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.

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

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

American version:


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.

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!

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.
