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?

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."

So its almost the big day, huh?

To those that are still playing the beta, does it feel like the game is ready to go LIVE?

And to everyone planning on jumping in, are you ready to be there on wednesday, or on the 28th? I won't be able to make the early launch, but I should be good by the normal one.

The game has been getting smoothed out and cleaned up with each patch they release, but I'm pretty confident that the first month is gonna be a struggle while they iron out more and more kinks and upgrading their systems to support the live community. I feel like this is gonna be one of those games (much like how FF11 was) that you'll have to stick with it for a while through the bad times before it really starts to shine. The game definitely has a lot going for it design wise, it's gonna be the technical aspects that need working out as the game progresses. Again, I'll be there on Weds - probably playing some other game while fighting for a chance to download gigatons of patches.

I will say this though, I definitely don't feel like I'm playing a WoW clone, which is good - but also bad at the same time.
