FF14

there will always be: the generic human (average stats), the generic elves (better melee), the hulking things often bearish or lizardy (health and "vit"), the animal girl SE loves cats and bunnies (dex and sneaky stuff), and of course the midget (taru, dwarf, moogle*that would be cool*)

I wanna be a bunny in ff14!!!!!!

I'm so remaking myself as a taru in FF14, gogo Dajaru!

hume again for sure. hopefully u can get white hair this time . i hope the battle system is alot better too, not the delay stuff, rather fight in real time like kingdom hearts style would be alot more realistic.

This is how I feel about it. The game looks really cool, but I'm not that excited about starting over. And I'm sure most of my friends and lsmates will be scattered.

Nightmare Bunny? Those are evil...

If you want to be a bunny, go play PWI. They have bunny chicks. :P

if u read the stores by the npcs yes are are apart of the mother crystal but also created by humes since they was once slaves

:P The bunny from FF12, I forget her name.

What's PWI? >.>

i rather not have humes with white hair. just to advoid multi version names again of sephrox and other versions of the name that we all ready see now

Fran?

fran, im playing it now since its a semi offline final11

Yea that's her name, been a while for that game.

I still wanna be a bunny!

that could be interesting...

I might choose Galka or whatever the big beast substitute will be, just because of the lack of them in FFXI. I don't plan on being a mage in this one besides Blue Mage (if it is included, I pray it does). Tired of going to every single event and stuff as Whm. I like being helpful in those fields, but it's costing me the fun, so *** it.

i hope it puts the fun back in final funtasy

I want a WAR!!!! I wanna be like in the other FF games where we fight Sorcerers and sorceress's! And a dune buggy! or train station

I was talking about the trailer and artwork for FFXIV. Sure, it has large hulking humanoids... But they don't have tails like the Galka of FFXI do. I just find it amusing that everyone is saying that 'it will use the same races'.

Whatever happens, if I play the new one (and I ain't giving up FFXI, that's for damn sure) I know now that I'm gonna be a DD all the freaking way. *** main healing, *** tanking, *** pulling. I wanna sit there, pull out my sword/club/dagger/stave/whatever, auto attack, maybe do an ability or two, weapon skill, and that's fuggin it.

Tired of responsibility. Wanna be brain dead DD. ^^

O.oa Then don't be like me in FFXI when I'm on Mnk... I DD... But I end up tanking due to the dmg. >.>

Really though.. I'd like to see FFXIV have tanks based 'around' doing dmg to keep hate. I don't really like using abilities that generate large amounts of hate for essentially doing nothing. >.>

I know MNK's like you, lol

I wanna seriously whip their legs and tell them "STOP TAKING HATE DAMMIT!!!" ^^

I know it's not entirely their fault, but still, jesus christ, if it's to that point, wait a second before you engage or something. You guys take too much damage. Same with DRG's and SAM's. Bane of Main Heal existence lol

Naah. I don't take damage. I have Utsusemi for that. And then if I do take dmg, I have a chakra set for a few hundred HP and nearly maxed out Invigorate for 10 hp/tic Regen. =)

But really... I'd like to see a system like that in FFXIV. A bit better def / tanking abilities for all melee so that they can tank AFTER doing the damage they're there for.

SE's conference is going right now. G4 is reporting that FFXIV will be coming to the PS3 & PC. They are currently considering other hardware (including Microsoft hardware!)

Here's the link for the live feed.

Q: What are the ties to Final Fantasy XI, if any?

A: While you may have noticed that some of the same type of races appeared in the trailer, the world of FFXIV is different from FFXI. The reason that we made the races similar to the FFXI races is so FFXI players could choose a similar type of race in the new game. For example, in movies, you might have an actor that plays many different roles. Please, think of it that way.

Q: What happens to Final Fantasy XI now that we're moving to FFXIV? Are you going to phase it out or continue to publish new content for XI? How will the development team be split?

XIV does not take place in Vana'deil.

Here's the first 2 questions. check out the link for the rest of it.

Square Enix E3 2009 Press Conference

11:18 Running a bit late, guys. Waiting to go in.
11:18 Blogging from my iPhone outside the room.
11:19 Hoping for more on Final Fantasy XIV
11:20 Also, Square Enix isn't allowing cameras so this will be a live blog only event.

11:21 Fun fact: I saw Itagaki here at the show. It's unclear if he's here for meetings or announcing something with Square or Konami, which both have press conferences today.

11:22 Itagaki being the creator of Ninja Gaiden.

11:23 I hope there are a lot of comments, but I can't see them on the iPhone version of this software.

11:24 Also, if you didn't catch our late story last night, FFXIV will also be released on the PC.

11:24 Being developed

11:25 By the primary team behind FFXI

11:25 I just hope it's less grindy!

11:27 Looks like we're going in soon. Still running late. I think the localization team for FFXIII is running this event.

11:30 I'm really hoping for some Chris Taylor action. Square is publishing Supreme Commander II.

11:32 Been hearing that there could be a major announcement here, but that might have been FFXIV yesterday.

11:34 Just got moved to the VIP line. Bling.

11:42 Still in line. Just more VIP'ier. Be patient, y'all.

11:45 Okay, inside now! I can see your comments now.

11:45 For those just joining us, no video :( Square-Enix isn't allowing it, but I'm here to live blog all the news for you guys.

11:46 The chair is super comfortable!

11:46 As always, I won't be publishing your comments, but can see them all and might respond to some ;)

11:46 As far as I know, this is a straight press conference. Don't know about a Q&A yet, but if there is, I'll ask you guys for questions.

11:47 For those interested in the Konami conference later today, there will be video tonight. We can't live stream it based on the room it's being held in :( But we are filming it for later.

11:48 I really want to see more of FFXIII, not just what was in the Japanese demo or cinematics. Kupo!

11:48 FFXIV is an MMO so expect a fee on both PC and PS3. Nothing concrete has been announced for pricing as far as I know.

11:49 If they give FFXIV details, you'll get them. Or I could make stuff up if you really need something now?

11:50 That "confirmation" of FFXIV being Free 2 Play seems shaky, but I could believe it if the game was based around a paid "premium" experience or micro-transactions.

11:51 Ok, here's some made up stuff for FFXIV: It takes place entirely underwater and those flying drones in the cinematic trailer were actually Mutalisks from StarCraft.

11:52 People are still filing in, but we should be starting soon.

11:53 This just in, I see name placards for the two leads on FFXIV.

11:53 And away we go!

11:53 This is Brian Leahy from TheFeed.

11:54 It seems like this is very much about FFXIV.


11:54 Update on exclusivity confusion.

11:55 Please be patient as this is going to be translated from Japanese.


11:56 FFXIV will be coming to the PS3 & PC. They are currently considering other hardware (including Microsoft hardware!)

11:56 Q: What are the ties to Final Fantasy XI, if any?


11:58 A: While you may have noticed that some of the same type of races appeared in the trailer, the world of FFXIV is different from FFXI.

11:59 Q: What happens to Final Fantasy XI now that we're moving to FFXIV? Are you going to phase it out or continue to publish new content for XI? How will the development team be split?

11:59 XIV does not take place in Vana'deil.


12:00 A: The development for FFXIV started 4 or 5 years ago with primary ideas. Development started a few years ago, while FFXI was still being supported. FFXI will continue to be supported. There is another year of content planned. There are no plans for the near future to stop development on FFXI.

12:01 Q: What influence have games like World of WarCraft have on the development of FFXIV?

g4tv at the coverage now.

Yeah, I've lost just about all faith in the fan-site Wooooodum linked to. Perhaps they should think before they type.

While races may be similar, they are NOT the same.
That is NOT a Galka ffs.
Also, it will NOT be in Vana'diel.

You can easily see both of these things from the trailer alone.

g4 is doing live coverage now, that sitting in translating now
