Wow, if they're trying to make me pay for another subscription game, they're really doing a fine job... because those screenshots are glorious.

YoshiP you glorious bastard.

I want to give you a hug.

Look at that new UI. So good.

Also, judging by the TP counter in all the images, you can start each encounter with 1000 instead of having to build it up? Idk for sure, but the screens make it look that way.

Is that a Fal'cie, because it looks like a Fal'cie.

lol I really hope its just some Garlean Magitek weapon and not them trying to create an Eorzean version of a Fal'cie.

Looks like Garuda got another makeover?

I honestly don't understand how this could have come from the same company that was responsible for the FF7 pc rerelease. It's almost unsettling, like I'm waiting to see what trademark SE badness is in 2.0.

Holy...

Now I am really pissed that I did not bother to qualify for the Legacy discount sub.

I thought that campaign was still going on! They said we have to just pay for 3 months up to when the beta comes out! The beta isn't out yet... is it????

All that got washed away with the initial beta and 1.0 sludge. Should be just shiny Final Fantasy goodness left. Plus YoshiP and the new staff additions are pretty dedicated.

Well, if it's worth anything, XIV isn't part of FNC as far as I know.


Nope :(

I know, but they've worked in other elements from past Final Fantasy games in an Eorzean fashion. Personally I want to see how Atmos ties into all this now, but I guess thats more for the Community thread.


Oh duh, it IS a deathclaw

Thanks Grumpy lol.

What's up with those screenshots? Awful dithering, is that JPEG compression?

Edit: It's in the UI as well, so I guess yes. Need to see better quality screens.

The requirements were you had to have a registered account before May 31st and pay for 3 months before beta.

Masterful.

Nothing but good feels.

The amount of effort that's gone into rebuilding this game is nothing less than herculean.

Yeah plus S-E isnt known for setting the game to max for screens for whatever reason.

For those interested, a look at whats currently going on:

Dalamud (meteor) generating Aether reactions (aurora) and smaller pieces falling to Eorzea.

Garlean forces are approaching.

And Atmos has appeared for some reason or another.

So I assume that's the jump animation, and you can't actually fly on your chocobo. :p
Click to expand...

Probably jump...but then again you never know lol. Chocobos are supposed to be used in combat at some point.

And yeah, I dunno why S-E always releases low quality shots for XIV.

I guess I should buy it before they jack the price back up when 2.0 is released.
Click to expand...

I've been wondering about that, are they treating this like a patch so all current player got it free, or more like a new expansion so you have to buy it even though you already have the original game?

There's something kinda unique about XIV... unlike all the other MMOs where initial failure means free-to-play or the end of servers, they HAVE to make it a good game eventually. A good thing for FF fans.

As far as I know everyone with the current version will be able to upgrade to 2.0 for free.

It's a free update if you already own the game. But I don't think the game will still be under $20 for PC once 2.0 launches.

Everyone who purchased XIV, regardless of whether they subscribed or not will get it for free. It won't be a patch though, a new client download.

It's that something uniqueness that XI had too. What other game can suck you back in even if only for a month 10 years later?
