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...

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...

Quote from Shojikun in Sai86 notes sounds like Shojikun is hiring mercenaries

The offer very tempting though

Beta phase 3/4 already ?

Maybe after mid year might launch already...before Christmas...

After seeing all your benchmark looks like I need to fork out RM2k++ to get those rating...

Currently still using Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz with GTX460...

During 1.0 I run the game on low setting only can move normally...if medium can feel its a bit slow my lalafell

You mean use SSD hardrive for Window 7 OS inside and install FFXIV ARR inside also ?

Just finish testing with the default Max and High setting benchmark...can't believe it... during 1.0 running at max in real game already can feel a bit slow end up setting it to low setting only can run smooth...

During this ARR benchmark, low activity area the score run like you are pumping petrol ! but at places with a lot of activity it moves like snail

My GTX460 has only 768mb ram, my pc with 4gb ram...beside this I had my old Geforce 8600GT inside my pc too (forgotten what is the reason I ask my pal to put it in, just remember it helps to make those bit and pieces flying around nicer)

Hi,

How's the graphics if I may ask... you are using i7 and GTX460 (is it 1gb ram) so just wonder if everything is ok... do you run at maximum in game now ?

Trying to use your pc spec as benchmark

You can take her see big fat dodo in FFXIV...

You are right, I am planning to buy the processor chip, ram, mobo... but the ssr disk is really expensive compare to a 1TB hdd...

Later in "future" only think about graphic card.

How many of you guys is in masamune (oceania/sea ?) or other server ?

This will be your target server during launch too ?

True also... I'm mostly solo but sometimes still need LS member to help out in quest or gear...

Is there a list here showing all player names, their job and their race ? It will be good during launch to seek you out

Most important a must have thing is the Auction House !!!

Yay ! Just like the good old days in FFXi.

Guess Nobuo Uematsu not the composer for ARR this time

Saw this guy name in wikipedia FFXIV : ARR --- Masayoshi Soken

Just to confirm that I didn't see wrongly here... http://n4g.com/news/1241989/ffxiv-a-realm-...w-info-revealed

FFXIV 2.0 going to be release in summer this year ??? Sounds a bit fast...

Oh and you guys with 1.0 character can use it back in 2.0 ? only the level start at level 1 right ?

is the NDA lifted ? How come this video can be show in youtube ??

I think some player concern is that masamune player pool consist majority of legacy players which might be 10 or 20 or 30 level higher than newbie who just start.
