It's a joke, I know it won;t feel that way to me, just to those Purple people that think it's a WoW-clone XD. (Yes, I said purple people! haha)

I totally share and agree with that you have said.

Japanese blog was just updated.　Shows what they are showing at the event.　Second image is of the Sil'dih ruins.

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.

---

I was under the impression that Poison was magenta/purple and Bio was green and Cure was bluish/purple.

So wouldn't the green possibly be Bio?

True, I was thinking in Western non FF standards lol FF makes it purple-y.

Edit: Although the more I think about it purple has often been poison too lol

It looks like a screen shot since no app can do that nor can any game. Looks nice though and seems like it what is to come? Also looks like an import from the white ps vita, I actually got one for myself. Although that vita might also be that rare hatsune miku skinned vita.

y there no ENG version yet!

Ugh .. I just wasted 5-10 mins of my life on the last few pages... hoping to find new info but just seeing a bunch of 12 year olds fight over a game comparison. I don't know if I'm more angry at the person who mentioned WOW, or the gullible fools who entertained that person for nearly 10 pages.

/sigh ...

PS. Oh look a new screenshot ... I guess my time wasn't fully wasted after all :rolleyes:

They should prepare the translations at the same time and then submit it to the Project Manager or whoever to roll all out at once- otherwise people might not read their carefully crafted language (at least the English side is always witty, maybe Japanese is a very compact language but I feel our side writes a lot :P lol)

Sooo many FF fanboys and fangirls have been exposed in the last few pages simply because of one person's opinion. Especially that one kid, i'm sure many of you know who i'm talkin' about.

I can see why you said it looks WoWish in the screenshot provided, but we've seen the game before that screenshot and it's graphics are unique. Having the camera zoomed out that far is something often seen in WoW though.

Not necessarily true. I think it just might be that the localizers are busy? Since we have had blog post before the japanese blog posts before.

portal-like scene, and a running(or chasing) cactuar...damn, I have no idea what it is

You can call me out if you want to.

I admit, I should not have given him the amount of attention I did, but his 'comparison' was completely unfounded.

Ah no I meant they could prepare all their localizations, submit it to one person who will upload them all at once.

I was just adding on by saying whenever I look at the JP blog it doesnt look like it has as much written down - like our local-izers give us (NA) extra love :P

When I played WoW we tell everybody to zoom out because you can see what is happening in a complex boss fight. For example when mobs spawn you can see where they spawn being zoomed out while you sometimes can't being zoomed in. All I can tell from Rukkirii's screen is that ARR can let you zoom out further than 1.0 and Rukkirii is not a newbie.

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.

Well Darkhaund, while i can def see your concern of that photo being too Wowish, I think ARR is doing something that the other "WoW clones" aren't. Prior to ARR being released we were already teased with a great story involving primals and the Garleand Empire which i cant wait to see where that ends up. I really cant tell you the story for games like Tera, Rift, Aion etc.

What makes ARR different from SWTOR? Its going to have an actual world. going through 6 loading screens to get from one planet to another really takes you out of the experience. While you are def entitled to your own opinion, with all due respect, I dont think its fair to call ARR generic because it blended saturated bright colors in a photo. On the contrary, i doubt im the only one who got super excited at seeing such eye popping colors on the screen.

Def hopeful on great boss encounters in ARR!! :)

How can you call a game garbage when you've never played it?

That and I'm also curious if it means we will have faster monsters in 2.0 compared to 1.0.. Obviously just an image so you cant really gauge speed but it looks like the Cactuar is hauling ass lol.

/think
sorry let me reuse this...
It's the same situation based on one "concept art" thing and came out the WoW clone comment:

Ummm if you played Dirge then you should play XIII my friend best thing Dirge had going for it was the music. XIII wasnt bad it was different and ppl cant seem to get over the one that popped their cherry. But hey to each his own.

It be funny if the game was only Named ARR! XD I'm still chuckling at the thought of seeing ARR in the Login Screen! haha!

http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/static...tory-23-jp.jpg

This is one of the best new Title Screens. My Fav!

It's because we are surrounded by fucking WoW fanboy's that just can't take someones opinion. It's an observation ppl get over it. That ffxi screenshot is nice btw. I'm not going to say if I like WoW or not but who really cares, you should be on these forums for this game so quit acting like you work for Blizzard punks.

This is from FFXI. Notice that there's not as much saturation? Bright colors in spots isn't what people were talking about lol.

I wasn't mad that he compared it to WoW, I was mad when he went all "OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE A WOW CLONE QQ FINAL FANTASY CRAFT".

Edit:
Also, please dear god, let's move on to something else please.

The elezen lady she....has an axe?!? wonder where exactly the screenshot is from, wait it couldn't be from the Developer's commentary video mentioned in the Recording in Progress blog entry could it!?

Man I really love the Male Miq starting gear. One of the reasons I'm starting over, just so I can wear it.

It seems like the media has full-on access to ARR..not just confined to Gridania areas.

Probably restricted into sectors though. They may have ul'dah down but there is still the different camps and the like.
