Infos on the Real game Direction? WHEN?!

[Reika]

What I want to know is what they want for the future of JOBS at least 3 years from launch. Like, how many can we expect to have by then.

I'm really hoping to see some active skill based pvp.

This was in [NDA]. When you first get started, you will have [NDA] that will get you [NDA] with the [NDA] to work in 2.0. So, [NDA] are [NDA] as long as you [NDA].

I hope that helps satisfy the need for new information.

Why is Mikuru Asahina playing a male char in ff 14 XD

The JP and EU Forums don't seem to be concerned over the direction. I think it's to the point we're over analyzing. Yoshi never ever said this would be a WoW clone if he did PLEASE quote it. He said the UI would be similar if I recall properly. If anything it's closer to a GW2 clone with some of the similar systems in place(FATE is my prime example).

are you talking about German/French forums? or EU in general has their own forum?

Greetings,

As mentioned in the Producer Letter, the first phase of the Beta Test will take place in Gridania, and as such will only include the classes that have guilds found within Gridania.

That said, please remember that the Alpha Tester non-disclosure agreement is still in effect, so please refrain from discussion Alpha-related content.

Here we go... so we can't test the other classes till Beta 3 i suppose...

It's pretty ridicolous that in a Beta we can't test all the classes.. i can understand for alpha but for the beta...

"Wait for the beta" eh?

We can test plenty of what they want us to test in just the gridania area :P. But yes, What I REALLY want to test is Gla, mrd, and Thm, but it has to wait til phase 3 which disapoints me so.

I'm so not interested in testing out archer, because we all know archer is really just a musician with a bow in the end :/ /uninterested

Well i think that the zones / content will be the same of the alpha.. plus the FATE system...
Also, we are supposed to give feedback regarding the other classes in the final 2 phases... isn't that too late? *mumble mumble*

[Reinheart]

It's actually only one phase to really test and provide feedbacks...
Wonder how much testing we can do just with phase 3 for the other classes.

Phase 4 is pretty much open beta, and demo for the PS3 players as YoshiP said. (He assumes PS3 players in beta will want to play the game instead of 'test'). Don't think it's good to have major bugs 'if any' in a demo imo. Demo supposed to be appealing and make players 'want' to play more and buy the finished product.

I guess time and players feedback in phase 3 will tell...

Yea it kinda would be too late. It would be way better for us to be able to give feedback on the classes from the beginning, but all we can do even when beta test starts is speculate on the Uldah and Limsa classes/jobs. They could be broken as hell and it would be too late to get any real fixes on them before launch, however Gridania classes they should have plenty of time to fix their brokendness, especially since they should have had some feedback on them in alpha. They must really like Gridania.

Here's hoping for some major battle system revisions. Still can't test much from Phase 1-2 on most classes.
