I am planning on picking up the LE and getting the head start. For those of you doing the same, do you guys want to start up a linkshell?  
 
I'm playing the open beta like crazy but no one is social at all. People just go about and do their own thing. The one thing I really miss from FFXI was the community and the teamwork required to form a great party. The satisfaction that came from that was awesome but so far I'm not feeling that from this game. 
 
I want to get a bunch of like-minded people together and have some fun like the old days of FFXI. And I thought I would start here with the GB community since most of the duders here are mature. So, anyone down?

yep but I do live in new zealand which means the times I'll be on might not be anything close ot other people =/

I was interested for a whole 15 minutes and then realised "wait its a friggin mmo, I dont have enough time on my hands as it is"

    Im getting the CE on the 22nd. Im really enjoying my time with it. The menus are getting better and they seem to willing to change things around for the fans..so im going to pick it up.

I probably will check out the PS3 version.  Also that gives it time to fix bugs from the initial PC launch.

I'll probably be getting it, we should pick a server to make a Giant Bomb LS on.  I'll probably have to buy the Japanese client though, cause I'm living in Japan and there seems to be no digital options of purchasing for me to get the US client.  Good way to practice my Japanese, I guess ><

I really wish I had a bit more time on my hands to actually play the beta but regardless I'm going to give it a try and see how it ends up. Quite excited about it as the release draws closer.

After playing a bit more of the beta,I have been on both sides of the fence lately about whether or not to get this game. I really wanted to give this game a chance since I loved FFXI but I'm not really feeling it at all. It's probaby because I've played way too many MMOs, so I might not pick this one up after all.   
 
Don't let me discourage you guys, though, in getting duders to play together with. Good luck and enjoy the game when it's out.
 

I am getting CE on the 22nd,  will be playing on Figaro server with some friends.

Hmm, I won't have the time to play this the way I play FF11 back in 06, but sure, if there are enough duders joining the game, I'll be down with it! Played the closed beta for a while, didn't really got into it because of other games coming out.  
 
Also, still waiting for the payment options. I hope it's not CC only this time because I don't really like dealing with CC.

ill get it once it's on ps3

Will be there on the 22nd. Still undecided on which race and server to play on.

I was so excited for this game but all the bad buzz left a bad taste in my mouth and I lost all interest.

Not I said the walrus. I then echoed him.

I usually don't try mmo's at launch, I give them a little time to get a foothold.

i Really want to play it but i do not have enough free time to play an MMO. Plus i dont have enough free time to make it worth paying 15 bucks a month to play it.

p.s. is it to late to get into the beta?

I'll probably get it after I get my new graphics card, it looks really god, but I don't know wither I could stand having two mmo's in my life (wow being the other) and from what i've seen so far FFXIV doesn't seem like a wow killer to me

" @tunaburn: The game is already out, so yes too late to get into the beta, but you could buy the game. "

" @tunaburn: Well, there IS a benchmark you could download to see how it'll run.  But that doesn't give you a demo to play, that is true. "
