Alpha First Look: Video 2 - Gridania

[Deceptistar]

The first thing i noticed is that the camera movements are locked on to the characters back. Meaning we would have to right click and turn the screen to see our characters front side. Really not a fan of those sort .....

the music itself is wonderful. But within the game i feel its not one that would make a lasting impression, like a 'signature' tune. Take windy for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEWeTsJV5Q4

I also noticed this. I also love "Windy" (Final Fantasy XI OST - The Federation of Windurst ). You can listen to that one for hours. I think the music in Grid Alpha was meant to build excitement but it would be better if it was just good listening music.

Video looked great (Minus the spinning on the spot while panning the camera) but I instantly lost a lot of love for this game when I noticed you can now jump...

Why would you lose love for the game because you can now jump? I understand not wanting FFXIV to be too much like other MMOs out there but jumping is a BASIC necessity that is found in almost any game and should have been found in offline FF games a long time ago. This one is a no-brainer.

quick question; Will the official verison have such a blurry camra turn like in these Alpha Videos? I am wondering cuz it hurts my eyes but other then that looks great!

Best possible way Gridania could be presented in all it's glory i'm very impressed only recognized the start of video from 1.0 Gridania lol the rest is fully new i love it ^_^ and the music goes perfect with it.
ppl need to realize the sluggish moves from 1.0 were just a pebble in their shoe and if we lose them will be a insignificant price to pay for all we getting in exchange

Very nice! I was worried that everything would change drastically, but it looks like we won't be getting completely lost while exploring the new city. I wonder if the frontier areas will be getting similar treatment.

5 years into the future and those children STILL aren't good at balancing on stumps. >.<

I was glad to see the kids in the Acorn Orchard back, but... yeah, I also noticed they don't seem to be any older, even after 5 years...!

I hope there'll be an explanation to this. On a similar matter, I never understood how, for instance, Lalafell children look exactly like Lalafell adults...
