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." --------------------  |

Got new motherboard installed last night and my computer lives again, got my CE on my lunch break, now just waiting for work to end, so I can go install and stay in patching land for the night.

Just got my copy. My new PC should be in by the end of the week. You'll see me as "Dominath" or "Deejaylate".

Patching is surprisingly quick and painless. If you really want to save time you can download the patches from kazicht's link while you are installing. |

I like that they are using Ultimate Game Cards for sub payment, and have multiple pricing to choose from. Makes it easy if you just want to jump in casually for a couple months, like I plan to do, without having a credit card on file.
