btw "large scale" events like this shows how limited is current XIV engine..Monster/Players appear disappear everywhere, very low draw distance, and very poor total elements on screen....

This situation should improve by a lot in ARR ... (hoping in no PS3 limitation...)

In Ul'dah all it plays for me is the regular city and battle themes.

Plays the theme that played during the Imperial hat event for me along with the battle theme.

PS3 can do much more than what XIV 1.0 did.

They are going into ARR with a different idea than FFXI. For FFXI they wanted all platforms to be identical, which is why we had PS2 limitations. For ARR they are treating PC and PS3 as different platforms with different limitations, which is why they have dumbed down the graphics for PS3, and are using a different UI based around a controller.

I don't think PS3 limitations will be a huge problem in ARR.

Basically all FFXI games were built identical, the game was first built in PS2, then moved on to PC and eventually 360. Even if they did drop the PS2 support, the limitation would still be there because in a sense POL is a glorified PS2 emulator to run FFXI.

Well, I will be over here in this undisclosed location across the ocean, so when Dalamund lands around the General Thanalan/Black Shroud area, I will have a few seconds to think "man that must'av hurt" before the shockwave sends a tidlewave across La Noscea(undisclosed) to send me down to swim with the fishes........ Until ARR

... there's not a single snurbble among them. It's all a ruse. The real foes are hiding where they always hide... silently drawing Dalamud down to the ground with their irresistible cuteness and fluffy white fur.
