ah nvm then :)

Kind of amusing to see a perspective on the game from someone completely unfamiliar with FFXIV and its history. Definitely looking forward to people who have the context to compare 2.0 and tell us what we're interested in, though. Nice to see that writeups are starting to go up though, hopefully we'll see some good stuff soon.

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.

"The story of Final Fantasy XIV revolves around the city of Aorzia, which is being invaded by the empire to the north."

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

Or perhaps the return of your path companion?

Arizona, I think they're hinting that Dalamud is actually Arizona and Eorzea become influenced by Arizona but rather then call themselves Arizona they decide to combine the name into Aorzia and ditch the n since it still kinda sounds like Eorzea.

I kid of course lol. Though I wonder where they got that spelling from it's that how it sounds when said A-or-Z-a.

Well on mmorpg someone mentions that the way it's spelled in japanese makes it sound like "AY-OH-RU-ZAY-AH." So if the reader only heard it, it is natural that that's how they would spell it since Eorzea sounds more like Eh-or-zee-ah. Aoruzaah, think that's how I would spell it if I heard it in japanese lol.

We’ll soon be releasing screenshots and videos showcasing the new graphics engine, which will be optimized to support both high- and low-end PCs. I trust you won’t be disappointed with that, nor the PS3 version.

From the last letter. I am wondering when we are able to see that stuff. I am so hyped!

I´m very sorry for the inconvinience!
FFandmore had to take down the FFXIV 2.0 pics due host problems
If anyone have a copy and could up them somewhere it would be awesome

http://www.ffworld.com/?rub=news&page=voir&id=2285 this site has the pics.

Thank you very much!

I have my fingers cross.
