Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Then...

[Brad]

This has finally downloaded (the joys of life in a small village) so I guess I should join the big server?

[shaffy_oppa]

Yup you got me in the right place. Character name is Siwon Jeong :/

[talizker]

No change for me, I was always going with the Rargh majority so - Excalibur / Tali Zker.

Not long before phase 4 now HYPE!

This is possible?



Also happy birthday Wedge

Cheers dude

Oh Tsing is heading to Ragnarok? that's a shame - no offense to the people going to Ragnarok of course Hope it works out!!

[shaffy_oppa]

I feel stupid. I skipped most of the dialog while playing the beta thinking I'll read it properly when I start the game... maybe I should've just read it so I could skip it in Phase 4 and move along faster.

WHAT IS THIS!?! Is that just available for PC? or PS3 too? That would fix my pad woes.

On a side note I heard of Kerushi (Bad Wolf) and hes heading over to Rag if you want to add him to the list. Also pretty sure Tsing is going to Excalibur.

I've tried to google this answer but can't seem to find anything does anyone have any idea if an i7 980x would suffice to run ARR if paired with a decent GPU?

I only found one benchmark that was for a 975.

I think given the majority are on Excal that's where I will head, all the old shells from Seraph seem to be there as well. To be honest doesn't make a massive difference for me as most likely I'll be starting level 1 anyway. Given I always preferred tanking I'm likely to go Gladiator and see how it goes.

Given I won't have much play time (too much other stuff to do) I'm most likely going to be a social player this time round rather than chasing end game etc.

That is too low to play it. Even around 2000 was a struggle for me on my old setup. At a guess i'd say 3000+ is playable and enjoyable. Anything lower might be playable but I can't imagine it would be nice to play.

Are we living in the 21st century? Why the feck can't i go to any server anywhere in any country and play with anybody. This archaic system must die and fast.

This is SE! In 11 we could move servers but they charged, and I think it has a 3month limit to every move.

I don't know why I even tried this. I've never liked MMOs! Was bored before I even created my character and I'll never have the time to commit to it. What a fool.

There always used to be a bench mark on the playonline site

There you go see what your rig registers as...

Really? The benchmark result I saw was back in February on a 975 and it got:

FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Official Benchmark (Exploration)
Tested on:2/21/2013 2:59:52 PM
Score:5276
Average Framerate:42.746
Performance:Very High
-Easily capable of running the game. Should perform exceptionally well, even at higher resolutions.

System:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130104-1431)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 975 @ 3.33GHz
12279.082MB
ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series(VRAM 2796 MB) 8.17.0010.1172

Then I found another but this is a 930:

Intel Core i7 930 @2.8ghz
6 MB DDR3 Corsair RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
60 GB SSD

Which got 6926 on Very High.

There was another build the same as above pretty much that got 6130 on Very High.

So will a 980x definitely be too slow? My thinking is looking at those it will be able to run it at Very High 1080?

Thanks for the link but I don't have a rig setup. I have the processor but not much else and was wondering whether to bother filling in the gaps so to speak or not to bother.
