oh and here i didnt thought anyone is interested to play the up and coming FF XIV, btw... "some" has begin to get their Beta access beta phase is nearing..

OH it seems someone been keeping it up *cheers* glad to know you guys are still in waiting.

@kevin82
sorry is closed beta first as there's been several *invites* exclusive for the beta, so is a confirm on closed beta first for several months.

@cloudstrife07
Well it is still in alpha/beta version, so I don't tend to judge them now as they are working hard on it now.

@elmostreet
At the moment, no.

@ichigo_6091
They have yet to say anything about that, but if you really want to know, is the standard as the regular mmo = usd 15.00.

@Edison83
Well that because the beta is not on yet.. rofl.

You guys should not be worry about the scores.

Huhu, i do not know about you guys... but i'm pretty much going to try using unifi playing FFXIV xD

No is called the ATB battle system, where you are given a gauge, which is has similarity with FFxiii, but differ as in the mechanics of the game. The E3 shows are upgrades from the release Alpha versions, the Alpha is much much slower than what was shown in E3. The newer one is much faster. It is real time, just that ever command will deplete the gauge and will need to wait for it to regenerate, althou if you have a lancer in your party, your gauge will be filled faster. Allowing more commands to be execute.

Since there is no more auto-attack, you basicly need to key in the slash/stab command which are the normal attacks or white damage. Is not really that lame, just different from another traditional MMORPG.

Is more on to skill chain.

He was talking about Last Remnant. not MMORPG.

I do not think the damage will be that high and of course there will be HNM that will surely surpass the 9999 hp barrier, is a MMORPG lol! not a single player game. But surely you get achieve more than 9999 damage thou. which if you are able to crit damage that is.



What SE is achieving is different from other, yes, it may has some similar system to others but the battle system is totally different and to me is excellent system, very differ from the normal button smashing. Oh remember! Traditional MMORPG has Auto-Attack, but FFXIV does not have Auto-Attack!

We are being fed with the usual MMO which consist of fast pace action, but this game is fast, but not in the same term as fast action like any other MMO, which is unique to the point of being different.



You will grow stronger as you level up, and will do more damage with more party in you.



Obviously if you are soloing and not a Lancer class, you will get the slownest ATB gauge regenerating, having Lancer will boost up the ATB regenerations. Did you see the E3 videos or did you see the Alpha videos? as both are very different system now. What i see in the E3 video, the speed is just about right. Not too slow, not too fast. If you happen to play FFXI, then you will understand the battle system a little bit.




We dont know that as the game has not come out yet.

oh btw...

Not to mention the Job system is complex, which you can be what ever you want from the 4 disciple.
Leveling in FFXI take ages ~_~ so FFXIV will definetely going another way around but a bit more tougher. Also remember that XIV is different, having a Job Complex system where you can be almost anything you want in the 4 Disciple will be a little tough to handle.

Before i go on rambling, Do you know aside from killing monsters to level up and get phatz lootz, you are also able to levelup in a different manner of leveling? let say you do a guild leve for Culinarian and you grow as a Culinarian. Being a Harvester will grow your character stronger in only doing Harvesting.
*this is a speculation but the way it seems to go and the sauce i gather has been making it looks like that*

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.

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.

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.

Dont worry about the benchmark as you see above the minimum spec is posted.

The benchmark is just a test, dont be bothered by it.

uhmm real time as what i can see in the video just that it's using the ATB gauge to execute commands.

I did, and if you spend more money on the delivery it will arrive on time, but if you're using the free delivery air-mail, might arrive within 2 weeks.

i tried too but even with courier i will be late for a few days off. like say 3-4 days late, but i dont mind really im more into the item they offers.

@mengdez, i dont see gamers.com.my selling any FFXIV CE there nor the PCgamers.com.my are slow too. they haven't even notice yet *sigh*

unless you're saying Software Boutique xD they still dont have the CE thou.

CE has also Security Token, 30-days free play time, and other additional goods, also if you choose courier to send to your house ASAP you get to atleast play much earlier than others by 4-5 days earlier depend on how fast the shipping is.

Which the standard edition doesn't have, only the goggles.

a side note that NA and EU CE come with differences, being that you ordered EU, you get the nifty tumbler.

can i have your source of information regarding the 30 days free time? Because i have browse both their NA and EU official site only the Collector Edition has the 30-day free play time.


Is only matter at the first. there is no ending.

One thing where is your source on Monthly Cards? there is no source for that to be claim true. Only way by now is via Credit Card Subscriptions.
