    Famitsu/Dengeki: Hands-on w/ α & Future β Plans

    EDIT: Dengeki interview → Dengeki - Devs Talk Future Beta Plans

    Famitsu this week had an article where they got to actually make characters and play the alpha a little bit.

    Here's a writeup of the information they shared

    There's also a number of images they've posted, which will hopefully be put up on the official sites soon. Still working on a few of the menus and such.

    Big thanks to Fusionx over at Eorzdkfjsadfpedia for fixing up the images
    &
    JP fansite FF14FAN for letting me translate the chat logs he re-created. The magazine ones were so small. Note that because the chat logs were re-done, they are not representative of how text will appear in the game!

    Also note that any translations are subject to change as official ones are released and we get more explanations from Square Enix.

    Main Menu:

    Here's the character status screen:

    I have a feeling I'll be spending a really stupid amount of time creating my character. Hair streaks!

    Damn I wish I wasn't getting so excited about this. Thanks Elmer!

    Oh snap, visual indicators of Accuracy, Magical Accuracy, etc.

    Also what's this, a new luck attribute?


    I love you Elmer.

    Probably has a lot to do with synthing and having your durability bar on the synth bar stay up etc, speculationlol.

    I like this. Acc and everything laid out for us. Being allowed to put your stats to whatever you want is scary though. I hope thats by skill of your jobs and not physical level. ;p

    Wow stat points allocation.. very different from the linear build we're used to seeing in FF. Thanks Elmer!

    Looks like smaller amount of equipment to wear in XIV opposed to XI.

    I love you Elmer.
    It affects your lots on drops, and drop rates of mobs killed solo, and explains why it took you so long to get that abjuration or AF2 you always wanted, and why it took you so long to get that quest drop that your friend got after 2 kills.

    If luck is a TH, and in the final game, stats are re-distributable, incoming mules high level with 100% of their points in luck sitting at zone entrance. ;p

    I requested permission to translate the redone images, but didn't hear back for a bit. Once I finished up pasting text over the scan, he was like "Sure, go ahead!"

    There are some other menus and stuff I hope to have up soon.

    If beastman seals taught us anything, it is to hoard what you don't understand and save for later.

    Not at first, but it will be discovered what the optimal distribution is soon enough. So no worries.

    Sweet, if I can find the font used etc, I can probably photoshop up a pretty accurate version of it, but I dont know if it's even worth it, since we'll get the real deal tomorrow.

    Getting a Diablo vibe on the stat thing, which isn't bad, but isn't great once people started hammering out cookie cutter stat allocations alongside gear (you'd never get).

    In FFXIV, what most MMO players know as "levels" will be the character's "Physical Level." Points you accumulate in battle can be freely spent on HP/MP, physical strength, intelligence or a variety of other parameters. In other words, you can focus on one aspect of your character, or aim for balance between all stats. The ultimate decision regarding the direction of the character is completely up to the player.
    I'm not sure how I feel about this.

    On one hand, I hate it.
    On the other hand, I find the aspect of putting everything into LUK and strolling into end-game being all "Sup. Max luck here, mad drops follow. You -need- me bros" enticing.
