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

[Ziero]

wow those cut scenes are very awkward with absolutely 0 sound going on...as suggested previously, if they are doing emotes to dialogue they should at least close that ugly text box and have it subtitled across the bottom of the screen.

I agree that the CS was fairly awkward without any sound, I'm surprised there wasn't any BGM at all, as that's really all it takes to really set the mood for a CS. I don't really need any kind of VAing for my MMOing, half the time I don't even have the sound on to hear what they're saying anyway, but some simple BG music and subtitles would work a LOT better then silent and chat box'd.

But then again, this is still the alpha, they may have cut out a lot of stuff and only focused on the important gameplay aspects to make sure the game runs right. I do remember SE saying there would be english VAing for this game, but I don't recall the exact extent of how much VAing would be included. But I'd have no problems with simple music being used instead of voices in a CS like that.

Also, on a totally unrelated note.

...do Marauders start the game without an overshirt?

I want to know about those face masks you see that galka and some other npcs wearing
I mean as far as I know there's no "face" slot just one "head" one and they're also wearing hats
so how do they also have masks on

Hmm looking at the same cutscenes from the US client they both have music playing in the background.

Edit -- hmm or not as the music fades away .. lol

EU testing slot last week was pretty worthless. A couple of pics and that was about it. NA is when all the good stuff comes out.

You know they could've recorded w/o music, or just play w/o music. Don't take the movies as an actual experience of playing the game.

i like hearing that they are making significant progress on server stability.

i don't like hearing things that make me think "ehhh, is problem/complaint X going to fixed/addressed before beta/launch or not?"

gdit i hate waiting games.

It's so true, we are worthless. No wonder I like international servers.

NPCs, Facial customization or they're part of the headgear?

Seriously though, the zorro masks just look weird...especially on the Jolly Green Galka.

I'm calling dibs on all the JP info and screenshots in EUs name. Suck it Amerikkkans.

Lovers wanna love,
I don't even want,
None of the above,
I want to piss on you.
Yes I do, I'll piss on you,
I pee on you."

Thats a fucking lie.

No offense. The EU community just seems to bitch more about connection issues more than anyone like it only happens to them.

[LD]

Thats a fucking lie.

You tell 'em, son.

Gotta get our eyes wide shut orgy on.

I saved both your Avatar and your Sig to my laptop, just for the memories. These are good times. I will remember them fondly. :D

I bet they never report any glitches either. I'm sure they're vocal about any minor issue that prevents them from enjoying themselves though.

Guess there's more love for the green mystery meat then I originally thought

[Tearshang]

What?

YOUR WORDS ARE TOO KIND!! Please allow me to prepare you a beverage of lets say... Dr. Pepper?!!!

Really though. It's great to see such odd emotions from npcs lol.
