Oh right, I think I might have blocked a lot of FF8 from my memory. Spoony's multi-part FF8 review was a good laugh though.

As I mentioned the other day, we don't have to all go on the same server in retail, and we'll have plenty more time to pick before then. So I say we just jump on whatever server we agree to first (which is looking like Trabia), and worry about actually "picking" one later.

Yeah Yarr, I got a key.

Getting into the SE Account system to actually register it though is proving to be just as difficult.

I find it weird that it even gives you a key. I mean, you have to log in to your Square Enix account to apply, so why the heck doesn't it just automatically register the open beta onto the account you just signed in with?

Why do i need to log in, get a key in my email, and then log back into the exact same system to enter the key it just gave me?

Who designs this stuff. He needs firing.

Hmm for some reason a friend of mine with an iphone was able to breeze through all the beta registration without any issue. He got his and my key registered in less than 3 minutes. Maybe if you're having trouble, try loading the pages on a cell phone? I have no idea why this works better.

Hey there are beta patch notes lying around somewhere, I'm finding some choice quotes around in places.

Quote:
- Players can now save data for characters they've created to their hard drive and apply the data later to the creation of a new character.

- Keyboard Settings has been added under Configuration.

The emote "lounge" has been added.
 Also, the interaction "sit" has been added, which allows players to sit on nearby chairs, benches, etc.

Players will now need to wait at least ten minutes before being able to restore HP and MP again at an aetheryte crystal.




probably more around

I still can't get a key. The page after you click the app button is just utterly broken. Going to go cry and watch hgtv while eating ice cream.

lol, SE never seem to know what they're doing. Though I bet this is all stuff that just keeps getting lost in translation from the JP stuff.

So now instead apply at http://member.square-enix.com/na/ ? Still takes a hell of a long time to load even their main site.
