This was posted on the Lodestone today for our European players and I figure it would be best to use this thread for the 2.0 presentations too. Also I converted the times to EDT.

Hellz yeah. Hopefully we'll see some stuff before then.

Id think theyd just be showing the same presentation at twelve different times, so I guess early that first day would be the time to camp the stream if you wanted to check it out asap. If there really are 12 different presentations then it better be more than doing a single guildleve on a new map (which is about where my expectations are atm).

[Arximiro]

Hopefully we get something like this.

[Spira]

wonder how that'd work.

they did say live demonstrations of the game... so it'd be different each time no? even if its presenting roughly the same thing.

Man the game looks so awesome, especially the lighting. Current version has fucking terrible lighting issues.

[Gokulo]

Oh, wow, did not expect that

[Draylo]

Flying or jumping chocobo's?

[MutamixBubblypots]

Has Ishgard been destroyed?!

EDIT: Never mind I think they're just random ruins. Also really high res shots here: http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs...15_553349.html

New RSE, female Roegadyn etc.

Flying or jumping chocobo's?

I think they're just jumping a la FFXIII-2. Also have you guys noticed that the TP bar starts at 1000? Maybe they're changing the mechanics behind that.

[Kurokikaze]

Everyone seems to have about 1k less HP.

UI scale seems off. Probably scale-able. The bars are also different than what we saw at E3.

@ post above: You means TP caps at 1000 it seems like.

lol WoW font for damage/scrolling battle text. Dudes need to take 1 type-face and stick with it. I guess they're showing how much you can mod things.

Edit:

Color her green and it's She-Hulk:

[Gokulo]

Lol, in the UI screen they're showing the helmet being dragged, didn't notice that in the low-res screen.

Also notice how DRG icon is no longer blue, did they streamline job icons? I actually like them, the colors were find imo.

Edit: actually, it seems they just changed colors, drg is reddish, while war in another screen is blue and brd is yellow.

[Sephiroth]

This game looks awesome.

Edit: Are they changing leveling requirements? That bar says 0/550000.

[Kurokikaze]

Ahh didn't notice that. Was too busy drooling over "GEAR SET".

[MutamixBubblypots]

Yeah it caps at 1000, but notice that's at 1000 even outside of battle.
