New Alpha Video

Though, honestly, I'm glad they're doing these videos. It's controlling my urge to go digging for leaked footage.

At least it's good news for you that you can easily change the equipment for something else. It's after all the starter's equipment. And it's not like every equipment in the game is like that. About 95% of the equips are decent and more suitable.

Edit: Not trying to sound mean, just stating things

hehe nah, you dont sound mean. I know I can just take it off for something else. Honestly cant say I'm a huge fan of the skirt's texture anyway. Looks like they wrapped red cardboard around the miqo'te's waist then drew folds on it.

I must have looked away for a second, because I just now noticed the zone indicator! It's just like Final Fantasy XII! I'm a HUGE fan of the aesthetics of A Realm Reborn! Also, I'm happy to see the cities broken into smaller sections!

inb4 "omg small zones wah"

Haters gonna hate.

YES! FFXII-style zone markers .. <3 <3 <3 :D

[I hated not knowing exactly where the zone was in FFXI.]

The music is nice (obviously inspired by the LotR shire music)

One thing that struck me is the perception of freedom of movement in ARR (esp compared to 1.0). Originally, I was against the jumping mechanic, but I've come around to it within the larger context of ARR.

New Grid looks absolutely fantastic!, I can't wait to see the other cities!!




EDIT: ACTUAL WATER REFRACTIONS! [@1:27]

I am personally DYYINNNNNNNGGGGGG to see LL! D: My beloved city over the water couldn't have faired to well ; ; Please SE show us LL before I *starts to choke on her own blood*

I'd like to note the load times. They are super fast considering I expected more common mmo loads like gw2 or ffxi

Also though the music is nice, I think they could do a bit better with it and please se don't leave those big blue dots in a line to show us zone lines :(

Lol..this explains why when I was watching this vid I was like "man..it feels like I'm in the Shire for some reason and I don't know why!"

Personally i like them, reminds me oh so much of: http://www.skyrender.net/lp/ff12/1-1/65.jpg

Perhaps they could be thinned out, smaller even. But i wouldn't mind if they stayed how they are.

Those are straight out of FFXII. And they are very useful (esp if running from mobs)

Also, you'll notice (@2:24) you don't even see them until you get within 5 yalms of the zone.
