:O Don't say that! There's still 4 days left! We must remain hopeful. T_T

They need to give us time to download too! I imagine more waves of invites will be going out in the next 2 days.

[Shinsetsu]

If they're still sending invites, they certainly are cutting it close...

[Famfrit]

Letter from the producer live is happening now. I imagine it's quite interesting if you can speak Japanese XD

[Valadhiel]

Well ... they are certainly very animated!

[Famfrit]

more videos!



Now this is how you build hype! by rehashing stuff we've already seen into a new trailer! Nah jk, there's some new stuff in there with some interesting camera angles and stuff.

You know, I think the way Square is handling FFXIV is building within me a new shred of respect for them. ^_^

Why couldn't they have just shown this at the Sony event?




Can't believe I didn't notice these before! I'll be avoiding the tour of Eorzea so I don't spoil anything but the gamepad vid is really interesting. I think I may have to buy a usb ps3 controller lol.

Dat mushroom cloud!

WOW! Daht tour of Eorzea video @_@ The couple zones they showed looked great, and the city looked good too. Pretty sure those are going to be the few areas that are open for this first beta event. Can't wait to see the other like, 40 something zones and other 2 main cities XD


Game looks way better on a PC than PS3. No surprises there really though.

It was to be expected. Also, if you look closely, PS3 version doesn't have VSYNC enabled (It needs it; there is screen tearing) and the FPS is actually less than 30 (Also to be expected).
Still, I have to admit. They did an amazing job keeping the key elements alive, from a graphical standpoint. While it is obvious the shaders, native resolution (It's set to subsample, thus the blur and squared edges), textures and lighting effects took a hit and there is no fancy AA or similar effects, they did a great job.
By the time (If they do) port it to PS4, it'll looks just the same as it does on the PC right now. Of course... there is SweetFX and other mods on the PC that can make it look even better, but... lets leave those out for now.

On another note, it's also good that they're using proper analog configs for the joystick and using proper mapping for the gamepad.
Something TERA failed at horribly.
So they get extra credit there, too. Not many companies go this far to properly tweak gamepads to this extend, with a few exceptions.

On a final note, I am always happy to see developers communicate with their fanbase.
Major kudos.

...and now back to hibernating.

Each world region gets a different registration page. Since I don't know your region, I cannot know the appropriate link for you. In any case, it's only a google search away.

No they don't, you select your region when you fill out the form.

Here's the link http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/ you just need to choose the language of the page from there.

You select your country, not your region.

The ps3 version is only 75% optimized at the moment.

But there's not a specific page for each one :?

For example, I went in through I think it was NA cause that was the link I saw but I had the option to put UK in on the form
