Inventory, been said lots of times already and has its own thread

With colors referring to state of gear ie damaged or not.

E3 was overall meh.
Only new game that interested me was Pikmin3.

Going to look into 2.0 now.

Can't be a pet. I don't think they're allowed in the pts? (I could be wrong) but as Exekutor pointed out Lulu is on the Blm job. Kinda hope they give us the option to remove our surnames. Coming from XI I'm just use to seeing single names. Either way no biggie lol.

Ahh! thank you! :)

I hope they continue to trend of using all the assets of previous final fantasies...more moogles...dah...mandragoras...so cute...please don't make me kill them!!!

Waiting for Tonberry!

Your chocobo will eventually be a controllable party member...losing a party member for "pet" control.

With all the E3 announcements and with the WIIU (i'm a nintendo lover) coming this low res screen show alone i think (in MY heart) SE won.

lolol

Craft Power? Even though his name is Zidane the class he's on is Carpenter, so it sounds like they have a TP like concept in mind for DoH.

However, we do not have any plans of linking the inventory slot numbers to their levels, so leveling them up will not yield a greater amount of inventory space.

Yes, maybe!

Ya, it's possible that the "guest" characters we can have will take on different roles so they are easier to setup. I mean it's already done in 14 with those companions we have in the main story, they are the class we pick and have access to all of those class abilities. So perhaps others are thinking to much into it and Lulu is actually one of the players fellowship companions from the story that they are able to use in the open field. Wait maybe that's what C stands for "Companion" lol

Which in FFXIV would be a Retainer, they said they have "other uses" for them in 2.0, Retainers could become Adventuring Fellows like in XI

Yeah.. those i meant.

I believe Yoshi said that there'd be an option to display your last name.

I'm surprised no one's talking about the return of "Cure 2." I thought they were done with tiered progression?

http://www.ffandmore.com/wp-content/..._Dragoon-2.png

Theres nothing stopping them from doing tiers

Cure > Cura > Curaga
Cure II > Cura II > Curaga II etc.

But Yoshi said himself that they did away with tiered progression altogether. It's why I'm confused...

As you all Jizz at the screenshots...if you do a Google news search not even 1 new major site article up yet...only a little mentioning from 1up about how much money Square Enix lost last year...

Even the hype doesn't make the news...E3 is agenda driven...not fan service...

He never said it'd be done away with forever, it can come back as the levels get higher.

Hey !

OP Updated, sorry for the delay!

Actually i really like the screenshots, the landscape looks just awesome!! O.O

Well to make it clear, i´m not dissapointed :) Looking forward for more IG footage and other Infos !

Actually i dont care if it is now on google search, it will be soon, if more infos floating.
FFXIV was a flop and need to show the world its worth a rebirth. Many people cannot do much with screenshots, attention will be greater when a trailer with CGI and IG Footage will be released.
And it must be a very very good trailer to get recognised by the world :o :D

Well, i cross my fingers they make it!

There isn't any info up because they haven't had their press interviews yet.

probably a developer client that doesn't require surname. Or maybe our companions will have a use outside the main scenario

It's either a Pet, NPC or Retainer (if they adjust what a retainer does in 2.0 like they said they will)

The only thing missig is a AH PIC.. they jump,mail, ect..great stuff

Just so you guys know: http://e3.gamespot.com/live-cam-tour/live-cam-day-1/

live cam at SE booth, maybe some XIV action at some point?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVX0OUO9ptU&feature=plcp 326 views... something must be wrong since this is really cool lol

Well, its only been a few hours since its been uploaded, and YouTube views take time to update early on. That's why sometimes videos only have like 400 views and 10,000 likes.



Better question: Why does SE block all their comments?

I find it incredible that SE has been the best thing at E3 this year thus far. I certainly don't speak for everybody of course, but considering the abyssmal displays for some of the other companies, I'm really feeling a good SE Vibe this year.

That doesn't really make sense though...they got rid of tiers and instead everything is scaled based on your level.

The only weird thing is how did they create that monster of a game FF dimensions for american release
JP version:
http://www.square-enix.co.jp/mobile/...about_img1.jpg

American version:
http://ddgmr.droidgamers.netdna-cdn....oid-game-1.jpg

They should have just made it a ds release can't believe they actually accepted those graphics XD looks so childish.

I mean the engine and 14 are awesome so they are 2/3 XD but I honestly can't believe they would showcase something like this, just feels like it's something they let their kids work on for fun.

Updated OP :)

This thread seems to be for SquareEnix at E3 in general. Not just XIV.

A write up of the demo shown today, nothing super interesting but it's something!

http://venturebeat.com/2012/06/05/fi...ble-franchise/

The guy obviously hasn't played XIV at all so it's not very helpful for people like myself, who are more interested in flow of combat, but he did do a nice bit about Yoshi wanting to take all sorts of players, especially western ones, into account when designing content. And he did talk about raising chocobos to take over several roles, mage/item storage being the examples mentioned.
