Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn PS4 Pre-Orders

With the release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the PS4 next week, I know everyone is wondering about the status of the pre-order bonus. Customers that pre-order this game will receive early access, a Cait Doll Sith companion and a Moogle Cap to enhance your in-game experience (early access and DLC unlock token redeemable starting April 11, 2014).
The codes to access this bonus content and the early access began being sent to customers on 4/8/14, and all customers that pre-ordered prior to 4/11/14 should have their codes. Please note that you will only be sent one code which will contain both the early access and the in-game items.
In order to ensure you are able to participate in the full early access, you will want to have your pre-order placed by 4/10/14.
Once you receive your code, you will be able to register it through the PlayStation Store and then enjoy your early access between 4/11/14 and 4/13/14. Once the game is officially released on 4/14/14, you will then be able to access your in-game bonus items.
If you pre-ordered prior to 4/11/14 and have not received your code, please contact me through private message or send a message to Gaming-BBY. Be sure to include the items lised below in your message. Please do not contact both inboxes or send multiple messages as that will only increase the amount of time it will take for us to look into your specific pre-order.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (Collector's Edition) - PlayStation 4

Amazon is carrying it is best buy? I rather buy it from bestbuy. I would love to preorder it so I dont miss out on my copy. Here is the amazon link {Removed per Forum Guidelines}

Hey CalamityXI,
Admittedly, we’re not certain if this title is sold out or not. Considering how limited Collector’s Editions can be, we’re often careful around having items turned on/off for pre-order so we can ensure everyone who pre-orders receives a copy.
I’ve seen BestBuy.com utilize the “Coming Soon” verbiage, as well as “Sold Out” when items are no longer available. I do apologize, as I can see how that could be confusing. However, keep an eye here for any changes, as it's possible we may re-list it for pre-order!

Extreme Lag w/ Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn in Virginia

https://pay.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1l9v4e/i_think_verizon_is_throttling_ff14_just_like_that/
http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1m16es/verizon_isp_users_are_you_lagging/
Ever since September 3rd or 4th, whenever Square Enix took down their own servers for maintenance, there has been excruciating lag throughout the game. It is described as a constant 3-5 second delay causing rubberbands and basically hindering the game unplayable. Other ISP users in my area, such as Cox Communications are not experiencing these problems. There has been multiple posts about this on various websites. I wanted to bring it to the Verizon website to possibly gain some attention. Overall I am very happy with Verizon FiOS. Please help.

Here is some supporting date for this users complaint. I too am having the issue and spent a half hour or more with online tech support today with no comments other than "run this speed test" and "reboot your router".
The problem is obviously not directly on verizon's hardware, but it is someplace in between the Square-Enix servers and the Northern Va route to them.
There are probably 50-100 users alone actively complaining on the Square-Enix forums about issue in the northern va area with FiOS and this game, I'm going to assume the previous users posts highlight them.
The issue is now also coming up on reddit, not just NoVA users. However, the commonality are the TINET.NET routers on hops 8 and 9 in my example.
Verizon, please do anything you can to help resolve. The game provider is so overwhelmed with game launch issues, we're not getting much assistance otherwise.
LOVE my Verizon speed going everywhere else, just not to my FFXIV server...

Extreme Lag for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

I'm in Boston. My internet plan is FiOS 50/25. Ever since December 24th, whenever Square Enix took down their own servers for maintenance, there has been excruciating lag throughout the game. It is described as a constant 3-5 second delay causing rubberbands and basically hindering the game unplayable. It is more terrible in the night. Other ISP users in my area, such as Comcast are not experiencing these problems. I heard about it could be P2P throttling issues. Please help.

DRay, Yeah im getting the same thing, I have been battling with the same thing now for two weeks. I have made multiple calls to Verizon with little successful.
I have had my support ticket closed on me and I have been told the usual speil (give it time it will fix itself) and Verizon has no responsabiliy.beyond the 5th hop.
Sadly there is no relief.
I had a tech out here today who was given a service order to replace the ONT because the Level 2 network engineer didn't want to deal with the issue.
Square will not help you and will point back to your ISP (Verizon), Verizon will not help you with the issue and point towards Square (level 3 specifically in this case.
I welcome anyone with Verizon who actually wants to make a difference to a customer to reach out and work with me to get a ticket logged with your peering network Level 3 to resolve this issue but im not holding my breath.
Your best bet is to find someone elses wifi to jump onto when you're playing FF14.
If you really want to keep using FIOS, you will need to grab a service like WTFast which will allow you to tunnel your traffic via their service around the poor (or overloaded) switch at level 3.
Oh and don't even bother trying to call level 3, they will not help you

Running Final Fantasy XIV on Boot Camp

Hello everyone,
I bought the MacBook Pro 13" from late 2013, and I wanted to play on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on this occasionally. So, I installed Windows 7 thanks to Boot Camp, but when I start the game, after 5 minutes my Mac is very hot, and the ventilators are making a lot of noise, I'm so afraid that the computer crash or burn really, even if I putted the worst resolution for the game, so I leave the game very quickly.
Do I have to update anything? Maybe Boot Camp? Or something else?
Thanks in advance,
Cordially.

I think your MBP 13 is marginal for gaming video performance. It is working very hard to keep up with the games demands. There are not any upgrades for the video hardware. A 15" MBP has a discrete video card available the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M which would perform well.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 for PS4

Hi, I have some questions.
Will Best Buy offer the Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster for the PS4? If so will there be an option to get the preorder bonuses with it?
Also, will Best Buy be selling the guidebooks for Bloodborne and Witcher 3 specifically?
There are no listings I could find online for any of these items but they are offered through other vendors. Thanks in advanced.

Hey AlphaNoodle,
I knew I was forgetting something in my last post...
Since we don't seem to have it available for pre-order yet, we'd be unable to say if a bonus would be offered for the game. What I can say is that there are a few different factors we must take into consideration when offering a bonus for specific purchases, and oftentimes that decision includes the providing vendor or manufacturer. It's certainly a possibility though!

The Best Older Games - Final Fantasy XI

I'm sure all of us can relate to this situation:
So your computer is a bit old. The gerbil inside is starting get a bit slow and long in whiskers, and so you've tallied your bills, your income, and your emergency fund. Then you've created a sixty-page Power Point presentation and presented it your your wife, complete with pie charts and graphs explaining exactly how and why you need a new computer.
It takes a few weeks, but she finally breaks down and agrees. Yes, you may go out and buy a new computer.
You are proud, and u unbeknown to her, you have carefully crafted your plans not to include just a computer, but the hottest, greatest machine in the face of the planet. It is of such superiority that you can classify it but under a single word.
'Sweet.' (with an emphasis on the 'e's)
You get your new machine and set it up. You install all your prerequisites and get ready for an awesome experiance. Except, your wife walks in, and she smiles so sweetly at you and states, 'as long as we have a new machine, you might as well go out and buy a new game, right?'
Naturally, you are suspicious. Yet, when the woman declares free-for-all on the budget, you're not going to argue. After all, you earned it, you should be able to spend it, right? Right? So you go back to the store and spend an hour deciding which game you want, and rush home with the fantastic grin that only gamers are capable of having.
You're excited.
Your wife, however, is sitting at the computer.
"Why honey," she said, all smiles, "Look, my facebook runs faster. I can now farm my grapes in half the time!"
"Great!" You say, annoyed, "When are you going to be done?"
"Oh," she states, wearing a bigger smile then even you had just a moment ago, "It's so fast! Probably not long. I do have six accounts, through, and I wanted to play some Pogo, as well!"
So you sit, and wait, and sit and wait, and soon it becomes obvious what has happened. Your wife has declared YOUR computer as HERS. You attempt to reason with her, and she throws your earlier conversation back at you. Yeah, yeah, family computer. Yes, yes, equal sharing, we can't afford to buy a machine for just one person. Yes.. but when is it my turn?
Never, apparently. You finally give up and acknowledge the fact that your computer time will be those moments when she's at work, and your not, or she's out shopping, and you managed to weasel out of going.
So, you were all excited about PC playing, so your Playstation 3, your XBox 360 and your Wii just isn't going to cut it today. You set up your old machine, thinking - well, at least you can find a GOOD game. A really good game, that will play on this older, less capable machine.
And thus.. you read this...
Final Fantasy XI
Designed by Square Enix, the authors of all the Final Fantasy series, this is the first (but not the last) Final Fantasy that is MMORPG. Which means it's a game played with hundreds of thousands of other players.
Well, it least it was in it's most popular time. Today, you can expect about three thousand people per 'server'.
Final Fantasy XI was at one point #2 behind World of Warcraft, and for good reason. It's a richly engaging online world, who's graphics more then beat World of Warcraft and most other online games without thought - even new, and modern ones. Yet, it requires very little resources to run.
The download is intense, admittedly, but I can attest, having had all sorts of internet connections in the past, that even the slowest 'broadband' speed will suffice. There are even some that still play under dial-up, through, that's pretty rare these days (and not recommended).
The world is rich and engaging, it's really fun, and you can use your PS2 style USB controller with it natively, once enabled in the configuration window. All buttons have function and it really saves you keyboard time, since the game was also authored for the Playstation 2. (It was the first MMORPG console game).
There have been numerous patches released, and everyone in the world is friendly - I would know, I just rejoined!

XBox, Final Fantasy, CIVREV, and other goodies

So, my boyfriend and I finally made the transition to a gamer family when we purchased a (new to us) XBox 360.
I'll be honest, I've never really been that much of a gamer, but now, my boyfriend are fighting over the XBox (where it used to be the computer).
So, I've been playing two games now. Final Fantasy XIII and Civ Rev.
Any thoughts on either games? What do people like or dislike about the games? I'm going to post more after I get back from my lunch break.
Don't take what I say as being absolute. There's always room for improvement.

I've thought the same thing Entropy, especially regarding the characters thus far. The charachter's personalities seem very two dimensional, and don't seem to grow much.
I do have to say, I like the idea of the Crystogenisis system, but I think the actual system leaves a little to be desired. I just wish there was more choices, more growth options for the characters in terms of what they do. I like the various roles so far (I'm LOVING the Sabatuer role), but it has come a long ways from the old days of there being a warrior, white mage, black mage and the like.
Also, I have to admit, visually, it's breathtaking. The colors are deep and the beasts are so impressive. I just wish I had a bigger TV to watch it on (plus, the font of the game is a little small on my 26" screen).
Don't take what I say as being absolute. There's always room for improvement.
