It reminds me Grobbulus fight in Naxramas, and that's only a good thing speaking of encounter mechanics/dynamics :D

When you look at it from that angle and the amount of saturation, it really doesn't remind you of anything but the lower end MMO graphically.

I agree. It seems that the majority of the people in these forums are fanboys that cannot take any "negative" comments. And now that you mention it.. it also looks like league of legends. And yes.. it looks like your standard generic MMO.

If it turns out, it will be sad and good since I will be quitting mmos.

I'm not sure why they are so much more saturated, but that green is not natural - which is worrying, since "natural" is the best word I could find to describe the FFMMO syle.

Yeah its why I was like its a poison.. corruption.. thing... lol

Only being magical can explain imo - some sort of dark source that is corrosive (posion is famously green but that is a very bright green).

It doesnt help that the room is very monochromatic.

That was my immediate thought as well, but I thought it bad luck to mention him at a time like this.

He's honestly just responding with a similar attitude to what you've been pouring out.

I was able to see LIVE alpha gameplay and the games does look, feel and PLAY like any recent generic MMO. It was alpha and also the videos they have shown remind me of games like wow and rift

idk y but to mee it doesn';t look wow-ish cartoniish to me =.= u guys complaining have very bad eye sight!

Really? Because I think assuming the game is going to turn into a WoW clone become of one screenshot is ridiculous.

what? giving out an honest opinion that based on the limited into we have seen the gmae IN MY OWN OPINION looks wowish, feels wowish and seems to be leading that way is a bad thing?

I am sorry, but i am not part of your "blind fan boy train" i really hope the game turns out to be unique and with a true FF feeling. I really dont want Wow crap all over again like RIFT for example

It's not your opinion that's bad. It's how you're raging on about it like some child who got denied his candy.

The "WoW" interface is such a standard that i don't care, i like it.

And even if the screen looks Wow-ish , i can only be happy. It's too early to judge, but it looks like they added more dynamic moves in the fights (poison pool to avoid etc. ) ...

I would be VERY disapointed if the game was a boring tank&spank just like XI and the old XIV .

We need a fresh gameplay, and "taking some ideas from WoW" it's only a good thing.

RIFt is doing quite well MIND YOU!

Also they're trying to pull in a much larger group of people this time. Like, I don't know, people who like and/or are used to that type of interface? They're not making this for the old school MMO players alone.

i am not raging. far far from it. I am just dissapointed that a game I (we) have been waiting for song long is (in my opinion) turning out to be like all those other MMos that abused the old wow formula.

Who knows, maybe all of this will be more clear once beta comes out!
But based on the MMOs I have played, including wow, ffxi, ffxiv starwars and rift ARR seems to be more like the wow clones than a "clone" of ffxi

They were actually trying not to clone FFXI you know.

Ever play VII, or VIII, X, X-2, XII or XIII? They all had areas that were green and purple, or some other highly saturated garish colors. That's kind of part and parcel with fantasy/sci-fi, and Final Fantasy is no stranger to such. Which leaves nothing but distance placement, which again, is just common in most mmo's. Hell, outside of the battles, even VII and VIII had areas where your perspective was at an extreme distance. So, not even a new FF feature.

Now when we get to see a clear picture of the screens and the characters look like over exaggerated caricature from a Saturday morning cartoon with Burtonesque styled scenery, then we can claim it's 'WoWish.'

The amount of crying in this thread over one screenshot is AMAZING.

That because basic game mechanics are present in all video games in some shape or form I'm sure if anyone could come up with a way to revolutionize how you play a game differently they get hire pretty dam fast lol. Wow only made what was already their in all mmo of the past and made it more user friendly and streamline questing about it.

While I cant say I dont see a WoW resemblance to that "one" screenshot photo of a screen* (due to the saturation of those particular colors) - I can say we've hardly scratched the surface of ARR (level 20 of 3 fighting classes not including jobs is all the Alpha videos include (and alpha)).

Also we cant really see shit in that photo so it may actually be really cool looking - I've already cropped and zoomed in, its a pixel fest because the screen is only a small part of the photo. I'm not a fan of waiting but we should probably wait :)


(Edit: Dragonheart reminded me to change the wording from screenshot to photo, since its not even a screenshot :P)

I have played all final fantasies except 3, and some of the spin offs like digre of crebrus. I have not played the GARBAGE of 13 and probably never will.

I played 11 for a long time and I also played WoW for quite a while. And YES the battles in WoW were much more dynanic, and fun you could say. In 11 you basically just either zerged or kited and dps to death. Dont get me wrong, there are things in WoW that are done in a great way, but it is the overall that just got tiring. WoW never had that "cinematic" or "narrative" sentiment that 11 did.

Hard to explain guys.

Rift for example.
Game looks amazing!! But it was a carboy copy of WoW with a different story.... sad.

I sincerely hope, that they who feels ARR is wowish and hate it, really quit it now. Better than complaining for the direction that will not be changed. Drop it now before you ruin other passenger mood. as someone said it, put your money where your mouth is.

Oh, so you've never played it, yet you've already established it's garbage? I see a re-accruing theme.

I agree. For all we know Rukkirii's game might in fact look like Dynasty Warriors!

Once beta comes out.. if the games turns out for me to be a wow clone. That will be it for me.
I am not against borrowing good ideas and things that are now standard... but Final Fantasy is much much more than your geeneric MMO.

How many of you liked FFxi over wow?
FFXI had that final fantasy feeling.

I never felt attached to my characters in wow
i tried and tried to get into the story and blizzard just failed to do it.

I like RPGS with a story that grabs you and envolves you. FFXI did that in a marvelous way. Dont tell me you guys dont have awesome memories of your zilart missions, cop missions etc etc? That for me is what final fantasy is all about.

Even in crappy version 1.0. the story and cs were amazing.

Actually, it's just one person who is getting more attention than he deserves.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Like I said.. i dont want a FFXI clone.
I hope ARR is something in between that can offer a cool "not so copy cat" gameplay with an amazing story and great cinematics.

While its not entirely likely I keep wondering if that poison goop will fill the room (does it grows and fill the room is what I mean) - and what is the difference between the goop and the corrupted crazy green ground. It looks like deep in the haunted house is a venomous diremite nest XD

Darkhaund create a I hate WoW thread.

I have... i have been a loyal fan of this game since beta 1.0
One thing are pics, cinematic, screenshots, artwork, and another thing is actual gameplay.

I guess it is not too long before we find out.

All it needs is a KO count and a moogle calling Rukkirii a True Warrior of the Three Nations!

You mean a picture of a computer screen that has the game zoomed out?
