Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - E3 Media & Information Thread (PC/PS3/PS4)

In general I feel like that wasn't a particularly interesting live letter, but it's to be expected since they're so distracted.

Oh man, I cannot wait to get my hands on this game. I'm ready to sacrifice all of my time to this once it's launched.
 
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but downloading the E3 trailer on PSN will instantly give you a chance of getting into the beta.
 
some beta players are actually complaining about DRG's limit break, it's ridiculous hahaha, i swear people always find a reason to whine or complain.

but everything's awesome so far, can't wait for Phase 3

I don't think any of them are claiming that it doesn't look awesome visually, they just wanted DRG to have a limit break that used their own weapon instead of spawning cloud's buster sword for omnislash.

That is one of the few complaints I can actually understand.

From the sounds of it, there might be some sort of option for devs to bypass the PS+ requirement for online play on PS4 in some circumstances? Yoshi-p said that they're still talking about whether or not you'll need it for FF14 on PS4.

With the way MMOs have been going lately I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were waiting to see if it'd stay subscription based or go F2P, THEN make their choice.

But I'll be very happy if they make exceptions just out of principle. Some games it's just detrimental rather than beneficial, like those that depend on directly or indirectly sinking a decent chunk of money into.
 
Voice acting is horrible.

But the world/environment graphics are excellent, I really like the use of colors. Character models are average.

people are thinking too much into it unnecessary, getting butthurt on a small things instead of looking at the bigger picture. It's fanservice to attract the fence sitters, the gamers that aren't FF fans, the reviewers and the media. I see no wrong in this, I don't even find it weird as Drgs jump / fly around anyhow, plus they can use swords in other games.

When they actually implement a greatsword class they will make another awesome limit break.

They're not waiting for anything like that, they just need Sony to waive ARR for free online gameplay on PS4.
 
Hope this game makes the PS4 launch, considering it is coming out before the PS4 and is a console exclusive.

This game looks really good, even though it's MMO, it has a more traditional final fantasy style, which is awesome.
 
Summary of the Live Letter, thanks to Stanislaw from BG:

Q: Do you need a different (new) code for the PS4 version aside from the PS3?
A: TBA

Q: Why did you decide to annouce the PS4 version before the PS3 version is even out?
A: Wanted to announce at E3 where we have the whole world's attention.

Q: Does the PS4 version come with its own special in-game items?
A: No. We don't want to discourage customers to buy the PS3 version or force customers to buy the PS4 version for the sake of items.

Q: Do you need a PS+ membership to run the PS4 version?
A: A Sony representative actually came up to us during this conference and said they'd like to talk about out it when we return to Japan. TBA

Q: When is the PS4 version release date?
A: Sometime in 2014. Might be earlier than expected. But then again, this is Square Enix time we're talking about. (they actually said this)

Q: Any perks to switching over from the PS3 to the PS4 version?
A: TBA, but there will be.

Q: Any plans on changing your plans for the server transfer process you have planned when setting up the Data Centers?
A: No changes planned. However, we'll try to follow up on any problems players might have during the process.

Q: Can new players create new characters on Legacy servers?
A: Yes.

Q: Can you provide us any new details about Frontline? (PvP)
A: Planning to implement in Patch 2.2 or 2.3. An entire zone will be dedicated to PvP. The start location will depend on which Grand Company you've enlisted in. There will be things like Ballistas (Catapults) which crafters can create.

Q: Any time restrictions on PvP?
A: It will be open 24/7.

Q: Will the hate list be color only? Numbers only?
A: It has become color only.

Q: Can we apply for the content finder under different class/jobs?
A: After applying under the class/job you want to join under, you may freely switch between other classes/jobs thereafter. Once the invite comes, you must then switch back to the class you've applied in.

Q: Can the barber shop apply face paint and scars as well?
A: Face paint yes. Scars not sure, but probably no.

Q: When can we see the DX11 version?
A: It won't be something like 1 or 2 years. It will be somewhat faster.

Q: Will the story be different depending on the starting city?
A: Play Phase 3 and see for yourself.

Can somebody explain how to get in to the beta? On the psn store it says "download the video for your chance to play the beta" so like....they gonna send a psn message or email or what? (If I'm chosen of course)

Thanks that clears things up a little. I hope we dont have to wait too long the the PS4 version, the ps3 version is not nearly as nice as the PC version.
 
Yes this is a sub based mmo.

Tbh I don't mind the dub at all... Maybe because all the voiced stuff was from cutscenes from 1.x. So to even hear any of that voiced is extremely epic. To say the least, this trailer has gotten me extremely hyped.


And lol @ e3 ifrit battle. I heard he's owning everyone and like 1.x the players are screaming on stream to tell them to focus on the spikes. Mmm mega fail.

Well to be fair, a dragoon using a giant 2h sword is a little strange.
 
I understand the people upset over Dragoon getting Omnislash, seems it would be much more suited for a Job that uses a Great Sword.
 
So if I buy PS3 version and stay subscribed, then purchase PS4 version

Everything carries over to PS4, or is it start all over again? =3

Also 1 sub can be used between PS3 & PS4 right?... right?

How did I miss khrno's post, damn stupid slowdown!

The servers are the same servers with the same accounts no matter what system you connect from.

Yeah saw Khrno's post, GAF timed out, didn't see that post @_@!

Alright GraveRobberX "Trophy Whore Extraordinaire" reporting for duty! on the PS3 Beta

Let's Do This

Where do I send in my GAF application!
 
I haven't played an MMO in so long. I'm just about ready to dive in on this one, looks so great. Good thing they decided to re-launch this thing!
 
Worth adding to the answer about DX11, Yoshida said that PS4 version is using DX11 so they'll be out together as a result of this.

Makes me want a FFXII remake, or another FF in Ivalice. FFXVII plz!

Nonsensical logic:

XI + V -> XIV (Online)
XII + V -> XVII (Ivalice)
 
I've been told that as a previous player of XIV, I get into Beta 3.

I didn't get into beta 1 or 2.

Is that accurate? I seem to remember hearing something along these lines, but I'm not sure how it works. Can someone enlighten me?
