Yay yay yay!  I registered my beta code on July 16th, so I'm in for Friday!

How about some official Phase 4 patch notes to go with that news?   http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/threads/98689-Beta-Test-Phase-4-Patch-Notes?p=1211637#post1211637

Some highlights:

  • During phase 4, characters carried over from Version 1.0 above level 25 can form a free company. (See thread for how-to instructions.)
  • The level 20 content cap will be lifted for Early Access
  • FC-wide bonuses will be available to be unlocked.  Stuff like XP bonuses, gil-savers and crafting bonuses.

 

Patch notes look at what has changed from Phase 3.  An alternative to see what we'll be able to play with this weekend is Phase 4 Scope: http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/threads/98685-Scope-of-Beta-Test-Phase-4

Some highlights:

  • Personal chocobos confirmed!
  • Only characters above level 30 transferred from Version 1.0 can participate in the PVP test "Wolves Den"

There's LOTS more in both of these threads-- please give these a read.

\( ^.^)/

From patch notes:

  • After unlocking a second battle class, players will receive an experience point bonus known as the Armoury bonus when slaying enemies and participating in FATE. This bonus is only applicable to classes other than your highest level battle class.

I don't see level 50 mentioned here at all -- this is GREAT news for leveling those other classes!

LOL Natch.  No don't make me make a 5th toon.  I've done 4 now and did some hair highlight tweaking on the one from beta 3 I saved.  Realized I forgot highlights, but they are subtle!

EDIT:  After reading the patch notes I see they are also working with Microsoft for that update on July 11th that made a lot of us only see half the screen of the videos that occurred.  So at some point this will be corrected, but no ETA as of yet.  It's the only major issue I had with the game for the last Beta 3 weekend.

So... they are adding the ability to customize the appearance of your retainers.  Here's one of mine: "El Zorrino".  He's a smarmy little bugger.

That's the best thing I've read since hearing about addons. This effectively eliminates my need for a 2nd toon!

I had many yays when I saw this - glad you can play with us on the 16th now Shmi!  Also in the yay department was the fact that we can create the FC right from the start, and that legacy toons can be renamed and change appearance at the beginning of phase 4. The xp news is also yayness.

Players in possession of the goobbue horn, which is no longer obtainable as of patch 1.23a, will retain the ability to summon the goobbue mount. The mount will remain unobtainable in FFXIV: ARR.

 

AWESOOOME!
