Anybody interested in being a healer? I got romch FFXIV and he's going to be rolling ninja (dps), and given that Mey also ninjas and I tank, so all we need to be a functional TPPS party is a healer.

(...or I guess they could tank and I could heal. But.)

I'd say me, but I don't have any money for playing FFXIV.

Would removing the base game's cost be incentive enough, or is the subscription fee too much even without paying for the base?

by **jokool** on 14th December 2016, 8:12 pm

Question about that subscription: If you miss a month or drop out for a while, does it hurt anything?

Also, before you do anything, let me try the free demo first to see if I can actually play the game. Dreaming

Another question: I was looking over the demo on Steam and saw that there were a ton of negative reviews about it. Something about having to have separate accounts if you want to continue playing or something like that. Should I just go to the official website to try FFXIV, or do you guys not have any issues with it on Steam?

I have no idea. I don't play it with Steam. :V

*goes over to the official website to check it out*

Hmmm... Okay, it looks like there's no demo on the official website, just the free trial. I hate to waste a free trial if my computer isn't strong enough to handle the game, so I may download the Steam demo unless it really screws up things.

@Meyneth it looks like you downloaded the demo, but I don't see the actual game on your page either, so I'm assuming you also play off of the official site? If so, did you have to make a new account or anything after the demo was over, and was there any issues if you did?

by **jokool** on 14th December 2016, 9:06 pm

Okay, I think I'll be downloading the Benchmark to see if the game can run first. I'll probably do that tomorrow when I'm off from work and have time.

Yeah, the benchmark is probably your best bet for making sure you can play the game.

The problem people had with the steam demo (if I remember correctly) is that your account would be linked to steam. So you couldn't go and buy a physical copy or something else, you would have to pay through steam.

~~and I am always happy to heal, though I'm not sure how long I would be able to keep the subscription going. I would just pick up my last character so I wouldn't be starting from the beginning though~~

Yeah I Downloaded the Demo ages ago on a old commuter that could not play it. I ended up buying a code from Amazon when it was on sale. I recommend getting it not from steam, since you're locked into steam sales and only buying from steam and I don't know if the time cards work with the steam version. And with the non steam version* you can buy from various sellers, like Amazon, Walmart, or The Square Enix Store itself.**

*The "Versions" are identical from what I can tell, just buying and paying is different for each one.

**Note that the links are to listing of the A Realm Reborn and Heavensward bundle. There are other ways to buy.

benchmark results:: The scenes were very laggy and had about 10-20 fps at best, and it would really dip down low when there was a lot on screen (like battles, a large thing moving, or a large group on screen at once).

Not saying it's unplayable, but, most likely, it would be a bit frustrating if the actual game is anything like this (or worse...).

Add to that the subscription fee I'd have to pay to actually play this past the free trial... I don't know...

> Flee · by Lief Katano on 15th December 2016, 2:49 pm

If you can't play it(/don't want to/can't pay the subscription fee), that's fine and understandable. I'm certain that I can get another member into the TPPS FFXIV cult anyways.

Certain.
