Gameplay Video ( of the Presentation) is up!

[Chrees]

You're basing this off the engrish right? The last I saw nobody has properly translated it yet. It may well be ishgard but I wouldn't say definitely until it's confirmed.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that "Ishugarudo fortress was destroyed" probably means "the fortress of Ishgard was destroyed."

Plus Jennestia speaks Japanese. So there's that.

I love the new BLM skill at the end of the 2nd video ^^

Assuming this post is serious and not a sarcastic troll, I too am glad it's starting to look like a modern MMO, but there won't be any thanks or tears of joy from me until we know it meets standards *and* surpasses expectations. Simply having modern conveniences is great, but many MMOs have them. What we need out of 2.0 is an FFXIV elevated to match gameplay standards but also differentiate itself and innovate, and the videos so far only imply the former.

Don't get me wrong, that's a good thing, and it will be hard to get the full feel for the game prior to it's release. Vanilla XIV went for innovation and uniqueness at the expense of gameplay, 2.0 needs to nail gameplay but still have an evolution to it, otherwise it's merely gone from poor to average. "Better", but not a true success.

So, at least from me, no tears of joy yet for simply, as far as we can tell, pushing XIV toward mere MMO standards. There's hope, the videos are definitely a step in the right direction. We're still a long way from dumping Gatorade on the dev team, though, because we're not even into the Second Half yet.
