Late reply... been caught up with FFXIV! Varen is not incorrect though, preorder got "Early Access", but it was more like "Early No Access" because SE has been having problems with the capacity of users just trying to login to the servers. They have been
working to fix it this week and it's gotten better (I can usually login after a few attempts, as opposed to the first 4-5 days where I couldn't get in at all), but it's still pretty difficult at peak hours (in the evening, right when everyone gets off school/work).

I have confidence they will have it sorted out in the next week or two, so if you are planning on buying it it might be worth it to wait a bit so you can actually create a character and login without much trouble.
The game is really fun so far, though! As with all MMOs, I think it is a lot more fun if you have friends playing the game. I don't know if I would stay interested were my friends not partying with me & learning the ropes with me. I went into my first dungeon last night and had a blast trying to keep everyone alive as a Conjurer!

The environment, atmosphere music & characters are all gorgeous though, as expected of Final Fantasy! I think FF fans would enjoy experiencing the franchise in a different way. My boyfriend totally flipped out when he realized he could have a Chocobo mount, LOL.
Been keeping logs on my gaming tumblr,
VS Game, but here are some shots of me & my friends!
