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

[Akiyama]

It would mean Gods protect us.

I'm downloading that Bruce Willis sex tape right now, I'd die hard for some of that testosterone.

...I see what you did there.

here's a question, what exactly does SE or any other gaming company stand to lose if the alpha/beta footage is public?


i don't really see any harm to Blizzard in letting all the beta testers stream SC2 games

[Lunarhawk]

Are there any gameplay impressions for Pugilist yet? I want something more like a monk than a ninja or thief

[Fanfon]

So guys, someone uploaded the new Bruce Willis sex tape on Youtube, but I saved it before they took it down.

I didn't encode it or screw with it, I just used Youtube Downloader and it played fine with VLC Media Player.

Raunchy indeed. I salute you, good sir.

SC2 is practically ready for release, the beta is for little more than balance tweaks and battle.net testing.

FFXIV is in its alpha stages and doesn't represent the final product by a long shot. As you can see if you take a look around on this very board, people overreact when bugs and/or anything less than perfect is shown, so it's less of a headache to just keep it as contained as possible.

The video i posted earlier is in HD now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akEn5xSDi6A)

Agreed, people might see something they don't like in the Alpha and might not end up getting the game to begin with

Got those 2 cutscenes saved in the 720p from yootoobe if anyone has issues with the links.

edit: just watched the 2nd one, lol that was hot! I can see major awesome fucking cutscenes coming in this game...

[Charismatic]

Spoiler: show

Is that a character or NPC sitting there?

[Alderaan]

I see a feet slot but still no jewelry? Perhaps a second tab for that?

[Omniyoji]

You need to live life on the edge...

[Azurewrath]

Damn, chaos, now thats what i like to see.

[Draylo]

Yeah it was awesome, can see a lot of potential when the mission CS's are done.

[Lazytowner]

Hell yeah, those are some detailed screens. I'm liking the way the progression system is starting to look.

[Jinfire]

Damn, chaos, now thats what i like to see.

Yeah those pictures were nice and what I wanted to see (In english seen similar things in JP but English is nice)

I want to see more Taru actions I was a taru in XI but Im not likeing Lalafells so much, I want to see them doing more things maybe...

Do your players have cutscene voices? Or is it only NPCs who talk in cutscenes?

Those things are lining up to be pretty sweet, can't wait to get stuck into the story. Voice Overs and awesome cutscenes like that'll only help

Except it seems to me anyone who pays this close of attention to find any info trickling out of a closed alpha test would get the game regardless >.>

[Biggie]

Make sure one of you testers report that the lalafell inventory/gear screen has a hume blacked out. Should be a Lalafell IMO...
