I'm also very eager to playing it. With all the 'solo play all the way' MMOs that have popped in the last 5 or so years, I'm hoping that FF XIV is one in which people will get to group again, not to help 'guildies', not for lewt, but for survival.I didn't realise that the beta sign-up had been open for so long. That looks amazing, totally signing up. I actually like the look of it so far. Graphically, its very good.
