Duty Finder video is posted on the blog: Duty Finder Commentary

It's not shown in the video, might have been cut for time, but I hope the duty finder doesn't just send you straight into a fight - it'd be nice if the newly formed party would instead get put into a lobby area to meet each other, do pre-entry organization, and then they can enter the fight/dungeon/whatever. Being thrust straight into the fight with the timer ticking is kinda disruptive.

And similarly an exit lobby.

By the way, posted this in the Lightning Returns thread.

At least they didn't have a Galka Lightning.

New trailer atm. Seems to be another tour Eorzea type trailer, this time high level areas.

Arcanist/Summoner gameplay!? Well, little bit.

Couldn't tell that was a Roegadyn, my peril-sensitive sunglasses had already kicked in when I turned toward the book.

TIME MAGE CONFIRMED

[Retrieving/C.D/Searain]

It distinguishes between language:
No way to filter out people who selected multiple languages though (at least not quickly), so bilinguals will pad out the numbers a bit.

I got into 1.0 through a buddy code, I redeemed it but never actually made a character since my old rig couldn't even run the game, doesn't look like my alpha/beta toon shows up on the lodestone either (in fact when I try to log in it says that there's no active service on the account or whatever).

Numbers ought to be bigger than the aforementioned chart suggests.

Corethas has changed :O

New exploration video had Coerthas and Mhor Dona in it. Both areas looked pretty good.

[Jamison]

I only saw the last 30 seconds or so on the live stream... looked great. I hope they release that on youtube soon.

Lightning costumes look terrible. I dunno what it is, but the rendering is absolutely off, not even close to the quality of ARR or even FFXIII for that matter. The fuck? Hopefully it'll look better later but for now kill it with fucking fire.

Looks about on par with me... But I'm used to Above-Average graphic settings, not MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE saddly.

A lot of disinterest/complaints with this, So I think I'll bite the bullet and come out to say, I actual enjoy the idea of this. Final Fantasy has been a series where each installment is kinda separate, which is what people liked... but has had a lot of "Dimensions" cross over. I know Gilgamesh has traveled across the realms, Its referenced a few times. In games like Theatrythm and Dissidea, they have the crossovers and people thoroughly enjoy those games, even though not cannon. Ditto for Kingdom Hearts that had the different FF Characters. Not everyone loved them but of course they were enjoyable for many.

I'd like if they expanded on this TBH, Added characters from Other FF Titles as special FATEs, Dungeons, or hell just a Seasonal Event with fluff style items like the Costume... basically a secluded area, unimportant to the story, and entirely optional. I mean, You may dislike FF2, 7 or 10, but chances are you like one of them, and honestly who wouldn't love doing a Dungeon or FATE alongside Squall, Cloud, Basch, or Terra? They probably used FF13 characters cause its the most recent and the engine is closest to ARR, meaning least amount of time updating graphic models. Still, they could use a base of the Dissidea 2 characters for other FF titles and work from there and have them with little effort too.

And I know i Know, people hate on cross-game references in the FF Series, mostly because of the countless fanboys asking for Cloud, Which I half understand the hate of. So long as its not long drawn out fanservice and its not crucial to the story, It could be fun. An Interesting concept that appeals to the nostalgia of some. Personally FF8 is my favorite game, and I would not hate the idea of doing a FATE with Squall, even if useless outside of exp and a Squall costume or a DMG:1 Gunblade akin to Ark weapons in FFXI or any other seasonal item.

I'm excited and it feels wrong.

Edit: if memory serves, they said skirmish would be the place to fight previous FF bosses.
