Does anyone still play XI? I never got into it, but I'm interested in XIV. Since XIV is so far away, I was thinking of trying to get into it, but I don't know if its worth it to try to get into it so late in the game.

Yup, on fairy see this thread for info: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=17896242#post17896242

I still like FFXI a lot, but my desire to keep investing time in it basically completely collapsed once XIV was announced.

I play maybe 1-2 hours a week now, doing weekend Einherjar or MMM. At this point, I'm just sticking around for those, and to finish the WotG and mini-expansion stories. If I had a new job to level in a perma I might, but the idea of grinding away on merits or dungeon for one piece of gear with 2 more STR or whatever really doesn't make sense to me any more.

This happened to anyone else?

I didn't lose interest in FF11 after the announcement, but I was just coming back from 2-3 years of absence so the game was kind of fresh. However, having less and less time for games in general made it impossible to play FF11 without feeling lost.

 

[Teknoman]

Hmm might go with being a Lancer or Martial Artist.

I downloaded the trial a few months ago and could barely play it. Compared to the current MMOs, it's tough to get into it. I couldn't even figure out how to completely walk around for a little bit. :lol My only other experience was playing it on the 360 back in '05 or '06, whenever that demo disc came out.

Numpad ftw. Everything you need is right there.

Sale of two of the adventure was going to be focusing on the market. To enjoy the details

"Fullmetal Arenbikku (distiller)"

[NeoForte]

Woooo Lancer! Also ewww, Raptor mobs look the same :/

 

[Nakazato]

As long as they keep Mandys and Gobs the same the can change everything else imo

 

[∀ Narayan]

This game looks so good. I hope I can solo it.

 

[Ainaurdur]

The official site has been updated with the new discipline, bestiary, and lifestyle info that was in Famitsu. Plus a new audio track!

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com

And I am loving the text from the Raimdelle Codex.

 

[Kandinsky]

Music is just amazing.

Edit: drops!:lol

 

[Teknoman]

New screenshot!

 

[Achtius]

New screenshot!

that look kinda cool :3

 

[Kagari]

Can someone rip the music?

 

[Quazar]

Nice new update. Leathercraft it will be again!

 

[Kagari]

My only complaint with the screenshots is the character models could be a little better. The environments look amazing though.

 

[Teknoman]

Either going to be a Lancer (melee and throwing weapons?) + Cook, or Pugilist (better have some flashier martial arts moves and chi based stuff) + cook.

 

[jiggle]

the mithra is FFXIugly again in that screen :X


ima do chocobo digging again if it's in

 

[Kagari]

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/song.mp3
New song.

 

[Teknoman]

Lancer is wearing an eyepatch.

 

[SolidusDave]

good stuff.

Oh it better be in, and ill start diggin on day 1, just like in XI!

 

[Kagari]

 

[Teknoman]

lol at the second pic :lol

What happened to him?

 

[B-Dex]

They updated the official website with all the melee discipline names as well as descriptions of archer and lancer also all the crafting discipline names are there too. Not sure if any of this is new but if it is go to the official site and check it out

 

[Ainaurdur]

Got interested when I went to the screenshot page and saw this one.

Wondering if that might be a hi-res version of the face in character creation? Similar to how it was handled in FFXI, though the difference between that and the in-game model should not be as drastic this time.

That's CG, dude.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

The new music <3 .

 

[Ainaurdur]

That's CG, dude.

I know it is. You know it is. But does SE? :lol

 

[NeoForte]

So.....Lancer's don't jump? I hope they purposely forgot to mention that....uness that's not the Dragoon like job of 14.

 

[RocketDarkness]

Hmm, does that mean you can have spaces in your name now?

 

[Atrus]

Hard to not see the comparisons to this being the FFXI HD+ when the races, part of the beastiary, and perhaps portions of the crafting system made it in.

A trait of course which will lure a ton of FFXI players into it. I wonder if the smiths all plop down the anvils when they craft now.

Yup, check out the screen above.

 

[NeoForte]

They said they were gonna add in a Surname option a while back I think

 

[RocketDarkness]

Well, then X is a very terrible surname.

 

[Atrus]

Well, then X is a very terrible surname.

Worked for both Malcom X and Racer X.

 

[Teknoman]

Sorta homage to Shikaree X?

To be honest, they are better doing it this way than making an HD version and trying to get new people to join XI now.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Art direction is tasty.

First thing I thought about when I saw the name but then I remembered it was Z that was the Drg...

[Nakazato]

<3 <3 <3 <3 There better be some super special collector's edition. The 1st day server disasters will be legendary!

I'd be willing to spend 70 or 80 dollars for a Collectors with a OST and 150 pg art book.

I would also spend $200 for a one time fee (for unlimited) like Champions/ROTRO/WAR did

Edit: Why wont the show a rouge or nin yet ; ;

 

[zaccheus]

OMG!!!! that shit looks hot

 

[Khrno]

I just saw the update, they should treat us with small updates like this every week from now on, or at least every 2 weeks, add a couple more monsters everytime, or talk about items or what not. The music is awesome too.

So 5 fighter jobs so far (Disciples of War), still missing a Knives user and a Great Sword (or/and Scythe) user, to have the same amount of fighter jobs as FFXI release (so not including NIN and SAM). Looking forward to another 2H user.
