Final Fantasy XIV @ gamescom 2009 (Updated)

[Maguspk]

here will also be factions within each race from which to choose, possibly the ones mentioned in descriptions on the official site.

Ah, that could be interesting, maybe there will be visual differencs among the races based on their faction.

Dude, as a n00b, I was running in circles around bunnies near Sandy because I thought I'd get an advantage lol.

I did it too. :X


Still no new information from (today) saturday's gamescom? <Bercus call 1>

The spellcasting roegadyn were a faction, right? I know what faction I'll be! The giant mofo casting a nuke.

Textures are terrible in those SSs of the ground ect.

Am I mistaken or didn't Tanaka already address this?

looks pretty detailed to me (the flowers and etc)
plus the game is far from being complete. maybe it can be upgraded but it's not "terrible".

Don't lie to yourself, look at the ground, blury ect. and the fact that the texture is not there basically just doesn't look 3D.

[Hyan]

lol.

[Virtuous Saint]

lol.

It is pretty funny isn't it.

[Mooshywooshy]

I agree, I mean the flowers dont even smell like they should and you cant even feel the wind on your asscrack when you play naked. Graphics are clearly half assed.

Can we get a comparison of FFXI grass and FFXIV grass?

I just saw, those ign pictures are only a few weeks old, so that can't still be FF13 alpha build right? I'm surprised the ground looks so bland compared to an alpha build of a MMO. It looks like the FF14 ground has way more detail and shine.

Quick question and clarification needed. They mentioned the TP guage, the action guage and the power guage. The power guage is supposed to make your attacks more accurate and stronger, and the action guage, when full, allows an attack to go through, but what exactly does TP do? Do you need it to perform attacks and the action guage is kind of like the timer? Also, they said there is no auto attack, but was there ever anything on what you do instead? Are your attacks abilities now instead?

[Celeras]

You're obviously going to need different equipment for different classes, yes?

Then the changing of appearance when swapping a weapon could merely be an automated equipment change, remembering the last items you used with whatever weapon and saving them in a template. Or something along those lines.

Just a thought.

I assume they meant it'd change to what you were previously wearing like switching a job in the mog house. That supports their statement about making job switching convenient.

"The player chooses which commands they want on the command gauge from the action icons lined along the bottom of the screen."

"In order for the character to perform commands specified by the player, one must first store up the Action Gauge. If you select a command before the gauge is ready, it will activate once the gauge fills up. There is also a Power Gauge, which can increase the strength and accuracy of one's techniques."

"There will also be a TP gauge, which increases by attacking or being attacked. A full TP gauge can alter your techniques in different ways."

"Depending on your commands chosen, the player can activate a variety of techniques." This one makes me wonder >.>...
