerate is shitty when playing atty 5870x1080.

Have to turn graphics down to high

And yay, Dramonic. Also sign up for beta Dramonic

[Iecerint]

OMG yay.

AngryPidgeon also preordered. I think Dramonic's special friend is also playing, unless dram is saying that he's going to play a character on his special friend's account.

[dramonic]

no, we're both playing.
