NEW TGS 2012 Trailer

[Kurokikaze]

The hamlet news is good indeed, but how are they going to handle the loot/seals? Is it going to be more along the lines of Besieged in XI which people liked? Hopefully they take out the seal step from relics because it really seems like a tactic just to delay/keep people playing and give people a reason to play failed content. If they can make hamlet good on its own in ARR then it doesn't need seals.

The loot system for raids is looking very promising too.

Tokens/Points bro... Tokens/Points.

Everyone gets rewarded for participating. X amount of runs nets you a seal or whatever you decide to buy. DONE. <--- The way it should be.

Hopefully this "roaming primal" part of Odin is going to be implemented better than Ixion/Sandworm.

Beseiged was not a good event and anyone that liked it is a terrible person. Campaign was better if only because you could see what the fuck was going on.

They better have a plan to keep hamlet from becoming the clusterfuck of lag that was beseiged or a completely unbalanced competition for participation credit like campaign.

The tokens from dungeons will turn out to be like cruor or ichor and can only be used to buy misc items like explorer's gear or the other mediocre crap we get from non-boss chests while things like DL will remain exclusive to the 2-3 "rare" drops pool.

Tell me that's not a possibility.

LOOK ME IN THE INTERNET-EYES AND TELL ME THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY MIGHT DO KURO.

would you guys be happy with a SAO style 100 floor tower of increasing difficulty? i'd imagine every x levels your progress is saved and you can restart from there (who am i kidding thats Nyzul!)

[Ratatapa]

With Order lamps

[Raldo]

What is "SAO style"?

What is "SAO style"?

everything besides actually been locked inside a game for 2 1/2 years (go check SAO out its basically a 100 floor dungeon with level progression with a boss at the end of each level) it would work with level caps if we only had 20-25 floors open at 50 every level cap they open another 5-10 floors with awesome loot for that level range i'm sure people would replay it (couple pieces per job drop rates relativity high but when your working in a group of 8+ takes time to get all the gear you want)

Wasn't that speculated after a 25th anniversary interview when Yoshida mentioned Crystal Tower would have new floors open up as the game was updated? He more or less confirmed in the live producer letter the level cap is changing in the first major post launch update (unless that changes between now and then... since he already delayed Ishgard again -.-) so I imagine new floors would get new level caps and get progressively harder with each new cap.

wasn't sure if the crystal tower was still planned since that palace picture just popped up (presuming that took the crystal tower idea away and that was our dungeon) really haven't kept up with the news since august

What is "SAO style"?

SAO = Sword Art Online a light novel/anime about people who get trapped in an mmo for 2+ years. That "game" is a 100 floor tower with a boss on each floor that has to be beaten to go up to the next level.

Thank you.

That first "explanation" had exactly zero content.

Found another picture of PS3 version:

I think it's the new Limsa.

Seriously, what did you expect from PS3? The system is 6 years old.

Hmmm... that grass doesn't look 1080p HD 3D to me. Time to dust off and rev up my forum account at the Official Square Enix White Knighting Forums Headquarters... and complain.

Its content for people that you know... might not have played FFXIV before 1.0 and gotten all there classes lvl 50? Mid-game content is ridiculously sparse in 1.0, basically all the content is at the higher level with a couple milestone quests here and there sprinkled in the middle and one single instanced dungeon, they stated they wanted to rectify this. Not to mention they already confirmed dungeon content is level locked and people would sync down to the level of the dungeon so they always remain at least somewhat challenging. Can't just use a lvl 50 and solo through the dungeon since it will pair you down to the appropriate level.

I must have missed this tidbit with level syncing. Does it apply to gear as well or is that something we don't know yet?

After reading all the changes coming... I have faith that that will not happen with loot.

Spoiler: show

......I hope.

1-3 drops is referring to Spiked Armguards and such.

If that's the case then perfect.

Maybe I was thinking of Campaign then. Both were long after I quit, but one of them always seems to get highly rated on here.

ps3 version looks good

[Psion]
