2.0 website and trailer...

TacoTaru's bolder quote is what I had read before. Haven't seen a specific % attributed to it, but it sounds like you'll at least have a better chance of getting in than a random bored Tera / SWTOR / etc guy who just wants to give it a spin.

**TacoTaru** · 2012-08-09 13:54

I'm still not finding that quote where he said anything about newer players being a priority. I'm beginning to think I made it up in my head.

So, while Dalamud does seem to be shooting things out to the ground, it's also pulling up stuff too.

That whole article was pretty much a reference to what happened in game when you do the quest "To Kill a Raven" but they talk about it from a non informed citizen POV. The stuff shooting from the ground is the battlefield.

It's not an assumption.

Nope. But you can quote me.

Xopher might be a Taj or have some groovy insider secret.

You said that the testing starts in October, right? I'll take that over the absolute bevvy of information SE has laid out for us, IE: nothing.

**Thiefami** · 2012-08-09 17:01

lol or just full of shit

**miokomioko** · 2012-08-09 17:10

I gotta' say, I have every reason to believe Xopher on this topic.

**Lucavi** · 2012-08-09 17:27

I have no reason not to believe him, outside of "SE wouldn't tell any stinking gaijin anything" logic, which may or may not hold up here.

**Thiefami** · 2012-08-09 17:30

He didn't even know that legacy would have no bearing on beta access.

**Lucavi** · 2012-08-09 17:46

He misspoke when he said legacy. He was referring to people who bought the game vs. people who haven't played 1.0, which is essentially what the rest of us were saying in how it would be stupid as hell for SE to prioritize those who haven't even played 1.0 and truly know what was wrong, over those who have.

**solracht** · 2012-08-09 17:51

He's been right before. That's enough for me.

**Wulfgang** · 2012-08-09 18:42

Xopher is to insider FFXIV news as Eklund is to NHL trade / free agency news it seems. And whatever happened to Taj? Last big news I remember about him is when he hacked the FFXIAPP player list and posted everyone's name who used it on a website linked to BG.

I want to know more of Odin's role for sure. He just overlookin like a boss.

Spoiler: show

**miokomioko** · 2012-08-09 21:36

I want that massive glowing moon to be what Dalamut looks like now.

**xopher** · 2012-08-09 21:39

Believe me guys. It's all just lucky guesses really.

**Gokulo** · 2012-08-10 01:13

Slightly OT, one of few good posts that made me lol on the OF, "Ridiculous 2.0 expectations":

I dunno about you guys, but this is getting kinda crazy.

2.0's graphics will be so incredible, you can see them with your mind. As a result, even blind people will be able to play 2.0.
2.0 will have unprecedented levels of fun. Fun produces laughter, and laughter is the best medicine. Therefore, by the transitive property, 2.0 will cure cancer.
2.0 will be hailed worldwide as the greatest game of all time. The massive amount of profit it generates for Square Enix, and the tax revenue generated for the nation of Japan, will lead to the launch date becoming a Japanese national holiday. By popular demand, Yoshi-P will run for prime minister of Japan and win, virtually unopposed.
Achievements in 2.0 will grant pleasure far beyond a usual sense of accomplishment. With enough achievements, players will be able to transcend to a state of Nirvana.
The gameplay in 2.0 will feature intense immersion, so by leveling a class or job in 2.0, you will be able to perform all of its abilities in real life. Yes, even magic. 2.0 will teach players to use actual magic in real life. No smoke and mirrors. A disclaimer will run before the game warning players not to destroy their computers or homes by using Thunder inappropriately.
The UI in 2.0 will be so amazingly intuitive, it will even offer a feature that allows players to control the game by uploading the contents of their brain onto the servers. As a result, you will be able to leave your body and live in Eorzea for eternity.

So what've you guys heard lately?
