If you are not able to join Masamune now, please try again later. Character creation has been TEMPORARILY halted on several servers. They will be opened again gradually. Meanwhile, some of us already managed to get on to Masamune. We will be waiting for you.

reserved for future updates

[A: Pre-order bonuses attach to an FFXIV service account, so all characters on that service account will be able to receive the pre-order bonuses.]

Q: Are the pre-order bonuses attached to the entire Square Enix account? Or is it just a registration code we activate on specific service accounts?
A: Pre-order bonuses attach to an FFXIV service account, so all characters on that service account will be able to receive the pre-order bonuses.

Q: Will it be possible to register the PS3 version's pre-order bonuses on the Windows version?
A: Yes, this will be possible. By inputting the product code enclosed with the PS3 version into your PS3, you will be able to choose to add the PS3 version to either an existing FFXIV service account or a new FFXIV service account. If you choose to add it to an FFXIV existing service account, the pre-order bonuses will be applied to that FFXIV service account.

Q: For people who purchased the 1.0 Collector's Edition, it was said that the bonuses would be distributed via Mog Letters; however, will these still be distributed even if we didn't input any codes?
A: Users who purchased and registered the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector's Edition, the bonus items will be sent by Mog Letter without having to input any additional codes. Users who purchased the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector's Edition but did not register the code will need to input the Collector's Edition registration code.

Q: Are the pre-order bonuses only for online purchase? If you pre-order at a retail store will be bonuses still be included?
A: Pre-orders have begun today for both online purchases and retail stores as well. Please note that this may differ from store to store, so it's a good idea to confirm with the retailer beforehand.

Q: Legacy members are being given Early Access, so does that mean they will also be receiving the Mog Cap and Cait Sith Doll Minion?
A: No, players who have fulfilled the criteria for the Legacy Campaign are only being granted early access to the game.

Q: Will people who have the 1.0 Collector's Edition be able to apply the pre-order bonus in-game items and early access rights to their old accounts if they pre-order the standard PC version of the game?
A: When registering the pre-order bonus code you will be able to select which FFXIV service account the bonus is applied to.

Q: If someone who purchased the 1.0 Standard Edition wants the FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Collector's Edition in-game bonus items, is it possible to obtain these by buying the Collector's Edition digital upgrade? Or will it be necessary to purchase the Standard Edition of ARR as well as the digital upgrade?
A: You simply need to purchase the Collector's Edition digital upgrade.

Q: If I am playing on NA account, am I able to play with my friends on EU account?
A: Yes. There is no region lock. You will be able to play with your friends on the same server/ world.

Q: Where can I purchase the game?
A: http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/en/product

Q: There is no Singapore on the list when I register, what should I do?
A: If your game is NA region, register an account under the NA region. If you game is EU region, register an account under UK. -Why UK and not other EU regions? -Monthly Sub fees under UK is slightly cheaper due to the conversion rates.

Q: Will there be game time cards for FFXIV: ARR?
A: Yes. It has been announced that there will be game time cards. Availability varies for different countries.

Q: When is the official release of the game?
A: 27 August 2013.

Q: When is beta phase 4?
A: 17 to 19 August. (16 to 19 for those who were in phase 3).

Q: How do I get into beta phase 4?
A: You can't if you have not registered for it. The beta registration is closed.

Q: Are there any level caps on beta phase 4?
A: Yes. Level 20 is the cap.

Q: Will there be any wipes on beta phase 4?
A: No. Unless there is a game-breaking glitch/ bug, which will then be decided by the developers if a wipe is necessary.

Q: When is the early access?
A: 24 to 26 August. No downtime from 26 to 27 August.

Q: How do I join your Free Company/ Linkshell?
A: Submit an application at http://einsofgaming.com/ffxivarrapply

Q: Does your Free Company/ Linkshell accept new players?
A: Yes, we do. Both casual and hardcore players are welcome too.

Q: Which server will your Free Company/ Linkshell be on?
A: Masamune.

Q: Why Masamune and not other servers?
A: 1) Masamune is the unofficial Oceanic/ SEA/ SG server for both Legacy and New players. 2) We have a group of Legacy players and of course, we cannot leave them behind.

Q: Why JP server and not NA server?
A: The latency on JP server is much lower than NA server. Most of us get 80-100ms on JP server and 300+ms on NA server.

Q: Can new players join Masamune?
A: Yes. of course. Masamune accommodates both New and Legacy players.

Q: Will I lose out on a lot of things if I join a Legacy server as a New player?
A: Not really. Many of the Legacy players will likely try out the new class/ job which means they will start as level 1 again. On other note, you will get to enjoy a stabilized community and need not worry about monopoly where it may happen on new servers. On the new servers, a group of people will probably rush to the top and farm in order to monopolize the market.

Q: Who do I contact for an invite to the Free Company/ Linkshell after I have applied?
A: We will update our officers' contacts after we create our characters. This is to safeguard their name from being taken/ copied. We will give an update on our twitter, facebook and forums.

Q: Will your Free Company/ Linkshell be doing raids and dungeons?
A: Yes, of course.

Q: Will your Free Company/ Linkshell do some PvP?
A: Yes, of course.

Q: Will your Free Company/ Linkshell have your own housing?
A: Yes, of course.

Q: Is voice chat/ mic compulsory for your Free Company/ Linkshell?
A: No, not compulsory but you are encouraged to join us on Raidcall. Though, it will be compulsory to listen on Raidcall for the raids as communication is crucial for raiding.

Q: Is there a similar database site for FFXIV: ARR like WoWhead, Rifthead, your head, my head?
A: The closest thing so far is http://xivdb.com

If anybody have any questions to ask about FFXIV: ARR, feel free to post them and we will do our best to answer. At the same time, we can compile it to the list of FAQs. Thanks!

The Guild creation requirement very weird lol. Need 4 friends of a certain friendship bond of 150++ and at least level 35 to be online at the same time + other requirements bla bla bla. Cannot just straight create.. so troublesome lol. If really want.. then can arrange a date all online at the same time.. at least level 35.. and I don''t know what they mean by the friendship bond of 150++... kinda stupid..

Lol.. I just playing casually while waiting for FFXIV ARR. Somehow this game got me addicted in the mean time but ARR is still my first choice, which is about 1 month away.. Add my 1st char: Einzo. 2nd char: Einsof. We can just add each other up and dungeon together. Won't be creating a Guild for this game coz I won't be able to commit to it and my mandarin is not very fluent.

are there english patch ?

Not that I know of.. No word on the western release either.

Hi Enizo,

i got a program failed to initialize error. =(
any idea how to solve it pls?

thanks.

Lykos

Download applocale and open the game client with it.

Wtf. What did I put in there!? I don't remember putting numbers!
Or I just went 1234567 something

EDIT: Use the 3rd option instead. No ID required.

There is an easier way to register without using ID. Use option 3 for the registration. Finding a Chinese ID is a pain-in-the-ass, and you must find IDs belonging to people who are 18 years or above in case there is a anti-game-addiction system in place.

Option 3 still requires ID number.. :O!
