Hello, I've been playing FFXIV like crazy since launch on PC/PS3. Since today is the first day of beta phase 2 where we can use our actual characters, I'm going to live stream for a while so if you have any questions for a top/experienced player, come in chat and let me know.

I briefly played a realm reborn on the ps4 beta this morning, it wasn't too bad but I need to have a proper session on it later to make any real judgement. I liked the look and feel but there was far too much rubbish plastered all over the screen.

Ill be giving it a go for phase 2 to get a sneaky preview out before launch, but in truth I was considering not bothering. I was enjoying the Beta during phase 1, decent enough gameplay/nice graphics, and then just as I get going the game decides to bork on me. 2/3 of my quests glitched & I was unable to complete them leaving me running around the first city with no way to advance the game. Im quietly hoping things are fixed a little for phase 2. Its reputed to be on live servers this time, so able to join PC/Ps3 players, which Ill be testing with my co-editor as he has the Ps3 version at hand while ill be on Ps4. Anyone else have a similar quest issue as I did during phase 1?

First phase had level cap and all. I started beta and found out that they kept my character from ps3 beta =). Cool!!!!

Here's a vid of my Free Company (and some randoms) doing Leviathan Hard Mode. It was our first run and a dry run (we didn't use a guide). Super easy fight for a hard mode, but it's part of the story. I'll try and get videos of the other primals fights up eventually. Make sure to click HD too .. obviously (stupid FB compression..)

You can customize the HUD. You can move things, change their size, or hide them all together. It's under "HUD Layout". R3 adjusts size of each window.

I didn't notice this in phase 1 or 2. This phase is 100% live though (you can do anything and everything). The ONLY exception is brand new players are capped at Level 20 on this beta.

I wish it be more action based game. Phantasy Star Online is still best mmo ever.

There is no level cap in Beta 2... I just reached level 21. No need in level cap, considering Beta is just 3 days long.

It's because you pulled your character from the PS3 beta (according to your previous post). They just made it a bit confusing and I should have clarified a bit.

"The playable content will be the same as that of the official Windows and PlayStation® 3 versions; however, for Beta Test Phase 2, characters that were created on the PlayStation® 4 will not be able to level beyond level 20. "
