The race that changes depending on whether it's day or night (or maybe sunlight/moonlight (I can't remember)) sounds cool even though I'll probably never play this, it's going to be very nice to look at it though.
Um.. This game doesn't look anything like FFXI nor has there been any evidence of it having any similar style of gameplay. FFXI is my favorite mmorpg. I've played it for 6 years and I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to make the switch or not.
So, since there is no 'XP' System, I wonder how possible it will be to see. 'Skill Points'.
My thinking with skill points, is that they will increment based off mobs you kill, and are likely to increment @ an incredibly low rate. For anyone who played FFXI, you know that being @ Par level in skills or whatever, is normally a scarlet letter - IE: "Oh, you just leveled to 75, grats... you didn't Cap your Merits yet?!?!?! GIMP!"
The example is over-dramatic, unless you aren't playing with a group of friends. :p
As for the 'Inventory to Job Change issues', they could let you set an equipped set (or items) of your equipment to 'Active Job Only', unless you are in your Mog house (or the like).
That way, you could change jobs on the fly, and still keep your inventory relatively clear. If you have a Neck piece you would like to keep equipped for Multiple jobs, just don't flag it as 'Only equip on 'x' Job' before leaving the Mog house.
I'm not trying to bash this next MMO by any means, but I am aware that SE has a huge amount of catchup to do, in the MMO-sphere.
Instancing is another thing they need to embrace in FFXIV, as they started to put some in the ToAU content, but neglected on the older, more limited by Single instance constraints - AKA Dynamis.

Thats cool Jehuty. Come back soon with your witty insight please.
Will get this.
Hopes aren't very high though.

I'm still waiting to find out what the monthly fee is... that will be the decision making point as to my interest in this game...
I can't wait for this game!
It looks like the "leveling system" will work just like XI (or tactics), but just for weapons instead of classes. Since it seems that your armor controls what class you currently are, there will be no need to go back to town to swap jobs. Having the ability to swap on the fly (or close to) is pretty awesome, I like the example they used. "If you're a warrior soloing, and you need to heal yourself, just change jobs to your mage class." I imagine there will be severe limitations on how many jobs you can have access to at a time, probably based on the inventory space you have to carry the equipment (or just weapon) needed to change jobs. This adds a pretty interesting flow to the game, and should allow for more solo play or varied leveling experience.
If square has learned anything from the other MMO games (good and bad things), I hope to see a lot more casual gameplay, lots of returning elements from XI, and hopefully plenty of new changes to the gameplay.
I'd say that this game FEELS like FFXI, but doesn't look anything like it (besides the same races with new names), graphically it looks wonderful, and I imagine even better once we have direct feed instead of scans.

lol....i sent the email with the news 50 minutes ago...lolz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and @jehuty: yes...another shitty mmorpg....ppl like u and ppl who play wow are the reason why they moved away from making a another awesome, beautiful HARDCORE mmorpg.
Looks like XIV is shaping up to be a good bit different than its predecessor. I hope it can deliver on the promises it's making. I enjoyed XI when I played it, hopefully some of these new features will be the fresh breath of air I need to get me back into MMOs.
@JehutyFromHell: If you don't care don't post.
I can't help but wonder if these are placeholder models? XIV is far from completion yet, they may well change the models completely in the time between now and release day.

This is what is ruining MMO's. The only MMO left that caters to a hard core crowd any more is Eve Online, and that has a ridiculously steep learning cliff.

I'm no furry, but if you dont include mithra i might just have to pass on this
Its also hard to say whether or not it looks like FFXI, the setting certainly is not vanadiel. but without proper screenshots its too early to tell how closley this gasme world resembles it
too similar to vanadiel and I wont come within 10 feet of the game...i'll just resubscribe to FFXI

This looks nothing like FFXI. Sure, the character designs are similar because they're the same, but there is a huge upgrade in graphics.
Also, it looks like a FFXI sequel because it is a FFXI sequel. Also, MGS4 looks like a Metal Gear Solid sequel. Mario Galaxy looks like a Mario 64 sequel.
@rainbowblack - Mithras are in the game, but like all the other races, the name was changed. (proof here, and here). Furries can rest easy at night.
@Exquisitor - by ruining MMO's, do you mean it's drawing the biggest audience of any MMO that's ever existed? Some might say that WoW is ruining MMO's, but exactly how is it doing that? Because you can solo to the level cap? Just like every single genre of game out there, MMO's are being refined into more accessible and user-friendly versions of themselves. This is not bad for MMO's, because it bolsters the community, i.e. the most important aspect of an online game. Archaic gameplay conventions are being tossed out the window because they are impractical. If you want forced group play, there are tons of instances out there that require a group to play through. There is still plenty of hardcore play in WoW and other MMO's that allow casual play. They just give the option for casual players to get into the game as well.

I'm with Elsa here. The price is the deciding factor here for me. Mainly, if there is a monthly fee, then I'm out.
Same as everyone else here. Depends on the price. I WILL pay a monthly fee but it has to be low. I'm already planning on a monthly fee for two other MMO's lmao. . .
@ JehutyFromHell ,
Cool, you clicked on a link for an MMO, which you don't care about. Way to go, you!
@ Exquisitor,
"This is what is ruining MMO's. The only MMO left that caters to a hard core crowd any more is Eve Online, and that has a ridiculously steep learning cliff."
It's ruining MMO's because they want to deliver a game to people that also happen to have lives? Why would they not want to tap into that market?
What the hell is the hardcore crowd anyway? Define that. I think it's imaginary. Unless hardcore = 10 hours a day. But "hardcore" crowd makes it sound way cooler then it actually is.

The scenery looks beautiful, are those in-game?
Wasn't excited before but those landscapes inspired me!

Well let it be known this will be the very first FF sequel from a different FF number. FF series never followed a sequel from a different number, each story is its own original story, this is why allot of people are confused.
Right now, this game is looking sweet of course, because of the HD CG, but there is no actual game play to prove it is going to look as beautiful as the screens are. Not to mention they already somewhat ruined (to me) the game by keeping the same races from FFXI and just renaming their names.
Also, if their idea of making a new race playable from old monsters from FF11 and not a original new race, well I will be a bit more disappointed.
Everything sounds cool in writing and in these nice HD screen-shots which normally are not the actual in-game screen-shots, everyone knows this as a fact from Square-Enix. So until they release some in-game game play footage and that characters can finally jump, don't be to surprised.

I think the general idea of "hardcore" in MMO context is anything that takes a really long time to do. Because EVE is not a hard game, it's pretty easy once you figure out what skills do what, what ship upgrades do what, etc. FFXI was not a hard game either, it was actually quite mind-numbingly easy once you figured out how aggro, skillchains, and magic bursts worked. It just took a long time to do stuff.
"Hardcore" players like this because it sets them apart from new players. They don't like the idea of someone catching up to them in a few months, they want it to take years. This is why EVE is "hardcore", there is no way to really catch up to someone who has been playing for years if they are actively training their skills. They like to look down at newbies with their radiant glowing aura thinking, "he will never be me". While in real life, pimples are forming on their asses and backs from sitting in a chair too long.

@ParaParaKing: You're 100% wrong. FFXIV has nothing in common with FFXI at all and so it is not a sequel in any way. The ONLY thing similar are the looks of the races and the fact that it has Final Fantasy in the name.
@Exquisitor: I agree completely. FFXI was a true hardcore mmo when it was released and SE caved into all of the bitching and now look what happened. Nearly every lv75 doesn't know how to play their job. I got RDM from 1-75 in about a week and it pissed me off because that should take months. The hardcore players left all have Maat's Cap which requires you to have 15? jobs at lv66+. I want a real hardcore mmo to make up for the WoWtardation of online RPGs.

bustaballs, I completely agree with you but when you compare these 2 pics, how can you say it is not. Just because square tells you it is not? do you have eyes and self judgment to notice for your self they are kinda... just remaking FF11 all over instead of making totally new IP?
Yes I want a hardcore MMO that weeds out weak people who can't play and reward those who can be quick and good. I agree with your hardcore statement but certain things SE did go a little bit far to off, like monsters popping one time a week with cool rewards when theres 2500 people wanting the same item on one server? and making drops not 100%? some things SE made the system so people would hate each other to death, hatred between players emerged and many turned from being good people players to damn ugly hateful machines. That is not my way of thinking of being Hardcore. I don't want the FF11 end-game drama that caved in to everyone to ever happen again.

Final Fantasy XIV isn't a direct sequel to XI because of those basic differences. It's a different world, therefore a different story line, different events, different (albeit very subtly) races, the works. I similar art direction doesn't make it a direct sequel. No numbered Final Fantasy game has been confirmed a direct sequel without referencing the game it's a sequel to in its name (X-2, VII: Crisis Core, XII: Revenant Wings), and I doubt that this will be an exception.
That being said, I played XI for 5 years and I'm pumped as hell for this to come out.

omfg m8s...stop bitching around....it will be a good mmorpg...so just wait for it...and dont talk what size ya dick on ffxi got and what u did and what u dont make...and what else...keep it coming.
This game looks more like real parts of Earth than anything in FFXI Colette. Going to have to disagree with you. And considering there's no exp and levels, most people's usual bitching about MMOs doesn't really apply. But hey.
I predict another average MMO like everything else released in the MMO market. The only saving grace is the removal of the leveling system.
I hate to be a dick, but does anyone actually read the C-blogs?
Crunshii posted scans yesterday, and then I dug up a lot more, including the Blue Gartr thread, and posted and I think maybe 20 people noticed? But as soon as an editor front pages a story, it's like magic: HOMAIAWD DERE'S FFXIV PICTURES!?
Just bothers me and makes me feel like C-blogs get overlooked by so many people. Seen many times info posted in a C-blog before it was a Dtoid story, and the Cblogs get over looked. But anyway, no offense to you Colette, I'm glad someone put this more out in the open, especially the Blue Gartr post, because it's good. But anyway /endrant.
Onto some more pressing matters:

@mxs102- If I had time to read all the cblogs every day in addition to running Tomopop, writing for Dtoid and Japanator and handling all of Dtoid's contests, I would, trust me! Unfortunately, the traffic report I run at the end of the day proves that thousands more people read the front page than the cblogs, so we still post news if even you guys already have due to that. I understand it makes you guys feel overlooked, but trust me, there's a reason for it.
I understand Colette, totally under stand the busy schedule.
Just an angry rant, lol. Don't be mad ^^;

"just the wake up call the genre needs"?
Get real. It doesn't change a thing. Other rpgs don't use exp but they still manage to find a way to force in a grind. And this is Squeenix. There is no f'ing way they would make an MMO and not include a grind. They really don't care about making their games fun anymore so much as profitable.
And how are they going to sucker in people to play? By saying there's no exp. By providing the illusion that they're making some revolution to the genre when they're not.

@trunxkam45 - I don't understand why people like you need to get all their negativity out there to try and convince others, who are genuinely excited for the game, that it will suck?
Square has SAID that the game will involve grinding, as is natural with any MMO, it's not going to be that easy. They're not trying to trick people into playing the game either.
The appeal for many people in an MMO IS the challenge, if you haven't noticed, there are people complaining that it may be too casual. Grinding is enjoyable and part of the experience, to an extent. It's impossible not to have to grind. How the hell else would you level up?
There's no experience, they said, but you need to level up your skills somehow, and let me reiterate THEY SAID THERE WILL BE GRINDING.
Please, before you speak, become informed.

its cool mxs102, I <3 Colette and she found more pictures that I didn't have + of course a much professional article than my hate thread. More discussion from everyones point of view I always welcome, especially about FF14 because as you can see on this page, allot of people have mixed feelings how SE is doing their job and its our job as consumer of their products to let them know how we feel on their decisions.
Believe it or not SE did listen to the fanbase of FF11 since day 1. Remember they removed monsters MPK to players? (God how much I loved THAT SH!T!) and made a system people could level with their friends at the very end with Level Sync. I applaud SE for listening to their fans and making the correct adjustments so people can have fun.
Yes I believe strongly in hardcore players should get better rewards, but for that you would need your hardcore guild and just stick with them. forget about the rest. On FF11, even so SE made it easy for people to reach end game, noobs could never kill Tiamat, Dark Horseman, Absolute Virtue, Jormungand, (only kirin and maybe).
@trunxkam45, well, it is a MMORPG and thats usually what that type of gaming is. If you don't like it then don't play it. The + side of playing a Squeenix MMO is that you can have allot of replay value with online friends in one game instead of spending $60x (X amount of games bought per month) and you just pay $15 or so.

@mxs102 and crunshii: Heh. You avoided the nuance of my argument. Figures. I was analyzing the reason for square-enix to say that there are no experience points. I am saying that they're trying to create the illusion of an innovative game when nothing is changed because there will still be a grind as this is an MMO. Grinds facilitate the need to make boring world maps and open plains with nothing else aside from battling.
Compare it to say super mario rpg. All the stages are linked together. You really don't need to go back and forth between levels to earn experience as one time through will earn you enough to be formidable against any oncoming enemies. The stages are pretty different and minigames and such are also integrated to make it more varied and less of repetitive, well, WORK.

Regardless of how similar the races are to FFXI, I think the game is going to be great. I love just about everything that Square has it name on, so I'm down with it. Plus, give them some credit, FFXI was their first MMO and look how well that turned out. Sure there were flaws, but everything has flaws, and... beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as we all know. So what some people see as flaws, others liked; such as the difficulty in FFXI.
The FFXIV team has a lot more experience this time around than they did making FFXI, and I'm sure the finished product is going to be awesome. Everyone LOVES to hate and no matter how much people say FFXIV looks horrible, or it will suck, I will play it in the end regardless and I know I will enjoy it.
If Square listened to every little thing that the community said they should do, they'd probably be in a bad position right now. Obviously they know what they're doing, and I think the game is going to be great.

@trunxkam - That's fine and all but Super Mario RPG is a linear game with a final goal, as you described.
As you should know, MMO's don't really end, and as you are told by the ESRB - "GAME EXPERIENCE MAY CHANGE DURING ONLINE PLAY." - Meaning that the game is always changing, new things are added, forcing you to grind to gain levels, skill points, merit points, gear, whatever you need to get in order to complete the content the game is offering.
I don't know about you, but I don't know of another MMO that is like FFXIV, please, enlighten me if you know. And then tell me everything about FFXIV since you seem to know that it's NOT innovative.
Quite frankly, your argument is stupid.

I'm not trying to convince myself... from what I've see of the game, I am very interested and I can already tell I will like it.
You're not making sense.
You're not making sense.
Yea well all final fantasy games are linear. I'd rather have a linear good simple game as opposed to an open world grindfest feigning freedom. Just because there are npcs and a world map which are constantly being updated does not mean it's truly complex and free. It just means there's more.
My argument is "stupid"? I think I have been bested by one of the leading debaters of our time! You sir, are the newly proclaimed "Master Debater".
All MMOs appear to be different on the surface. But there really isn't much adventure. It's all within the confines of a regular rpg. Fetch quests, battles, etc.
"Game experience may change during online play" just means that somebody online might say "assholio".

Yea I am making sense. You cannot say a game is going to be good just by looking at pictures. I thought we went over this in pre school? you know "can't judge a book by its cover"?
I have an idea. If you don't want answers, DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!

now guys, drop your onion sword and blind knife, both of you know u will play this game and only then you will have the actual facts to like it/hate it, continue playing it or simply quit.
You are correct, SE is adding a illusion to FF14 to change peoples perspective on EXP, lets just wait and see if its a good implementation. It is the same as MS offering MS points to buy games and stuff, it gives the people the illusion that they need MS points. I see right through it and I don't fall for it but I can't brag about it because people do love to spend on MS points, so the marketing works for Microsoft. Just like Apple, I don't like their "You use a PC? aw sorry your not cool" marketing because the specs they sell for $1300 to be "cool" does not justify that my $400 laptop does the exact same. But people fall for the marketing and if they succeed, then people will buy it. If they don't do it right then guess what, they will go the way of TurboGraph16.

I see right through it and I don't fall for it but I can't brag about it because people do love to spend on MS points, so the marketing works for Microsoft. Just like Apple, I don't like their "You use a PC? aw sorry your not cool" marketing because the specs they sell for $1300 to be "cool" does not justify that my $400 laptop does the exact same. But people fall for the marketing and if they succeed, then people will buy it. If they don't do it right then guess what, they will go the way of TurboGraph16.
Hey man I'm not saying it will be a bad game I'll wait till it comes out to see. Over the years I've become increasingly wary of announcements. It's one thing that gaming blogs and news sites have taught me to do.
Honestly, you see people throw around the words WoW Killer and really up to this point have I seen an MMO that could possibly be the one to do better than WoW. But I honestly think this game will. Finally there is going to be an MMO that is different from all others, new system, new emphasis on characters, new everything from ground up, and the fact that it is coming to Game Consoles as well. That factor alone is gonna bring millions of people to this game. This is the potential WoW Killer. There is still alot of information we haven't seen yet, so thats why I said it is the "Potential" WoW killer. If SE plays their cards right with this, this will be the number one MMO out there. I lost interest in SWTOR the moment I seen info on this game at E3.
What is so cool on WoW? Nothing special...like all other MMO's before. Or some parts from different parts into one game. lolz it was only a question of time till a WoW sucker saw this blog entry and tried to put some comments on this game. FFXI was and is one of the revolutions that the MMORPG-World saw....only one char can have all classes that are avaiable in the game. The crafting system is still the best. The places look so awesome and cool...when you change an area you have the feeling that you really changed an area. The jobs are balanced, when stats changed u have the feeling that the stats changed and your char went stronger. The game has still beautiful graphics(check my tutorial http://forum.mmosite.com/topics/185/200902/22/167,1.html), still awesome effects (sometimes better then in AoC (except the spellweaving thing^^)). The guild system is awesome..(you can be in more than one guild....you could be in a endgame guild...but still be in your main guild). And i like the type of leveling together....fight together, help each other. No PVP,No My-old-aunt-touched-my-googoo-when-i-was-ten-years-old-and-now-i-need-to-compensate-it-and-kill-you-causelessly-Ganking shit!!! Only fighting together against the environment like in the offline FF titles. and i was afraid when i heard what types of changes they will make in FFXIV(no exp,no hardcore) but now I getting more and more interested in it. It will be good.(except that they reduced the hardcore player stuff, but thats what i think) and just keep it coming. dont cry that ya fucking tarus will not called tarus anymore or galkas got a bigger tail now. If they would make it even more similiar to FFXI as they already did....you ppl would bitching around too.
So please...better thing about what SE could bring in what they missed in FFXI and try to help them to make a good game...for casual-beginner-gamers and hardcore-veterans. Thx.
