Hi welcome, As of now there is beta going on, but when release yes new players need to buy the box/game and also monthly subscription.

Yeap is pretty similar to Rift than GW2's.

Yay, Finally a date to look forward to: 25th Feb

Now I can get ready to dump RO2,
Geez. seriously, when you start comparing the developers. Square Enix is so much better.
At least they test the damn raids themselves first before making it available to public.

lol stop comparing with f2p xD

f2p cause they are not confidence enough in their product!!

INTERVIEW WITH THE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR

Hello everyone! Pinurabi here, making my second media tour post from San Francisco, where the sun shines and information flows.

This time I’d like to write about the interview sessions between Yoshi-P and members of the gaming media. As you might expect, the matters discussed varied between interviewers. Some were treated to a demonstration of the FATE system on Yoshi-P’s notebook.



While others received a preview of the soon-to-be-released benchmark software. That score... It's over NINE THOUSAND!



I should mention here that Yoshi-P is utterly unstoppable in interviews. The man talks about whatever the heck he wants—like a boss. The interviewer just needs the skillz to fish the info out of him. It may interest you to know that a lot of questions were about PvP—quite representative of our North American players' tastes.

In the last picture we have the spiffy FFXIV: ARR USB memory cards prepared especially for our media guests. Each comes preloaded with a goodly amount of assets for use in articles and so forth.



...No, they're not for sale.

And on that note, I shall go and pack my bags─I fear our short but memorable time in San Francisco has come to an end. Thank you for having us! Next stop: London!

Pinurabi

For those who know where to get FFXIV 1.0 keys and have it availble (Recommend you NOT TO BUY digital key). Can try your luck to buy one on the net if still available

Which Sony laptop model Yoshi is using??!!! Looks like a 13 inch laptop... Win 7 type... and the benchmark score is from a desktop or laptop? Btw... 9k points for 720p... if 1080p then it's a different story LOL....

EDIT: a Sony Vaio S 13P... nVidia GeForce GT 640M LE

Thid video when I watch it, the harvesting looks like spoon fed

Can even choose what to harvest when you chop a tree ? During the old days its random...

Im not sure how gathering chance yet thou may see it as alpha. I'll give comment on it later when beta start.


Beside 1.0 gathering pretty much the same u can know which item u want base on the notch and hit area u pick. Nothing diffrent because there is no randomness.

Only diffrence i see is that they remove the mini game lol

hi. sorry. this game is p2p or f2p.

When I say randomness because I still think of the system like FFXI. Feel like no excitement if you can see what you will get when you make your first strike on the node.

By the way, is it all legacy player will only need to pay USD9.99/month when FFXIV 2.0 comes out ?

Thanks...

yes. Legacy will be paying 9.99/mo that is the same benefit as the standard level 14.99/mo

Shoji, thx for the replied.
