Actually, it wasn't! I was saying I had a peek at Famitsu during lunch at work, has a bunch of info on FFXIV. Shows Ps3 version and it's new interface. Looks fantastic. I can't really notice the difference in quality between PC and PS3 but then again it was only a glance a la. tachiyomi. I'll buy it on the way home and get some info out if no one beats me to it, which they probably will.

Siliconera has a small tidbit on it: http://www.siliconera.com/2012/10/09...other-tidbits/

EDIT: I'm not entirely sure the image in there is the PS3 version though as it has Gamescom character names. Perhaps they can't post the true images until the magazine goes on sale.

Sorry you'll have to wait. I'm back at the office until 19:00 JST at the earliest (being the later half of the year it'll probably be 21:00 finish). Also, I haven't checked but it's generally not accepted to post scans and the likes on forums like this. Not to fret though, I'm guessing SE will put out a public release tomorrow perhaps? (this is when Famitsu goes on sale usually).

Courtesy of twitter/2ch.

Graphics are at a level that unless you really concentrate you'll not notice the difference between PC/PS3.

On the Cross Hot Bar you can put skills, items and macros.

Can control with d-pad and L2/R2.

Can use this control scheme on PC also. Sorry that's all for now I should get some work done.

** I personally never done Ifrit extreme mode my self so I'm not sure what this one is talking about, just translating it directly.

Blue text in diagram
left side text: basically run in clockwise direction
right side by #4: Run anti-clockwise only when it pops directly across.

Blue text on bottom:
PC needs ro run on the outer edges to dodge crijmson.
Basically run in clockwise direction.
when across from #1 then run anti-clockwise to dodge.
Increase the camera movement speed, remember to detect quickly and start moving quickly to dodge.

Black text:
Side (distance) of the attack is pretty wide, When standing by the flame and get hit you will take about 1900 damage along with DoT damage for 75dmg/3sec lasting 3 minutes. This can be erased with Esuna spell.
Will come in clockwise order of 1,2,3, and 4
For damage timing - even if you touch ifrit if it's the one not moving then you wont get damage.
There is no position where you can stand still to dodge them so you will have to be moving at all time.
If 2 horns are down then #4 wont happen.
When 2 horns are up then you can't avoid #4

Red text:
After cyclone end and lands the hate is reset
(if you want to avoid it you have do it before it lands)
After landing it will target one player and will use incinerate once. When you take incinerate the person targeted becomes human bomb and deal heat damage around him/her. This damage deals around 300 damage to both targeted player and players near by lasting 30 seconds.
The hate resets so don't use cure, potions, healing wind and such.
After incinerate until the tank gets enough hate should avoid curing (Paladin use it's skill + cure is OK)
Esuna, Regen, Stoneskin wont get as much hate so to survive use these.

Thanks a lot Rein! I appreciate you going through the trouble of translating it. It's common sense stuff once you've done the fight a few times, but glad to know there isn't any secret info :P
