[NEW Blog Post] THIS IS NOT A TEST

Hello everyone! Fernehalwes back again.
I mean, seriously. I leave Pinurabi alone for one minute, and he’s off gallivanting about, pretending to be King of the Blog. This is simply unacceptable, so to teach the bad boy a lesson, I’ve locked him up in the utility closet where we store all our overstock tonberry plushies. That should give him something to think about.
Now then...
Back on Tuesday, Yoshi-P had everyone on the FINAL FANTASY XIV development team participate in a half-day play test of the soon-to-be-released Beta Version. Sure, it was the perfect chance to sift through the content and find bugs or whatnot, but it was also an opportunity to take a step back and experience the game as players, and that in itself was just plain fun.
In addition to watching a bunch of new quests...
...some of us partied up and tried our hands at the Full Active Time Events (FATE)...



...while some of us did runs through the new instanced dungeons...



...and then there were those of us who just spent four hours in the Adventurers’ Guild harassing that cute Lalafell in the short skirt and high boots.



Good times!
Fernehalwes

FATE system is looking really good!

[Babydoll]

Awesome, can't wait

Fate looks like it should be lots of fun!

[Dragonheart]

I hope they added more skills even to the already existing enemy to make the battle more dynamic!
Like Ifrit's eruption to avoid for archer and magic class too :P

I'm so excited, I can't wait! Hurry up SE, send our invites! :P

So.... When they described the fate of poor Pinurabi, all I could think of was a closet full of tonberry dolls, that behaved like weeping angels from Dr. Who. It was possibly the most terrifying image my mind has ever attempted to conjure.

Now you're just tormenting us...

I like that Lalafell's hairstyle. :O

Looking good SE, keep it up!

Just when I thought I finally contained my over-excitement, Ferne has to go and post this.

*Sarcasm off*

Hmmm, wonder what that FATE mob is...
