The mage lala running around like a moron show possible spells. These are the best I could decipher in the vid:

Dunkelheit
Detoxi
De/Du parlo/patte/parle/parte/patte hard to see
Fessel

mean anything?

So Zyuu can you tell us about the combat system? is auto-attack in?

Detoxi > Poisona
Fessel > Bind
Dunkelheit means Darkness. maybe Drain? no clue

Blind. :D

The environmnet in the game looks absolutely insane. So much detail and vibrant color. Small simple quests are great for getting people into the game easily and making them feel like they are acomplishing something. One thing that kinda bothered me was the lack of detail on the characters on the emote video. Hope this really is an alpha because they can improve this.

Dunkelheit, holy fuck I'm playing this in German.

If you notice they try to "mask" the draw distance with the pretty background you see far away (hills, canyons, etc). The draw distance around the character is still there. Notice the bushes and tents loading as the ranger moves back and forth.

nothing a few simple registry tweaks wont take care of

edit: or incase of the future dev : windower plugins!

Maybe it's a version of blind.

[Evensong]

SE made a big move by showing the game in Germany and in German too!

Living in Europe myself, I think it was fantastic of SE to present it here! Perhaps this promotion will draw more Europeans to the game as I haven't really encountered many of them.

[Xanthe]

Maybe it's a version of blind.

In previous FF games Blind has always been called Darkness.

[Mayareira]

It looks so much win ; ; Don't feel like playing FFXI anymore ;p

Not too may Dep- or Dup- words in the German dictionary. Least worst might be "deprimieren" which means "discourage." So, possibly an intimidation effect.
Other possibility is an old word for transport, or something beginning with "Doppel" (double), possibly a blink.

[Dantrag]

only issue i had was that text scrolled pretty darn fast ;x

[Pro]

Try playing ffxi w/o any filters. Pretty sure, it would be the same thing. lol

What if instead of Dep/Dup it's Der/Dur?

Thanks btw guys ^^

in the video it's:
Dunkelheit (Darkness) only
nothing about detoxi and fessel...? hmm? (talking about this one: Final Fantasy XIV Online Video Game, GC 09: Magic & Melee Gameplay (Cam) | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com)

then it switches to the WAR using Schwerthieb (sword slash) and Roter Lotus (red lotus)


blind in FF history was always Blind in german as well. darkness was things like gravity, Negra etc. darkness based, eh

reading the chat log: i saw a "...attack hits at a sensitive spot.."

edit: oh lol so fast. trying to get it... hold on

detoxi - poisona
i see a "fessel" too - Bound/Binding

the third one is... holymutha...

i see a "hellbane" lol... but i guess that is wrong... it's not german or FF adaption

[Destinye]

I figured it was just replacing 'critical hit!' but there's also logs that side "hit left/right side" or something..

Guess thats what they mean by more strategic, bringing back some old school "target certain spots then go buck wild" battles

[McGoonagle]

What if instead of Dep/Dup it's Der/Dur?

Thanks btw guys ^^

Good idea, but not much there either. Dur- words are mainly Durch- (through), which has possibilities, and not much under Der-.

[Averrinicus]

Eh sorry if thats a touchy subject lol.

As for people complaining about polish... Not only is this an alpha build its not even their latest build according to the devs (like a month old or something).

I love it how it is now just because I can finally see it in action, it only gets better from here and I'm already happy with the Alpha lol
