for Keli (and anyone else who wants to see)

I wasn't going to do MMORPG again, but I'll probably at least do it for 2 months just to explore the newness of it. Hope there's like a trial, but I'd still have to buy the disk. Maybe SE learned a few things with salvage, assault, etc and take the camping out of it.

I say Eden rejoins once again in the new FF!
I will be there, what else do you need?!

[Kariana]

lol fuji posted this too - in the news and announcements section title e3

[Machdaddy]

Seriously, though, this looks promising to me. My main gripe with FFXI is that I ran out of things to do. However I love the combat system, the look, jobs, and their great way of adding good storylines to the game. SE has always been great with combat systems imo, and that's a defining point for an MMO. For the first time in ages, I'm actually looking forward to being a level 1 nub and exploring a new online world.

[Kooyo]

i doubt ill buy this. fuck starting from scratch

[dionious]

PS3 Exclusive booooooooooooooooooo..... The one system i'll never get lol

[Lutia]

The guy says "PS3 will be the only console...."

which means

No to Xbox360, yes to PC, since PC isnt a console.

[Kooyo]

it tru dey r shuttin down ffxi??

[Kariana]

maybe ... you would think eventually most xi players would port over or switch

maybe you wont have to start over maybe you will be able to import your 11 character to 14

I hope the system is nothing like ffxi's. Faster moving characters, more fluid animation, less zoning, better armor system, less sidegrades, redone drop system, better class upgrades per level not traits+spells+ja etc. I'll be watching it but I want this to be a reimagined ff mmorpg, not a graphics update to break away from the old code of ffxi. Less depending on large groups, more fun solo and small groups, better endgame.

Horn race?




Wanderers? Maybe this is a alternate dimension, or past? What if it's like far east (tenzen), and the galka island + more? It's still in Vana'diel

[ItsSeflol]

Olde as fucke.
Also, No.

[ItsSeflol]

Also, anyone who didn't think Rapture was FF14 is literally retarded.

[Ploid]

They said they wouldn't call it a ff number. It was believed to be given it's own name. Hence Rapture.

[ItsSeflol]

You were incorrect.

[Ploid]

Shut up sef, ur incorrect!

[Iceflare]

on the website information it says "Windows" after PS3 <.< >.>

[Ploid]

Yep, it's on next gen systems.
