Last weekend was the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest in Paris. This is my first time attending a game specific event like this. Due to the weather the group I was with had to do some hectic travel rearrangement to get there at all, and we arrived just as the opening keynote and ceremony was over. At least it means no delay to get in and we breezed through security bag check and registration. This is the entrance from the 2nd day. The queue was broken, as I was in a party as DPS, with healer and tank, and it didn't instant-pop. This is the main stage. Seating was tight and it got warm. Think I heard there were 4500 people at this event. Just a few then! This was the area for the special Yojimbo challenge. A preview as it were for future game content. Queues were quite long, can't remember but wouldn't be surprised if it was over an hour. You got around 5 mins to set up the controls, and go in. Most people probably have highly customised their home setups, and there was no way to transfer that. My main is Bard, but I managed to get enough of my skills set up quickly. Had to queue a 2nd time before I got a clear, which got a reward of a sticker. I believe in the past they gave out "I beat..." t-shirts, but not this time. Positions had both controller and keyboard+mouse. Area was sponsored, so PCs were from Alienware, and headsets from Turtle Beach. I didn't pay close attention to any of it as I had to concentrate on the fight, but there was a mechanical keyboard I had no problem with, but tank in my party hated it. Mouse was on a rather small mouse mat which was somewhat challenging. Something I don't know, is if the game defaults to linear mouse, as the systems I used that day all behaved as such. That was my biggest concern, as I hate mouse acceleration and it is one of the 1st things I change when setting up a new install. Similarly this was at the challenge roulette. Spin the wheel to see what you have to do. Only did this once, and we ended up with a relatively easy one. Zurvan X Wind up Cursor. While waiting we were speculating what this was. One mechanic seen in Rabnastre raid was the wind up cursor appearing spinning over your head, and you can only move in the direction it was pointing at the time. Well... it wasn't quite that bad. Keyboard players were asked to map WASD opposite to normal. I don't know what controller players did, although I heard from another team later on they had to hold the controller rotated 180 degrees. As keyboard+mouse, reversed WASD wasn't that bad actually. We could still turn normally using mouse, so in effect I only had to worry about swapping forward/backwards. There was another trick that I didn't use, which is pressing L+R mouse button makes you walk forward, and that was unchanged also. I thought that would be against the spirit of the challenge so didn't do it other than seeing if it worked. Oh, these were not sponsored systems. They were PS4, with a generic membrane keyboard. I found that harder to use as I rely on more travel to palm-press left-ctrl as modifier. Another view of the interior, these are two of the mini-games you could queue up for. At the back is the merchandise area. There was a display, and you can fill out an order form and take it over to pay. They gave you a token which you then take to the collection area to pick up goods. It was busy early on, so they gave out tickets giving you a time slot to queue in, but it eased up in the afternoon and it didn't seem to be enforced after that. Looking the other direction, there is the main stage at the far left. The aetheryte was a good landmark for meeting up with people. First time I met my game wife (he was nice), and later a youtuber I follow. In front of that were more mini-games, and the signing wall where you can leave your mark. Just like in game, you get a chance to hit the cactpot. As part of the stuff you're given is a single ticket, with a chance to earn a 2nd one if you want. No surprise, I didn't get anything here. Concerts were held on both evenings. I didn't know what to expect in either case and was pleasantly surprised in both. The first night was a piano concert by Benyamin Nuss, and vocals in part by Susan Calloway. Soken also took part, with some interesting twists. The 2nd night was The Primals concert pictured above. Yoshi-P did a part, but didn't want to add singer to his job title. I don't do musical events generally. There was an announcement before both saying that no sound or video recording was allowed, but it was obvious there were many ignoring that, and didn't seem to be any enforcement. I only took some random snaps but knew it wasn't worth trying too hard as the phone quality would suck anyway. After the concert was the closing ceremony, where they also got on stage other Square Enix staff. After some words, it was over until Tokyo. Look forward to it. Just for turning up, you get the above loot. A bag, pen, lanyard, water bottle, wrist band, badges and stickers. Not bad. There's also a book (not shown) which had various info, and a section at the back for collecting stamps by participating in events. I got the three physical items, the goobbue patch, korpokkur keyring, and auto-translate magnets. The latter should be interesting to mix with a lolcats set I have already... there was also chance for an extra cactpot ticket but I didn't do enough for that. The staff also randomly appeared on the show floor, so there was some unscheduled signing chances. I got the two foxes, Foxclon, and Koji Fox. I would loved to have got a Yoshi-P and Soken too, but I wasn't in the right place at the right time. On that note, it was certainly an experience. One that almost never happened due to travel chaos and requiring throwing a lot of money at the problem to be there at all. If anything, it would be nice if the queues could be shorter. With 4500 people there, it was never going to be easy. You want to do events? Queue. Food? Queue. Toilets? Queue. DPS simulator 2019. I also felt bad at one point, where Ayumi Namae was given another slot after the reveals in the Live Letter. She had to follow the FFXV crossover and other major reveals, and the pace change was too much. Lots of people left the stage area to go do other things then as time was limited. Thankfully they don't do these too often, about once every two years in each region. I might have recovered by the next one...

Hey guys, recently my server connection, keyboard, mouse and rgb mousepad have been dropping randomly while in a dungeon online in FFXIV. Seems to only happen in this situation. I have made sure everything is turned to high performance and unchecked power management in device manager. I've tried different ports to no avail. This happens usually 2 to 3 time a night in a 12 hour gaming session for about a few weeks now. Fresh windows install since last week. I'm a hair from getting a new mobo at this point. Ryzen 2700x Rtx 2070 fe Asus b450-f mobo 16gb balistex 2666 mhz ram Evga supernova 850 watt psi Ac 1700 nighthawk usb wifi adapter

So the issue I'm having is when playing ONLY FFXIV the controller will disconnect after a few seconds, but the trackpad in the middle will still work as a mouse. This works whether connected via bluetooth, wired, etc. The controller works perfectly fine in anything else, but in this game specifically it has this problem. I thought about posting this on the ffxiv forums but I feel like you guys are probably much more tech savvy and may know how to fix this? Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated!

This is probably better posted on a dedicated forum for the game, but I'm not a member of any... I've been playing for somewhat over 2 years. Up to about 2 weeks ago, I was happy enough just doing normal/hard mode stuff. Then my game wife roped me in to help out with her fc and fill up the party. It started easy enough. The focus then was to farm HW EX mounts unsync. Then it escalated to more current content. Lakshmi EX and Susano EX melted pretty fast. I had done Susano EX once before, and it seemed a lot easier this time around. Gear has improved a lot since it came out which I think is a large contributor in itself. Byakko EX took a little learning but wasn't difficult. Tsukuyomi EX turned it up a notch again but we got through. The challenge really started with Suzaku EX. This took several hours of an evening/night but we got a clear eventually. Even now, I can't guarantee I'll make it through the phoenix/rune phase without getting hit, but am managing to keep deaths to a minimum. Since I was hanging around with the fc so much, I switched and joined them at that point. My existing fc was IRL friends and they're more into RP which I'm not really interested in. Last night, they asked if I wanted to do Suzaku EX again, no thanks. Once was enough. Fortunately it was a busy and laid back enough fc there wasn't a shortage of people to do it at the time. When they were done with that, I was asked to join O9S. As there was talk about doing this before, I had looked up a guide on youtube previously for a taste, but didn't go in depth. Looked like a lot of pain, and I wasn't sure I could be bothered to learn that. I joined anyway. My first Savage level encounter... I was almost going in blind. I don't know what level of experience others had, but I was certainly the noob on this run. They tried to describe mechanics to me, but it was more confusing than the video guide I saw before so we moved onto learning by doing. There were a lot of wipes, but over time I got used to the mechanics, and once they were down, it wasn't that bad. Of course, people are people and will make mistakes. It was late, people were tiered. I felt myself losing concentration and started to make more mistakes too... we hit enrage a couple of times but failed to kill in time. Felt like we were running out of time, we were getting worse not better at this point with little mistakes creeping in. Do or do not, there is no try. I made a mistake or two on the final run, but fortunately not enough to affect and got a clear! Hurrah! The buzz persisted and although late, I couldn't sleep. There's now a hole going down to infinity where the primary attack button was on my keyboard. Intense, but a challenge. I'm still not sure that I want to do the high end stuff. I knew it wasn't a case of if I was able to do it, but more a matter if I can be bothered to do it. Do it once, move on. Farming current content is a bit of a stretch for my motivation. And that's the question I guess, how much of this is ability, how much is motivation, the drive to want to do it? I don't rate myself as a top tier player. I've always aimed for "good enough". Clear it once, move onto the next thing. I can learn things, but I'm not a natural. For example, I was watching Mr Happy do Tsukuyomi EX blind for first time, he picks up new mechanics quickly. I would be standing there, going WTF shortly before disappearing in a sea of light and numbers. Where next? O10S is an obvious progression and I haven't even started to look at that yet. Shinryu EX was also talked about so may still be on the radar. My joke about trying uwu went down better than expected... but then there's patch 4.5 next week and more content! Busy times ahead.

Final Fantasy XIV has been with me since 2.0b and I hated it on the PS3 and it's controller. It was only on the PC that I fell in the love with the game and being able to tie skills to every button on my Naga's 12 extra buttons. I do play on PS4 but I struggle with the cross hotbar. There's extra button presses for me changing between skills, and the fact I have to hold R2 or L2 with everything is a pain in my eyes. Still, nothing beats doing roulettes as a White Mage whilst kicking back on the sofa, controller in hand. What about you? What's your FFXIV controller preference, and why?

For those who don't know much or anything about Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) it is a cross-platform MMO. PC, PS4, and PS3 users can all play together in a very story/lore heavy universe. Recently the first major expansion, Heavensward, was released which brought a new race, jobs, and content. There is a lot of things to explore and plenty of variety. I currently play on the Malboro server and am looking for players to join my Free Company (guild). We are very small (only 3 active people) but would love more! If you are looking at getting into the game you can play the demo which allows a character to reach level 20 (60 is current max). If you purchase the game you can continue from your demo character and we can get you a recruitment code, which comes with some bonus items (including a headpiece with 20% experience boost for classes under level 25). If you have any question about the game feel free to talk to me either here or in-game (Morwen Nuru or Morwen Ainatar)!

Hey guys, I am looking for people who are planning to start a subscription in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REAL REBORN to recruit them as friends for the Friend Recruiting Campaign, and you'll get some nifty items upon registering the Recruitment Code on your Account (including the Friendship Circlet +20% exp for levels below 25). Let me know if you are interested!

Hi there, I've been researching gaming laptops for the past little while, but given all the options and (my reasonably limited knowledge of computer specs :blush:), I'm still stuck between a few options. I'm looking for a laptop that can run heavily modded rpgs: specifically Skyrim, as well as mmorpgs (Wow, ESO, FFXIV, etc.) at ~60fps+. The only non-gaming thing I'm looking to use it for would be coding and watching youtube videos, and ideally it would cost me no more than $2500 USD. What I've narrowed it down to so far is: -Razer Blade 2015 14" http://www.razerzone.com/ca-en/store/razer-blade-2014 -and the Alienware 15 http://www.dell.com/ca/p/alienware-15-r2/pd both of which seem to run Skyrim, again - my main priority, at 60fps and can handle the graphics mods that I want for it... or so the youtubers whom I have contacted assure me. I'm 100% open to other suggestions, I've been iffy about the Origin Eon15-X as well, however the colors seem drowned out to me and the MSI models I compared are too similar to the razer blade. One last thing, I was planning on getting the 512GB Razer Blade, but I don't know if the 256GB would be enough for me. I was also indecisive regarding the Alienware 15, since I can't decide whether to go with the 8GB one with the i7 processor, or the 16GB one with the NVIDIA GTX 980M & 4GB GDDR5. Sorry, haha, all my knowledge about specs has been acquired in the past two days so I'm not entirely sure what would be enough. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance!

Hello. Anyone here play FFXIV? Cerberus server?

Just got FFXIV and was wondering if there was anybody who plays on LTT that knows of good servers, currently have a lvl 6 on Hyperion (NA), or would like to link up.

Hey! Recently started playing FFXIV with a friend of mine. This is my first actual investment into an MMO (Where i actually get involved in the community) and am looking for others who would like to play with us! EDIT: Server is Diablos
