I'm pretty doubtful. It seems like they're gonna be giving the codes away to weeaboos. ie: not us.

Apparently the invites have only been sent to people who are currently FFXI players, and they say it's an invite to the "alpha". It's ambiguous as to whether the closed beta on the 11th is the alpha they mention in the emails, or if everyone else who applied but is not a FFXI player can still get in to whatever is happening on the 11th.
The email says: "You will be participating in the Alpha Test, which will be taking place prior to the launch of the Beta Test". A lot of people are taking this to mean that the thing on the 11th is the alpha test, and the beta won't be happening for quite some time after that, since having an alpha for one week and then rolling out a beta seems a bit odd. I guess we'll find out. Alisha get back on FFXI and hit level 99 so you can give us impressions on 14. TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.

That level cap raise seems really stupid. Its like they're saying "fuck any sort of balance we had before, go nuts guys. It's over."

Apparently if you buy the PS3 version of FF13, you get a chance to get into the 14 beta.

this url has a boat load of pics
http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1232830_1124.html heres a translation someone posted as well. QUOTE Member * View Profile Personal Message (Offline) Ignore Re: FFXIV Thread « Reply #33 on: Today at 12:22:09 AM » Reply with quote Being nitpicky, but the sky looks kinda crappy in that shot, and the foliage doesn't feel much improved compared to FFXI. Might be the angle though, and it would probably look a lot better in motion. I'll give my attempt at a rough translation of some of it for those of you who can't wait. Opens with short introduction about SE's new MMO, FFXIV, and this is a class breakdown. Gladiator A flexible class capable of wielding swords of all types. With a shield, it may act as a tank. With a light sword it can act as a fast striker. It can adapt to many situations. Equipment introduction includes a curved scimitar and a small-sized buckler. The third picture looks to be a stance selection...IE Warrior from WoW. Abilities Sword's Cheer(?): Attack before the enemy, provoking it and encouraging it to attack the user. Cover: Defend the party member behind you. Rampart: Focus on defense over your blade, ups both physical and magical defense. Aegis Boon: After blocking with a shield, the damage can be converted into HP recovery. Weapon Skills Phalanx: After a block, strike quickly from behind your shield, angering the enemy. Red Lotus: A flaming strike with your sword. Shield Bash: Damage + Interrupt Spin Stroke: Deals more damage if you have aggro Circle Slash: AoE attack Followed by commentary by development team, who all basically say that the class if focused on being balanced in both attack and defense, will be often asked to tank for parties, but can also switch between a stabbing and slashing type attack pattern to add versatility in DPS. Lancer Capable of using spears of all kinds, as well as javelins to attack from a distance. Equipment shows two types of spears, one of riding and one for normal use(?) Third picture shows that you can attack while out of the enemy's range, as well as attack multiple weak enemies. Abilities: Inspire: Erect a spear with a flag, increasing morale (party members attacking the enemy gain TP) Ferocity: Sacrifice HP to deal massive damage Focus: Reduce own HP to up TP Collusion(?): Attack from behind a party member to trick the enemy into thinking he attacked (IE Trick attack from FFXI) Dragon Sword: Push the enemy with a spear, lowering evasion and draining HP. Weapon Skill: Overrun: Spear lunge, appears to allow the PC to charge forward colliding into the enemy and starting the battle with extra TP Feint: Perform a feint, lowering evasion and attacking immediately with 100% accuracy Leg Sweep: Stops movements of enemies in front of the user, ineffective on flying enemies Moon Lance: Thrusts spear, lowers enemy TP gain Skewer: Seems to attack multiple enemies and slow down ground enemy movement Developers say it is a class that is half attacker, half support class. It is a class that must focus on the positioning of others during battle as well as being mindful of what abilities are used. It appears to be a mish-mash of SAM, THF, and DRG from FFXI. Will continue in a bit. Oh well curse you Elmer. Given that Elmer's translation doesn't seem to include the abiltiies, I'll go ahead and do that. Pugilist Ability: Whistle: Gain attention of enemy Blindside: Larger damage from behind enemy Chakra: Reduce TP to gain HP Steal: Steals item (herp derp) Phase Step: Up evasion WS: Jarring Strike: Appears to be Hamedo from FFT. Ups aggro. Relentless Strike: Attack weak point, repeated use lowers critical strike. Haymaker: Dodge and attack Tackle: Charge Earthen Slash: Hit ground for Earth damage around Pugilist, ineffective on flying Marauder Ability: Bloodbath: High critical strike on next attack Defender: Attack-, Defense+ Disorient: Lower enemy evasion Invincible Charge: Movement is possible even if hit with restricting magic WS: Skill Thunder: Damage, AoE larger if charged Log split: Effective against plantoids Fracture: After being hit, attack and seal enemy WS Brandish: AoE attack Ion Tempest: Donut-shaped attack around user with wind-type damage Archer Ability: Replenish: Attack with several arrows at once Chameleon: Disappear Stride: Higher movement speed Retrieval: Lower HP, recover arrows Hawkeye: Next attack has high accuracy WS: Shadowbind: Bind enemy in place Wide Volley: AoE attack Quick Knock: Fan shaped AoE Feathered arrow: Remove enemy's buff Shrieker: Make enemy flee Conjurer Ability: ???: Longer cast time, higher damage Trance Chant: Magic cannot be interrupted Spirit Bind: Bind caster in place(?), lowers MP costs Roaming Soul: Casting possible while walking (Thank you SE) Purge: Recover status of party and enemies to normal WS: Fire: Fire damage in area of effect Cure: Heals party members in area of effect Protect: Do I really need to explain this Shock Spikes: Enemies that hit you take thunder damage and get stunned Frost: Causes ice slip damage in area of effect Conjurer Ability Blood Ritual: Reduce own HP, up magic damage Thorns: Return damage done to caster back to attacker Dark Seal: Ups magic accuracy Initiation: Party members gain your buffs Paradigm Shift: In exchange for spell distance, AoE is enlarged WS: Drain: Drain HP Gravity: Slow movement Sacrifice: Reduce own HP, heal other's HP Siphon-Magi: Drain MP from enemy that cannot move Absorb-Accuracy: Lower enemy's accuracy and ups yours more good stuff http://ffxiv.zam.com/story.html?story=21825 -------------------- |
