Gameplay demo at Gamescom needs to be Super-Duper-Ahmazing

[Kailok]

I agree. The Gamescom demo needs to be a huge deal. I'm talking a VERY in-depth look in the world that is being Reborn. When the ArenaNet devs did demos for Guild Wars 2, there were 45 minute demo videos going around on youtube showing people playing.

Please let people post their own videos of their gameplay if you let them try it at Gamescom. The world needs to start seeing the game soon. It can't continue being a sort of secret as far as showing it off goes.

I NEED IT ;-;

I want to see if the BR system is at least as smooth as XI's SC system was since he referenced that in one of the Japanese interviews.

i've got my fingers crossed for a Chrono Trigger style BR system. warrior initiates an axe combo > paladin joins with a few sword swipes > some sort of shared animation, maybe war gives paladin a boost up in the air, paladin comes stabbing down on the mob for critical damage :3 HNGGGGGGGHHH i don't care about latency issues, i can dream can't I?

My concern is not latency issues, but I think the lag when opening closing NPC stores, or selling items. I'm not sure if latency and that lag is the same thing. Almost every MMO out there don't have this issue. I can sell 50 items at NPC within 1 minute. 1 click per second. In FFXIv, it's like Click > wait. wait. wait> boom sold. Or opening NPC store, Click > wait. wait. wait. wait > opened.

I expecting Chrono alike 'battle regimen' with millions of chains and spectacular effects.

yeah i know what you're talking about. i'm 100% certain this will be resolved in XIV. I think a dev even commented on how much more fluid selling items was now, I'll see if I can find it.

can't wait for next week.. I hope in some real action, expecially on the new BS , and i really hope that it will looks much faster and dynamic..

They really should have different gameplay presentations. One to show the normal grind to 50, and another to show the endgame. Or maybe do a skip of a Crystal Tower floor, or something.

Im keeping it real, and do not have high expectations.

What I am looking forward to most is all of your posts after Gamescon.

PLease be as honest about your feelings after Gamescon as you are being right now. lololololololol That will be a treat.

It won't be action based -- they did say it will be more dynamic but he emphasized he doesn't want FFXIV to turn into an Action Game.
