EDIT3: Can't read them at work? Here's a massive picture of them all. Courtesy of Reddit.

----------------

I'm not going to post them all, because there are way too many.

You can find them on the official forum here:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/t ... atch-Notes

If I spot anything of major note I'll re-quote them here.

EDIT: Uh oh, spotted my first one, lol.

Quote:
*Job quests will be available after the start of official service.

Sorry Kayne/Ridere irl. Dunno if that includes early access or not.

EDIT 2: This patch list is fucking huge, lol.

Quote:
/visor - Open or close helm visors.

Neat.

Quote:
/sea GLA 20-30 "La Noscea"
(Searches for all gladiators in La Noscea between levels 20 and 30.)

Awesome, the search command is finally back.

Quote:
/macroicon [action name]
Displays icon, recast time, help text, and other information regarding the specified action. Can only be used once in the first line of a user macro

Also pretty damn awesome, sounds like you can make your custom macro buttons work like your real action buttons (show MP cost, recast animation, etc).

Quote:
<se.1>～<se.16>
Plays a sound effect when used in party chat.

:O I hope <call4> is in there, lol.

I guess I'll just be unlocking crystals and doing main storyline missions as far as they let me go doing P4. Overall I'm pretty underwhelmed with how P4/Early Release is turning out.

Not sure if these are listed in the super long patch notes, but...

/stuck has been removed and now you must place a GM call if you are really stuck
Housing, like PvP, will not be available until 2.1.

does anyone have any estimates about what time the patch will be available for download tomorrow?

Post subject:  Re: Beta 4 Patch Notes
Yes I would also like to know. EST time please.

Also I was wondering if you could close the visor. So glad they added that.

People bitching about this erks me. This isn't early release. This is an open beta. This is a fucking demo for the masses. This is probably the first time a company has decided to not wipe open beta, and all I see is bitching about how annoyed people are with the limitations.

Post subject:  Re: Beta 4 Patch Notes
I'm now at work so I can't check how my download is going. But I was about a quarter of the way done with no problems.

However, a lot of people online are experiencing problems, as evidenced by posts on reddit. People are saying if you aren't a previous beta player (meaning you start on saturday not friday), you aren't able to download the patch yet. I can't confirm this, but if you have problems that may be why.

Mine's downloading just fine right now. Happily chugging along at 3-4MB/sec or so.

I'm quite surprised the download is only 7GB. I was expecting it to go over 10GB once Mor Dhona, Coerthas, and all the voice acting and stuff were in. I suppose it's possible the game isn't downloading anything past Level 20 while we're still in Phase 4. SE seem pretty paranoid about data miners now.

Opinions suck. Too bad everyone has them :)

It's not a big enough issue to get into an argument over the internet about, or whatever. I just found it odd.

I installed TeamViewer on my Galaxy S3, so I could remote into my computer at home. Shockingly, I'm downloading this thing at 7MB/s right now.

there is apparently a torrent for people who have not been able to download it through normal means, including people who have had account issues related to their registration keys.

Confirmation on a previously speculated issue. Emphasis mine.

Quote:
Transferring Character Data from Version 1.0 (08/15/2013)

Version 1.0 character data will be transferred to FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (hereafter referred to as FFXIV: ARR) starting from beta test phase 4.
This data includes all characters from Version 1.0 as well as the items they possess.
* Please note that some items have been modified or removed to conform with system changes in FFXIV: ARR.


Logging in for the First Time Using Version 1.0 Characters

Starting in beta test phase 4, players logging in with characters from Version 1.0 will be allowed to change their character's appearance.
All aspects can be altered, including race, gender, and name. Please note that changes can only be performed once.
* You cannot select a different World.

Appearance changes made to existing characters during beta test phase 4 will carry over to the release version.
* If you do not change the appearance of your character upon first logging in, you will not be given another opportunity to do so.
* If you should exit the character editing menu before finishing, you are allowed to resume changing your appearance.
* Version 1.0 characters that share the same name may be required to change their name based on the guidelines outlined on the Lodestone.


Legacy Chocobos

Characters who met the requirements of the Legacy Campaign will receive a legacy chocobo whistle via the Mog Delivery Service starting in beta test phase 4.

By using the legacy chocobo whistle, a legacy chocobo will be added under the Mounts section of the Actions and Traits interface. The legacy chocobo can be summoned by setting the icon to your hotbar.

Dang, I cant wait to see my Chocobo and make Talisin jealous.

So if I am getting this right, we have to change our characters tomorrow or never change them again. Right?

Old man Yarr here I come.

I'm gonna stick with Yarr Ifrit too. I think its cool that I imported this name from my FFXI character and that I still use the exact same account as FFXI.
