I'm still waiting on the flood XD I wish they'd show the summoner job or any new job lol

[Nuinn]

Blah blah blah. . . . I'm just happy that I saw any new vids, screenies and art, no matter the crappy resolution, pre-alpha build, bad grass and whatever else people keep bringing up.

Sit and wait, and for heaven's sake, find a healthier hobby to pass your time. . . .

These replies really are the worst kind. We've already done the "sit and wait" thing. It's been almost two years of sitting and waiting. In fact we're all masters of the sitting and waiting game. It's our best skill!

God, starting to get worried. My worst nightmare is the game looks great but becomes a FF quest-grind....I HATE quest-grinding. I much prefer party-based monster grind. Guess will have to wait and see. Wouldn't it just be the worst if this game ended up like all other WoW clones...? I prefer the crappy 1.0 to those...

Here is some key Quotes here:

"The current battle system that we have right now is based on TP and the TP fills as you fight. The biggest thing that is going to be different here is that the TP guage will be full when you start combat so you can use skills and weapons right off the bat. And so, in addition to that, the combo system will change and the battles will be more action-oriented because you'll be able to use all of these things from the beginning."

There will be three major storylines included in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. The first is a large, overarching story, one not alike what you find in World of Warcraft. Basically, it covers the Garlean Empire and how they've invaded and how the people of the Realm are attempting to get their Realm back." Yoshida began.

He continued, moving on to detail the second story. "The second story is going to be a story surrounding the Primals which are the summons in Final Fantasy XIV and how there are many different Beast Tribes that worship these Primals and how these Primals, when summoned, drain the lifeforce of the planet. Whenever they're out, they weaken the place. Thus, the second story is going to revolve around how the people of the Realm are fighting the Beast Tribes and how they're attempting to stop the Beast Tribes from bringing this threat to the planet. There's also a bit on how the Garlean Empire is kind of involved in this as well. “

"Finally, we're going to be looking at a continuation of what is going to happen at the end of the current version. A giant entity in the sky, Dalamud, is coming towards the planet and it's threatening all life there. Basically, what's going to happen at the time Dalamud comes and the period after that, we have the story solve all those mysteries that were left untied at the end of the story.

“Of course, the story will be told through many, m any different quests. We have a large number of questions that we will be implementing and these will range from very short quests that will only hint at the background story to very Final Fantasy-esque high quality cutscenes with lots of dialogue and exposition. “
