Final Fantasy XIV

My GF got into the beta, I am still hoping. It definately needs work but they arent saying it is even close to being done.

 

I cannot confirm, nor deny these heinous accusations.

 

Er .. Could you elaborate on this ?

 

His quote actually makes sense for the way ff14 combat is atm.

 

I meant his saying that 'japanese put more emphasis into thinking and strategy, rather than hand eye coordination and quick reflexes.', as I really can't find game examples to confirm such a position.

 

The Inquisition will come for you, sokar!

AKA, I wish you could tell me ;]

 

This is pretty much correct if you think about it. Ir you remember FFXI, most of the HNM fights revolved around positioning and range. FFXIV is expanding on that with it's weapons and abilities. You have to actually think and use strategy about where you want to go/do.

I.e The lancer's weapon can hit multiple enemies, at double the range of a standard melee weapon. So you can sit back a few feet out of an enemies reach and attack, or move in closer. Multiple abilities are AOE, both beneficial for the party and deadly against the enemy.

All in all, I love it.

 

any confirmation o nthe next beta selection? Cant even look at their forums they are so cruel lol.

Didnt make it in the first one either even though I used the FF 13 C.E key

Release Date September 30 Announced

Does XoO have plans on supporting this game? There have been zero talks about picking this up but for some reason there is a huge following for Star Wars which isn't releasing for another year.

 

Maybe because the previous FF MMO was such a big success ?

 

I will make a post in the Xenate about this can someone please supply me with an estimate of the number of expected interested parties?

i wanted to play this, but the benchmark gave me a 500... need 2k.

 

Where can you get the bench mark I need to test that out?

 

Maybe not with XoO but I enjoyed the game.

here yeah go

ff11 was one of my favorite mmo even though it really didnt have any pvp.

+had one of the best stories ever.

taru paladin ftw

 

Yes the benchmark gave my computer a measly 300. I think FFXIV will prevent many people from playing because it is too much to handle for the majority of computers. Anyway I've been hearing talks that the benchmark is not optimized so that could explain the low score (I just bought my computer 4~ months ago!).

@FFXIV: I think it will be a very successful PvE mmorpg with strong basis on community. I'll be interested in playing in its upcoming betas but so far I've not gained access.

 

I ran the benchmark and cried because my score was disgusting. I'm buying a new PC earlier than I thought I would be, for this and Brink.

 

I think I could make one or two changes to my machine and get a really decent score... which is amusing to me considering before this benchmark thing I had zero interest in this game at all.
