This games sounds like it'll be pretty interesting.

Reading about it just makes me want to go back to FFXI. :/ Even worse now that it seems like they've fixed every problem I had with that game.

No levels sounds interesting as does the freedom of growth while still contained in a job system. Sure hope I get into the beta if I can.

You have the one with the appearance of the Crystal Warriors? That was the best cutscene in the game imo ;D Oh yeah, what's the name of that song that you had playing in the Shadowlord fight? They play it in Dynamis Xarc too ;o

no way it'll be free to play
XI was such a cash cow for SE
don't see why they'd let this go unmilked
especially when they said they don't plan to introduce purchase-able items (i doubt they could resist in the future)

They finally introduced (thinly-veiled) purchasable items in FFXI in the last couple months. Two items... ten bucks each.

Naw, the best is the cutscene after the Alexander fight in the ToAU storyline.

Thats the actual Shadowlord battle theme, just used the music only since I had to cut the video down. Didnt want the soundtrack to skip around.

Oh and we havent made it to the Crystal Warrior yet.

Free? :lol No if they want the game to function at all having 90 percent of population be 14 year old boys is not good idea. The wording makes the game sound radically different. Steampunk would be cool but the typical scifi fantasy mecha blend they have for everything now is fairly blah for me especially if its more realistic then iconic. Strong story elements is the best thing I am reading. Jump, falling, swimming, z-axis, no invisible barriers all over is a must If am going take japanese development in this genre seriously anymore. EQ did it in 1998 and made the world magical.

I'm going to most likely buy this at least a few months into when its released.

I enjoyed FFXI, and after investing a lot of time into it, I can't wait for a newer version..

EDIT: Thanks for the trailer its awesome.

I think Gamescon might have a larger showing for FFXIV than TGS does even. TGS will almost certainly be focused on pushing S-E's upcoming JP games.

That's what I'm thinking as well. It seems gamescon is too good of an opportunity too pass up for PR team. They will most likely show what they show at gamescon at TGS as well. Or even wait for a later event in Japan this year.(with more details)

I think so too, especially considering it's a worldwide simultaneous release.

Watch the trailer again. See the part with the sea serpent flying over the boat? The whole boat scene is ingame graphics. Actually it starts when the "galka" busts one of those aquatic monsters with his axe.

Nah...I'm banking on TGS being the event for FFXIV. The FFXIV player-base is primarily located in Japan after all...

Haven't seen any English names for the "new" Elvaans and Mithras, but a tentative romanization would be Elzen and Mikott.

Fighter and Sorcerers don't like like classes to me, but rather groups of classes. Apparently, within the Fighter group, you have swordsmen and archers.

Wow, the new designs look like FFXI HD or something. I am quite surprised (in a disappointing way). I thought they would have put a bit more effort into coming up with something fresh.

Edit: hold on, can't make it out totally because of the blur, but it seems that your class is decided by the weapon you have equipped.
Edit 2: this includes crafters. Equip a crafting tool, and you turn into a crafter.

They just added the problem of banning random people at random times.

Hmm... I'm not really liking the design of the Tarus..

Oh shit, do I see a new race? The dude with the horns and axe o_O
Edit: Nvm, they might just be feathers, lol

The new scans are terrific, but the more info is revealed the more I have to worry if this is just a replacement of FFXI. Hopefully one (or two!) new races will be there.

Saw some low quality ones.
There's customization and crafting mentioned in them as well.
Looks like the models they're showing are in-game too, I think.

Fighter: swordsman, archer
Sorcerer: enchanter, warlock
Crafter: blacksmith, cook

Awesome, thanks for the translation. Does it say anything else about the game? combat system?

Using FFXI as precedence, gathering will not end well.

Yeah, the magazine says it's almost the same as the in game models. Very high quality.

It also says there isn't much difference between races (which is the case with XI, except for HP/MP).

The Taru equivalents are terrifying. Beyond that I like the designs of everything quite a bit. Definitely feels like a Yoshida product from what's on display.

I hope that's one lesson they've learned from FFXI. I'm SO pumped for this though, I might go into this blind on day one, I was such a sucker for FFXI :D
