Dang! I was hoping somebody would ask about a monthly price but I guess SE probably didn't have that figure ready either which would've been a wasted question(NVM I must've missed that question.) I'm interested and I'll probably buy it nontheless if only to try out for a few months. Sadly I'll probably have to put my FFXI account on hold because I plan on playing and paying for Star Wars The Old Republic too when it comes out.

If taru aren't as cute as before I'll be thoroughly depressed D:

More importantly, will they still have the same /panic motion?

re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

Problem is, which race would I want to play? Tarutaru are, admittedly, awesome. But those Galka look cool. And maybe Elvaan won't move so awkwardly so I could be one of those!

It's funny to read thru an entire thread of 16 pages of posts, then suddenly watch SE have a press conference that crashes speculations into a wall like a car driven by a crash test dummy.

When I read the PR I just LOL'ed, remembering the "OmFg wIlL I gEt tO XfEr mY cHaR n StUfF? I'M fReAkInG oUt HeRe! FFXI IS DEDz0r nOw"

Good info tho! Cannot WAIT

Yea seriously.

I get why people want their character in XIV but if its purely cosmetic just make him/her again, i'm pretty sure itl be possible to resemble your previous characters. Terribly sorry if you've made yourself too popular/loathsome that people might take your name ingame just to screw you over before you can

I'll probably choose a different race on XIV, I hope they introduce a couple more races but its fine if they don't, I'd really love to see an Oblivion-like character creation method too instead of just selecting a pre-made face which lots of other folks will have chosen too.

Oh and hair color and styles. Yeah!

They mentioned that XIV will be a lot about the character's growth, i hope they mean it...

re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

I'd have to say yup. Looks like Cummy is gunna be rockin the taru on XIV as well

OH my gosh yes that is the most important question ever D: why didn't anyone ask that question!?!

I guess I'm going to pray to God and Buddah tonight that in FFXIV there will be no:

Colibri

Crabs

Overcrowded zones (where SE has to spam messages like "the area is too full, please move to another area at this time; I remember this from the early release of ToAU and was like.... WOW RLY!? lul)

More options of places to camp for xp/merit endgame (though I guess its not terrible, but annoying when all the good camps are taken, this is prolly just wishful thinking tho)

No lag in Dyamis or Beseiged (though my PC isn't top notch, and my xbox is well xbox... maybe some people don't experience terrible slow down times during big attendence events)

Cameo appearances in a mission or BC (if they decide to keep BC's lol) by trademark FF character from 1-13 (that would just be neato)

Glad to hear they will expand the soloing atmosphere.

That is all! (there's more but I'm at work and someone is calling me...... )

More fights like the Promathia fight at the end of COP (personally loved this battle)

I guess I'm going to pray to God and Buddah tonight that in FFIV there will be no:

Colibri

Crabs

No, I don't believe either of those mobs are in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_IV"]FFIV[/ame], so I guess you're in luck.

Now that no character transfers is official, I no longer give two shits.

That, combined with SE's saying that I should look at Feba as a doll instead of a character, and the way it seems like they abandon the one game they make that approaches FF11's greatness, it could be a very long time before another FF game I actually love is released. If ever.

It seems to me like you are unduly concerned over the life of a fictional character that you have complete control over.

SE was using an analogy when they mentioned actors, Feba's fate is yours to decide. You said you aren't concerned with stat, equipment, and game play transfer so it seems to me like you want SE to make your personal experience with Feba cannon or official to the story line.

I don't see why that is necessary. You already made up a scenario where Feba is drawn through a portal into the world of Eorzea. Why can't that be your official role play? I've never played an MMORPG where you start anywhere but in your characters adult hood with the past completely up to you.

Have you heard of Quantum immortality? Where infinite parallel worlds exist, but only one subjective consciousness? What if during WotG while Feba was traveling through time, his soul was so strong that some form of destiny called out to him, and after he had done all he could for Vana'diel he was incarnated on Eorzea. The same Feba, but with a parallel body.

I don't know, I'm not trying to convince you to play XIV, but if XIV interested me and it was dearly important that my character stay with me through each Final Fantasy RPG, I would make up a role play like that.

Try not to get to angry about a hobby, its probably bad for your health-- and since day 1 of Raptures announcement, SE stated that the new MMO would parallel FFXI, not succeed it. I believe that and while server mergers might take place in FFXI's future the only reason I could see SE going back on their word is another big economic disaster.

re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

>.> I'm actually torn about whether or not I want to recreate my Elvaan.

It depends on several factors really;

1) What jobs are in the game and how the stats affect them.

2) Are they going to refine Elvaan combat stances? I mean we seriously look outright stupid in FFXI holding certain weapons.

3) Do I really want to project myself as that character again, or make a complete clean break from FFXI?

4) Most important of all... can I chose a male Mithra avatar? If so then fuck everything else I want kitty!

[Raydeus]

re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

I doubt there will be male mithras but it would be interesting to watch. It looked like SE kinda aimed for Galka to be the counterpart of Mithras in XI so I wonder if they will change that part.

Also, would there be Girlkas this time around? o_O;

2) Are they going to refine Elvaan combat stances? I mean we seriously look outright stupid and fugly in FFXI.

Fixed.

Also /comfort, but hey studies show taller guys get better salary, and maybe more girls.

What I liked about the elvaan woman in the video was that she had way better body* than in XI.



*For my taste that is.

re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

Ahhhh let the torture begin.... once again...

I'm growing more and more excited about this game every second that goes by. I keep reloading every website I know of hoping for some new info but as willy wonka would put it.... I GET NOTHING.

I'm gonna be in so much pain waiting for information on this game just like I was back before FFXI was released. I currently play WoW because a lot of my friends play but I'll definitely leave it without a second though for a more casual friendly, new and improved FFXI. I wonder if anyone is gonna put up a site specificially for FFXIV like this one? There probably wont be as much info and thinks to talk about other than plans and speculation though because the Japanese arent getting it like a year before us like last time.

The things I really hope for are as follows:

1. Groups not required for leveling but required for some content of course otherwise theres no point in making it an MMO.

2. No exp loss. Make some other penalty for death like repair bills perhaps?

3. No competition over NMs. Make imporant items come from instanced content. Or at least make them triggerable type things kinda like sky gods but without competition over the spawn items. I believe this would also lower the ammount of RMT going on. I for one dont want to camp for god knows how many hours against 7 other people for an NM or pay 5 billion gil for one item (I've never used RMT but I can see how people would want to the way things are in FFXI ). If I can run an instance with my friends, have fun, and get the item by in game challenge rather than timesink that would be preferable.

4. Make travel time a bit shorter. I like the scenic ride on boats and airships sometimes but after doing it a couple hundred times it gets old.

I'm glad to hear they're keeping the same races pretty much ( Taru ftw ) and hopefully they will keep a similar crafting system where the items are actually usefull and it's very worthwhile to craft unlike in some games. But yeah kinda rambly but I'm very excited. That's all I've got for now.

re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

There is alot of speculation in this thread.
I actually don't play FFXI anymore...
But, when I saw the trailer, I came over to these forums to see what people were saying.
I made this account JUST for this post.

Hopefully this will actually be news to you all.
(I didn't read the entire thread).

But, here.

re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010



Anyway, regarding the "actors" comment, I wonder if they'll mix up the cultures/histories of the races in FFXIV? For example, maybe the Elvaan live in the woods in XIV. Or, maybe the Tarus aren't the innately-gifted magic users. Kind of like the difference between Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, The Terminal, Apollo 13, etc.
