I played it at a friends house for hours a couple times, he's a legacy member or whatever title they give to the masochists who keep paying Square to play their games.

I played the beta and it played like shit.
Worse then vanilla 14, which is not a good thing. Global cool down for all moves is terribly stupid. Only thing this game has going for it is it looks pretty. Combat is boring as hell.
So just like 11 with hefty cooldowns? Ugh.
PS3 beta starts in Phase 3 (almost certainly next month). Simultaneous PC/PS3 release.
Did you play last weekend? Or did you play over a month ago when they were doing server stress tests and lag was up through the roof, nothing like that at the moment. Also combat has received many changes.
It plays nothing like v1, it plays nothing like 11.
Definitely a good looking MMO, but the combat still sucks I'm afraid. Standard MMO combat.
So any idea on monthly fee, or have I missed that this turned into F2P? Were't the PS3 BETA sign-ups like 6 months ago?
Combat is only one of the things I care about the overall design in an MMO. Still... this makes me wary....
Yeah I understand. I still have the beta on my PC, it is somewhat enjoyable don't get me wrong, but my problem is I don't know how long I'll be able to firm that outdated combat system.
The overall design and the atmosphere I think is honestly really well done. Or at least from what I've played of it anyway (level 17 Lancer).
gotta admit i miss the overwrought bloom from 1.0
these look good but kinda unexciting...
it's not f2pyet
ya, I played it a while ago. Granted. But, nothing I've read about the game has changed my mind on it. I think the entire project is doomed to failure. It's just not a fun game. It wasn't the lag either, I didn't experience much lag, it was the game itself. The combat is boring and the global cool down means there is little incentive to do anything but hit the key that is going to give you the best return on damage over time.
For instance, there was a spell that knocks an enemy back to give you time to do something else, but since all the abilities are on a global cooldown, but the time you can act again, the monster is back, making the whole point of the spell useless. It's better to just keep slamming on that 1 key that allows you the best DPS, strategy be damned.
From what I've read they aren't changing global cool downs, among other things, and it just doesn't seem appealing. They are trying to make it more like other MMOs but they should learn by now that it doesn't work.
oh well, just my 2 cents from my time withthe game. I really don'tcare that much, as I'll never play the game.
bummer, I was kinda hoping.... Any mention or price yet anywhere?

I think the combat plays fine, and the 'global' cooldown has its benefits. It's also not like EVERY skill has the same cooldown, it's mostly skills that combo together of the same type that do.

Looks amazing. Very glad they added such prominent spell effects for mages.
Damn I'm invited to the beta but totally forgot to play it. Well I remembered here and there but have been busy.
Is it still going on?
The engine's lighting is incredible. The technical director and other key staff of the Luminous Engine (Agni's Philosophy Tech Demo) were involved in making the new engine.
What's the difference between a class and a job?

Looks like XI, but in HD.
Can't say whatever it's a good thing or not, honestly.
Clipping drives me crazy.
It's an Adamantoise
This game should really be ported to PS4 as well, as the PC version looks fantastic. The Ps3 version looks pretty bad in comparison... Plus It could be FF on PS4 at launch.
