The latest edition of Famitsu Wave recently hit newsstands in Japan, bringing with it a DVD which contains an 8-minute exposé on Square Enix's second stab at the MMO genre, Final Fantasy XIV. The whole video is posted after the break. Fret not -- it sports convenient English subtitles. Here's some of the more titillating excerpts: The game features a reinvented character progression system which does not include experience points or leveling up. The job system from XI will make an appearance, but in a heavily altered form -- an interview with the game's director, Nobuaki Komoto, revealed that the game will place a focus on the weapons players use, explaining that your armaments will determine "the way you play" and "the way you grow." Sounds reminiscent of Final Fantasy IX. (That's a very good thing.) In addition, FFXIV producer Hiromichi Tanaka explained that the game takes place in a new region with a more "modern" feel to it -- the mysterious Eorzea which was mentioned in the trailer. The new world features familiar races (albeit with new names), and plays host to a "deep story," which is told through cut-scenes and quests. For more FFXIV info than you can possibly handle, check the video after the jump. sounds similar to monster hunter no? Race Scans QUOTE Someone translated the text on BG Forums regarding the characters:
"When you make your character, aside from choosing the race, you will also be able to customize their appearance. Head, skin color, hair type etc, there will be multiple factors. Just how exact we will be able to customize their appearance is still unknown, but we mean it in a good way when we say that it seems like it will become a worry to many players." -------------------- |

Ul'Dah is not so bad. The starting experience is just a step above Limsa Lominsa, which is disappointing. But oh man the graphics here are probably the best seen in the game.
I would say Ul'Dah's field area is probably my favorite so far for questing. Open space, great music, awesome graphical scenery. Gridania's field is nice too, but it is more like a maze with narrow spaces. Lot's of rain, forest, and occasional river. Gridania has the most interesting mobs though imo. Limsa Lominsa is bad. It is just hills and rocks, and copy & pasted terrain (though the underground areas are freaking amazing) that is difficult to judge if you can navigate or not. So, if I were to pick up this game. My choice would be Ul'Day. I'm going to probably to pick up this game around Christmas, or so. Pugilist is awesome now with the upped combat speed. My class of choice. Second would be Conjurer, but gaining skills is still stupid with it, and casting spells is still unintuitive. -------------------- |

Found out how to make subligars and oh my god they are even more ridiculous in this game. I'll post some pics when I find out how to take screenshots.
edit: Server went down right after I posted this. I guess I'll grab pics later This post has been edited by Maxx: Sep 9 2010, 07:19 PM |

Figaro It had to be either this or Mysidia. Since Knightsword spoke up first, the choice is made. Figaro. -------------------- |

My pc died on me as I was replacing the thermal paste on the cpu, so I have to wait a bit to hear back from the place I took it in to have it checked out :(
