And best of all no more shitty 360 messing up the game servers ha. Ps3 and PC are combined on the servers also making it the best cross platform game ever besides FFXI

back on topic I'm reluctant to get this game out of spite for what it is

if I am not mistaken, a few years ago Squenix was planning on making an MMO that surprise! was not Final Fantasy, it was its own thing. Due to poor sales of TWEWY within Japan, Squenix decided to stop making new things and just cash-cow existing franchises (I'm guessing Nier was too far into development to remodel)

next thing I know "hey FF14 is an MMO" hmm I wonder what happened to that other one

What kills me is that they didnt merge the XI game into this one. I was hoping at least some kind of story line would go along with it but then again FFXI was a huge ass game with very addictive quests with their own stories. But using the same character models but different names for them kinda confused me there.

Considered it until I saw gameplay videos. It's hard to even call it gameplay.

oh wow I just looked at some trailers/screenshots. It's a remake of FFXI? I mean, I enjoyed FFXI, but it wasn't because of the game =|

They are using the same models etc but gameplay is totaly differnt from xi. The battle system and everything has been redone but things like chocobos elvaans tarus mithras etc are still in the game just renamed

Confusion for the sake of confusion. Being different for the sake of being different.

Hate that shit.

Well ofcourse it's an MMORPG

Anyways i'd definitly like to try this out. I wasn't really a fan of the FF MMO's though.

Maybe I will try it after all.

TWEWY was better than the last 3 FF+ FF spinoffs IMO
My friend is getting it anyway, so I might try it and judge it then.

I'm in the closed beta

I mean okay, WoW was kinda boring in beta too and so was Vanguard but holy shit this is just ridiculous

For some reason I highly doubt this. Do you even have a subscription to XI?

Never played XI since I heard it was a sack of shit from some old guildies who ran off to play it

Like I'd lie about this shit, lol

People are allowed to formulate opinions, silentkiller.

Despite the fact that a few people have said that it's mad boring, I still want to try this out. At least give it a shot before I dismiss it.

MMOs are only as good as the community in them

I mean the gameplay itself does have some bearing too but it's pretty negligeable

Speaking of MMO, I am looking forward to Vindictus and Dragon Nest.

It's not "wait 30 seconds or type /commandIforgot" any more?

wait it never was wait 30 seconds you just type a command to respawn

don't remember what that command is though

The controls are pretty hard, especially when i can't find the tutorial (if there even is one?)

When i died i just clicked everywhere, eventually i spawned again but weakened. After a while i logged out, gonna try it again when i have some more energy to run through this shit.

this is bullshit.

I finally managed to register for beta, the site was confusing, and once I installed it didn't work. GG.

I heard the game sucks though.

They should have never had any beta phases for this game. I mean it kind of works against your goal of getting as many people as possible to buy it before they realize it's horrible and quit.

I get the feeling FFXIV is like FFXI, aka japanese, aka merciless

you need to organize and get your shit straight if you want to make it past level 10

Please no more dissapointments.. ._.
After X FF is going so damn down.They forgot the basics about telling a badass story...
But I also think gamers expectations are too big at the moment.They just placed the bar too high

So I just got done playing it for the first time...

All you do is walk around. Combat is rock/scissors, there is no paper. The UI is horrible. Even something as important as how you level is flawed in that healers get no class experience for healing. It seems like the only people who like this game are graphics whores/diehard fanboys/"it's only in beta" people.

There's also a lot of users playing it because of how shitty it is.

Ditto.

You'd think the people at Square Enix would think to make it work for all versions of Windows 7, seeing that those with the newer OS's will in most cases have the better computers. It seems like all my friends stuck on Vista got on fine, and all three of my friends with Windows 7 x64 ran into the same problems. Congratulations. You have proven that Fail game works on Fail OS, E-mail me when you get a Faildapter running.

I ended up getting this anyway, Physical Level 12, Marauder Rank 10, the battle seems better than XI, there are some long walks, but there is a teleport option costing some points which I think regenerate daily. The is a limit on how many quests (levequests) you can take in 48 hours, but they are fun. Worst thing is market wards, I really miss the old bazaar where you can find exactly what you are looking for, and know how much is the sale price for X item, still stuck with half of my starter's equipments.
My computer (quad 2.2ghz GTX260) can run the game on maximum settings but it is very laggish so I keep it around medium.
The menus looks good but they are very slow, transferring/selling items is a pain. I don't like the non-fighting jobs, they are boring, repetitive and luck based, and they seem the best method generating gil.
The game is not bad, but it is very slow.
