Hopefully will see you guys later, will try to get off work early so that I can jump into FF XIV hehe.

It's my char in Tera, I shall miss her if I ever ditch Tera lol
Not only you lo, so now I gonna come over and give it a spin haha

basically the game is similar to guild wars 2 imho where FATE system is totally something like it and the character quest as well but then the differences comes in monthly payment vs non and end game content.

not sure but in guild wars2 the end game content are not much imho and also i am not sure how is ff14 end game content going to be since is a p2p mmo which i think it must have raids etc i assume?

another point for me to confirm is that the skill for each class...is kinda little for me and i do hope i can get more skill but then as in a single class...i know u can have multiple class and transfer their skill to use in certain of them but lvling other class is kinda pain and takes time to enjoy the game especially for casual?...like my thau currently only spamming blizzard and fire like no brainer

for the battle system wise...look this new battle system so call is something for returning players for ff14 but for new players i guess they are not happy with it..heck my friend tried for like 30mins and quit because? cant spam skill lol...i do agree with him but i decided to continue to see other parts of the game even there is dislike on the battle system..is too slow imho

well i guess thats because CNJ is the support type? i remember back in ff9 where garnet/dagger only have summon skill and holy as attack haha.. maybe that was bad example as it is a different level.. for THM u will get blizzara as aoe at lv 12 if im not mistaken.. for melee class like PGL u will get sets of combo skills at the early stage so maybe it wont feel that boring.. so i think it based on what class u picked

*i wonder if there's a holy or ultima spell in ARR?

Umm.. no. I am going to go back to Limsa and check on it. Maybe i missed it.

I definitely didn't mention that directly.

I see many great idea around to improve the current fighting system and I definitely agree with them, such as individual limit break, more complicated cross class combo, better character stat customization system, problem with short kite range, etc, etc.

I enjoyed a slow pace turn based MMO for 5 years, FIVE years! I definitely don't have problem with slower paced combat- but at least make it much in-depth! That's what I wished. From the view of a casual player, now, FFXIV combat is still too shallow. I definitely not calling myself hardcore, not one bit.

You only mentioned 3rd person MMO (either action or non action).
There are many other sub genre of MMO that are not very popular.

I definitely have a slight different mind set in term of MMO,
- I want choices, lot's of choices
- levelling is part of the fun, NOT a grind to make it to max level in order to enjoy the actual contents
- give me enough reasons to play everyday, such as short and long term achievements not just on "bunch of numbers in your book"

farming in every game is tedious work 
dungeon got boring sure.... like im bored with WoW raid after 99x, no drop for me also 
jumping puzzle is frustrating yes, but give u sense of achievement when u completed it 
it depend on gamer i think.... so u like grinding to max lvl, but MIX dun like grind 

Beta on this friday, 5pm. ur alone?

i am playing as the ketot race....also makes me rethink twice

no phase 4 is open beta means everyone can play it...for the preorders they will have head starts 7 days earlier which means 27aug is the release date...so around 20th should be able to play for the preorders..

to confirm for perorders...if u guys preorder from gmg...will u guys get the headstart as well?

ic so the close beta is random

920k people playing the beta
