    I just finished reading it. The write-up sounds good. Hopefully they will keep the momentum up. It mentioned "hundreds of quests." That was one of my biggest gripes with FFXIV. The lack of quests combined with the generic areas really made the game feel sparse. Hopefully the quests are fun, memorable, and add bits of story.

    You will see footage of the game within the next couple of days. Stop acting so spoiled

    I'm sure you'll see an official gameplay within the next month as well, when they've scripted one to their liking.

    Gear Set 1 has me curious if they're going to allow you to swap between a limited number of sets (during battle specifically), or it's just the mannequin load outs for quick job/class swapping.

    Write up means shit, dickriding is dickriding. Gameplay video or nothing is fixed.

No matter how much you know, you cannot expect for people to just sit back and feel confident when they see the exact same process from SE. Thus far, they have done nothing different than with 1.0, regardless of how delicious the actual game may be. Its been the same:

    1) Pretty FMVs released (of which SE has no problem releasing directly to the world).
    2) Pretty website designed
    3) Attractive conceptual screenshots released w/ concept art (that always looks high-quality)
    4) Small scraps of information here and there leading to a convention
    5) No official gameplay trailers or vids released by the company, opting instead for shaky-cam videos

    Both 1.0 and 2.0 have thus far flowed the exact same way. I could understand why anyone without direct insider knowledge of the game itself - IE: the public who will actually buy or not buy the product, and thus, those who decide whether SE will sink or swim (again!) - would be upset or, at the very least, cautious about the fact that the process has been repeated once again thus far.

    That being said, I know that you're right. I absolutely trust what you say, but you need to look outside your own experience and insider information and look at it from the viewpoint of those who can't and have not seen what you've seen. For months now, the main question has been "Has SE learned anything?", and when you see the same things being repeated, you can fully understand if people start thinking "No they haven't!"

    Xopher, its not entitled when just about every other main-title game at these conventions posts live-action content. This isn't a brand new SE game; this is a re-building of a shitty game that was doomed by the very same choices that SE again chooses to make. You cannot expect them to get a free pass in the public eye a second time in a row.

    If you're going to call his opinion "entitled", then take a look on other forums with a XIV section, and take a look at the comments section for every recent preview: you're going to see a lot of "entitled" people. More "entitled" people than non-entitled.
    I don't have any insider information. I just have cold, unfeeling logic.

    I love the target list in the lower left corner in those screenies. Excellent.

    Gearsets ('-' ) are bloody awesome. I cannot begin to express how much I enjoy that one little detail.

    Definitely hoping we don't see the return of gearswaps, I imagine the sets are just the mannequin system in action.

    I'm surprised by the reactions (although, not really now I think about it) to that dev post, how many devs post live streams? It's fair to say a similar amount of content has been released to when FFXIV was announced, but I don't see how that means it's going to end up the same way at all? Yoshida's been great with providing information up to this point with patches and feedback, I don't really see why now is the point to throw a shit fit when we're going to be seeing the game in action very soon at any rate. Who gives a fuck if it's not 1080p HD from the get go, we're probably getting that at the SE event at the end of the month at the latest.

    Edit: (not knighting, I don't play 1.0 and will quite happily ignore 2.0 if it's not up to par, I just don't get the nerdrage over something that seems quite trivial really)

    I feel like I remember that there was a dev post saying they didn't have any intention of allowing gear swapping. Maybe I am remembering wrong but I am assuming that its just tied to the mannequin thing.

    All the goodwill their getting from trying to relaunch they are squandering by releasing bad screen shots and refusing to post the game play online. It's so funny it's tragic.

    Ok now this is a bit of white knighting contrary to my previous post. Gamescom hasn't officially started yet, all we've had so far are previews from a couple of sites. Come. On.

    That is correct. Some time ago they had said they didn't have intention of introducing gear swapping, although people have found ways around it in game now. I'm inclined to believe it's for mannequins, but the "Gear Set 1" threw me off since they had always referred to them as mannequins (although I personally hope they've embraced gear swapping in a restricted manner).

    Yeah here it is:

    Spoke with Battle Master Matsui to get the lowdown on the whole gear swapping question that's got you all buzzin'. In regards to swapping gear while in battle, since changing certain gear while in battle will change your class in FFXIV, we're not planning to make it possible to swap gear in battle. This direction will not change in the future.

    We are focusing instead on making adjustments with the battle-related fixes to ensure that you can battle to your utmost ability without having to rely on changing gear multiple times mid-fight.

    Refusing to post videos? Please stop being so fucking stupid. They said there won't be a live stream from them but that's not stopping the press from taking videos at the event and they also never said that videos won't be uploaded on the website.
    You guys are taking this to the extreme as usual.

    Macro swaps did a lot to extend the usefulness of certain armor pieces in XI.

    That said, if I never make a gearswap macro again I'll be a happy paladin. (O.< ) Glad they are sticking to their guns on that.

    And kuro that sig is so true it's painful. (>x_x)

    I'm not going to pull the blind SE fanboy card here, but I thought the SSs were pretty great. 90% are user interface or gameplay focused.
