That music is really soothing.

WHM relic glows on his back in passive mode- wish they would have switched to BLM to see if it does the same thing...

wow I love this god I am so jealous of the JP players now =(

I'm so stoked for 2.0 now *_____* lol, this vid is wonderful! I am hoping that there are maybe some more color options for hair coming in the future, but for now it's looking really great!

Jealous about their testing or jealous because you want to play? xD

Is it weird that I pretty much expect links to be a Rick Roll now? I am glad this isn't one!

Thanks for the link! :D

EDIT:
Is the "build" option seriously just bump mapping? Females get actual bigger bewbz, but males stay the same shape...with more "defined" features?

Life is so unfair... :(

The "Build" Option was a huge disappointment but the rest are nice.

I'm digging the new face paint option.

Name change! Hyuran! XD

Very epic, there is also a official forum for this. (i expect more as a forum was created just for alpha vids)

Looks really nice all and all. Reps have stated more options will be put in. I would like to see more hair. Also the class part at the end where they put people in full class gear with relics is so misleading.

Nope. It's swatches.

CC runs so smoothly too! This is a good sign things are going smoothly. May see beta on time or even quicker, the way it's looking.

Not bad ^-^ seem's like the old stuff to me.

The first thing that jumped out at me was how absolutely smooth it all looked. Things happened instantly... I'm so giddy right now it hurts.

What did they improve, I just saw more boobs?

They said the 29th, but Always on the Letter of Producer thats JP time, right now it's just about to be the 29th, in which case it's the 30th there. So yes the Alpha has commenced! :D

What really struck me about this video was the animations. I will confess to being in the "these animations look rough" crowd, but this video put my worries to rest. What spectacular animations. I particularly liked the blinking, as simple as it was. The entire face shifted correctly with the blink, not just the eye. All in all, super stoked from this video.

I meant, in terms of customisation options. Noticeable changes were more boobs, longer tails, possibly more voices.

I guess I just thought they would be adding more hairstyles and things that matter.

He does have a point though..for the Miqote nothing is really "new". There is a few things but most of the options seem like same as current one xD I mean don't get me wrong everything looks amazing! But as for new stuff...I think they are saving it for the beta :) *dreams of long hair*

There will be more. Patience young padawan...patience.

Normally in Alpha/Beta there are things that are locked, like some of the Classes were, locked.

I was quite surprised at the amount of Customization in each section. Voice section had 12 sections! right now we have what? 3? That's quite a big Jump!

Edit: Just seeing that the CC was VERY smooth, lets me know that the networking crew really did their job correctly this time around. I am very pleased about this!

I noticed the voices. I didn't notice any locked-out hair styles though, so there's a possibility there won't be any more at release. Guess we'll have to wait.

Well, that's also why there is an Alpha/beta Forums, for where people can say ( there's not enough Hairstyle/Colors etc), even if they already have more that's there, it would be nice if people would speak up about problems ( even if they don't exist)

People who speak up about problems are called QQ'ers, complainers, or whiners round e're

Yes it would be nice if people spoke up about problems.

This looked amazing, truly amazing. My only gripe at the moment with it is the amount of hairstyles available. Grant it, this is alpha and perhaps they have some locked. Regardless, just in case and for the record, Please add more hairstyles SE. Other than that, this was a real treat and its looking very very verryyy good :)

I call all that " beating a dead horse" :P. to me ppl that QQ Complain or Whiners Generally, don't know when to give up on a particular subject that's been beaten to a pulp. That's my defination of QQ/C/W.

Nothing wrong with complaining though, just people need to know when to stop.

it looks so amazing !! :) and its not even done yet just alpha ;p

I squealed at the amount of voice options for Miqo'te. I've gotten used to my Girls-Gone-Wild voice option now, but seeing all those voices... That's pretty impressive.

Sorry to burst your bubble (and I don't even want to complain or anything) but you are reaching reaaaally far here :p
