Final Fantasy XIV at E3 2010

Marionettes aren't new, being as they were shown as a mob when the game was initially announced, or shortly after some time. They look pretty freaking awesome though, and I so want PUP to make a reappearance.

EDIT: Also, in the concept art the kid has pointy ears too, i could well see this being either a specific NPC in the art and game, or another race.

No wings, no tail, but otherwise very Gria; horns (obviously) and pointed ears.

Honestly, it makes sense, Akihiko Yoshida is the art director. He's been the character designer or art supervisor for nearly the entire Ivalice series and its spin-offs.

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.

It's just War of the Lions for iPhone.

[Hatedregret]

Apologies, honestly must have missed the talk about them up to now. Thanks for the correction though.

Yup, Vadre is right... It's in there.

[Gwynplaine]

You guys are just seeing what you want to see. Like the lizardman on the boat with his arm up.

Or maybe the kid is like some story NPC who is a hybrid with a Mithra mother and a Hume father.

[Kaslo]

Ok so:

Moogles - meh, I would rather have Ivalice moogles at this point :/

Goobue Rampage - Awesome!

Remake of Zi'Tah - meh, but pretty

Battle System - Awesome!

[ScootSeraph]

Gridania looks awesome as well. I'm assuming that little clip was it.

[Rowe]

this says it all

[Titanss]

Also this isn't a SE general discussion thread.

who cares?

[BlackheartX]

I need a gif of that Goobue saying " gtfo outta mah way!!!"

Kid has pointy ears as well in the second shot with the side view if you pause it at the right time. you will see the hone and ears. Also, Moogles are concepts from the "crystal chronicles" series.

[Rowe]

contrasted against the Moogle you can clearly see it is a horn

[vadre]

Yeah I just meant that he might either be a one-of-a-kind character theyve always planned, and thus we're seeing him or something very similar in the concept art from way back.. or he's one of many in a new race. Either's pretty good.
I also get the feeling just from the seriousness of his very brief appearance that perhaps he's not so much a child as child-like in appearance perhaps? Just supports the Gria thing really i guess.

[Gentaro]

Those masked guys around the kid underline that he has an important role

[Tomino]

Horned kid seems a lot like a storyline NPC to me...

As for the battle system, I am clueless.. It simply looks like she's spamming moves WoW style and I dont get the purpose of the bar moving up and down as she does so...

They could be a bunch of NPC bandits that live in some forest. Either that or Linkshell leaders can mandate LS Masks all members must wear.

[Egon]

I think all moves still cost TP, and TP goes up like a ATB thingy in FF13. But maybe I'm wrong.

It works like in FFXIII. Instead of waiting for the bar to charge fully you just spend ATB bar segments to perform actions. The bar slowly charges back up so you can either spam a few attacks and then wait or slow down and let it recharge a bit.
I suppose the Effect Gauge has been removed or serves another purpose?
