square enix has released some new information, if you have not already heard, they have released a benchmark to see if ur comp can run it.(i got 2612) the real big updates is that, at least on gamestop.com, the release date is September 22 2010!. they are also releasing a collectors edition. the cool thing about the collectors edition is that you will be able to play FF14 eight days before everyone else.

hope this post was worth while =)

these "buy the collectors for 30 bucks more and you can play a little earlier" things are annoying as shit, because now you have to buy it to enjoy the game... if you're the type that likes leveling and playing with the main crowd

oh well, I hope they fix the controls

We will keep you updated, sir.

I'd play this, shortly after being lobotomized.

pretty interesting tera online combat vido.



pretty nuts mmo race going on right now, really cant wait to see what shit looks like in a year.

That looks pretty freakin awesome.

i wish that they had gone a little bit more detail about whether there will be pvp/ how lving to work... and the speaker was definitely full of himself "i heal during all of the demos cause it's so hard"

Alex, here's the link for the login page for testers:

https://dev-na.ffxiv.com/

can his computer even run it lol

He will find out!

so the general consesus seems to be pretty terrible atm.

-FPS capped at 30 AGAIN.

-combat was sped up but it's still boring as fuck

-lied about there being no levels. (WTF! claim the game is entirely skills based when its clearly not OLZBALLZ)

-crafting is fucking retarded and will not be viable for anyone who isn't already rich

-you can use skills from other classes but they will be extremely gimped. This will make the game even more restrictive than FFXI as everyone will have the exact same cross-class cookie cutter build

-game runs like shit even on amazing comps, the one ting we're likely to see changed, squares usually pretty good at optimization.

Really too bad, I was looking forward to this but meehh, same shit, different graphics.

Didn't have the chance to try this last night...should get to play at least a little bit on Tuesday. Unless Beta's completely different, Alpha ran smoothly on Nel's pretty average comp.

I'm most concerned about the controls. I'll update when we have a chance to actually play them.

I just got in. So Nelly, Alex and myself are all in right now.

I just got in too, but i cant find the download link, or the beta forums.

All this shit.
