    ...and as promised, logins work today.

    The FINAL FANTASY XIV Alpha Test Client can be downloaded from this page. Please refer to the following instructions on downloading and installing the game.

    Download Instructions

    1. Click on the Download Installer button below.

    2. Click on the URL and select Save to Disk.
    The URL will become invalid after a short period of time, so be sure to click on it immediately after it appears.

    - File Name: ffxivsetup.exe
    - File Size: 122,488,152 bytes (116.8 MB)


    For Internet Explorer users:
    Upon clicking the link below, a prompt will ask you whether you wish to run the file or save it to your hard drive. Do not select the run option. Save the client, and before executing the installation, verify that the file size matches the number listed above.

    after that is done... see how big the client is

    1) 4.47 meg - H2010.05.12.0000
    2) 2.48 gig - H2010.05.21.0000

    holy shit it has an interface !!!!!!

    looks good, now if i could only find the thing to make it full screen for starters

    edit:
    ok no fullscreen, but so far it's in better shape than that mortal online "release".

    thoughts:

    so last night i finally did a starter quest which takes you out of town and keel dem funky mosquito. what i do like about ff14 is that it actually feels like you are getting involved over other more "generic mmo's". for example where a quest is given like zomg we need to do X and Y and that is it vs in ff14 you can clearly read the body language and facial expressions. this then gives of the feeling that something is not right and the actual urgency over some blank npc.

    only thing that is irritating me is the damned aviation mouse mode, which is hardcoded. i believe that will be taken out and at least an option to go normal or inverse. seriously that is just wacked

    sigh well then, saturday is next 4 hours alpha test block. then i would try do some actual actual testing over getting my initial starting quests done if it is at all possible. though i am still getting used to ff14's way of play
