What's peoples take on this game so far, considering people have delved into the beta? I've been reading that the game seems fairly incomplete and unpolished in certain areas. Meaning the game needs a longer delay.

I've been reading that the game seems fairly incomplete and unpolished in certain areas. Meaning the game needs a longer delay. It is by far the most stable and complete beta I've ever played. Almost all of the complaints stem from either not understanding how the game works or about things that will be implemented by launch or shortly after. The way I see it if you liked FFXI, you'll love FFXIV. No matter how much SE says they want to cater to a broader audience, it still fills the hardcore 'spergin niche that FFXI carved out. I actually had to cut myself off from playing open beta because I wasted my entire long weekend solely experimenting with crafting and discovering recipes that aren't on any of the database sites. I just need to find out how to make one more thing to corner the acton market! |

Okay so here's the plan.
I decided I'm gonna get the game, not becuase I liked 11, I actually hated 11. But because it's fun dicking around with you guys. We're gonna start a Galka clan or Rygadyn whatever the hell they called. The guild is gonna be Called NWA. We all take the first names of Westcoast Rappers and use Chocaboo as our last names. Crush called Tupac Chocaboo Tanshin called Snoop Chocaboo I'm going with Icecube Chocaboo Remember, only Galkas allowed! -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.

I have it downloaded. But, I speak of that as a criticisms to Square. They let it go far too long without fixing it.
BTW Gridania is 10000000000000x better than Limsa Lominsa. Talk about unevenness. The intro for Gridania so much more entertaining too. And you get to see Moogles! -------------------- |

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. -------------------- |
