I look forward to the epic.Kagari said:
Malboro looks alot scarier than most models. Nice.
Oh yeah and on Gladiator, traits from past FF games with that job:
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gladiator
a special kind of job class in the Final Fantasy series. The Gladiator job is all about dealing heavy damage, usually with elements added to their attack. The trade-off is that the Gladiator has very low accuracy or defense compared to other melee jobs.
Has appeared in all Ivalice Alliance games (except original FFT) and FFV advance.

I believe in one of the older FF games, Monk was actually stronger without a fist weapon. But I can't recall. Anyways, it was always stupid to me to strap on claws or something goofy to your fists to punch something. You would only fuck yourself up. :lol

I agree that the Cactuar looks better than the XI model but I would rather fight the giant Cactuar from X-2Estival said:

So what's the general consensus on the release date for this behemoth? (lulz)
We know (or are at least fairly certain) that FFXIII will be coming out in the general Q1/Q2 area. So would this be a Q3/Q4 release? Or do they follow a business model that does not see the two titles as potentially debilitating for the other's sales?

Yeah, they probably should change the attack animation when equiped with a claw or those brass knuckles style weapons. Maybe give monks different belts/ necklaces to boost hand to hand power instead? Like some magatama necklace or rosary bead = new hand to hand skill?

Actually I wouldnt count out a close release schedule. An MMO shouldnt cut into a single player RPG of the same series. And most fans would end up buying both anyway.
Well they said they want a long beta, and for shareholders it's probably not going to be in the same fiscal year as the Japanese XIII release, but it's an instant money maker and doesn't need a massive launch. So I would say any time from May till before the xmas push. If it's not ready by then, before March '11.Kyzer said:
After trying to hear the battle theme, I think we can expect something similar to these themes:
FFVI battle
FFX battle
Battle Conditions
Really wish we could get a direct feed like everyone else, but from what I could hear, it sounds like one of Uematsu's faster paced battle tracks.

I actually believe that they will meet the 2010 date, by calendar year and not FY. Why do I think this? Because they can do what they have been doing in the past with FFXI, and just meet the launch date with a 'content-lacking' product.
Of course this could be seen as a bad thing, but I'm not quite talking on the levels of WotG. They should have enough content already by now. I know there won't be numbered numbered levels, but there will be some sort of 'soft cap' as in how many skills you will be able to get before we get a higher set of skills from the next update and so on.
So unless there are some serious QA problems during the beta testing phase, I don't see any problem for a possible September/November 2010 worldwide release.

The look and style of the game feels very much like Final Fantasy XI, with rolling landscapes and detailed, colorful character graphics. The game is currently in its alpha stages, and it shows. There's no real point in bothering to criticize the graphics of an unfinished product, except to say there's still work to be done, which should be obvious. To my delight I found that my character, a female Elvaan hunter equipped with a giant bow, could actually move down and up small ridges on the landscape.
If you didn't play FF XI and don't know why that matters, then don't worry about it. The game still blocks you from dropping longer distances, but as for roaming around on plains or slightly hilly terrain, it seems like smooth sailing. Or walking, rather.
There is now an overhead map as well as the compass.

Oh god... the run speed. I don't even know how to describe the pain I felt running in FFXI. The slow... monotonous drifting in the Sarutabaru (or whatever) plains, the 12 minutes it took me to walk into Tahongri (or whatever) canyon... ugh.... Getting my Airship pass literally almost made me cry.
It makes me so happy that the run speed has gone up, now if they scale the world so that it still takes forever to get from A to B, I am going to punch someone. Probably Kintaro because he stole my name(ish).

kagari is a woman, wow i didnt know that, mind blown, by the way, i owe her my life for the highly amazing avatar that she gives me =D <3!!Captain N said:
on topic, i havent been reading a lot of ffXIV but anyone know the monthly fee for this game or that hasnt been announced?
The more I look at this the more I know this isn't the flavour of MMO that I want to play...
I'm sorry, but little things like jumping, and rate of swing is a huge deal IMO... it just lowers the energy soooo much when your character stands around for a good few seconds before swining.
While I wasn't expecting anything quite as extreme, I was hoping something more in the vein of Blade and Soul rather than FFXI as far as animations went (maybe like FFXIII, where Lightning goes in for multiple strikes each time). Doesn't look like that's happening though.

Not only is Kagari a woman, she is also a woman that is 'adequately' attractive by even GAF's sharp knees standard. She doesn't think so though, so she really likes it when people PM her telling her how pretty she is. Oh, particularly Juniors.
Anything and everything said before this spoiler will get me in shit, do not actually do any of these things. Damn people finding out Kagari is a girl every other damn page!
I can almost guarantee there will be a monthly fee, I don't remember if it was properly announced, but the amount of generated monies from subscribtion fees is too much to pass up for a game that will be as big as FFXIV.
well Ive seen some impressions in this thread that just make me scratch my head and wonder how its so hard to understand that this is a demo build for a convention and you cant take away too much from it.
One of the things Im skeptical about is the speed of the game. While it doesnt look super fast its certainly looks higher paced than FFXI. But is that just for the demo since they know people are only gonna have 15 mins to play it? Its like everything has haste and quickened on.
I wouldnt be surprised if by the time the game releases (not beta) there is some "adjustment" made to the speed of the game. Remember that once we buy the game they want us to play it for a long time and the longer it takes us to walk from here to there for every little thing the more hours we play.
Invisible walls? Of course! Did you think the whole world would be open for this demo?
I wish we had a vid of one of the devs playing the game. I got the feeling that the people we see playing dont have a grasp of the controls or the camera.
I need to rewatch a lot of the stuff again but Im officially hyped and I CAN wait another year or so for this game to come out as long as we keep getting new info and media.

MEGATON: Galka confirmed for MvC3
Also, in regards to the combat system pace, you have to take into account that they weren't using many advanced skills, which would surely change things a lot. Seemed like they were just on auto-attack.
I'm more interested in knowing if they were using pre-leveled characters or if the mobs were just that weak.
Of course it will have monthly fees. I wonder why would people even thing that a MMO from such a company and of such magnitude would be free to play.
Anyway, they haven't said how much will they be, or how much they game will cost, all the pricing will be prbably announced in the coming months or early next year.

The topic is now officially that there is a girl on GAF. Does fistful know?Kinitari said:
Sorry Kagari, just playing.
To anyone who played FFXI a lot, (I barely touched it years ago), how did it control on gamepad versus a mouse? Someone mentioned they think the targeting system on today's build was the gamepad system (which was an astute observation I think). Was the game very playable on console?
My PC could probably run it, but I'm much more into the comfort of console gaming, especially games I'm going to put a lot of time into.
So what with there being no character levels system, do you think the armor will have massive stat boosts such as 1000+ HP (will probably be vit tho), but have a requirement to wear the armor.
Or do you think that stats will be linked to the weapons and how far you have skill them up.
Supposedly the characters were buffed in this build but they only had 300 LP (life points) It is more likely the mobs attacks were nerfed though.
Also noticed that the Warrior class had 3000 TP and that it slowly built up over time after he used it. (although it could be a combination of him attacking and being attacked, was hard to tell)
