You're not going to play on Sargatans, right? Because that's just how my female Roegadyn would look like, already had that look in the beta.


Anyway, some region/header images from the benchmark dats: http://imgur.com/a/T3tn5

Ultros most probably.
Though it wouldn't be that bad, we could be twins!

I've never understood the fervour of being a special little snowflake and getting bent out of shape when someone has a character that looks like your in online games. There's only SO many usable options if you don't want to look terrible. (Besides there's hardly any femroe's anyway)
 
Just downloaded the new benchmark, wow they really improved SLI support and optimized the engine.

Previously, i could barely get over 7000 in the old benchmark on Maximum. All looking good for forcing 4x sgssaa and keeping 60fps in the game proper.

It's not about being special, but if you were on Sargatanas that would mean you might be in the Neogaf Linkshell and that would be slightly odd then ^^.

1920X1080 Maximum with an i5@4.5Ghz and a GTX570. Good enough for me.
 
anyone with a legacy account tell me, did you have to reregister your account to be uptodate with current relaunch? And you had to have at least 3 months of paid time to become a legacy account and eligible for the 9.99 monthly fee?

Anything else I need to know to qualify for legacy account status.
 
Wow, is the music in this game good or something? Because I actually listened to the music in the benchmark and it is fantastic. Got me pumped. Usually MMO music is meh.
 
Arrrgh. Got the email last week saying I would be getting a key for the last beta, but still no key. Even checked my Spam folder.

Hear my cries!

The visual aesthetics and music are by far the best aspects of the game. Without those I wouldn't of purchased it.
 
Now I'm curious if crests and such will be limited to FC or be a LS deal too. Real confused actually. In any case, FC branded gear sounds real neat. Guys (in Sargatanas anyway) let's keep in mind that stuff has to look good on gear...

I agree and I would extend all the way down to the general consistent flavor and style of the world. Hope they don't ever discard it for something too flashy/trashy.

I tested in phase 3 and I haven't received that 'confirmation' of phase 4 testing yet (apparently it's an auto invite to phase 4), when apparently others have. Not sure what's up with that :/
 
xivdb.com has data mined skills for all classes, there are actually quite a few changes. Some of the bigger changes (for the classes I play :P):

PUG/MNK
- Mantra is now 20% (up from 10%)
- Howling fist is 170 (was 190) potency, but its recast is 60seconds (down from 300)
- Perfect Balance recast is now 160seconds (down from 240)
- Dragon kick also now reduces a target's INT by 10%
- Fists of Fire is a 5% increase in damage (down from 10%)

MRD/WAR
- Lots of Warrior skills have had their potency reduced/increased.
- Maim>Heavy Swing combo potency is 180 (down from 190), bonus is now 10% increase damage (down from 20%)
- Vengeance recast is now 120 seconds (down from 150)
- Defiance is a 35% damage penalty (up from 30%), each stack of Wrath now grants 3% increase healing taken.
- Infuriate recast is now 60seconds (down from 180)

All around it looks like they've cut down a lot of the really long CDs to the 1.5-2min range.
 
Those War changes look about right, there was no way paladin was going to compete with old War and further digs in the fact the class is supposed to be a tank not a dps

IDK... just sounds like they made WAR more boring instead of making PLD more fun.


Also think the "Fists of" actions are poorly designed.

They didn't make them more boring, they will still play the same, they just got a damage nerf and gained better sustained tanking ability in exchange
 
Dragoon's jumps have shorter cooldowns. Still not enough imo, but a start.

"Jump" is now 40 seconds instead of 60, and does 200 potency instead of the 180(?) before. Actually more damage then leg sweep now.
 
Don't remember hearing about dungeon ratings... "SSS" lol. Jeez, I have so much stuff to cover that is seemingly new. Lots of research to do before I'm truly satisfied.
 
BTW, what race are most people here picking? I'm assuming different start areas like WoW? What's the best looking start area? I've only tried human during phase 3

Starting areas are based on your class. MRD/ACN will start in Limsa. THM/PUG/GLD start in Uldah. CON/LNC/ARC start in Gridania.

Really? Haha, that's terrible. I leveled Archer to 50 for nothing lol.

Honestly don't know if it will be better or worse. Get the crit buff from pug now, as well as the reworked self heal (has a potency based on your attack power, instead of by percentage). Loose the 20% damage. Guess I'm just disappointed that I can't stack it and blood for blood with a guaranteed crit full strike anymore.

...Buh?

What build is it pulling these items from?

All the info was left in the new benchmark.

EDIT: From XIVDB news post:
So, how about that, SE were nice enough to leave a their entire game database and images in the benchmark for us, thank you!! Not everything is there; Models, Textures, Maps, Sounds, Music have been stripped. But we're a database and the database is there!

Gotta actually spend some time to look at this shit instead of just posting everytime I notice something significant.

Keen Flurry does 80% parry, making it not as useless since a parry is only partial damage migration.
