New FFXIV Scans

i have a question.

do you think ppl will try to have the same name as they do on ffxi?

I was in that /v/ thread.
FOR I AM NOBLESSE OBLIGE.
Like I said,how they are going about this is making me skeptical of the end result.

Good chance I will, most likely it'll be Eagleeye instead. (my first choice was taken)

I will most likely Try! Also the same Char :3

Anyone able to translate the magic squiggle? Also that vid that someone posted is already gone... Any other sources for that anywhere?

be lucky you can see these things blaz, for i am at work and cant not view them lol. tho i have tried just about every proxy server to view, but no use ><;.

Ok first to all dreamers that think FFXIV will take place in Vanadiel:

It won't. They stated it clearly. I think i read somewhere it would take place close to FFXII (gimme some time to find it, still at work and can't look it up).

Besides I dunno what you guys have with the tarus. I always hated their onionheads, i love how they look now, way cooler and more realistic (seriously when body = head evolution must hate you).

At all the armors shown are the quality i have expected, even if they are just preview-ish pics and most likely not ingame, they are detailed and nicely made, but still not overdone like in Aion where everything looks like an anime sahagin~, ergo perfect. August 18th will show us a lot more info and I'm looking forward to that.

Now i have to take the task.... Elvaan again or Taru... or a castrated galka without a tail? {Hmmm.}... Elvaan ftw ;P

Can some JP-EN dude translate the text in the scans? I would actually like to know the descriptions. :D

i agree o.o

2nd picture is Time Mage! hell yea!

Ivalice? Theres already 4 games setted in Ivalice (FF Tactics (GBA and PSX) And FFXII and Revenant Wings).

Game looks so nice! YAY :D I am going to pick Mithra this time around I think...:3

i just hope game play is the same as picter/video trailer graphics.

side note:
1) new tarus look feaking scary, im sorry <.<
2) the new battle system they were talking about seems intersting.... no xp gain, charcter growth with quest you do, and weapons you use (wonders how this will wok)

Mithra look like they might actually be fap worth this time around, rather than looking like they're hairy all over.

The second mithra picture looks alot more promising than the first. Much more mysterious and ethereal than the first Plain Jane looking one.

Also I agree tarutaru lost all their cuteness in exchange for something creepy/disturbing. It may be realistic but it was their overgrown heads on misporportioned bodies that made them cute and lovable to begin with.

A Galka without tail...I like it. I hate how current galka look in FFXI. Hume, Elvaan, Mithra are kool but Taru look freaking creepy.

The Taru things...They remind of those scary movie twin girls "come play with us...forever and ever"

Also reminds me of Momo from Xenosega =X

taru's better not look scary like that, i wont be one if it looks crappy like that

Still little info, but enough to say that you can at least customize it in some way, i hope we get a wide range of choices unlike we have now. About the armor categories ... this sounds really interesting, but still leaves a lot room for speculation. The best part for me personally is the "you can change your abilities anywhere at every time". This leaves so many tactical uses in battle. I think FFXIV therefore will be much faster in gameplay than ffxi.



Before you judge now, theese are categories and not jobs. I expect them to just discribe a lot possibilities in what way ur char may advance. SPECULATION, I CHOOSE YOU!! xD

I hate eorzeapedia already.

Anyhow...

The job categories seem like they're just what you might be doing at that time... Like, Fight/Sorcerer is what you'd be on when you're actually killing ***. Crafter is for crafting of course, but it makes me wonder if Crafter and Gatherer classes will have any use in battle, or if they really are just for crafting and HELM. Also if they have a whole class for Gatherer, it makes me wonder if they're going to try and expand on the HELM side of things a bit?

Still, interesting that you can change class at any time, sounds a bit broken to me to be able to change from a BLM to a PLD in the middle of battle <_<

Hey don't worry, it's SE... Might sound broken but wait until SE comes up with the /randomlimitation on that. Like you can only do it outside of battles, when your not engaged or every XX-Minutes (Maybe they use it as 2hr lmao). At all, SE is famous for not making it easy for us. I doubt you can change into a Healer, throw a cure and change back to a tank again. There will surely be some kind of penalty.

I wonder how hard the mobs will be. If there is solo-content i think they will go down fast, what i don't hope. Mobs in FFXI were way more challenging that in other games where you just spam ur spells for 3 secs and target the next.

Well apparently there are a few "modes" of fighting. Can't remember exactly how they explained it, but it's like, there's one vs one style, party vs one, one vs many, and party vs many.

So like the video they released, the scene on the boat with the Galka fighting those things that look like strays would be an example of one or party vs many. It was done using the in-game engine too :o

Nor penises.

Nor souls.

lol

at least people will take us seriously now ;)

u need a spanking

I'd be turned on if I wasn't pretty damn sure that you were a guy.

source it ain't part of current vana'diel...? retard

Did you just agree with him then call him a retard, or do you just really suck at quoting life?
