Alpha First Look: Video 2 - Gridania

I love it!! Thanks SE~!

Fix the unnatural character movement when panning the camera while stationary and I see nothing wrong with it. Much improved over the current Grid.

Now give me my Alpha/Beta Invite.... DO IT!

Love the Music! Love the Music!
Love the video! I can't wait.

Yes I was thinking the same thing, looks very dull, almost like its going into Autumn or something. Are there going to be season changes?

The music was my favourite bit! It's definitely influenced by "Concerning Hobbits" from the "Fellowship of the Ring" soundtrack, almost to the point of being plagiarism (especially during the playground part), but I don't mind as i love the LotR soundtracks =)

Otherwise, I loved this video. As someone pointed out, Gridania looks kinda the same, but a lot more detailed and vibrant.

Can't wait to see videos from the other citiy-states ^^

By the way, did you guys notice the little boat in the "Transportation" area? Makes me wonder if we can use it to get around in the Black Shroud.

I have just one thing to say: Visible zone lines yus!

Looks great!

Great video of Gridania! I am getting so excited. Thank you for sharing more with us! :)

I kind of hope we have another camera rotating option that doesn't involve also moving the character (I'm pretty sure they will implement both styles, no?).

They moved a handful of places around, chopped the unnecessary trek to the Conjurer's guild and opened up the overlying trees to let the sun in.

Other than that, the buildings don't even look different. Also, where is the Grand Company headquarters?
