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

[Hyan]

I think the derail is going to derail pretty soon.

I checked the search functions~ Are there any tidbits of info on crafting ?

Oh yes, depending on if you've seen the alpha manual or not though.

[BRP]

But which group is the majority?

Casual always outweigh the hardcore. This is always true.

[Katlan]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears all classes have Mp in ffxiv?

Every class/job/race has the same stats & hp/mp figures. So even if a class doesn't use "mp", it won't be shown now in their stats

Oh fuck, that's right. I think FFXI's "casual" is a different thing compared to WoW's "casual" though. Or at least XI has a lot more "upper end" casuals than you know, really casual people.

What the hell am I saying.

If magic is included in abilities carrying over across classes, I'm sure every class will have MP so they can actually utilize said abilities.

You can't cater to FF11 players before they exsist

Besides SE don't listen to its userbase so its not like they catered to anyone apart from themselves.

You can cater to FF fans, though. FFXI catered to FF fans and EQ fans, who appreciated the slow, tedious grind combined with FF series flavor. FFXI also catered to botters, as lots of people made lots of money designing and selling some of the better claimbots.

I was wondering why this thread got so many pages overnight, forgot about the playtest today. Was about to rage if people actually added 20+ pages of WoW comparisons.

[Lucavi]

Well now you can rest easy on this Tuesday morning.

PS. Enjoy your Santonio Holmes.

light through windows

BOOOOOO, so It seems there are no voiceovers in (I dont know the word for it) but like quest dialogue. Its like FFXI where you see the characters moving and even moving there mouths but there is no voice. I hope they add more voice overs. Well I suppose at the very least in the big CS's there are voice overs.

So happy that the GUI is movable.

I hope so too, but I doubt it /: Star Wars Old Republic as every NPC in the game talking instead of players just reading lines. Thats how new MMOs should be.

14 does look great tho, some of the mobs looks very Promyvion inspired. Im surprised we havnt learned more about the battle system yet, all thats coming out are screenshots of Miquote lol

What don't you like about it out of curiousity? I think the default is practically perfect. Only thing I imagine I'll change is chat box size (and hopefully font size, shit is bigger than it needs to be currently). Need to see what a large party looks like too though.

[Zeno]

Not sure if this has been posted, but how to the lalafell "speak?" Is it similiar to FFXI where they rhyme or something, or maybe waybe play with tordy wordys?

[Jinfire]

Alpha ... alpha ... alpha

I know I know I know :D. First thing I told myself. But who knows if they will add it or not .

And last time it was a ton of pictures of Lalafell, I thought mithra werent playable atm? well I think all the pictures of them are NPCs so meh.

I agree, sure wow style quest boxes dont need voiceovers but if you are going into a cutsceen and the npcs interact and talk with one another and even move their mouths then add some voices too .

But as stated eariler it is just alpha.

Is any tester going to try to skillchain today?
