Alpha First Look: Video 4 - The Black Shroud II

Jaw -> Floor.... Congratulations o_o

looks fantastic!

im more interested in LL areas hope i can get a look at those in the near future, but so far everything seems great

Amazing how different ARR will be. x.x So pretty.

Simply amazing. From the music to the scenery, I can feel the final fantasy feeling from it. Although not necessarily just "final fantasy" but the simple fantasy feeling I used to have when playing rpg's back in the days. And that made me want to explore their world. Now I know why I always stuck to final fantasy as an mmorpg.

The zones scream a welcoming diversity. From the muddy marsh zone to ever glorious magical ones. A nice eye for detail to the surroundings, from moving leafs, light, shadows and flowing water. The syplh area reminded me of secret of mana and FFX.

One particular music(somewhere near the end, the more dynamic piano tune) made me completely emerge myself in the fantasy feeling. And to top things off with a giant beautiful waterfall...I applaud you S-E and hope you truely keep up the quality and that your efforts will be properly rewarded by praise from us and the media alike. (And by our wallets as well lol)

Very nice!! Can't wait!!

Hooray this is so pretty.

DEAR LORD! THIS GAME OH DEAR LORD & BEBEH LORDY

This game is gonna make us incapable of playing any other games for the rest of our lives... period.

That waterfall at the end? I'm gonna fish there so bad.

EDIT: Not sure if anyone else noticed, but in the middle of the Aetheryte crystal... Was that a little red shard? Looks slightly... Dalamudish.

I noticed it too.

Grats SE on making a NPC that can buy/sell your stuff and repair it! =D

I can't get over how beautiful the game looks. And to think they consider the graphics "rough". I can only imagine how great it's going to look at release.

But once again, the music was my highlight. The part from around 1:20 with the chorus gave me chills.
