This week's Hot Threads:

SE should take a page from Blizzard's playbook concerning 14

If you've played FFXI for any extended period of time, you've no doubt had at least a little frustration trying to update your client at least once. Should Square Enix be more open with the distribution of the updates for FFXIV? Maybe let other sites host the updates in addition to offering them through the game client itself? What about a torrent type distribution method?

Look out World of Warcraft PTR players - Fony is on the loose! The second episode of The BFF Report's sneak peek of WoW's Patch 3.3 is now live, and the hilarity only continues as Fony chronicles his escapades through Icecrown Citadel.

So what's in store for viewers in this episode?

Three words: Pit of Saron. Delving into the next five-player dungeon on his tour, Fony takes a crack at Forgemaster Garfrost, Krick and Ick, and Scourgelord Tyrannus. Last but not least, Fony takes a crack at a gunship battle... but things don't go quite as planned.

犬耳家の親族, a fansite dedicated to Nobuo Uematsu's music company, Dog Ear Records, has released a DVD to its members that gave a small look inside the studio where the main theme for Final Fantasy XIV is being recorded. Recently, Square Enix announced the vocal artist for Final Fantasy XIII's main theme, but all the DVD appears to reveal is about FFXIV's grand motif is that the artist is foreign.

It was stated in an interview that the most vital points of FFXIV's story would have spoken dialogue, but only in English for all regions. This would seem to indicate the main theme will be sung in English as well, but there is no confirmation yet as to whether there will be versions sung in other languages.

This week's Hot Thread:

Things from previous FF's that you'd like to see in XIV.

We've had a plethora of threads regarding things in FFXI that player do and don't want to see in FFXIV. What about other games in the series? From Final Fantasy staples like Chocobos, Airships, and Cid, to characters like Cait Sith, Alexander, Omega, and Ultima, Final Fantasy XI definately takes from other games in the series. What elements from previous Final Fantasy titles would you like to see in Final Fantasy XIV?

PL - Power Leveling - your thoughts

This thread is still alive and kicking, so we're revisiting it this week. Does powerleveling produce players who don't know how to play their character? In Final Fantasy XI, it was rather difficult to power level other players in the same manner that it can be done in other games. Should Final Fantasy XIV be the same way?

FF14 - Slow and steady please!

Another Hot Thread Thursday repeat. Is playing an MMORPG about getting to the max level as fast as possible or taking it slow and enjoying the trip there?

Just to get everyone on the same page:

• Early copies of Final Fantasy XIII will contain a "Campaign Code" for use with Final Fantasy XIV
• This code will allow you to receive a "secret in-game item"
• To activate the code, you must purchase and register a copy of Final Fantasy XIV

Glass half full: Foreign players will be getting a separate campaign in their FFXIII copies?
