Could anyone please take a screenshot of Titan?
It really seems like he's standing in the Earth protocrystal if you check the environment.

Maybe...

That's a "mamool ja"

Well, XIVCore already has a short interview up. Copy-pasta goo

nevermind about that- I can't quote it right now, so go to www.ffxivcore.com and check it out!



Company sounds cool, wtf is Guild Link, also retainer sounds pointless but oh wells.

[superzombie23]

Oh man!

Jeez now 3d is starting to enter mainstream status. I saw a conference a month or two ago saying they would put 3d in a lot of games. I'm hoping I can get all the necessary power to play this game at the highest settings.

Retainer is thier system for keeping characters logged in so they can have a bazaar operating even if the player is offline.

Ya I came to that conclusion too.

[Kaylia]

So how exactly does this thing work. How has the Effort bar effect been shaped into the action bar? (I kind of liked the concept of the effort bar, it just needed to be faster)

The concept was cool in theory, but really wasnt that great in game. I'm glad it's gone. I would rather have 3 skills with different powerlevel on my bar, than having to charge up my attacks with another lag sensitive button press.

Q. Will end game content contain more open area boss fights or will there be more focus on dungeons?


A. We do know the ending of the first story but of course we can't tell you what the ending of the story is. The story that will lead you to a secret area, but we can't reveal anything about that right now.

...I guess SE still doesnt know what endgame is

Q. Will there any type of achievements or trophies to show off defeated bosses or special things done?


A. Yes, we do have a lot of plans. For example, for some quests there will be special rewards. You might be able to get special title depending on what you do, there will be several different things you can get to show off what you've done.

I take that back, the guy doesnt speak english. Most answers were totally off.


Also, retainer system sound retarded. No one in the development team players a korean mmo before? Do they know how fucking annoying it is to browse through 150 bazaar?

[bluefan]

I don't know...on one hand, I found playing through the same dungeon/instance a few times to be fun. But it got very old, very fast. That interview did mention every class having specific gear only they can wear...a beefed up Artifact Armor guildleve?

And I agree, don't know how I feel about the retainer system myself. I hated wading through hundreds of bazaars. And I'm not too keen on leaving my PC/PS3 on all night just to possibly sell some goods.

Did you even read what it does? lol

The system needs more than just offline capability to be successful, but if it's linked to XIV's "AH" or some similar search tool at least browsing through the items will not be such a hassle.

Although that translation is...bad. It could also mean you can play offline or something, the hell >_>

and wtf at the "guild link", the translator is horrible.

[sruon]

Just watched the trailer... amazing.

SE sure knows how to give me shivers.

Bah, should've been more clear. Talking more specifically about the bazaar. Meant to put a new indentation there...anyways...

Retainer I do like the sound of it. Imagine finding this awesome pub to hang out with your friends/linkshell mates. Sit in a chair, retain out and bam, when you're not "online", your character is still sitting there with all the other peeps, just chilling. Adds to the environment, no? Perhaps it could even be possible to set up a reply box if someone engages you. Pure speculation of course, that's why I'm still a bit iffy about it.

[Azureo~]

least i wont be buttonbashing the cutscene's in ff14

Korean MMO? Try FFXI. Rolanberry and all the other traps were massive pains in the ass even if you were looking for something. I think they think it's a good idea because A) people didn't complain enough about it in FFXI and B) people were so pissed about standing in one place for hours on end that they begged for a band-aid instead of fixing the entire asinine system.

[Alkar]

It actually looks like Titan.
Just like there's Ifrit, Leviathan and Bahamut in that trailer.

Good chance.

BTW, if stereoscopic 3D is too much money for anyone...consider this...

Nvidia really wants this 3D thing to take off, eh?
