Hmmm, the new beta pic is interesting in a number of ways, smoother interface it seems from here, and i notice everything got upped to 3 cost, even some skills we have low level, i wonder how that will effect low level playing, 3/20 will only give us 6 skills early, or will they increase our points more.
I like the addition of traits too, im guessing some will probably be like mp boost, hp boost etc, that will allow you to get more mp or hp, without having access to it when you level a lowbie job. and synthesis, i wonder if you will be aloowed to synth while having other weapons equiped or some such thing hmm.

definetly good to see some affinities written down, will help guide stat allocation or at least god selection, all of it is making for what seems to be a possibly very deep game. cool

**HolyDragoon** · 2010-06-16 12:13

I wonder if you are able to allocate points to increase available action points.

Think of the possibilities of balancing AP vs stat building.

Ok i'm really curious about those classes. i know some of those were confirmed in another thread but more poped up in that photo which i have my doubts like samurai and bard. Its even more fishy because those classes are not even renamed....

**Agito** · 2010-06-16 12:22

In the hidden FFXIV trailer shown at VanaFest with the voice acting, towards the end of it, it did say "Let's give our Bard something to sing about".

Main page of the other screen:

Their playing as a rank 40 / physical 1 no wonder they have no hp also means that must be pretty low damage as well.

**omegaB** · 2010-06-16 12:25

hmm supposedly its from data mined info, which just means that some where in the client exists some info that points to these, how it would or could or if it ever will be implemented is another story.
Some could be npc only jobs, like in tactics, some jobs were for guest npcs, or it could be somethings they have thought about implementing, but havent commited to.
then there is adventurer which is probably the placeholder job for some state where you have no weapon. (maybe at some point in the plot you get disarmed? or just so the world doesnt crash if you some how get bugged and weapon is uneqed)
Some one else posted a QA on core i believe which said they had many jobs planned, but that they hadnt really commited to most of them, of course the dude's translation seemed a bit off on some questions so who knows, that said, i doubt we will see much on release besides what we know, and maybe musketeer, arcanist and mystic, since those appear to be refered to in game already in some respect or another.
musketeer guild, archanist guild, them mentioning galka mystics in one of the tribe options

oooh in response to teh further pics, faction bonus? and you get bonuses for difficulty, and maybe even time to complete? thats kinda hot
though a stavesman sounds possibly cool, wouldnt mind seeing some good staff fighting (not the crap in ffxi!)

If you zoom enough on the equipment you can see the basic of alpha plus: earrings, neck, and at least 3 rings per hand.

I like how they made the menu resemble the ps3 home screen menu. Looks nice.

Summery of info from E3 Q and A

1. FFXIV will be in 3D on the PS3.

2. Larger Linkshells will be assigned something called “Company”. This will give them a website and display various stats of the members and group!

3. There will be secret areas after completing the main story.

4. There will be high end armor for each class.

5. New classes will be released even after the game is released.

6. The beta will be starting very soon.

7. There will be something called a “Retainer” which will allow players to leave their character or avatar so they will be able to enjoy the game offline and people can see them.

Female Elezen look so hot in XIV. Nothing compared to XI(not including dat mods)
And lol @ the PS3 menu style. Not that I'm complaining. I actually like it. Just thought it was funny

Pretty sure the 3D has been confirmed to be something they are only TESTING and they are unsure whether they will keep it in at release.
