People like to speculate.

I was talking about getting gil for campaign services the same way SeeDs get a salary according to their rank. But if you want me to explain how I think the job would work I have some (a lot of) ideas about that as well.

nono... thats ok


its funny though people keep talking like FFXIV is going to have all the things FFXI has at its "end" when SE already said the two games will be completely different -.-

You and your SeeD job. Have you even laid out what it would be like? Isn't SeeD just a rank in a game with no jobs?

Shhhhhhhhhhh.

Do you really want to hear him propose a way to convert a plot element into a gameplay class?

I'd love to actually get in on the Beta test -whenever it may be- but I'd be happy with it just starting so we could get some damn information. And while the point of a Beta is to test and tweak, we'd get a much better grasp on just how solo-player friendly the game is, how combat and jobs work. For me, the major make or break point is if they truly make solo an equally accessible path to cap and decent gear, or if it's just smoke in the wind and they stick to something Campaign-like, which while solo-friendly, is rather tedious. And my 360 just loves to freeze halfway through. Damn thing can't even handle the stuff on screen for XI, how in heaven's name do they expect to put XIV on it and have it not stutter to death in major towns?

And I really, really do want more AH slots. If they insist on us still sticking to that and farming to death for money, I want more slots at least. I'd rather have NPC-able garbage be a feasible source of income as well, but I don't think SE would ever go in for something like that, judging from their mass overreaction on nerfing prices on things. Yeah, yeah, RMT used them. But so did quite a lot of legit players. I don't like being shoehorned into their 'preferred' method of making gil. I hate crafting. It's boring as sin on XI. It's boring as sin on LotRO. XI is worse because of the 'synth umpteen things and maybe get a .1 up' bit, but both are pretty damn dull. Maybe if drop rates were less atrocious. Why, why, why do Crawlers, say, in CN for example, have an equally suck drop rate on silk thread? Sure, they shouldn't be 100%, but having roughly the same rate as the little guys out in Sarutabaruta?

dont worry about the horrible performance on FFXI to matter with FFXIV, FFXI is running emulated on both PC and 360..... and thats why the performance is so horrible

A Beta so soon would be nuts. If they really are so far along, great job on their part for keeping it underwraps till now.

Hell yeah dude.. It's easy to do though. I mean they mentioned something bout 4 years ago and we all forgot about it. So they've had that long to make and perfect and get tons of feedback from the FFXI community. So they probably decided.. hey we're ready, and we got our teaser trailer at E3

Re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

Ya the title of the blog article even says "SPECULATION: Beta as early as Sept." but I just wanted to clarify so we don't have people making threads "WHOOOOOOOOOO BETA STARTING IN SEPTEMER!!" "ARE YOU GOING TO BETA TEST IN SEPT?" "POST HERE IF YOU ARE BETA TESTING IN SEPT!!1!1!"

IM BETAING IN SEPT!!!


But say that was true.. They hiring to pay people to be GM's or unpaid beta testers? I was confused..

Re: E3 2009: FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Coming in 2010

Aww, and I wanted to start a thread titled "Post here if you don't care about Beta, even if it starts in September"


But yeah, while it probably would be nice to be there I wont go out of my way to get in even if I happen to find out about it soon enough (I always miss that kinda stuff.)
