Well! I just didn't pay much attention to this thread, honestly

Yeah.. lol'd at that too. This game looks a fuck ton better IMO, and the fact that it runs smooth without making computers explode? Maybe Squeenix should learn....LOL who am I kidding. Learn? yeah, right. They just fire people and think it fixes stuff.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-16 09:27

Ah, OK. JP closed in about 4-5 months. Give that one a shot
Also lol'd at the FFXIV comments. What you talkin' 'bout, man, THEY GOT SOME MEAN LOOKIN' EFTZ!

Rofl. I'll give FFXIV the whole 'GRAFIX" thing, but this game equals it.. and it looks like you can actually play the game and have fun. Something FFXIV forgot about in the whole MMO thing.

what does your graphics card have to do with korean servers

**Rulke** · 2011-01-16 11:53

Viq, Fenux or any other who has put in some solid time in KOB- what would you think of a set party made up of a warrior, priest, mystic and berserker? I know its missing a 5th spot, but my usual group of friends who play with me just compose up 4 people. We havent had a chance to test this in any of the FGTs here because one buddy is in serious need of a computer upgrade. Anyway, would a set party of those 4 jobs do alright throughout the entire game (based off what youve seen anyway). Ive done a trio run with them (sans the mystic) and I am inclined to think we'll be ok with just 4, but that last run we did was back in April 2010 ><

The game looks nice for sure, but I wouldnt' say it was graphically superior to XIV for a number of reasons. It definitely has a LOT more style than XIV, which is why it's nicer to look at. This needs to come out, I'm curious about how the game plays.

It's extremely different, for me at least. The fact that it is targetless style it offers a lot more freedom than anything i've played. It's fast paced and way fun in that sense.

**Judai** · 2011-01-16 14:05

Wow, you guys have sold me on this game, want to play it right now! Is there still a beta people can get into? and where, if so?

**Rulke** · 2011-01-16 15:11

^only beta at present is the Korean open beta. In order to get into it you need a hangame account, which requires a Korean SS# among other things. I think there was a link a few pages back about places that sold (albiet 'illegal') accounts. There is roughly 9 more days of open beta left I think.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-16 15:36

@BGtemp: My set consists of Lancer, Priest and Sorcerer, the entire way. You can absolutely grind your way to 50 solo if you want(at least til 38). Berserker can take 0 damage from incoming cone or frontal attacks just like Lancer and Mystic can heal and refresh fine so it shouldn't be a problem at all. Raids don't have actual camps like in FFXI. As long at you're that level minimum, you can enter. So we do 20 raids like at 21 or even 22 with just 3 and it's fine. Berserker can't mitigate damage, just take no damage with it's axe on the floor but as far as leveling goes, it's like WAR to PLD in FFXI throughout leveling. Perfectly acceptable.

As for the graphics comparison to FFXIV, it's a completely different style but it's clear to tell who has the most bang out of the 2. Very clear. You just have to play them long enough to convince yourself if you haven't already. But it's all personal opinion.

**Rulke** · 2011-01-16 15:52

@ Fenux: Thanks for the insight. I played Slayer mostly the first two FGTs while the others were playing around with classes they'd like to be. I figured as a Berserker I could off tank some with my friend who is going warrior, she did great last time but we didn't get too far.

**Viq** · 2011-01-16 18:17

I don't have much experience with Warrior tanks, but most of the guys I was talking with at an internet cafe yesterday agreed that Warrior isn't an effective tank right now. They said Lancer > Berserker >>>>>> Warrior.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-16 21:18

Yup, Lancer and Berserker. Mainly because of the whole Axe block and plate. Warriors wear light/leather.

**Kupo** · 2011-01-17 01:59

I think most people think Warriors are bad tanks because people aren't using them properly. This video does a good job showing a level 22 Warrior's potential. You don't need heavy armor if you never get hit 8-)

When he can't get around the boss, he uses his invulnerability roll to avoid damage. When he does get hit, you can tell it is probably user error not class gimpness. Personally, I think this class will really depend on your skill as a player as opposed to how good your gear is.

And Fenux, thanks for giving such excellent answers to my questions!

**Foxer** · 2011-01-17 04:05

NP.

Much props to GM, they're in my server and easily one of the more popular English speaking guilds out there.

Also, EME and HBH confirmed Warrior as a Tank job, like Lancer. Berserker and Slayer, on the other hand, are just categorized as Close-quarter DPS jobs. Also, I believe HNH has Warrior as a 3/5 star class in difficulty, as opposed to Berk and Slay, which are only 2/5 star jobs, so yeah, you're right on the skill it takes to play War correctly as opposed to other DPS jobs. One a side note, I believe this game might be more of a situation class type game, where you can make more of either one, in specific situations. Though War is much more DPS than Lance, it's a lot less enmity, but as you can see by that video, from the little flame ring around the War's feet, the hate is almost completely on the War at all times, but then again, there are mobs which is are instant stomp rush mobs, much harder, and much bigger. And in this game, every mob and player has their own individual hit box, so it will be much harder to evade moves later on. But yeah, as far as EXP grind and quests are involved, War might be my personal favorite of the possible Tank jobs.

God seeing others screens, along with when i play the game, its seriously blows me away how good this game looks. Waiting for a few months for NA release is gonna be so difficult.

**Indalecia** · 2011-01-17 12:09

I'm playing a slayer atm on slash slash squiggly line circle circle slash server. I'll post some screens later but goddamn im hooked.

Yeah, NA release is so far away >< If there hasnt been another FGT by the Japan OB I might seriously consider trying to get in on that to calm my craving some.

**SilverBreeze** · 2011-01-17 12:57

Stop playing my Mystic in the mid 20s to try out one of the melee jobs, playing a High Elf Male Slayer at the moment, and I have to admit actually walking up to mobs and beating the shit out of them is so much fun in this game.

I'll definitely end up playing Mystic at release, it's so much fun and so versatile, but for now since I know it's what I want to play, I just want to try out other classes at the moment.

Core 2 Duo, 4870 HD 4 GB Ram. Nothing fancy. Game looks great and runs at max FPS. Dark areas don't look as great, but still nice.
