To those that are commenting on the Lalafell, i feel i should point out thats how small children run and personally think its very appropriate. I'm hoping they impliment different animations depending on how strongly you move your thumb pad (PS3 controller).
Small kids shouldn't be fighting in wars either, unless you're a FF main character, so Lalafails fit right in.
Are we sure the Lalafell is running and not walking like the other two characters? The tarutaru walk animation is kind of lame too, so I'd expect a little midget with short legs to move their little stumps at a fast pace in order to maintain a walking pace with the others.
Actually, when compared to the Lalafell in the other game play footage videos on Youtube, this Lalafell is definitely walking.
If this is how everyone will react based on a youtube video, I can't fucking wait to read the threads once the alpha testing actually starts. I think some people might need to be placed on suicide watch once bugs are found.
They haven't played the game yet - these kids haven't ever played a beta - they have no idea how soul-crushingly annoying Alphas can be, let alone a beta. Constant crashes, being restricted to maybe one or two areas, constant wipes of equipment and server resets, rollbacks, freezes and crashes.
They'll realize that its not a picnic or a free Netflix game rental soon enough.
Oh the rhyming about my performance in the sack while smoking a cig. She's always so critical too... ugh.
Yeah, I have no problem with just hitting a button to select runs vs. walks. In a game like FFXI, where there aren't many places where you need to jump (none, actually, unless you're a drg) at full speed over a pit or something, it isn't a problem, but pressure sensitive controls could be a problem for a game like WoW or other jumping games, because it adds another level of depth to exploration and dungeon design, and can also lead to some pretty horrific deaths.
Every day I hear amateurs complaining that they didn't know they could fall off pits in the Heroic Forge of Souls instance, and I remember a lot of idiots not being able to make the jump when fighting Mr. Polarity Shift in Naxx.
Eh I just assumed it was a tech video from the real deal. I guess its not too bad then for Alpha specific graphics, FFXI had the same shitty graphics in its alpha/beta.
Yo, these fucking graphics are horrible
Really SE?

I'm sorry but you can only improve so much from alpha to release.
ps3 limitations, clearly
