FFXIV Closed Alpha/Beta Discussion (Cancelled for this week)

[Rokku]

Didn't someone already say that was for some hentai game, not FFXIV?

Yes

Intresting ;D

*gasp*, my monitor has a chance.

[Purrrfect]

How long does it take that pretty little action bar to fill?

[Kensaki]

Yeah but we're not here to play hentai games now are we Maldave.

Bumping this question I asked since no one has posted any info about gear or weapons. SS of these would be awesome as well

I would also like to know the answer to this question, but I'm going to assume the starter equipment that everyone gets probably won't have any details on it - aside from an armor value. Wouldn't mind seeing a peek at something higher 'leveled' to see if there is going to be stat requirements and the like.

[Roscobel]

first alpha test = disaster.

[supercoco]

Is possible to switch gears while fighting?

[Eklm]

And now I know why they always put updates in EU time for FFXI. EU players can't even break the NDA right!!!!!

J/K, but EU players.....stop it with the oooohs and aaaahs.....and START POSTING!!!!!

the wealth of information in this post is in danger of breaking the forums

Those upskirt screenshots the JPs took while making elf chicks state otherwise.

Honestly, I'm still holding out hope that actual, traditional armor in this game has a minor affect on stats and combat, and serves a more aesthetic purpose. I mean, I hope SE doesn't decide that since undergarment gear slots are an option, it's a good idea to start adding +1 str panties or +mp underoos because that would be a bit ridiculous. Way back when the game was first announced, they mentioned something about a 'belt' system with slots you fill up and switch between to affect gear stats and that armor won't play as important of a role as it once did. I'm hoping the "Large" and "Small" pouches are what they were talking about, and they act kind of like an Armor/Materia system from VII, or hell even the Evolith system in IX. Each "Pouch" can hold a certain amount of stat bonuses and you get these bonuses from boss drops or quests and the like.

If Stat bonuses only came from invisible, no-armor related items, it would mean we would be free to wear gear because it looks good, and not because it has ridiculously awesome stats. In other words, screw you Wal-martTurban.

Gosh, all we've seen so far is a few screenshots, and a little information here and there. Where's the vidoes a.k.a face blowing goodness? I'm going to die if i don't get to see the opening movie for the game, it's the same exact one shown behind closed doors at vana fest.

Half of the testers can't log in, and for those of us that can, the game is extremely unstable and crashes roughly every 5 minutes. We couldn't break the NDA even if we wanted to.

[Lazytowner]

I don't know if this is new, but I'm liking the draw distance.

Spoiler: show

I haven't really been following the game, so the class names being totally different is pretty new to me. All this info in such short time! ...

It makes me...

It makes me want this game!!!

Ouch, sorry.

And so it starts with the jporny

SE Tech 1: Lets have the jp players test on the stable server.
SE Tech 2: Your right, and we might as well give the EU players the worst...they are used to it
