Well the best thing is we can be anything we want, we can level the way we want to be.
The battle wont be that slow. Enemy wont be hitting you 3 time while you hit 1 time. Is never going to be that way. It will execute the command when you have enough ATB gauge and TP gauge.
We cant judge anything yet in this stated unless is already release or open beta. Not much information on this game because is sealed tight lips.

A Official Final fantasy XIV youtube video comparison of Alpha and Beta. You'll see the difference in lightning, the new depth of field effect added under options, and the faster battle system.

QUOTE
Final Fantasy fanatics willing to pay $25 will be able to access the game eight days ahead of the masses, courtesy of the early access codes included in the $75 collector's edition of the game. (Square Enix did add the caveat that "timing of access subject to initial server capacity.") Besides the game disc and manual, included will be the following cache of goodies:
A behind the scenes DVD with the obligatory documentary on the making of the game.
A travel journal with concept art pages in which players can document their in-game wanderings.
An in-game item called the "Onion Helm."
A fully personalized "Right of Passage" certificate.
Special cover illustrated by artist Yoshitaka Amano.
A FFXIV-branded security token for use with regular password.
Recommended spec?

PC version hitting European shelves on September 22nd; PS3 SKU arriving March 2011
Square Enix has announced that the PC Collector’s Edition version of MMO Final Fantasy XIV will be released in Europe on September 22nd. The standard SKU will hit retail on September 30th.
The PS3 version of the game will not be released until March 2011, with pricing to be announced at a later date.
The PC Collector’s Edition includes a behind-the-scenes DVD, a special branded security token, a FFXIV branded tumbler, map, a travel journal including concept art, the Onion Helm in-game item, a 30-day free trial period for the game and a pass that allows a guest to play for free for a limited time.
The monthly subscription fee will be £8.99 (€12.99) with additional characters available for £2.10 (€3.00) a month. A maximum of eight characters can be registered on any one account.
Each account is eligible for one free retainer (a non-playable character that maintains item sales and storage when users are logged out) with each additional retainer costing £0.70 (€1.00).
A beta version of the PC game will go live some time in early July. It will become available to pre-order with key retailers at some point today. Those who pre-order will receive another in-game freebie – a pair of Garlond Goggles that increases the speed at which characters progress.
Those who register their FFXIII Campaign Codes will receive the Asuran Armguards DLC, an extra that improves the effectiveness of tools.
“This September, players around the world will join together to explore the fascinating and exciting realm of Eorzea,” the game’s executive producer Hiromichi Tanaka stated.
“We’re presenting players with a new style of online gameplay, that we know will please avid fans of online games, but welcome more casual gamers as well with the variety of gameplay and story-driven content.”
The specs for the PC version are as follows: Windows XP/Vista/7, Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz or AMD Athlon X2 2GHz, 2GB of RAM, 15GB HDD space, NVIDIA GeForce 9600 512MB or ATI Radeon HD 2900 512MB and DirectX 9.

The first steps players take into the world of Eorzea will be wide ones, as Square Enix reveals two September release dates for Final Fantasy XIV on the PC; one for the normal edition, and an earlier one for the lavish collector's edition.
That's right, Final Fantasy XIV for the PC is coming out on September 22 in collector's edition form, and again on September 30 as a standard edition release. Why the discrepancy? Because Square Enix is smart.
Most MMO games these days offer early access in some form or another, and Final Fantasy XIV is no different. Fans that purchase the collector's edition will score a free week of game play. Unlike other MMOs, which make players download the entire game client online in order to participate, Final Fantasy XIV gives its early access players an actual disc. Good on them!
While an eight day head start is more than enough to justify the extra $25 for the collector's edition in many fans' eyes, Square Enix has loaded up the $75 box with exclusive goodies. Here's what's inside:
In-Game Item – Collector's Edition preorders will include a reward code to receive an exclusive in-game item, the Onion Helm.*
Early Access– Play 8 days prior to the release of the Windows PC Standard Edition (timing of access subject to initial server capacity).
Behind the Scenes DVD – Get an insider look at the making of FINAL FANTASY XIV, with exclusive video content, interviews and more in this special documentary DVD.
Security Token – A FINAL FANTASY XIV–branded Security Token for use with your regular password.
Travel Journal – Record your travels in this beautifully bound journal filled with pages of never-before-seen concept art.
Right of Passage – Redeem a voucher to receive your fully-personalized Right of Passage Certificate, each stamped with a unique serial number.
Amano Cover – Special PC Collector's Edition illustration by renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano.
That's a rather nice deal. Plus, everyone who buys either version will of course receive one free month of play, before having to pony up the lower-than-average $12.99 a month subscription fee.
And in case this wasn't enough good news, the beta test for Final Fantasy XIV is scheduled to begin early next month, and next month starts *checks watch* tomorrow.
Both versions of Final Fantasy XIV for the PC are now available for preorder at most major retailers.
Yea i hope so...used to play ff11 and quit due to huge time commitment... Hopefully SE introduce gamecards or something.
Please do post info on how to order CE in malaysia
Yea i tried on amazon, it take me 7-8 days with courier after the game is released. But i can assure you that the CE is not available in malaysia at all. I tried keep coming back to Youbeli.com to get it but they say "Go and check their official webpage". They are damn slow in this pre-ordering thing zzzz.
----
I might canceling my amazon, and going for play-asia.com as i seen they up for the normal package. waiting for the CE package.

Look at the battle scene, can this game pvp at all?
You're looking at the wrong game then. FFXIV is like FFXI, where it does have PvP, but wont be like what you've been playing on. It's says that Ul'Dah the city where Arena Pit Fight and Gambling most occurred. So they might be or may be a monster arena fight or PvP fight or something.

Yeah, i have a check through the site, it is not pvp orientated, more likely toward pve, it suit me well though. Just have a another check on benchmark, just score 2767 on low setting.
Will get a copy for sure.

Dont worry about the benchmark as you see above the minimum spec is posted.
i wanna ask, is the benchmark the actual ingame graphics? Because it is kinda... dated seriously. I thought the screenshot looks much more better, how come the benchmark is so so only? I am very interested to play but after looking at the benchmark, like kena potong stim eh lolz..
