Romier S Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 For those interested, the signups are now available right here: US Beta signups European signups Current issues associated with the beta: As of January 5th, 2006, the following issues and special restrictions exist on the Xbox 360 version of FINAL FANTASY XI. None of the issues or restrictions should inhibit gameplay, but updates will be made during the beta test period to address these issues as best we can. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Special Restrictions (PlayOnline Viewer)Certain characters and fonts specific to the European region cannot be entered in the PlayOnline Viewer beta version. Special Restrictions (FINAL FANTASY XI)Compatibility with the wireless LAN adapter (Xbox 360 peripheral) has not yet been verified for PlayOnline or FINAL FANTASY XI. USB peripherals, excluding the USB mouse and keyboard, are not supported by the PlayOnline/FINAL FANTASY XI beta version. Certain characters and fonts specific to the European region cannot be entered in FINAL FANTASY XI beta version. When using a PAL-50 television, the install screen will be slightly shifted to the top. About the USB Keyboard The numeric keypad cannot be used to enter numbers. The "Num Lock" and "Caps Lock" lights will not turn on. Other Issues The game BGM may not play when riding a chocobo. Temporary logout from FINAL FANTASY XI and the "Vana'diel Tribune" command in the Mog House menu will not be available. Screenshot images will be saved at a 4:3 ratio. In the help desk sub-menu, the "I can't move my character or log out of the game." selection will be unavailable. If you encounter these problems during the beta test period, please select another item in the sub-menu to make the GM call. The character creation screen used during the beta test is temporary, and will be subject to change in the future. The opening movie cannot be viewed in the beta version. The X mark that usually appears next to fish that have been registered on the fish rankings will not appear in the beta version. Also, the beta FAQ goes over some key points. One is that it looks like voice chat will be availble in some form, but they don't go over whether its just private chat, or actual in-game chat. The second part that is of interest is that it looks as though Silver members will be able to participate in the beta. No word on if Silver Live members can access the full game (don't see why not since it's fee based). http://www.playonline.com/betaus/faq.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooter Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I found the manual works if you d/l it from the link Romier posted above. Where am I supposed to be getting the disc from? All I did was give them my e-mail address, which generated an e-mail with the link to the registration codes page. That's it... My brain hurts.
