The guy that has been demoing XIV is either hiding the attacks, or he's just really horrible at controlling the characters.

He just runs around most of the time, and if we're lucky he spends five seconds attacking a bird that's been jabbing him in the back for the past 5 minutes..

Check GameTrailers, and there is not one demo where you can tell what the Hell he is doing.

At first I thought that was just a picture of some white guy, then after awhile I realized it was a member of the blueman group!

It got announced by Sony at E3 as well. They were all happy about it. Would laugh if PS3 version got cancelled.

Come on Yoon, Crystal Defenders is trash. It was trash on the iPhone when I played it, and they didn't change much when porting it over to the PS3. Let's all pretend that one didn't happen.


By the by, I wonder how the "hotbar" scheme will translate over to consoles.

This looks absolutely stunning, too bad we won't get our hands on for a couple of years.

And it also sucks that the video quality sucks, we here on the internets can't appreciate the beauty of the graphics.

I couldn't really tell from the video, but I really hope they did away with the hidden turn based combat from 11. I played 11 for a little bit because of a friend, and even though there wasn't any turn based bar I could remember seeing, the battle would always go like this

Friend attacks
Beast attacks
I attack, rinse and repeat until beast is dead.

At least in WoW, it's somewhat turn based but they have tricks that mask it very well. Rogues for example can use any combination of moves until their energy depletes, and then they wait..but you can get gear or enchants that can lessen the waiting time or make you attack faster.

Whatever the name, it's all the same thing when battles were constantly happening in the order that I listed.

um time and turn based is nothing the same, depending on delay, +haste gear, +haste songs/spells, slow spells, was all a factor in how many times you could hit the enemy before it hit you in FFXI.

im hoping they keep things VERY similar to FFXI in FFXIV

Well keep in mind I only played a black mage until about level 18-20 before the boredom became too much and I told my friend I was cancelling. I played with my friend that whole time (I had to, couldn't kill anything on my own as a Black Mage...another issue I had with the game), and that's exactly how the sequence went with every encounter we had. I guess we were too low for those spells/gear.

I don't fault the game too much though, as it debuted before WoW changed everything. But if they repeat the same mistakes with 14 I'll be very upset.

Lol, really? They actually kept the game an almost complete secret until one year from release. It's pretty unprecedented in the MMO industry

What's most impressive is the depth of the field of vision. You can really see miles away. No damn little fog to hide the flaws of the engine. It looks simply lovely.

Clipping like that can be fixed in a few days :P

Considering we JUST learned about the game at E3, I'd say to even have a playable version of the game, is good progress.

I think someone at Square Enix poured a little too much weak sauce into that, paltry (or should I say, poultry? :snickers:) at best, gameplay footage.

It'll be fun to see all the 360 fanboys that now are spewing hate on the game, suddenly start to appreciate it when the 360 version will (quite probably) be announced :D

I'm more then happy to pay for a monthly subscription of a game that doesn't stink like the majority of free mmos instead of playing a bad free to play and then also being forced to buy extra gear, items, jobs, quests etc.

Looks just like FFXI so far. The proof is in the details, i guess, something a guy like me wouldn't notice.

I should really send this to my friend, though. He's still on that game religiously
