here is your video

Final Fantasy XIV Gamescom Off Screen Gameplay Video from GameVideos

Time to go wild ;p

Fucking YES.

I can see that areas in the game work the same way as 11. There is a set distance you see and a spanning area beyond that. I was so worried the game would end up with smaller areas a la PSU/PSO style or something.

Great, now I'm psyched, totally sold. With the games area distance/size figured out and the class system somewhat figured out, I'm ready for this B)

Anyone noticed the "Dodo X/6" going up everytime he kills one of them ?
FoV equivalent ?

Whatever it is, the good part of it is that we got a confirmation that game makes use of multiple frames (like most modern MMORPG), and that means the game will have several means to communicate information to us (players), not necessarily being forced to go through the chatbox (like in FFXI).

It was a due change, but I'm glad to see they really did it

downloading it off the 1up link and running with quicktime is a really good HQ version everything is really clear and capable of making out....

Someone with a ticket should totally use a Lalafell if possible.

I'll love you forever.

Glad it wasn't like a fucking worm or something they were fighting. Entering combat seems much smoother now which is completely awesome.

simple quest info which shows once you kill something which you need for an activated quest (it says defeated dodo's). at least that's how it is in all new mmo's

Honestly it looks a little like FF12 online <________< lol

Which is awesome. Also, the art director for XII is working on XIV too.

I didn't like seeing the ranger disengage when the dodo ran too far away. >.>

Couldn't agree more, personally I loved XI b/c I didn't have to use a mouse for anything that I didn't explicitly want to and I was perfectly fine without it. Tabbing kinda sucked but that was a minimal issue, I hope we're not forced to use it if we prefer keyboard onry.

Exactaly. And tabbing isn't even an issue. We have keys for our direct party members and we have F8 for mobs and AH and NPC and stuff. Please, please please make it so I can play without needing a mouse.

graphics are like oblivion basically from what I could tell.

Bercus, what do you mean by this?

That was posted as an update on FFXIVCore. We're not really sure what they meant at this stage; still speculation.

Damage and solo play looks ok from that. I like how he's attacking for hundreds of damage and the best gear in FFXI doesn't let you auto attack that hard. Yay for inflation and hopefully faster boss/enemy fights!

Someone never played WoW?

Not so sure about that...
Let's see if you can "move" your character during the sheathe/unsheathe weapon animation, or if you're stuck like in FFXI.
