So do we get to keep our character and their current world for the official release?

If you've already preordered, then I yes I believe so.

ahh okay cool. I haven't preordered yet was gonna do it tomorrow, if I have to start over I won't really mind though.

yes, your progress is saved. unless they find a major bug that requires a full server wipe lol

As long as they don't find that any exploits were used to acumulate a large amount of gil or levels then they won't wipe the phase 4 progress.

Oh okay that makes sense. Can't wait to try it some more.

"Final Fantasy XIV Smashes Open Beta Record

However, less than 24 hours later, Square Enix had to update fans by stating that they had broken the record again - this time by having 150,000 concurrent users.

Despite this huge influx of users, apparently not too many people are interested in playing tanks. In another tweet, Yoshida appealed to gamers to play some more of the supporting roles in order to help balance the experience. There are apparently not enough Marauders or Gladiators in Eorzea.

The previous record for concurrent users in an open beta was held by Phantasy Star Online 2. This saw 107,259 players online at the same time on the 24th of July.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn releases on both the PlayStation 3 and PC in a few weeks. There's also a version planned for the PS4, which will appear at a later date.

I guess people want to test play Arcanist more than tank classes.

You can send me a personal message here on VGC and I'll let you in. =)

@ Deskpro2k3 - Didn't you hear? Topaz Carby is the new best tank in the game! (Have you seen all the threads demanding a nerf? lol)

New dungeon crawler video. Super Epic part at the end!
