Nice view!

 

[I should be doing hw]

What class is that?

 

[Gromph]

What class is that?

It's an npc... but maybe or archer or new class.

Don't think it would be an archer, and having npc's using guns is just too big of a cocktease they must be a class. Speaking of which is there any word on 2h Swords at all? I've only seen sword and shield combos so far.
The cat race is kinda cute, I might end up using them...still want an elf pugilist though.

Man the game looks good aesthetically but it could really use some rim lighting especially indoor.

still Alpha

Forget the cute little snippers :S

 

[Lonestar]

I'm at least liking that there is a larger variety of looks. Seems like SE went with "realistic" looks. Though, there still something that seems "off" with the little guys

 

[hteng]

lol ok the crab actually looks pretty menacing

 

[IonicSnake]

Now that's a crab.

 

[RuGalz]

Well maybe that's why it's called Giant Crab...

 

[Teknoman]

"Bitch, please"

Read my mind :lol

Forget the cute little snippers :S

Yeah, finally some FF looking monsters early on. The only thing I didnt like about FFXI is that most of the monsters didnt have that final fantasy style until later in the game/other expansions. Fighting crazy looking stuff right off the bat, nice.

EDIT: Guess everything near Limsa Lominsa will be water based, aside from those black rabbit looking things, and the normal looking rats.

 

[Gromph]

Oh, they fixed it.

- Previously, the combination of Windows Vista(R) and NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) series graphics cards could result in graphics errors that would prevent game progression during the beginning cut scene.

Wonder how 2 handed shields are going to work.

 

[notworksafe]

Wonder how 2 handed shields are going to work.

Me too. I had just read about them yesterday. Two-handed shields sound awesome. Another good reason to try Gladiator. Hopefully they've got huge spikes on them to attack with or something.

 

[Freyjadour]

Might login for Friday's, but who knows. Hope you all get to play more than 5 minutes this time.

I feel bad for people with bandwidth caps, doing this sort of thing multiple times a week probably kills them.

 

[notworksafe]

If its anything like WoW, the usage isn't much. We had a lot of Aussies in my old guild and they didn't have issues. I think they said it uses like 5mb an hour?

EDIT: Oh you mean downloading. I'm not feeling bad for capped people on that. I think on the Beta app they said you would be regularly downloading multiple gigs of data.

 

[Jinko]

Nothing Much interesting in these

I don't, it said before users signed up for beta that it would require a lot of downloading, someone on BG signed up with a really crappy PC and can't even play the beta, waste of someone elses chance.

LOL too bad about her gut hanging over her trousers though.

Does every Japanese Alpha tester play Lalafell? That seems to be all that is out there. I know in the NA test i saw more Lalas then anything else.

 

[cruets]

anyone have a shot of what a female hume in 14 gameplay looks like?

Do it!

Don't you know the saying? "Let's all be different by being the same!" :lol

I still plan on being a dunesfolk unless they make bad melees.

JP is like Mithra > Taru, so I guess because there are no playable Miqo'te at the moment they are guna roll a Lalafell.

Cutscene to real game difference. (I'd expect the PC version with full settings to look close if not the same as the cutscenes)

A Blog with some videos on, seems Kotaku have dropped them in the shit though.

Right one is gameplay? Looks great outside the blurry character in the front. Nothing a good graphic card won't fix. :lol

edit: Nevermind, just noticed the names over the characters on the left one. :lol

All makes sense now.

Supposedly Conjurer's only start off with blackmagic, looking at the FF14 webpage both conjurer and Thaumaturge have 1 hand and 2 hand weapons.

I'm guessing.

Conjurer
1 hand = healing
2 hand = elemental

Thaumaturge
1 hand = Astral
2 hand = Umbral

Would be good if someone can test this.

Stolen from BG

- physical level doesnt change when you change class
- hp/mp and all attributes like str, vit etc dont change when you change class; however, in case you raised a stat after a level up you keep the upgrade (seems like all classes do have the same starter stats; at last lancer and minder do; dont know if diffrent races change anything)
- physical attack, accu, evasion, magic accu, magic damage changed after class change
- physical level is not limited to your class level
- class level up doesnt change attributes nor hp/mp
trying to find out next how the exp gain will be for physical level after you changed to a level 1 class

 

[Khrno]

Silly question, why is some information being posted here and not in the main thread? I guess there's more people like me that don't really check this one too often so we might miss from the discussion.

 

[notworksafe]

This thread requires an account to view, so not just anyone can come in here and grab videos or screenshots that could be used to identify people in the alpha. Plus when it's in the Online Forum it won't show up on Google searches or the like, I believe.

 

[Jinko]

That's why they were edited. :lol I figured as much though. Last I saw they were at more then 7500 downloads. Where are people posting...I assume BG?

 

[Jinko]

I've not seen them posted over at BG, at least in the main thread.

If they had been they would be showing over at http://www.cairxiv.net/videos/
