My brother is in the beta of this, he really likes it so far. Not really fast paced but gorgeous and addictive.

Why are so many people excited for this? It looks like FF11 with better graphics, and that game sucked.

" square arent nearly as innovative as they used to be. 13 was a blunder and 14 looks to be not much more than 11 with better graphics, after 11 alienated most of the fan base who had played every other main series title. there's no problem with them having mmo's, but there is when the subscription is a ridiculous amount. "
I don't think I agree with you Sir, nor do the sales of 13.
 
Overall i'm excitedly looking forward to this, i never got to play 11, but i heard things of people being dissatisfied, it's good to see Square address their fan's on these issues and fix them. I'm hoping that the subscription is a managable yearly price.

So many ignorant people posting here.  There were more gameplay in this video than the SWTOR trailer that was shown in E3, that one was pure CG and still people went gaga over it.

There IS gameplay, and all of the cutscenes shown here are all ingame too besides 1 or 2 tiny clips (the massive dragon) get your facts straight before posting crap



can't wait for the game, it's gonna be incredible, for those of you moaning already about the lack of variety in areas outside cities, how about waiting for the game to come out before making that judgement? Yes, the area outside Limsa Lominsa looks dull (albeit beautiful) But that's ONE area out of an entire world

@Coombs: They already said it would be, and would focus more on soloability too. 
 
Overall, I'm very excited.

 I never did play FF XI because I wasn't into MMOs at the time, and after that I never got around to it. No complaints about the visuals though; SE usually delivers on that. I'm interested to see how customization and the rest of the game's interfaces will work. Ditto on the subscription fees... that's another thing that prevented me from every wanting to get into XI, those damn RO-style fees.

Is it just me or are those doctor masks everywhere? Can I assassinate some emo boys?
 
Will they assassinate me?

@BagManForHire: I know right! Fields of Valor did add a little bit of solo content but not nearly enough to compete with certain "standards"  in the MMO world.  Glad they're really listening to the players and looking around what the competition is doing!

Really looking forward to this one, despite it being MMORPGblahblah. FFXI got me hooked very bad back in the days but has some serious flaws which kinda ebbed away the experience. Hope SE will learn from their past mistakes and make this one more streamlined!

Wish they didn't spend 99% of their time designing awesome cities and then with the remaining 1% of the time slapping together some crappy generic hills and fields.. Most of the gameplay goes on in the rural areas, and they just don't bother at all with that part.. Real shame, cause their artists are brilliant.

Huh, not bad I guess for a cutscene trailer.  It's good they're revamping the gameplay from XI's though.  Another WoW clone would suck.

It shouldn't be called Final Fantasy XIV. It should be called Final Fantasy Online 2.

@BagManForHire: It'll definately have a lot of solo'ing , but they've promised that they won't dumb down the difficulty and still reward for party play.  So best of both worlds imho.

This.  WoW may still come out on top with Cata out before XIV, but either way these 3 will dominate all the other junk out there.  Personally, I'm gonna have a tough time choosing between FF and SW.
 
EDIT:  Haha, didn't Jeff pay $200 for that StarTrek MMO?

Don't forget Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars has no subscription fees which allows it to be successful alongside WoW rather than having to directly compete with the subscription market. If FF XIV has subscription fees it is dead. DEAAAAAAAAAAD!

FFXI had a lot of issues that need to be corrected in XIV. I think a lot of folks don't remember that XI's release pre-dates WoW, so the bar hadn't even been set at the time. I loved XI for what it was, and played it for years, but if XIV is just a carbon copy with a few new features? Pass. Here's hoping, anyway.

http://www.ffxivcore.com has an interview up which states that SE wants the beta to start in about a month from now! I hope to become a part of it, my PC and PS3 are ready for it! Hopefully, the code that came with FFXIII counts for something (early beta access {Yes, Please.})
 
Benchmark program available at http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com , by the way.
