Final Fantasy XIV confirmed.

 

Official Site

 

Not exactly sure about release date.

 

I actually believe that 14 was announced right around the same time 13 was. And a lot of people were wondering why the hell they were talking about 14 when 13 wasn't even out.

My Final Fantasy XIII collectors edition has just popped through the door :D My collectors guide hasn't even been despatched yet though, bit miffed about that.

 

Just having a listen through the soundtrack now, it's quite good although nothing strikes me as being 'epic'.

As far as the collectors edition goes it's a bit bland but it's final fantasy so i'm not too fussed, the hardback book is quite nice :)

I haven't pre-ordered the game, I hope I can pick it up in store...

 

I haven't been looking at videos of it so that I can be awed when I play it. I'm excited to see the fighting system. Favorite one had to be 7 and 12's, very easy to use and 12 worked pretty independantly. X and X-2's pissed me off majorly, it was too confusing. Can't remember the other ones...

I'm in the same boat as you, i didn't want to know anything about the game tbh or have any prejudgments, i watched the trailer and that's about it.

I won't throw any spoilers in but i'll just say i'm 9 hours in so far, i've hardly scratched the surface and i'm loving it :)

Plenty of people were saying it only really get's going after 20 hours and i was very sceptical, but i can say it's probably true considering how far in i am for 9 hours play, which is brilliant, it's going to last me ages. The cutscenes are beautiful aswell, it really is stunning.

So...how is FF13? I mean it looks like other FF, flashy character+over dramatic cutscenes(espers+limit breaks "cough" "cough"), what makes it different from say FF12?

Old news for me but meh.

 

I'm really hoping for more story based content in this game and less of an addiction-centered grind fest like... pretty much all mmos on the market. But I'm not expecting much they probably engineer their mmos to be similar to all mmos, and their console games to be the games that are actually fun...

 

IMO in a FINAL FANTASY mmo it shouldn't take more than a few times the amount of time to reach level 99 and get access to a lot of the content than it takes to get 99 on one character in your typical console game. If they wanna hook players and addict them fine, do that by making gear available that takes months to years to obtain like they have in XI like Ragnarok, Excalibur, Masamune and all that jazz. The length of time it takes to level to max in XI is STUPID.

 

Oh yeah and how about not imposing an utterly draconian hit to exp for partying up with characters a couple levels higher.

I plan on buying this game before to long. Ive kinda gotten away from my RPG roots (Damn FPS) so I hope it is worth it.

 

Here is IGN's closing comments on the game

"Final Fantasy XIII is a great JRPG and sports a fast-paced, challenging, satisfying battle system. The game also boasts an intricate story, a likeable cast of characters and the best visuals in the series yet (of course).

 

But hardcore Final Fantasy fans might be disappointed by the game's abandonment of franchise traditions like open worlds, town exploration and complex mini-games. The game is still worth buying, but it doesn't quite feel as complete as its well-loved predecessors."

 

Im actually kinda supried at the ratings. Not of IGN (they gave it a 8.9) but of the but of the members of IGN. So far the average rating is just a 6.6 :blink:

 

I will however still pick this game up and hope to get in touch with my old RPG ways.

Play FEZ -.-. It may be 4 years old so it has the graphics of it but the pvp is really nice. You can grind but there is no better way to level up than pvp. The 2nd OB starts on Wednesday. Did I mention it's made by SE?

LOL the game just came out I doubt even 0.01% of the reviewers have completed the game yet. :lol: How much do you want to bet that a lot of them haven't even played the game yet, and are reviewing it based on trailers? I trust IGN's rating a lot more at this point as no doubt they were allowed to playtest it thoroughly before it was released.

 

I've played into about 30 minutes of it and frankly I hate the voice acting and the characters already, but then again it could get better so I guess I'll reserve judgment till I'm all the way done.

After posting what I did...I wish I would have not. You are right about this, and I do trust IGN's raters over the public.

My friend and I already finished it 2 days ago, it was okay. It kinda felt like the first time you played FF12 and didn't like the combat system..then it just grew on you. The only real bad thing in this game is Vanille's voice. If she was a real person, I'd choke her to death.

Planning on getting XIII tomorrow. But at some times, I want it, but at others I don't. So, I gave in to my non-decisive mind and said i'll get it. Hope it's good. :ohnoes:

So am I, but it's getting some serious mixed reviews. So I look up a gamplay video, mainly looking to hear Vanille's supposed annoying voice, and apart from her annoying voice and [developmentally delayed] running style, it looks epic. :thumbup:

Depends. If you like RPG's then you should like it. If not, then I would advise you don't.

You'll get dizzy seeing all those numbers/hits on the screen. Combat's like auto-haste++.

Ugh. That ruins my weekend. No Final Fatasy XIII. Only place in town that sells it is out. (Yes, my town is pitiful) But I have got my friend who works there on the job, he's going to tell me when it's back in. :thumbsup: but <_< at the same time.

Played for a few more hours today. I had to skip some scenes because I just couldn't stomach Vanille's voice. I hate her so much. I'm hoping the "dark resolve" part of her character description means she's going to turn out to be a villain. Because I seriously want to kill her.

 

As for the combat system, it does look visually very amazing but so far it has been ridiculously simple. Basically the first part of the game was just spamming auto battle and now the only thing extra I have to do really is switch my characters to defensive / healer mode when someone gets below half health.
