What I noticed in the character creation video.

[Elexia]

1. The amazing amount of IMPROVEMENT in character creation. (don't think so? please show me one that looks better)
2. The hard work teams of developers have put in.
3.The large ALPHA symbol denoting things will be added and changed for the better
4. How stunningly beautiful it was!
5. How excited I was that the game is being rebuilt from the ground up.
6. My Appreciation that they actually posted a video for me to watch.


I did noticed flaws (all personal dislikes) but then again this is an ALPHA version and its not me spending countless hours designing a game.

in closing if you didn't notice it before... its still in ALPHA.

2. We can't really determine this until we're playing, but we do know they're making this a standard MMO, so good chance it will play and flow like every other MMO in the past 7 years.

Alpha really means little as you don't really see such a large gap of changes between Alpha and beta (ignoring the obvious), you'll see some different stuff like more shaders and a few more options here and there, but Alpha is pretty much what the final game will be like as the alpha for XIV ARR is a stress test more than a bug finding mission which means they're very confident in the design they have completed.

Btw, there's already a feature in XIV 1.0 that allows you to use other race's hairstyles that isn't active, that will likely be the "more choices for hairstyles" that get put in by late beta or after launch.

what if not? ;XD 1 1/2 years of developing the char editor.. and then they are going to implement the other hairstyles within 2 months till beta oder what? really doubtful.

We have FAR MORE to worry about if they spent longer than a few months on the CC.
