Did anyone see those screenshots?

Still watching the gameplay video, which is noice, but man.. the fear of what jumping would do is seen first hand. Forevermore..shall we have derps and derpettes flopping around like a bunch of fish out of water just because they can.

I do like, however, that you can scale obsticles like those stacked crates or fences with the jump feature. That's cool.

I'm throwing my money at my screen but nothing's happening! D:

Time to spend an entire day holding the jump button while on a chocobo and giggling with glee until my eyes explode.

They were, and still against gear swap in battle, for gods sake.
No, that should be the "mannequin system" they said time ago, aka sets of equips. They don't even take space in inventory

No they weren't, and I do hope they do allow us to swap gear. The way it is right now, new gear will always either be worthless or rend earlier gear (and content, most likely) dated and probably obsolete.
The way this was handled in XI even allowed much older stuff to still remain relevant, which could be nothing but a good thing, most hard earned stuff still remaining relevant and, you know, useful, instead of just becoming convertible into materia. This would also give you a lot more to do, since there would always be a piece that would be more ideal for this or that setup, AND that would also mean more time invested in the game, which equals to more money for SE. It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

And I just noticed. Does anyone think the visual direction of the UI seems too...futuristic for this setting?
Kinda looks like something I'd see from 13.
Oh, I hope we get styles to choose from like in 11. That would be rad.

I hope so, too.

Hello all!

Fernehalwes from the Localization team here.

There's been a lot of speculation regarding the caption of one of the art assets released today, so I wanted to chime in and help try to clear things up.

The caption in question describes the art as 破壊されたイシュガルドの要塞. This has led to translations such as 'destroyed Ishgard fortress'. The problem here is that due to the complexity of Japanese grammar, that is not the only possible interpretation.

The following, while completely different, are both acceptable translations:

[破壊されたイシュガルド](の要塞)
(Fortress of) [destroyed Ishgard]

(破壊された)[イシュガルドの要塞]
(Destroyed) [Fortress of Ishgard]

But wait, there's more!

The の here can either represent the possessive, as in:

イシュガルド[の]
[of] Ishgard

Or it can be used to change a noun into an adjective

イシュガルド[の]
Ishgard[ian]

Considering all these things, as well as the context, probably the best representation of the original Japanese is:

"A destroyed Ishgardian fortress."

I hope that helps a little!

Just wanted to quote this so it appears on the Dev Tracker!
LOC droppin' them LOC bombs again at 2am JST! Pow!

I'd like to point out to people that there actually is long hair already in FFXIV. Or are people forgetting this hairstyle. So don't get your hopes up about getting that dreamy long hair.

Oh haha to me that is short XD But yea its long compared to the other hairstyles..however! I was referring to this artwork:



You can see in the drawing her hair is past her waist..now THAT is long I'll be a Rogadyn if that is the only way for me to have waist hair lol hopefully though its available for other races too ^^
