Where there any releases on the rest of the chocos for the rest of the jobs?
Looks very slick, I love it. Sadly, no matter what kind of ingenious interface they will come up with, gamepad will always be inferior to keyboard/mouse, simply because the latter got so much more buttons.
I will never understand people like you. You think the graphics are inferior to Aion (maybe you are just so distracted by the slutty clothes that you don't notice how unrealistic everything looks) and you don't like the foundation of the class system. Those are two of the biggest selling points of the game, realistic graphics and the freedom to switch between classes; literally every other MMO fits the criteria of what it seems you would enjoy and yet you choose a game that is "broken and everyone knows it."
Or maybe you don't actually play, in which case, go away. There are people who actually enjoy FFXIV.
I think I am old and blind because to me the graphics look wonderful...
But then - When I was a kid the coolest game out there was Super Mario on 8 bit Nintendo and at the time that looked awesome to me as well...
LOL!
LOL! LOL!!
LOL! LOL!! LOL!!!
Antony...... learn the difference between aesthetics and graphics.
Aion doesn't have high polygon count models, high res textures or use advanced shaders.
So your personal taste might lean toward Aions art direction, that doesn't mean it's graphics are better, which they are not.
Since you shared your opinion I'll share mine. Aions graphics are low res garbage, I happen to like FFXIV's art direction and will take it over Aions any day.
I suppose I should've provided a bit more of a context. The way the game is now, gamepad works just fine. You don't gain any advantages by using keyboard and mouse, quite the contrary, the implementation of these devises is horrible. Playing this way is rather unpleasant. However, this will no doubt change in ARR, as the game is designed to accomodate both those who prefer gamepad and those who prefer keyboard.
Of course, we will have to try it out for ourselves first before passing any verdicts. Still, logic dictates that it's easier and faster to activate the ability by simply pressing, say, "F" key, instead of pressing "L2" + "left" on a pad. Not to mention that you won't be able to fit all of the abities and macros on one bar, you'll have to scroll through them. Mind you, I've never said that gamepad sucks. If nothing else, new UI beats an old (current) one by the mile. It's just that keyboard and mouse makes much more sense in MMORPG enviroment, where you got a crapload of abilities to operate with.
Uh I said the actual job system, you know the whole needing to /job on to be your job instead of just being it already. Hell I <3 how you can change job on the move tho, nothing at ALL wrong with that, I hate MMOs that you need to create multiple characters just to level another job(Thats why i played FFXI for 6yrs). Uh ok I don't play thats why I have almost every class 50, yea sure. Not sure why the hell someone would post on forums of a game they don't play, heh.
Didn't say anyone wasn't entitled to there own opinion, don't be hatin' cause mine ain't the same as yours. I didn't say at all FFXIV graphics are bad, I'm just saying there is better when the person posted that FFXIV was the end all be all in the graphics department. Although you might not share that Aion looks nice compared to FFXIV, atleast you can set it onto high settings without either needing an expensive GPU or you can cope with the insane lag that it brings.
Although you can look on MANY review sites and Aions score actually beat FFXIV in many aspects. Not saying I'd play Aion over this, because Aions community is even worse than this due to the PVP and the fact its F2P now.
Like I said, everyone is entitled to there opinion so don't hate cause I don't share the same as you. Good day to you sir.
People are expecting too much from a game that still uses DX9 in 2013 :P
Imho Aion looks a bit worse than ARR but far worse than the current FFXIV. Aion is just more colorful (lots of purple lol).
If you want a game with really nice surroundings you should look at The Secret World. But it lacks character details.
The massive detail is what's making the current FFXIV sluggish for some people... well and the huge lag. The game doesn't scale down detail over distance, instead the stuff just disapears. If the game showed all players in range in Uldah you wouldn't even be able to move. SE needs to create an engine that can scale details depending on the situation. A scene with 10 characters can't be rendered the same way as a scene with 1000 characters, unless everyone looks derp
>.<
I'm not hating, you're just misinformed, unknowledgeable, and uneducated when it comes to extrapolating the difference between style vs detail (aesthetics vs graphics).
Aion may have reviewed with high scores but it doesn't make it a better game. You know what other game got high scores? SWToR. What a crap game.
I speak from experience as I've played both and found both games miserable.
The ps3 control scheme reminds me of Tera, I think it was a good idea.
Comparing ARR's ps3 graphics to ps2 is BS though, when was the last time you played a ps2 game? Only one out of five screenshots looks weird (the one with the terrible graphics), rest of them seem fine for a ps3 game. At the current stage, this might as well have been a screenshot from an earlier build.
Do I have to remind you which gpu the ps3 uses? I dare you to make the current game look better with smooth framerates with the current version running on a 7800GT
This. A lot of people need to learn that difference.
Loving that controller UI. The graphics do seem to have taken a pretty bad hit on the PS3, but that was to be expected, so... ┐('~` )┌
lol omg I remember having to print stuff out too for ffxi back in the day haha. Yeah they really need to focus on updating their website. last night I went on xi to ask my friends in my ls if they are playing 2.0 and none of them knew much like about gold saucer and crystal tower. No one is going to go hunt down info, se needs to realize this. I am tired of hunting down info myself meh
i don't think 1 screenshot of ps3 ui deserve a site upgrade
Control scheme looks a lot better than I expected it to. Leaps and bounds over XI's control scheme.
Not sure if it was posted already, but...
Final Fantasy XIV is the next Dengeki PlayStation cover

The "Stance" option caught me by surprise and I thought we could change how characters posed but then I snapped out of it, its probably for the acion/passive modes gimmick.
I like it, the only thing is curious about is do you have that 16 total slots across all jobs, or do you have anew set for each job, as 16 will be tricky if you have all jobs levelled since you need to use 2 sets for job abilities to match the amount the keyboard layout has. Allowing only 8 classes and jobs.
It will be eventually. SE (and other companies) often release the information to the press before updating official repositories. This helps generate more buzz since press sites are now releasing new, if not exclusive, information - which means the press is more interested. It also helps the community (although it might not seem like it) by allowing community sites to form and generate their own communities - which helps fill in the gaps left by official sites.
For those only following the official sites, the information will ultimately get there.
Sure is subjective there. SWTOR didn't meet expectations != crap game. (And that's coming from someone who stopped playing and didn't like the game...)
Crap game was XIV 1.0 at release, that can be considered as a crap game. Where everything (well the few things available) didn't even work properly. Even if SWTOR went F2P and didn't meet expectations, the game may not be the best, but it's far from being "crap".
If SWTOR was crap according to your standards, I hope that ARR is crap as well then.
Sure is subjective there. Not meeting expectations =! crap game. XIV met no one's expectations because it was unfinished and the higher ups rushed it out. It's funny how you'll defend everything but come XI/XIV you'll throw out the same defensive logic you use.
Both games suffered problems in different areas that would classify both of them as "crap games." Next you'll say "but most people agreed XIV was crap"..hey so did most people about TERA and SWTOR, but you say otherwise.
I do. Not only does it show that the PS3 version is truly being developed, but it shows that they care, etc. You really don't realize how many people do not go around searching for screens online do you? >.> Not trying to sound mean or anything, but I mean...we all just want this game to do well, no? Like I said, I have a LOT of friends who play FFXI and other MMO's over the years and whenever I mention FFXIV it is STILL people saying they are unsure of it, where is the PS3 version, they do not know a majority of the stuff that most folks on here do because SE does not include it in the official website. They updated their official FB page though, so that is a start. :)
Most people are lazy online...they just want to go to one place for all their info. These people are also very hesitant about even thinking about giving this game a second chance. Why would they go around looking for info on a game they really didn't like and are kind of afraid of because SE's mistake? This is what they are telling me anyway. These are the people SE needs to convince to come back, not the people who are on this forum already, like you and I.
When I was interested in playing Lineage II all my boyfriend had to do was link me to their website and all the info I could have ever wanted was on there. Job info, races, the world map and content that I could expect to find in the game. Plenty of artwork and screenshots..and they had a little section for updates with new info! It is really simple.
I know they will update the site eventually, so I really don't care all that much. Like I keep saying, its not my game, not really my problem. I gave up trying to convince my friends to come play it. Maybe if SE advertises it well enough one day they will /shrugs.

New Akihiko Yoshida art always a good thing~
I think the new Controller UI looks amazing.
Hopefully it will be ready for the Alpha/Beta
Hopefully I can get into the Alpha/Beta...
As long as the official site gets updated soon enough, I don't see the issue. Medias/external sites create some buzz, then the official site gets updated. It's not because people who visit the official site doesn't have the latest bit of information right away that it's going to be a big deal.
The game is still far from being released, and if someone is so eager to get all ARR info as soon as they are made available, then that someone will most likely read up external sites/forums and won't just check Lodestone/Official Site.
Either the picture quality sucks or the graphic isn't as I've expected. Hopefully we'll get more screen shots to confirm
Wonder what this will be used for...

Probably something that will be seen on the horizon and not implemented until 2015 :| Given the seemingly 'upside down' look and the whole sanctuary incident from a previous dalamud attempt, I wouldn't doubt it's Ipsen's Castle 2.0.
Dude I'm a gamer not some geek that thinks he's awesome on the interwebz because I swallowed a dictionary this morning to make myself look cool, I couldn't care less about the difference. I play a game to enjoy it, have fun and relax from RL. End of the day FFXIV was MADE to be in HD, but because of the horrible system it can not handle it, why do you think they have redesigned it? Because its perfect as is? No. It only took them over 2 years of patches to actually make people want to play it more, that and the fact that FFXIV ARR looks out of this world.
Good for you for playing SWToR, jumped on the hype bandwagon like alot of people and look how that turned out eh? Didn't look that great at all tbh.
