Q and A: Battle

Q: What is the difference between "General" and "Battle"?
A: "General" filters all the logs while "Battle" filters only battle-related logs. And probably, when the official service starts, it'd be nice if the number of tags can be increased to show logs you like or there are two windows.

Q: To which content we can arrange the lay out of articles on the screen?
A: Things which have to be shown all the time such as Mini map, HP/MP gauge, and log can be placed freely.

Q: What does the mark next to Target mean?
A: The strength of the enemy. It is like the one you can see from "investigate" in FFXI, but since there are more enemies you to deal with, the strength of the enemy is shown as comparison with your party's strength.

Q and A: Class

Q: Are there weapons seen in FFXI such as double-handed swords and double-handed scythes in FFXIV? If so, to which class those weapons belong?
A: I can't tell you when, but they do exist in FFXIV, too. So, till then, you have to look forward which class they belong.

Q: Class can be changed during the adventure. Are there limits on changing classes?
A: No limits, at the moment. But, maybe there will be.

Q: Can class changed during the battle?
A: There are "passive mode" and "active mode" in FFXIV. Class change is possible only when players are on "passive mode" and out of battling situation.

Q: So, those two modes can be switched freely?
A: Yes. You can change it wherever you like.

Q and A: Beta test

Q: Can we continue same character from the Beta test to the official service?
A: The number of the worlds will be different when the official service starts. So, if there are characters with the same name, names have to be changed.

Q: In Beta test, Windows version and PS3 can play the same world?
A: Separating the world among Windows and PS3 is not planned. There maybe bias of platform according to the time of beta test. However, basically, you can log with the same one account from Windows and PS3 like FFXI.

Q: As for Beta test, are there different worlds according to languages? Are there dictionaries of fixed form sentences?
A: They are not decided yet. By the way, as for alpha test, Japan, Europe and States would have different testing time.
