Alpha First Look: Video 4 - The Black Shroud II

[Shamdeo]

Masterful stuff, Team XIV. Can't wait to see the other areas.

Wonderful! Each new video that you are showing, shows the great work done by Yoshi-P's team .. I can't wait to return back to the new Eorzea!

[Soukyuu]

The areas are great, can't wait to explore them myself.

*This video showcases locations that will prove difficult to reach at the current Alpha Test level cap (level 20).

Idk about that the music has the behavior is supposed to have and fits the places .
Video looks amazing! I can't believe how much detail everything has nothing looks the same!

But the music is obviously layered on top of the video since it does not cut when the video cuts.

Damn it it's alpha! They've said multiple times animations are not complete

Alpha is the time to make sure you point out things that look like problems. If for some reason they do not see it as a problem then they won't fix it and you cannot assume that anything is considered to be not be final. Being alpha is exactly the reason one should complain, it is easier to fix now rather than later.

Also, that bit about personal attacks you quoted seems inappropriate, because the post you were responding to actually praised the devs but was simply pointing out something which might be changed to make the game better. I would consider that more constructive, and more helpful than "It all looks perfect", which is nice but actually unhelpful to anybody's creative process (although it does help ones self-esteem).

In this vid both characters are Lvl 50 but have a lil bit of EXP gained in the EXP bar at the bottom of the screen. there's also a target EXP, as in 304K points till next level...

Not sure, I might be mistaking but is there a level cap raise? what?

Remember also that the current alpha is capped at level 20, according to Yoshida's post. Yet that character is level 50.
That's obviously a developer account with debugging tools running so they can smoothly travel through the world and there is a chance that the XP values are broken.

Doesn't mean it's not the actual music for the zones. You can hear some of it used as BGM in the live letters.

Might have switched it to the same style as FFXI wherein you can gain XP to lv.51 -1XP. Presumably they set those chars to lv.50 and have killed one mob before the vid started. Most interesting/likely thing I can think of past those chars just being uncapped.

Yay another black shroud vid, I have a whole chair but I'm sure I'll only need the edge...
