      Probably just talking about the different kinds of quests, or guildleves.

      But you never know until you know.

        The caption box is talking about Lalafel with horns attached. And asking "WTF?" And saying something about FFXI SMN AF looking like a horn attached to a head too.

        If it weren't clearly a painting, and not a CG rendering, those horns might actually mean something.

          When it comes to consumable ammo I have to say I really don't mind it. What I do mind however is if it costs huge amounts of money which, in the end, for a lot of people is a deciding factor for weather you want to play it or not. What should make you decide on a job/class is how fun is the actual gameplay/role/mechanics of the job is, not weather or not you can afford it.

          The idea of decaying equipment, well if it helps the economy I am all for it, however there are both good and bad ways of doing it and so far I yet to see a game where the system is satisfactory. Not to mention what is a good system completely depends on the equipment/economic- system FFXIV uses. I don't like the idea of having to get the same item several times because it broke, nor do I want my items stats to get worse to the point where I WANT to get a new one(of the same item), but if that is the only way SE can make a good and stable economy with minimal RMT issues and a system where crafting continues to be valued and is profitable throughout the life of FFXIV, then I'll take it. Hopefully they think of a good way of doing it and tbh, with the things they should have learned from FFXI, I am hopeful and have faith in SEs capabilities.

          As for the rest, I can't wait to get more info! :D

              I like consumable ammo as well, I always get slightly irritated when you can obtain one super-powerful arrow, and use it an infinite amount of times. As far as item wear, it will be fine as long as there is a way to repair the item for much less than the cost of making a new one.

                How does that help crafting though? I mean if item wear works like in WoW, I really don't see how that helps the crafters in any way, unless they are the only ones who can repair and no NPCs(Which could be really annoying). The problems BBQ are talking about isn't solved so easily, unless I completely missunderstood what he was saying.

                  Well, with WoWs system... An item can be repaird as many times as you want. Items should only be repaired X amount of times so that items actually "Break". But, you keep the weapon, and it can be made into raw materials.

                  Say for example... You repaired your short sowrd 4 times already, and it gets broken this time. You keep the broken blade, and the handle. You can keep the haft as it isn't broken, and you can melt down the iron blade into an ingot, and have some one that can "craft" weapons, make you a new blade, and place the blade back into the hilt. Or, you can use the hilt to put on a different blade as the hilt may be 'enchanted" for like fire damage or some such.

                    Doesn't sounds half bad, I could defenatley see something like this working well. I'd prefer this over FFXIs system that's for sure.

                    Anyone know when we might get some additional info about the game? Except for random updates I mean, is TGS the next most likely FFXIV info bomb?

                      The next update and preview of the game will be at Gamescon in Germany on August 19th through the 23rd. After that... TGS at the end of September.

                          Wow, really that soon? Awesome! I agree with Takelli, but tbh from the info just released it doesn't sound like they are 100% sure on everything themselves, like with the quest system. Anyway, gogogo Aug 19th!

                            I want them to expand more on the battle system and advancing your character. We know it's through equip.. But I want more!

                            A nice quick in game vid would be nice, too. Prob too early for that, though.

                              Well, they have ingame screen shots, and the little battle was done with the games engine.

                              They might have a Semi-completed zone and character models. They are releasing the game in next year, so I dont doubt that they will have them

                                B If you look at the CG there are no horns so perhaps it's something like the SMN AF Headgear.
                                A:Head butt strengthening effect or something?
