Final Fantasy 14 Beta is out!

human_error · Sep 2, 2010

Keep trying the registration page - I eventually got in after about 2 hours of trying.

OFC my download speed is 10 bytes a sec peak :shadedshu and logging into the beta site logs me in as a random other person, so their servers are getting really hammered atm.

On the plus side with this many people trying to login teh beta should have decent populations - i wasn't interested in the game until i learned of the armoury system instead of a class system (plus those cat-like people look awesome :eek:

)

INSTG8R · Sep 2, 2010

keep trying - you get through if you keep at it.

Got the code, registered BUT !!!

I click on "Log In" on the Beta Testers website, after a short load I get the same message "Log in"

Seems like I can't log in to download the client

Yeah I managed to get in and get it registered. Now I am just in a loop of trying to log into the Beta Test Site.
They are obviously getting slammed

human_error · Sep 2, 2010

with the beta site i have found a bug in the links they give you - if you are applying/have applied a European or non-us account then the link they give you is invalid.

The link given is https://dev-na.ffxiv.com/ where for europe it should be https://dev-eu.ffxiv.com/

I manage to login every attempt now (i was not allowed in for about an hour after i registered my beta code, so it takes time to pass through) but every time i login i'm under someone else's username still.

INSTG8R · Sep 2, 2010

LOL yeah actually I managed to get "In" and am finally downloading the client even tho it says I'm not logged in

Ah well at least I'm over that hump.

W1zzard · Sep 2, 2010

you can grab the beta client installer from fileplanet, and then the patch files from tpu downloads while you wait for your actual beta account to be created

KainXS · Sep 2, 2010

use this link to register the code instead

KainXS · Sep 2, 2010

Dent1 · Sep 2, 2010

Do I need to pre-order the game to take part in the beta?

I want to test out the game but do not have money to pre order it :S

no - no pre-order is needed for the open beta.

Sign up and have fun

The ones that already have a key but can't get to the account page: look up "Square Enix Account Management" on google, one of the first five hits will get you in without a timeout error. You'll have no more issues after that.

i've been trying for 2 days to download through the client - finally searched google for the file name and lo and behold - TPU comes up as HOSTING THE WHOLE THING!

I don't know how long you've had it up - but thank you W1Z!!! you are the man for yet another reason!

Yup, it'll just auto-update the first time you run it.

yep! doubled the DL speed and I'm off the main server

was about 10% through but with faster dl it's well worth the switch... (was 30% through on Sqeenix Client, but at 10k max that was dreadful) TY again

just finished XIII last night, 49:47 total

only beat Ch13, haven't done anything on Gran Pulse yet... looking forward to this
