I miss the chipmunk nose, but Yoshida seems to think noses are the Devil so he just plain doesn't draw them. >.>

Good video. Nice visuals. Its also nice to see a high quality vid. The previous footage was always low video quality so it was hard to tell how well the game looked.

New pics. Look for the monocle! www.rpgamer.com/games/ff/ff14/screens/ff14ss061610-1.htmlPretty much FFXI Plus but they've gone the "everyone else" route and doing "kill so many of these" questing. Good news on that though, is that they're actually gonna let us fight more than one mob at once and actually live...how generous of them. >_>

I see no problem with that form of questing so I welcome it. Interesting UI. I was half expecting them to keep it somewhat similar to FFXI's.

Did you guys see the benchmark they have available? Its not bad looking. Its a scene on the boat with lots of monsters that attack.

I AM A BETA TESTER!!!! WOOOO!
Well, thats good news and bad news. Yes, I am beta testing, and the only thing I have done so far is create a new male hume, (pretty boy) and done the opening CS and landed in the opening city. I started to wander and figure out the town when...times up!
You can only play 3x a week and 4 hours at a pop. This week its Tues/Thurs/Sat from 9pm to 1am EST thats LATE for me! Beta testing sucks! I want to be able to jump on the game and just figure it out, and play and putter, but its a short time. The schedule changes every week. JP players are on for 4 hours, then EU players, then NA players. I am hoping for some afternoon playtime, as this late night shit aint cutting itin my world.
The game is a power suck! its a MASSIVE game, and my computer strains under the weight of it. I have a massive machine, but itreally slows when playing this game.
The controller is awkward, and you have to really make sure to set the exact functions to the exact key, but they have so many functions that you must share keys with several functions. I kept the 2 and 3 button as single ENTER and CANCEL buttons, but had to load up the others. Using the 4 button will open 4 things. Main program/emote program/status program/inventory. its a challenge to get used to, and I am still learning how to target and fight. I stepped outside of the gate to kill rats, but thus far havent been able to engage the enemy.
Once they open the time gate a bit more,perhaps I will sharemy info and let a few of you in to peek at it. Its beautiful,but from what I have seen right now, I would be hesitant to buy this game. its MASSIVE! and full of confusion. I guess that is true with any game tho.

I got a score of like 1500. But I realized I had AVG scanning in the background. I didnt feel like running it again. I just realized I never posted the link to it. Whoops. www.finalfantasyxiv.com/media/benchmark/na/index.htmlI love how it tells me my computer is barely able to play the game. Whatever.

My laptop got a score of 700... So, PS3 version for me... >.>
I knew it would fail horribly (this laptop was old when I brought it xD) so I've always been planning for the PS3 version if I get it.
New super computer will be coming soon, but probably not until next year now... Anyways, the battle system in this game now totally reminds me of Legend of Legaia, which was pretty good actually.

I have a massive computer so the download was only 2 hours for me total. The big issue I have is that you cant simply jump on the game anytime you want to try it out, or run around. This week I am on Tu/Th/Sat from 9pm to 1am EST and for any of you that know me, that is way too late for me to be trying to figure anything out. If next week is still a late night schedule, then...its no use trying to use me as a tester. Its not going to work, unless they give me some day time hours. Maybe I will share it with someone if that happens. I would LOVE the PS3 version, as I can lay down and play. I have my PS3 hooked up to a huge TV and that would help me alot. Currently they have the game windowed,and its not a big window, so I struggle to see shit. Loads of stuff need to be fixed before I would invest money in the game.
