Thats what I do, except with the d-pad :lol
My PC performs about the same in an instance or far from town, so i'm guessing the guy has a decent PC, except with an Nvidia.

My new rig was expected to ship out next week, but I just received an email that it shipped out today! I hope it arrives before the next beta test

Same here (sorta), should be installing my new processor/MB over the weekend. I'll post benchmark differences for those interested in upgrading to something similar when the time comes.

There was a NM in FF11 with the same name, so perhaps this is the first NM we have seen.
hahaha. They named it Vodyanoi!
They probably have some Russians in the FF14 team.For those who do not know, its a figure from Slavic folklore.

Have they mentioned if all the hairstyles/customization options present in the beta will be what's available in the retail build? Hoping there's some more options in a couple categories.

There has been quite a few posts on the beta forums asking for more, so hopeful they will add more.
Video's look good, I can't wait to get a shield for my GLD makes a lot of difference to the amount of damage you take, too bad they don't give you one to start with.
The first shield cost like 4k which is just stupid.

This leve looks actually fun and the guy playing got a hat as a reward. Really can't wait until next week.

Been listening to some of the soundtrack for the game. I try not to spoil myself by listening to it all. So I only listen to a select few.
This has to be my favorite one that I've stumbled apon.

Anyone else have any favorite tracks from the game?

What you say might be true, but looking at XI, they either have people from many parts of the world in their staff, or their designers do actually research global folklore and mythology.

I love the track 1D, love the vocals.
I dig that really epic vocal track that's buried in the soundtrack somewhere. I also liked how they incorporated the lady's vocals from that track into the boat scene, you can hear part of the song briefly at one point (I forget which) that was very cool. Guess we'll be hearing a lot of that song throughout the game, which is pretty neat.
From art to music to story to characters... this game won't disappoint.
Edit: This one- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB3MwYHeZPo
Lyrics are cheesy, but it's perfect for this sort of thing.

I didn't know there were a whole new bunch of tracks. :O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jJ8ykAJs_c&feature=related (reminds me of the Promathia BCNM music)
This is my favourite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjiRQmqadoY&feature=related
There are so many amazing tracks, take my hat off to Uematsu he still has it in him to write great music.

Impossible to say at this point, I think it will be very hard to level solo/small party if they keep the guildleve system as it is. (48 hour cooldown)
It seems the new lvl 20-30 monsters are crazy difficult, hopefully it won't require full parties to do everything though.
Munba said:
Yea but a lot of EU people still have US accounts because it came out in the EU 1.5 years later.
So if they want to use the same SE account they will need to buy a US version of FF14.
I think it would probably be easier to make a new SE account though. (of course if you do this and have applied for the FF13 bonus item you will be screwed)

That relaxing music from the updater
Has SE said whether they will have realtime shadows on all surfaces, (as opposed to simply character shadows)? I was hoping that the 'Highest' shadow detail setting would do the trick, but it seems that is not working correctly at the moment.
Normally, I would expect that this is just a beta version limitation. But I know they added shadows to FFXI a while back, yet only managed shadows on characters and signs. So I'm hoping that this is something they don't see as being unimportant, (and I'm sure there are a lot of players that would agree with that sentiment as well).
I would expect they will get in there eventually, as pretty much every mordern MMO has this feature, (including WOW and Everquest 2).
I'm not trying to be a picky bastard! ) But assumed that if I care, there are probably others out there that do as well.
Thanks all!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhP33ZTdVpc&feature=related (this could be a town music)
Instead this one, i think it could be the 'Casinò' theme:

The FF MMOs have all been made with the approach of fitting classic turn-based RPGs, in which you have to think about every action and coordinate with your party mates, into a MMO framework. I understand most MMOs since WoW involve fast autoattack, character animations that have no weight to them, an spammable abilities/spells, but that does not make it a standard. This sort of battle system is what a lot of players want.

It's a trend that WoW for the most part started. So yes.

Both Aion and LOTRO use auto attack and still manage to have fun combat. Hell even UO, EQ, and a zillion MUDs before then used it. But clearly it's a trend WoW started.
Haters gonna hate, indeed. But no one gets defensive like an FF player can, so it's to be expected.

I didn't say it was about auto attack. That would be silly.
It's about the combination of things I posted above.
It gets on one's nerves after a while seeing so many internet folks go on and on about the same "wow this looks boring lol" crap. Can these people not play turn-based/ATB games?

Yeah but I don't see that being true either. Cooldown management is a part of pretty much every MMO. There's always going to be a rotation of spells/abilities that is most effective for the battle. You'll always pick the best abilities to fit with your party and what you are fighting. FFXIV doesn't really change anything. Not saying it isn't fun...but it isn't really innovative either.
People that don't like MMOs don't like MMO gameplay. News at 11. I think everyone who plays an MMO is used to those comments. FF players just like to screw up their faces and cry about how their game is special compared to all the rest when it's just not true. It is funny to go into any message board about FF and whisper "wow" to get everyone worked up and yelling, though.HappyBivouac said:
Uh, RuGalz is Shenmu, who basically started the GAF LS with us from the start. Calm yourself and back off the troll comments. Also, FFXIV doesn't need white knights. No one brought up WoW so don't start now. It doesn't become you.
Personally, FFXIV is now two months away from launch. They just started another phase of beta while canceling dates. I'm personally pretty concerned at this point (my CE is preordered btw). Alex is right on point.
