Any further thoughts about World choice for the NTSCuk / Rargh players (and has anyone started the Open Beta yet)?

Available worlds are:

Cornelia
Kashuan
Gysahl
Mysidia
Istory
Figaro
Wutai
Trabia
Lindblum
Besaid

Also, is there a choice of starting location / city as in FFXI? Is this dependant on Race. Any preference on this so we can party together where/if appropriate from the start?

Some advice would be good I want back in with the old Rargh guys and looking to move with AaD as well.

another 2 patches...

Hmm not sure what server, if anyone has a preference let us know.

Those were the best town names they choose from each game? Mysidia gets my vote.

Sure i'll vote that too, btw which game is that one from?

[Rep]

It's the mage town from FFIV, the one that Parom and Palom are from, has a catchy theme tune (Mystic Mysidia). The towns are listed in game order, from I-X.

Updating using uTorrent isn't working for me this time, downloaded the patch in no time, but the official client isn't reading it.

My download only just finished but then MS Security Suite halted the install saying it had a virus in one of the dat files.

I had that also with MS Security Essentials, its a false positive apparently and I said to exclude the FFXIV installation folder which sorted it.

[mikewl]

Ah thats good to know its just a false positive.

Annoyingly its downloading the last 0.2% again now, grrr.

Shadowlord isnt available for Open Beta. Seraph/Bismark peeps going to Wutai so ill prob do the same if u lot comin to same place?

[shafropuff]

I'm on Trabia with a bunch of my friends.

[Rep]

You should remind them Yuffie was from Wutai! Nibelheim would have been an awesome server name. Someone should make a poll with the server names.

[Rep]

I didn't realise that closed beta accounts had been wiped completely. Open Beta applications have been suspended too

[GluedOnBeard]

Yeah I tried earlier no go, is it even worth trying to play this on a macbook?
