You can make your own addons so expect the list to come back soon or something.

One can only hope some ffxi nerd is really dedicated for it (fuck if I know how to code). I know I was always looking for one in WoW and no one ever made one, so I'd think it'd have to be an ff fan that would want to do it. XD


I guess if I get my comp fixed with the changes I may actually switch to using mouse + keyboard + gamepad like in other mmos.

I do love the controller though. D:

Maybe they'll have PS3's UI mode for PC once it releases. I'm buying the PS3 version asap too, I wanna be able to play with all the bells and whistles, but hopefully my current laptop will run 2.0 even better than 1.0.

[Kurokikaze]

Yeah Celeras, no need to kill people's boners. :/

ya my saving grace is that my lappy can run the game atm, and I guess 2.0 is going to be optimized so it should be better. I really really want the ps3 version though. Sitting on the couch > a comp chair always ALWAYS

Based on everything that we've seen, he's done everything that I could ask for without seeing the actual plot, quest structure, and content of the game. The building blocks certainly look to be in-place. Whether we'll see content designed to promote people helping one another (separate loot pools for every mob, full XP regardless of claim for helping to kill, public quests that don't need a party and reward full XP for participating, ect.) is stuff we'll have to (and should) worry about later.

In terms of the meat and potatoes; the base of which you design a game around, he's nailed everything I can think of off of the top of my head. SE has never done that before, so yeah, I'ma give credit where credit is due.

Seriously hyped for the alpha/beta now. I hope we get lots of betas and long periods of play-time during each.

My two biggest gripes seem to be addressed. The UI was an utter failure and complete garbage, the new redesign looks clean and responsive. Playing with mouse and keyboard in 1.0 feels awkward and unresponsive and the gameplay footage seems to have addressed that as well. All I can ask now is that the game actually runs great. I have a pretty beefy computer and 1.0 still runs terrible for what it brings to the table graphically. Hype is reaching unexpected levels, beta can't get here soon enough.

It's a good sign when after the first showing of V2 gameplay the biggest complaint is the texture of the grass.

Agreed.

I love how the Deathclaw is an effing hovercraft.

it looks awesomecool. i'm guessing they're gonna work with the empire theme and roll out more empire machinery nostalgia monsters..

Magitek Armor check.
Deathclaw check.

what else? Guard scorpion?

Yeah I'm glad I have plenty of time to save up for a laptop. Two more paychecks and I can buy that G75 asus laptop from best buy. I'm hoping that thing will be beast-mode enough to run XIV maxed out.

[Pharaun]

I am actually saddened by bag slot situation. unless they still have an autosort in it somehow. The list way is one of the things I felt SE always did right and every other mmo did wrong.

QFT, I've never been a fan of the bag concept. It makes sense in the game universe, but is just silly from a gameplay/accessibility standpoint. The list just makes more sense, especially with some type of sort function along with being able to give certain types of items priority i.e. choosing whether you want consumables first, or gear, or crafting mats, etc.

[Izzy]

I'm so incredibly horny for 2.0. I've been killing my time just doing leves for my Weaving for too long Q_Q.

[Oreth]

I hope the UI scales overall or parts of it scale.



Looking at the picture above i hope you can drag out the corners of each box make each one bigger / smaller

[Alderaan]

Are animation locks gone? This was by far my biggest issue in beta.

[Celeras]

Yeah Celeras, no need to kill people's boners. :/

If real talk kills it, then that should tell you something. It's a nice little appetizer until hopefully seeing some real footage, nothing more. My bar isn't quite low enough to get hard over drag and drop and the ability to jump over a fence in my way.

It looks improved but its hard to tell with the lack of action.

Edit: Holy shit, just checked the OFs and there's 8 threads about grass on the first page of the general forum.

cesspool of everything wrong with FF community

It looks like it from the video, there was quite a few moments where he was running around nuking the shit out of squirrels and there was no locking.

[Oreth]

Also interesting to see on the Limit Break video the WHM actually has their weapon drawn while completing an action. Wonder if that will be a short CGI clip only or will mages be actively engaged in fights now!

I want to yell at people on the official forums, but it keeps trying to get me to register a new account even though I already have one....*shakes fist*

[miokomioko]

I've tried to yell at the OF a few times in the past. sigh It's completely and utterly hopeless.

They have bred a whole new superstrain of retard in there. It's immune to logic. It's unstoppable. It's angry.

You're kidding me. I can't load up the OF at work so I'm taking your word for it.
It's freaking grass! After the first few days you wouldn't even notice it. Money is better spent on other aspects of you know... the entire game.

Granted, half of them are joke threads.

But the others are serious, so... yea...

You're going to be wasting your time. Generally if you are a naysayer on the official forums, you get flamed by the masses of retards, then a mod will suspend your account for trolling.

BG is really the place to be lol.
