So, now that Gamescom is officially underway and Square Enix has brought FFXIV along as promised... everyone was wondering what would be revealed. Well, you bitched and you moaned, some of you were excited, some of you bitched some more, but finally it is here... and Square is running a playable alpha version of FFXIV on the floor at Gamescom.

I personally am not there, so all I will do is link to some sites where you can stay up to date. I haven't seen much actual new info being revealed, however there are plenty of pictures and videos to go around for the time being.

Check out these sites:

http://www.ffxivcore.com/index.php?/topic/424-ffxiv-at-gamescom-updated-all-the-time (Coverage by a FFXIVCore member directly from Gamescom floor)

I will update this blog, or make a new one if I hear anything new, so stay tuned.

P.S. There have been no updates to the NA FFXIV site, not sure about the EU site.

Edit:

In case no one has ventured beyond his page to look for some info on their own, here's a couple screen shots I was excited by.

CACTUAR AND MALBORO!



Look at that draw distance, and it all looks explorable!



Shows the Gladiator class and some skills it can use. (Provoke, Red Lotus, Shield Bash, among others. I can't translate, but there are translations around on some of the sites.)



Shows some areas of Eorzea that will be explorable.



And last but not least, some other classes? Gatherer/Ranger/Monk/Warrior(maybe a Berserker variant, as opposed to the Gladiator?)



Also, check these two forum posts for some updates/general discussion by other fans.
