its on 10th schedule alpha testing atm with 3 days gameplay time for collecting feedback and bug report, there is official benchmark out on nvidia and ff14 website now.

my gtx480 score only 4600 ish which puts it just above requirements.......... be prepare to buy a ps3 or a new pc lol ; ;

It's announced as pc and ps3 exclusive, but doesn't mean 360 won't get it just probably later?

Beta will be out in 1 month according to them, not too sure if it's open beta since they only mention they will open up more slots so more pol can try it out. Hope they will optimize the engine more though not everyone has such high spec pcs.

looks similar but beta is said to improve the graphics quite a bit especially rocks and environment.

im currently in the alpha and as far as i know we will be auto invited when the beta is out.

alpha build is severly limited though tons of graphic glitch lol.......... and can only play for 4 hrs ; ;

while it is true that the benchmark is based on the alpha code they might optimize it more, but they are also adding ambient occlusion and a new shadows rendering into the new build so it will most likely up those system requirements if u want to turn everything on.

keke yea apparently its a game that can use up to 4 cores directx9 and does better on the hd5000 series.

i dont know y but gtx400 series and games with older engine just runs slower...

7-9 is story driven single player with fixed path progression.... mmorpg is different.

it cant play like any one of those cause if u do endless combo and hit for 9999 dmg then there is no point since the enemy cannot fight back and it wont pose any challenge once u hit the lvl cap and get the best equip.

this game probably not gonna suit u then ^^; ;

SE already mention distance and strategy is the key to this game, havent personally play ff13 but i dont think u need to re position urself and use much strategy.

should mention this, it likely wont be comin to the 360.......

i found out u can force full screen by putting d3d9.dll into the winbenchmark folder, u will get a score boost and also its been reported to work with sli and crossfire due to full screen, anyone care to try i sold my hd5870s.........

beta download started cant wait till can play ^^.

its written on the box usually EU has a UK flag somewhere on the box.

beta starts next week wut sucks is u still only get 4 hours slot on certain date for phase 1.........

i wish they r not using torrent distribution like in the beta.... its painfully slow ; ;

i mean for updating ; ; imagine later on when the update files grew larger and downloading at 6kb is just ............
