A Month After Early Access

Good Day! My Fellow Eorzean!

First of all, I would like to apologize if I was able to give you guys an update just today. I personally got caught up with high workload demand that I wasn't able to post my daily updates and what has been happening with my character. It has been a month after Early Access.

Last Month I was one of those who had been blessed that didn't encounter any login error.. Errrr... Need to skip relieving that memory since a lot of players since now that everything was fixed. Digital Download is now back on sale..

A Realm Reborn is a great MMO game though even during the time sales was temporarily halted that it continued to be well known. Not being able to buy and play the game even made it looked more in-demand due to its popularity.

I gotta say Kudos to Yoshi-P's team who made it possible to revive such wonderful game and brought back glory to the Final Fantasy Franchise.

What I have been up to over the time I was gone?

Watch updates from Live letter during Tokyo Game Show (I would post a separate blog for what have been dicussed in Tokyo Game Show)

After I have completed the main story quest I have been trying to do the following things for my end game content.

Amdapur Keep (I will be posting a separate blog about my experience on that dungeon)

Relic Reborn (I will dicuss it in more detail on another post)

Philosophy Tome Farming (details on another post)

Darklight Armors

Primal Hard Mode Fights

Gil Farming (Shards, Marketboard and Many More)

Gathering Class Leveling (Botanist, Miner, Fisher)

Looking at this list I owe you guys a lot of content.. Will post these content as soon as possible.

For the meantime I would need to sleep. I have work later. Thanks for visiting my page. Its been only the third week of this blog but I getting good number of views.

If you have anything that I would like to cover or you have questions. Please don't hesitate to leave a comment. I'll answer back. I promise.

See You in Eorzea!

Maintenance has started.

Now that the maintenance has started. We won't be able to login to our characters until 3:00 AM but there shouldn't be a rush in during that time or we will experience 1017. Anyway. While waiting for the maintenance. I might be starting to play another game, which is totally unrelated to Final Fantasy.

Once the servers are up I will be posting updates about my experience.

Have a great day my fellow Eorzean!

News from Lodestone: Issue Wherein Players Are Unable to Interact With NPCs and Objects (Sep. 11)

Currently, we have confirmed an issue wherein players are sometimes unable to interact with quest-related NPCs and/or objects.

The issue is currently under investigation, and we ask for your patience.

Additionally, if you find that logging out and logging in again does not alleviate the problem, there is a possibility you are being affected by this issue. Should the problem persist, we ask that you report it through the in-game Support Desk Menu. As a temporary measure, we will be conducting an area server restart to try to improve the situation.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Another Maintenance: Further Improving the Current Gameplay

As we all know another maintenance was scheduled today at around Sep. 11, 2013 5:00 PM (PDT) to 3:00 AM (PDT).

What are the things that we should expect with this maintenance?
There are a lot of things and this should improve our gameplay. I personally think that the famed AFK Timer would be implemented on this update along with some graphical updates when doing FATES.

We all know by know that when you're doing certain Fates with a lot of player. The rendering of the main target (eg. Behemoth, Odin, Svara) tend to be less prioritized than rendering other players. You'll notice this when you can't find either Behemoth, Odin or Svara but when you adjust you field of view then these bosses appear again.

On my previous post where I first encountered Behemoth I had to adjust my field of view so that I can take a screenshot of Behemoth.
This maintenance hopes to address some bugs observed on previous one.

Others speculated that 'Lighting's FATE' would be implemented on this update but I would think otherwise. I think this FATE would be implemented one week before the release of Lighting Returns.

On the famed AFK Timer being implemented on this maintenance. It's about time they finally considered implementing this. This will enable Square Enix to monitor which causes the Server Load that happened previously during launch.

You might have noticed that Character Creation Restriction is slowly being lifted from NA/EU and JP server. Once this AFK timer is implemented it brings light to the start of physical and digital sales of the game.

As for my experience? I haven't had any issues with the game. The story is really great. I have done the Stone Vigil quest and it was amazing. It brought me back to what a Final Fantasy game is about.

I'm looking forward for more events and content on this game. This game is the best. It deserved this second chance.

Once digital and physical sales of the game resume. See you in Eorzea!

News from Lodestone: [Important] Warning Concerning the Security of Your Account

Currently, we have confirmed that a third party is using account names and passwords, thought to be obtained from security breaches of other companys' online services, in attempts to gain unauthorized access to Square Enix accounts.

If you are using the same account name or password as your Square Enix account on other online services, there is a much greater chance that a security breach at any of the other online services could potentially lead to your Square Enix account being compromised.

Additionally, even if you are not using the same account name or password across multiple accounts, if you use repeated strings of character, phone numbers, birthdates, or other information that may be tied to your identity, this may make it possible for individuals to access your account simply by guessing its password.

Therefore, if you are using the same account name or password for your Square Enix account as for your other online accounts, or are using a password that might be easily guessed, we ask that you change your password immediately by going to the following page:

https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/reminder

Also, please note that accounts that are suspected of having been compromised will have their access temporarily restricted. Once login has been restricted, an email notification will be sent to the primary email address registered to the Square Enix account. This email will contain instructions on how to remove the login restriction. Players will be asked to reset their passwords and log in again.

Please visit the following link for more information about login restrictions.

http://support.na.square-enix.com/j/lbna

To further strengthen the security of your Square Enix account, we highly recommend using a Square Enix Security Token to act as an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

A free, downloadable smartphone app is available at the following locations:

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix_software_token

Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/square-enix-software-token/id617970570?mt=8

Physical security tokens are also available for purchase here:

http://www.square-enix.com/na/account/otp/

Should instances of compromised accounts rise in future, there is the possibility we will perform a compulsory password reset across all Square Enix accounts.

We kindly ask for your cooperation in helping us better safeguard your personal information and account information.
