I could care less about this cosmetic bullshit, I just want the game to run smoothly. Imo wasting time on this stupid shit is taking away from other things the game actually needs.

The game already runs smooth as hell? Unless you're playing on an Atari maybe.

I wonder if they would be willing to institute a eve style auto mumble system into the game like an icon next to the party list *click* mics on and your now in party mumble.

I think they once mentioned that they don't have plans to that, but as it has been shown a couple of times now, if it gets enough support, there's a good chance it will be implemented. (that is, if they don't have their own specific and strong reasons to not do that)

Waiting to see how the game plays on a PC with increased texture quality and DX11 stuff ~!

Ingame voice chat support for ps3 would be nice for partys, This could probably easily be implemented. Its such a staple i find it hard to believe that this does not support it. I mean pc players get every program in the world to chat between themselves and ps3 gets screwed.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn features Full Active Time Events (FATE), which occur periodically in real time throughout Eorzea. In one of these FATE, you and other brave adventurers will have the opportunity to fight alongside Lightning herself.
The reward for successfully completing this event is gear and weaponry modeled after those found in LR: FFXIII. By wearing the full set, female characters can dress as Lightning and male characters can dress as Snow.

On a closed beta, and you know what I'm talking about stop being dense.

I wish game developers would just stop dicking around and just release every game with a PC version in addition to the console version. I would probably go back and play all the FF games if I could get them all easily and with no risks. Fuck emulators, and fuck owning a console just for 1-2 releases a year that I MIGHT want to play.

Edit: In other words, I never played XIII and have no idea who these characters are, or why I should care about playing beside or looking like them.

Also, this is ignorant. Game developers are not often interchangeable. The people working on this might not HAVE anything more important to work on. Pulling animators off of this project isn't going to make your servers any more stable, or your gear/skills more balanced, or your UI more readable. It isn't going to fix your spelling/grammar errors. It isn't going to improve your damage algorithms, etc etc. There are different people that deal with that stuff. Have a little faith that they know how to prioritize. I'm sure that they know that this feature is more or less meaningless fluff, and won't put it ahead of something vital to the game's health.

Not to mention, it might be a really simple project, especially if the tech and animations are already made.

The biggest thing I took from this is that FATE will have rewards other than just xp, Gil, and seals(if they keep seals as an award)

Would be kinda cool to have high some level NM FATE linked with like a Hunt Board system like in FFXII.

[Eanae]

I thought it was already known that high level HNM FATE like Behemoth worked sort of like Wildskeeper reives in XI? Community HNMs and loot for everybody.

[Takiwaki]

That spell naming convention thread is getting some serious attention lol

Long ass post with explanation. I guess some people will never be happy.

You guess?

FATEs are reives now, not Dynamic Events.

That's what they are! Things like Odin are FATEs, from everything we've heard they'll probably end up being a big part of end-game.

[Nirokun!]

I like the auto-emotes idea tbh. >_> It will make the world more "lively" looking than what essentially looks like the market wards dotted with players running/crafting/fighting. Idle emotes would be awesome, too. (*'-') The world would look more like one of those "Tour of Eorzea" videos, which is awesome.

Nothing new or earth shattering, but you can see the "Artifact Armor" for each class.

Blacksmith does say this:

The relatively recent birth of firearms has created an entirely new area of expertise which is being adopted with fervor by many ambitious smiths.

Speculation Engines are GO!

[Sephiroth]

Can't believe there's a shit storm over spell names.
