I WAS going to grind to 45 GLA to get all the Lightning gear, but instead I preoccupied myself with rushing out for that stoopid deviantART contest that I probably won't finish in time anyway

I haven't been on for a bit because Lightning Returns, but I did get all the Lightning stuff the first time around. The equipment isn't too bad and will easily help you through the lower level dungeons.

So the PS4 beta is now out. Has anyone joined up? It's weird, as I had to actually download this from the actual SEN site and get it downloaded to my PS4. To do this, just:
1. Sign into the site.
2. Add the item to your basket.
3. Proceed to checkout and confirm purchase.
4. Select download to your PS4.
5. Then it's added to your PS4 downloads.
It sounds simple, but it still doesn't explain why it's not on the PS Store as it was openly advertised. :/

2 minutes ago I just got us up to Rank 7, it makes the loudest booming fanfare ever
Unlocked Crest Expansion, I don't know what that does
That might be the one where our crest appears on armour and stuff? Or does that already happen?
I really need to play this game again. Waiting for the PS4 version to come out. I played the last beta but you had to create a new character and I quickly lost interest, I want to dive back into my character. Not quite finished with him yet.

My 60-day pass recently ran out, but I do intend on getting a new one when I can. The PS4 version looks flawless and I'll be hopping onto that one as soon as I'm done with the PS3 one.

Bump-raga!
Okay, hooked up with some people, got the egg harness. I'm still available if anybody wants to do it, but it ends tomorrow at 8am (I guess EST). It goes pretty quick though.
There's 4 chapters, 2 people are required for the first 3, and 4 people are required for the 4th.

Crafting is easy, it's just incredibly time consuming. 
In fact, I've been spending the past few months doing nothing but crafting in the game, just because I want to max out everything. (I was tired of buying everything and losing money, plus I want to be maxed out for the company and start building a cash wad for us.)
What I've learned, no matter which one you want to start with:
-Do the main missions for your craft first. You'll eventually hit a mission lock that forces you to grind on your own until you reach the next required level (usually lvl 5, 10, 15, etc.). Also, unless the quest requires a High Quality item, don't waste your time. Just craft it and send it in.
-Then it's time to hit the fieldcraft levequests. As skill allows, this is where you want to strive making HQ items, because they double your EXP per finished quest. This jumps your levels considerably.
Usually in the 15-25 fieldcraft quests you can grind really easy, because they'll ask for 3 of something to deliver, and will continue to ask for more if you have some. This usually continues about 4 times in total, so you can just keeping crafting the same thing without having to run back to the levequest booth over and over to accept missions.
-Also note: If you have a few trades already leveled (particularly weaver, leatherworker, and goldsmith) you can probably make your own clothes. You definitely want to make HQ ones, and materia meld them when you can for more stats. This way, you really don't need to accept clothes as your optional reward at the end of main quests and can just accept the money reward (unless you want something untradeable, but that rarely comes up in crafting missions).
EDIT:
-Forgot to mention, make sure your Disciples of the Land jobs are leveled enough first (miner, botanist, fisher), usually between 15-30. Otherwise it forces you to buy material from the shops and burns money really quickly. It also gives you a chance to start digging for HQ material to work with.
They can be leveled in the same way by using main quests and fieldquests, but after working in the land classes over time, they end up grinding themselves.
EDIT:
-I would level up the leatherworker job first. It has the "Waste Not Want Not" ability, which can transfer to your other crafting jobs. It subdivides 2 of your durability turns into 4, but actually ends up giving you an extra 5 turns in total if you time it right. It's the best ability in crafting IMO.
-When making HQ items, always watch the "Normal/good/poor/excellent" status in the bottom left corner of the crafting menu. It's the roulette wheel of crafting, and lets you determine when to use a touch action to boost quality percentage (HQ.) Sometimes you're forced to give up a chance, but if you ever hit Good or Excellent and you can use a touch action, do it. The percentage will climb (tremendously with Excellent.)

So I finally made the jump from PS3 to PS4, as Marcus told me the trophy list is carried over both platforms. And that means there's one platinum overall, not two. Consider me back on the servers from today!
Lex, will you be getting back online soon? We're going to need something done with FC.
Until Watch Dogs next Tuesday, haha.

Still plowing through crafting, everything's just about at lvl 30. This really does take forever. 
Just a heads up, everybody needs to take a peek into the game if they haven't. I've been promoted to Soldier 1st, and the top spot (Kalm Traveller) has slipped from both Lex and Anea Oaks (Satsu?). Square Enix has a very short window for absences it seems. :\
Like I said, I'm good with crafting for the team, but not leading.
