Final Fantasy XIV at E3 2010

Battle looking good, they need to get rid of the command select sound, as youll be pressing a btuton every second..

One thing that still annoys me is the animation from no motion to walk/running, and from walk/running to stopping. It just looks so wierd.

Maybe they are horns, but wouldn't we see them in the second shot of him?

You can see the horns in the second shot. You all think these are feathers and not horns of a gria? O_O

Yup, that sound is just horrible and I'm surprised they're still using it.

Makes me wonder how Battle Regimens have changed.

[Azureo~]

this has just made me want the game even more now! cant wait lol.

[Azurewrath]

I'm confused how the new battle works, is there a bar and you can only spam so much before the bar runs out? And it slowly fills? Thats what it looked like to me

[vadre]

The 'gria' shows up more than once, you see a side-shot of him too talking and I imagine he's a fairly important character considering those others seem to be surrounding him. I think he's either a hyur-el...vaan...(forgot what it's called all of a sudden) cross who's just got a horns-style headdress, or he's got some shweet looking horns.

I'm so pleased with the new battle system, though i think they could add in stacking commands ala ffxiii and i wouldn't complain. Also, just stabbing doesnt really give much of a feel of how things are different. Another thing that comes to mind is that, in long battles what happens when your bar falls to nothing? Perhaps haste sorts this for larger encounters.

Exciting times!!

Where did yous ee this? I just see stuff for the PSP FFT that's already been released.

[Rustyhagun]

^ this. I wouldn't jump your horses with the definitely

But nope, they don't look like feathers, they are 99% horns.

Um guys, maybe you all should look back at the concept art, that the lead artist gave us last year and on the far left you will see the same depiction. Its a gria type race without the wings

Yup, I've been waiting for a tactics with a story the same caliber as the original one for playstation. This looks like it could be a remake, not sure.

No looking at it close up they are too solid to be feathers, there's no transparency. As to being gria for all we know it could be some "special" storyline npc ie prishe it doesn't mean we'll get the race.

Am I really the only one who saw puppetmaster pets in the first seconds of the parade?!?

Added the live report to OP. Also this isn't a SE general discussion thread.

Aye. It's not really that much faster but it's definitely more natural and fluid. If you don't know which attack to use your bar still goes up during that time. And considering you still use TP and limited MP to do these skills you can't just spam them as much as you want, so you might actually need to think about it for a little bit. Not to mention when moving around the bar goes up too.

[Folant]

No, but then they're not new. Seen them ages ago.

They're old news so nobody saying anything They're actually called mammets in XIV.
