Final Fantasy XIV

Not me.. /cry

I've never made it into 1 single closed beta test, and I've apped to atleast 15+ major MMO closed betas.

 

This is news I better have gotten one.

 

If you did let the rest of us know how it is

 

Any confirmation on this?

 

I believe it's fake. I was reading around and there has been no official word from Square-enix.

 

Yup thought so, didn't see anything either and was just curious if I was falling behind. haha

 

I've gotten in a handful, but I normally don't have luck with these things.

FF14 is really the only PC-related game I'm looking forwards to in the 'near' future.

Hopefully we will have a decent following it if turns out to be decent.

 

We will have a great following and I'm going to make sure it.

 

OMG we making a division for FFXIV!!?

 

maybe im reading this wrong but just ta let ya know dev team said they arent gonna put pvp into this game its not a plan right now.

 

Hmm that'd be interesting I mean FF11's PvP was nothing special, but they still had it, can you put down a link of them saying it? PvP is kind of a popular thing and even PvE games have a smidgen of it.

 

I read that they will have PvP and it will be very similar to FF11's.

They have the same stand on PvP, it's a bit of an after thought for them. But they did say they were going to have PvP like their last FF, it's just not something they are working on atm.

 

I see, well I never did much PvP to be honest in FFXI, nations battling each other didn't sound like a horrid idea. As long as there a Duel system I'm good, I wanna be able to kill some punk who thinks he's better then me =]

 

I didnt so much as read it. It was said by one of the dev members on an interview about the game at a game convention i gotta find it. can you please relate to me the link where u read this?

 

Also will XOO be taking up a division for FFXIV?

 

they are taking out the grind fest of party/killing mobs and adding quests and more solobility with more depth into storyline. also know they are taking out auto attack everything must be done manually. Block,Parry,Dodge, M Att, Phy Att.

 

I am still looking for that video but heres a link that FFXIVCORE.com *one of the leading sites on FFXIV contents* had with Tanaka.

What about PVP?

We have the same stance on PVP as we had in FFXI, we're having a focus on PVE, but we may introduce some sort of sports-type that might be tied to PVP in the future. What we're worrying about is that we dont want to have any PK'ing or harassment types of activities in the game. So in order to provide a safe environment to everyone and a game to enjoy. So we're not focusing on PVP.

 

you do know there will be grind in something els then, like making armor or weps fit hat have crafting. there been games that tried removing the lvling stuff but made crafting and one other thing to boring and harder to do

 

Yeah, MMOs have to have time sinks or else people won't keep coming back every month. So if it's not leveling it will be gear.

 

Yeah, especially since FF14 is taking out the traditional "level system" and basing it on gear (something already mentioned, just re-stating) which I'm very anxious to see how they will use "that" type of system and get longevity out of it.

I didn't really care for Ballista, but that was an older engine and the game wasn't built for PvP, just added it. (Lock on system, etc).

Whether they have it or not, I'm more interested in the character development side, although you could argue that PvP would be part of that. They have a lot of things to release.

Owainn, there isn't a division for FF14 yet and even if there is one it all depends on how many folks we can get for it and it might just be a supported game, I'm not one of the top dogs though - just stating what I've seen with other games.
