Cause NA players aren't worth it. (for SE)


...what? <_<



Also, if only the game actually looked like that...

Did you see the taru bard on the free trial section? Does he appear in the NA site? (My bet is no way, but still is always better to ask. )

Ya, it's not fair. If there's one think I want, no need, more of in my life, it's advertisements. Especially for products and services I already pay for.

Mhurron is grumpy because he wants that FF potion drink to be comercialized here.

Yeah the screenshots section is how the game looks, the main image is not. It has crazy things like way higher poly count models, higher background-res, AA and AF among other crazy things enabled.

Unless of course SE is advocationg for us to use the windower there's no way the game will look like that.

Get ready to be surprised! My ultimate rig has the latest in technology.

- Pentium 3 proc.
- Not one but two(!) 128MB PC2100 ram totaling an outstanding 256MB!
- Super SoundBlaster Live! sound card
- Video card for the latest slot type (AGP 4x) with an impressive 64MB of memory.
- CD drive with (wait for it) CD burning capabilities!
- And last but not least massive storage capacity thanks to a 60GB HDD

So, are we feeling silly for joking about my super computer yet?

I wish I still had my Packard Bell so I could laugh at it. It was a Pentium I with like 64MB of ram at the most. Integrated Audio and Video, CD Drive, and a 1GB Hard Drive that was compressed to 2GB.

My Mom's Pionex P3 has 256MB Ram, CD Burner/DVD Drive, Integrated Graphics (This was before AGP, it had all PCI Slots.) and a 100GB HD.

Man I miss my old computer, I haven't been able to play Star Trek Armada ever since I stopped using 98.

DirectX 6 ftw

Polygon count looks the same, and I see jaggies on the WHM as well as on the Ranger (look at the bow). The only thing that doesn't fit is the textures seem to be higher rez for some, not all, of the characters, like they touched it up a little bit.

You don't need windower to boost the resolution on your game. Hell when I first started playing with my new com my game looked a lot like the stuff on the first page...until I tried walking in WG. After that I turned down the settings to be a bit less detailed, but far more functional.

Re: It's not fair lol!

Travelling to Cali for the fanfest isn't as fun or as interesting as it may seem though.

Although yeah, at least games get here much faster. o_O
