Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn HD Vid (Saturday)

In Hall 7 of the exhibition center Yoshida Naoki, producer of Final Fantasy XIV, showed us the worldwide first gameplay material of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. JPGames.de was at the center of it all and brought you one of the first recordings of this world exclusive gameplay. Thanks to technical difficulties amidst the chaos of the crowd of visitors we were forced to record the presentation and with it the gameplay in poor, shaky quality.

Angry with ourselves we decided to go out of our way (and on top of our weekend! :() to visit the exhibition once more to do everything better!

Maybe you won't see nothing new, but i just wanted to redeem myself :o

We would like to present you gameplay fresh from Gamescom 2012, this time in HD and... not shaky!

This way to the new video!
Gameplay starts at 10:00~

I always get my hopes up when I see "A Realm Reborn video (HD)" and it's just another cam version...only not 480p. :c

You won't see what you expect for a while... Presskit doesn't have gameplay vids in it, so the only way was to film everything - i guess that's better marketing then to just show the good stuff right away.

Sry for the deciving thread title i guess but "pretty good quality vid" doesn't sound fancy enough!!!11 :D

wow that presentation in the background was annoying, what the hell did they show that that moron had to make everyone scream over and over again?

i think that was the Capcom stand

So much background noise going on there. But it still the next best ting to being there ourselves. :)

Sounds like Titan is the next primal on the drawing board, followed by Shiva and Ramuh.

The commentary confirmed inclusion of the Juggernauts from FF6, the Crystal Tower from FF3 and some sort of zone from FF7 (couldn't properly interpret it - might have been planet's core?).

Alpha in Autumn followed by Beta in Winter for PC and PS3.

I so wanted a t-shirt.. but getting one was just as bad as the drop rate of this game :( never lucky at those things haha.. nevertheless, it was a very cool presentation, hope it does good.

I think the FF7 zone is supposed to be Gold Saucer.

Yes it was capcom.. any they are anoying often in many places.

That color saturation in this vid wasn't good but it hard to record off a screen.

At least they should the limit break Link ability, Meteor channeled into the BLM by all the party members.

I may have missed someone doing so, but I am surprised I haven't seen anyone mentioned the lack of blinking each time armor is equipped. The pieces just appear on the avatar. With all of the bitching that went on in the beginning of 1.0 about that, I would have thought there'd be more praise for it's absence.

I think it just happened when the video first popped up a couple of days ago, now people just got used to it :)

did they change kitty's tail animation at 2.0?
the brd kitty's tail is more curl up and while running it fly backward... It seems wiggle more when standing straight too...

1.0's paralyzed kitty tail is no fun

It's because the people who were bitching about that are too busy bitching about the grass >.>

I hope you are just trying to ride the cool train and make a joke and not seriously compare the two things.

The best quality I've seen so far. But OMG, he gave away a meteor survivor shirt!!! :0 So jealous.

hopfully positioning weapon skills are still in the game.. i dont know if i remember it right. but hasnt been there an inteview where he says, that they remove positioning combos? :(

i personally like them.

Yeah, from what Yoshi said the pointer is there exactly for that reason.

Anyone notice the clock in the upper right is synced to local time?

This is just a promo build. What is shown does not mean it'll be in the final product.

I know right. The presenter sounded like he was having multiple orgasms at one point.

Thanks for the video! Probably the best one so far ^^

Actually I was being 100% serious that doesn't mean I was comparing the two just implying that its always the same people who bitch about little shit.

Except I wouldn't consider blinking such a small thing. Especially in XIV where equipping a full armor set meant you were blinking like crazy and stuck in a place for a good couple of seconds.

Hahaha I remember capcom shouting messing up my Guild Wars 2 vids I was taking at Comic Con.

I don't know why the ARR panel wasn't in its own room like most cons.

Probably venue limitations. The sorts of places used to run cons differs greatly depending on if you are inside or outside the United States, which run more typically at hotel-based venues. The Kölnmesse is not such a venue.

My guess is that they wanted to approach the public this way, XIV has a bad reputation... Why would someone, other than us of course, want to wait in a queue to see the presentation? That queue would'nt be that long, but after all you would have to go in there in order to glimpse some of XIV ARR contents.

With an open presentation you could motivate the visitors just passing along.

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned the "Moogle Mail Box"! That's a huge step forward for FFXIV!

Considering most of us who play XIV played XI a lot likely weren't surprised given in XI we had universal buddy lists, moogle ran delivery services (of special items) and a regular delivery box lol.
