About Me
Hey guys and gals,
I'm college student out of New Jersey and an avid gamer ever since I could breathe (sorta). I own a NES, two PS2s, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, GBA, GBA SP, DS Lite, a PC, and a Macbook; and I game on them all. Without a doubt my favorite genre is RPGs, I will live and die by them. I wanna say my first RPG that really hooked me was Final Fantasy VII, and I've been addicted ever since.

I'm going to school right now trying to obtain my bachelors degree Software Engineering, and ultimately I'd love to enter into the gaming industry.

That's all I can really think to say right now. Game on!

Final Fantasy XIV ... best surprise yet.

Just to start, yes I stole the image from the front page story, because it was easy, and I wanted an image.

May I just say... I AM SO EXCITED. Years I've waited for the next MMORPG from Square Enix, and the trailer makes me jizz in my pants. Trailer Here

From what it looks like, it's basically next-gen Final Fantasy XI, which is precisely what I wanted. Although I think this is a very wise decision, as it will likely entice most of its current FFXI community to make the transition to XIV... I would have like to see some variation in races; because it seems to contain the 5 same races. Maybe they will add some new races, I would hope with the 4 years they've had to work on this, there will be a lot of new content.

Before I continue on my rant, here is a nice little snippet of concept art that I found on the intrawebz.
Concept Art

Okay.

Well, the trailer looks so amazing and the more I watch it, and the more excited I get. First let me say the world looks BEAUTIFUL, the opening pan of the large river valley and mountains is breathtaking and I can't wait to experience that.

As we move onto the brief battle scene with the creepy little flying jellyfish-crab... things. WHAT is that spell!?, looks awesome. I would love to see some new jobs that we didn't see in FFXI be added to this new one, which I'm sure (hopefully) we will.

AND THEN.... LEVIATHAN ANYONE? This trailer is so jam-packed that it's almost impossible to catch everything the first time. I can't wait to see what the main plot is... a land embraced by gods.... hmmm. :)

I love the face that they're keeping the same visual style (it seems) as Final Fantasy XI, the boats, the airship fighter.. jawns that they show look sick as well.

Could you imagine if they really incorporate PVP as a main feature into the game, maybe some larger scale battles... ARMORED CHOCOBOS FINALLY!? MAYBE!?

I couldn't be more excited right now and I hope that it lives up to my expectations.

Square Enix conference tomorrow, PLEASE RELEASE GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE. <3

That is all for now, surely more tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your E3 fellow Dtoiders.

While I really have no intention to play the game... The announcement was probably the biggest surprise of E3.

FF 14? No way. He must mean versus. FF 14... No way that's possibl... *Watches trailer* Ohh my...

FFXI on 360 disappointed me so its really hard to get excited by FFXIV.

I thought it was a pretty big announcement. I, too, also thought he meant to say Versus.

It would have been better (I don't know if that's the word) if he first announced it as a sequel to FF XI online. Maybe it has potential to be a great online game since it's an exclusive, unless it's actually timed and SquareEnix will whore the game out to every console known to man.

Well, from the way Sony's press conference seems... they're really trying to stress exclusives, and the power of the PS3.

I'm not sure exactly but I think the PS3 is a little bit more powerful than the 360. That being said, if the PS3 is the baseline requirement.. then the game will have over all better quality.

However, also, Microsoft has a bajillion monies and they already have FFXIII and now MGS... I'm sure it'd be possible for them to snag it for 360... buttttttt idk. I doubt it's coming to the 360.

You got me. I was skeptical, but if the game does indeed include chocobo cavalry then I am in.

It looks like Sony understands how exclusives work now. I think they will work to make this and Versus 13 exclusive.

This is definitely on my want list. I wonder if there will be some badass set for it, or something?

@ F Whipple- I would obviously die for a chocobo cavalry game... If this game can capitalize on that, I would be more willing to keep an eye on it. I wasn't a fan after slogging through a few months of FFXI, so it all depends on what is shown in the future.

A game about chocobo knights would be so cool. Hell, if you could be a chocobo night in this game... ill be rich from all the semen I'll have to donate.
