Final Fantasy XIV @ gamescom 2009 (Updated)

Yes I know what you mean, like stairs in Leujoam Sanctum Assaults... I always get stucked in there while trying to go up, annoying, yeah

But let's start to live with it, they'll never add jump to the game, and probably we could have already told this. I for sure wasn't really expecting it (hoping for it though, yes!)

Like I said, I don't really care if they add special motions; just don't make the environment's cockblock our movement like that. Granted, a lot of it has to do with the ancient design of the FFXI engine, so I'm just really hoping they've gotten past those 'glitches'.

I played XI since beta and quit roughly after WOTG came out with it's 2nd or 3rd update. I was referring to you saying a blade of grass, since you referred to that specific thing twice I assumed you knew of a place where a blade of grass tripped you up. I'm aware of little things no higher than an ankle in the jungle (especially in the tunnels and some areas near the cauldron) being trip ups and ofc the ordelle's caves as well as garlaige citadel.

I wasn't trying to be combative so don't take it the wrong way it's just how you came across made me think you had been dutifully wronged by a blade of grass in the game and I wanted more of said anecdote.

The two that instantly come to mind are the blades of grass/plants in the jungles and in saruta and in the mountains... etc.

Looks nice, just hope they left the chat "free" (I mean no need to touch a key to get into the chat) like FFXI.

Don't really care that much what they do with the "free" chat, either ways are fine.
I just hope they're gonna give us a chatbox that is:

1) Customizable
2) Precise


For 1) I'm talking about real customization. No more of those only 8 lines of text. What if I play at uber resolution and I want 12? Just allow me to...
And being able to filter stuff better, having multiwindows would be a perfect solution, one for raw data, one for chat-related stuff, for example. Or even deeper inside, one for LS/party stuff, one for everything else, etc etc. This kind of customization.

And I want it to be precise. I'm sick of how the chatlog is stupid and sometimes visualizes lines in a totally wrong order. Like you open a treasure and you see the message of what's inside first, then some random stuff, and then the message "you open the treasure".
This is because the chat component of FFXI, as admitted several times by developers, is one of the weakest points of the game. I Really hope they program the new chat to be precise in what it shows and HOW it shows it.

Posted they got server issues, trying to fix it and upload at the same time. /laugh at asking people to stop flooding the site.

Anybody catch when they'd be doing a dev panel or something?

Would also be nice if they gave other regions the ability to type characters appropriately without the use/need of third party tools.

Or no more {Jumping to new area}

Where did you see that? So there will be "zones" in FFXIV too?
You sure? Confirmed?
I was hoping for them to have a seamless or semi-seamless world without that old-concept of zones =/

[Agito]

Think Nomura is supposed to be there too with Toriyama, FFXIII will be displayed there after all, they might just feel like joining in on the first public unveiling festivities.

No no, I was just saying that would be nice, and hope they do like that because zones are old (in AoC there is no "chat zones" problems, don't know other games).

God the animation in that is incredible especially the 'dodos'. The lighting was really good too. Can't wait to see some of the other places in this game now
