New Screenshots from E3

[Velhart]

I am extremely impressed on how the game looks and can't way to see it at it's best. 2.0 I believe is going to be a good time for all of us looking forward to it. Can't wait to hear the interviews.

I think a lot of you gonna disappointed in content cause i don't think there will be much cause 2.0 is catering for new players and for most them everything is gonna be new. They have a few new contents planed but most of it seems to be old stuff we have now also.

as long as theres stuff to do thats NOT endgame thats all we need for the high levels. not everything has to be a grind or a boss fight.

Actually if you look at the screens carefully, it looks like parties are going to get reverted back to 6 people again. Notice how in the shots with 4 players there is greyed slots 4 and 5 and another character in slot 6 but nothing below that. Wonder if Yoshida plans to return to the FFXI formula of 6 person normal parties and 18 PC alliances. (He did confirm a while back that large scale battles more then 1 group is coming, how when is still unknown.)

This is wonderful news

There will probably be 8 party slots still, but in 2.0 you can move players to any party slot you like so they must of moved player 3 & 4 to spot 5 & 6, otherwise on the solo screenshot there would be players 2,3,4,5,6 greyed out and there isn't.

Can we see a PS3 screenshot?

I want to see that UI. I still hope we can get a classic battle menu for the gamepad version. I don't care if it is optional.

Not quite sure if anyone pointed this out of if the Devs mentioned anything about this earlier, but in the picture with the DRG fighting the Coeurl, notice one of his party members has only 1 name. Does that mean we finally have the option to choose only 1 name? I was never really a fan of the surnames.

There may be a way to display only first names... but in the case of this SS, I think it's just because Lulu does not have a last name in X as far as I can recall.

I think I'm more excited then I was the months leading up to September 22 2010.. Upgrade my high-end PC to a higher end? Im thinking about it!!

Hi All,

Now that I've recovered from the initial excitement, looking at the screenshots & art, there's definitely so much potential for 2.0!

Some thoughts:

• The New 2.0 World Redesign / Maps look AMAZING!

• I love the "Aquatic Town" (which looks like a super-amped up version of Gridania)! It's distinctive, has a nice layout and features a better integration into the "Nature" facet.

• The Chocobo Ranch looks great! Hopefully it means we get a good Chocobo Raising System like Final Fantasy VII's (and that we can race them in Gold Saucer)!

• New Famous / Recognizable Final Fantasy Mobs like Fenrir, Tiamat, Typon & Cait Sith bodes well for potential challenging battles!

• New Real Time Shadows & Lighting Model: And the new Real Time Shadows & Lighting look wonderful. I love how naturally the shadows & things fall off the Chocobo and Characters!
  
  This is a return to the more "realistic Final Fantasy" look that XIV launched with. So that should assuage some of the worries some had about SE maybe going "too WoW" (when they saw the more extreme / hyperbolic designs like the Pugilist "Brick" Weapons, etc.).

Overall, this is a great update and morale boost for Final Fantasy XIV and its future, and I can't wait for 2.0!
