Gameplay Video ( of the Presentation) is up!

[Evenstar]

Just came back home from Gamescom. I attended the FFXIV gameplay demo and it was pretty fun and the game looks amazing.

1) The grass really doesn't look at bad as people make it sound like. It didn't annoy me at all.
2) The jump function is implemented in the best way possible. It looks natural, not annoying. Yoshi sure loved to jump to show how it worked/looked. Yoshi plays the demo version himself every single time.
3) The area looks amazing, no more copy/paste. It looks genuine, feels real and really helps the immersion in my opinion. It got a way more of a FFXI feeling than FFXIV ever had before, which is in my opinion a fun thing!
4) The area the presentation was in was small, but it was full. I think there were around 150-200 people, mostly FF fans.
5) Beta registration was going on in full force, 6 hot blonde chicks were running around with Ipads to help people register for the beta. One of the girls was not that smart, so I had to "help" her out. She was asking people if they were playing FFXIV and when people said "no" she let them walk away. So I asked her if it isn't a better idea to make those people sign-up for the beta too, since it might result in extra players ....

It was fun the see the mastermind behind FFXI: A Realm Reborn, looks and sounds like a really nice guy. Too bad he was gone so fast after the presentation since he had a pretty full schedule.

Oh, forgot to mention. He showed some concept art of Shiva, Garuda, Titan, Ifrit. Also, he showed some concept art for the PvP area that is going to be released in 2.0. I am going to look at my pictures in a bit and see if they are ok to upload.

He moved pretty quick with those concept art shots so I just saw that I only was able to capture Titan

I am uploading some of the pictures now. Kinda sad I missed Shiva She looked nice, not really sexy, but still very cool and better than FFXI from what I could see in those 3 seconds. Sorry again guys, hope someone else was able to capture it.

That's all I needed to know. Thank you very much! And I hope you enjoyed gamescom.

I sure did enjoy! I enjoyed FFXIV: ARR and WoW: MoP stands the most. Not playing WoW anymore, but those guys know how to advertise a damn game. I expected a lot from GW2 too, but SE did a way better job than Arenanet did, so thumbs up to SE!

Here are the pictures that look ok enough to share.

Well done Evenstar . Thanks for all the info, and I'll hold back my jealous rage for not being able to attend.

We wanted to give you guys a peek at the backstage set up they’re using at gamescom 2012!

While Yoshida demonstrates on stage, there are three other team members backstage controlling the other party members that he meets up with in the demo. The bottom three screens you see are for the other staff members, with the raised screen being Yoshida’s character. The large screen in front shows what is currently being shown on the main stage.

They’re currently holding live demonstrations each day at 2:30pm, 4pm and 5:30pm, so I hope you’re all cheering them on through the stress! lol
