Ffxiv is playable!!!

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

If I could get my PC to hook up to my 48" Aquos LCD HDTV then that'd be great but I doubt I could get an HDMI cable long enough that won't break the bank so F it lol.

That's where you are wrong my friend. HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more! has really cheap HDMI cables at any length. You don't need to spend a fortune on an HDMI cable when a cheap one does the exact same justice.

36? 46? Try a 55" Samsung Series 8 OLED TV

I thought OLED wasn't out yet?? I just bought a 40" LED TV and asked the sales guy about the the OLED and he said they haven't hit the shelves yet.

I can't even stand using a PC anymore. I was playing the Aion beta on CK's computer this past weekend and I was so uncomfortable. I actually have grown to prefer my laptop because it lets me be lazy and lie around, while still being able to see the screen and reach the keyboard.

It's pretty sad lol.

You sit right infront of your 37" ?

That would be a little hard to get used to for anybody, I sit about 5metres from my tv when its a monitor for my computer or when I'm using it for other things, how the hell can you see the whole screen at a chairs distance away? you must get a heck of alot of migraines mom.

I give you props for the dedication though, not even i'd do that with a screen that size or my size.

Ya I sit right in front of it. It's about 30 inches away from my face.....which is FAR too close! I spend more time on my laptop now than my desk pc. LOL

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Okay, it looks like there's a quest tracker now like in WoW, that makes me happy. Instead of just killing the 20 chickens and guessing my progress, the game tracks it for me. I appreciate that a lot, if that's what it is.

Looks awesome. I'm SOOOOO tired right now (seriously I haven't worked in 5 years then go back for a 9 hour day, it's killer) but this made me feel better.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Ya, its WAY too big for a computer monitor and it took me months to get used to. I wanted a larger tv for my bedroom but didn't take into account how it would affect my pc use since I use it for both things. Endgame events took their toll on my when I first got it. They usually take several hours to complete and several hours in front of a HUGE GLARING screen = migraines.

I've been gaming with world of warcraft on it at the moment as my staple mmorpg, going to be over the moon when final fantasy 14 is blown up on this beauty, but having to move my eyes around so much will be crazy, it smokes my old bravia which wasn't anywhere near bad but nothing on this things crystal clear display.

I'm kinda thankful after seeing how they are aiming towards a customizable UI with a minimalistic approach to design with it because it will be very nice not to have to clutter my screen with boxes of information like in world of warcraft just to do things properly.

but just out of curiosity is it just me or does the lalafell (taru) look like he's got a stick up his ass while moving around?

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

My computer monitor is a 37" LCD HDTV so I'm good all around since my PS3 is hooked up to it too.

Holy shit....

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Playing this on the PS3 is so much more appealing to me. Whatever, if updates take awhile. Overall, I know I get to run this game smoothly, don't have to buy any upgrades or whatever for PC, and it will look fucking amazing on a big screen TV.

Agreed, nothing like playing in 46" of 1080p glory. Thank you DVI to HDMI adapter, I love you.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Before XIV was announced I already told my husband that next years tax check is going to building me a new up to date computer...........THANK GOD! I would rather play on PC but I do have a couple PS3's too so it really doesn't matter. I just want a new damn computer because my main computer is a HOLY PIECE OF SHIT!

Same... my fiance and I are gonna be doing the same thing. We need new PCs too.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

I don't see a million plug-ins and meters. Oh snaps!

Ok, that was unfounded. But still, I don't see where you're pulling this from.

Either way it's a tremendous step up from the POS we like to call a user interface. It'd be almost impossible to make it worse than XI's unless they literally started coding with the goal of making it worse.

Probably because I've only had cursory glances at the WoW interface and heard that there have been a few MMOs that supposedly mimicked the interface and it wouldn't surprise me to see SE step in line with that standard.

I actually don't mind the FFXI interface aside from the learning curve(read:"brick wall") and a few things with the targeting system.
