    UPDATE
    A 16th server, Saronia, has been added.

    Five Six additional servers have been added to the open beta test (and will therefore transfer over when the game is released). There are now 15 16 17 servers total, the "new" ones in bold:

    Besaid
    Bodhum
    Cornelia
    Fabul
    Figaro
    Gysahl
    Istory
    Kashuan
    Lindblum
    Melmond
    Mysidia

    Rabanastre
    Saronia
    Selbina
    Trabia
    Wutai


    No doubt this will cause some people to reevaluate their server decision.

    RECIPES DATABASE

    After a lot of hard work, I am proud to present you with our shiny new Recipes Database where you can submit new recipes, browse current recipes, report erroneous recipes, etc.

    Although improvements will continue to be made, its foundation has been set and we encourage everyone to get involved! For full details on this new feature, how it works and how to submit recipes, please see the following thread:

    http://www.beyondvan...cipes-database/


    35 Alchemist Recipes have already been added so that you can get a feel for how things look/work.

    Here are some sample entries:



    I look forward to working together to build a great resource for everyone.

    Be sure you jot down any new recipes you discover on your travels throughout Eorzea and submit them to our database if we do not yet have it.

    Expect additional features such as this over the following weeks/months/years. ;)

    At this year's CESA Developers Conference in Japan, designers Keiichi Baba and Seiya Ishii offered an in-depth look at the steps that went into the creation of character and equipment models. Their creation process allows them to easily customize a single model's colors and textures, as well as add/remove/adjust certain portions with ease.

    Translation?

    It allows for many variations of the same character/equipment model while simultaneously reducing the amount of data/resources needed to process them.
