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!

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

I have no doubt my PC will run this game. And if not, well, I upgrade parts once a year anyway.

Oh yeah... I have a PS3 too. Weeeeeee.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Well, I have both a pretty good PC and a PS3 and I'm hoping to be able to run it on both. I just hope the connection speed will be better than it was for FFXI on my PS3 jesus christ. Updates that took 20 minutes on my PC took up to 3 hours on my PS3...

I also need to get a new Keyboard >.>

I sent him a text asking him to ask about the PC specs. He said he will ask tomorrow. So, we will have to wait and see.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

I think alot of pc players are going to need a upgrade, spazz can your friends get a hold of the specs of those rigs running it?

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Did anyone else notice the 3000 TP the 1 guy had? Maybe it's something else in german I don't get (like how it says LP instead of HP?) but wtf all the same.

2. The interface turned into a WoW clone, how disappointing.

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.

Two things popped out at me from the video:

1. Holy crap a minimap!

2. The interface turned into a WoW clone, how disappointing.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Okay, break room computers at my new job are slower than your 85 year old grandmother's driving.

I really want to check those links out, too, but hell if I'm gonna spend my whole lunch trying to get them to load.

Also, there some guy here named Armando and it's freaking me out a little.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Anyone notice in the 2nd play video that when you stop, your character actually has the body language of a person stopping quickly, and turning around

Yes I noticed that too. The movement is so much more fluent and realistic.

Circle Blade 2.0 doesn't have to do OMGDMG. If its cost to use is low enough and/or it can be reused with a decent frequency, that's all that's needed for it to be a useful attack.

I know. I was just pointing out how that most Melee AoE skills are crap. If it does a decent amount of damage and its... "cool down" is low enough, it will be a useful skill. Especially if it will be many on many like what I have been hearing.

Re: Ffxiv is playable!!!

Spinning scythe does crap damage compared to most other scyth WS.

Yes, but see, Spinning Scythe costs the same TP as Guillotine.

Circle Blade 2.0 doesn't have to do OMGDMG. If its cost to use is low enough and/or it can be reused with a decent frequency, that's all that's needed for it to be a useful attack.
