New Blog post "Interview with Director/Producer"

They should add those cards to the new Collectors edition.

I'm not too big on the PvP either. I don't mind dabbling in it from time to time, but I sure as heck don't want it to be a major part of the game. I would much rather see their time and resources spent on more PvE content. The Coliseum (or whatever it was called) where players can watch battles take place is about as far as my PvP interests take me. Just my 2 cents.

Personally I would buy the CE again if I the upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 CE doesn't include physical items just for the Card.

I thought that was a snes controller in the blog pic, so obviously the hidden message of the blog post is as follows:

"The game engine has been so friggin' heavily optimised you will enjoy extremely high performance even if you run FF14 on a SNES :-)"

pvp is a good addition to the game, but it should not be a focus to the game. PvE is vastly more important for this game, it sorta depresses me that media was not focused on PvE more. Final Fantasy is all about team work and coming together to save the world more or less not fighting one another.

There are many PvP focused games out there, and many of those games FFXIV:ARR stands 0 chance of competing against simply due to the battle system design. Action mmos are much better for pvp then the old school system which XIV adopted (Which is a good thing in my opinion).

Resolution was pretty low. I'd like to see how the scores do on Extreme Quality.

I was wondering about that. "1280x720 MAXIMUM"... I really hope that does not mean 1280x720 is the maximum resolution for ARR.

I'm considering getting one of those controllers or just a new Dualshock 3. Can't decide which.

DO NOT PURCHASE THAT CONTROLLER!
My wife and I purchased two for XIV1.0 and they always randomly lost connection with their wireless dongle. If you look up connection issues with that specific controller there are quite a few complaints on the Logitech website.

I've been using a Logitech F710 for about 2 years now. You do need to make sure there are no obstructions between the controller and the dongle that might block the signal, but otherwise very happy with it.

Logitech did announce they are going to stop producing many of their accessories (gamepads included): http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/1...e-accessories/

I went out to buy another F710 to keep in case mine ever breaks, because I like it so much.

What kind of Notebook was he running that benchmark on?

Probably meant max. settings at that resolution?

Sorry. Copied it out of a thread a few weeks ago about gamepads and didn't check the link first.

I just Googled it and this is the first link. It's still active at this time: http://gamepolitics.com/2013/01/24/l...s#.USAtWWcRS1k

The second link mentions the F710 as one of the to-be-discontinued console accessories: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...le-accessories

I do hope so!
