Final Fantasy XIV: Realm Reborn : OFFICIAL HYPE THREAD

Yeah, monthly fee bullshit.

Haven't played Aika and Rift. It was not actually a system per se, but just normal pvp mode. Maybe I'm just too used in PVP-oriented mmorpg, and monsters are just for grinding levels and farming for me now. So unless they add something like random bosses or uber strong mobs, it'll feel boring.
I do hope they add more stuff to spice it up, but I wonder if they would add things I want, the game would become hardcore pvp with some serious grinding. And FATE system bosses would be able to flee to a different location and/or alter monster in an area or would block paths causing serious disturbance to a lot of players like a real calamity.

One reason why I don't touch other free mmorpgs is the graphics. I just don't like the style of Aion, Cabal, or something that looks like that(iirc, Aika and Rift looks the same). I really like how FFXIV:ARR looks but it seems to be not the mmorpg I'm looking for.
But I still have Blade and Soul. I just have to be more patient.

Well Aika has a pretty decent graphical fidelity. Plus you get your own pet loli. Best MMORPG of all time just for that fea- anyway.
Rift is basically WoW but modernized a bit, graphics too.

I'd love hardcore pvp content but I somehow doubt it'll happen, given Final Fantasy MMO history. Its never been a priority. Plus any MMO's PVP after Ragnarok online and Tera just feels like total shit to me. I guess FFXIV could be good though, given it requires more movement in the combat than most MMOs.

I guess we shall see.

EDIT: Blade and Soul wasn't as good as I imagined :[ the gameplay felt kind of sloppy...but again I think that's just Tera ruining action combat for other MMOs like a black guy ruining a gir-
nevermind. Still seemed like loads of fun, but yeah. The combat irks me.

Won't get cheaper than this I think.

Haha, yeah. Tera's combat system is a good change. I tried it out and it's really interesting, maybe that's why I felt that low level archer of mine felt very slow. because no dodge roll/jump(or i just missed it).
However it wasn't the impressive pvp skills that I was exactly looking for, it was the amount of pvp you get in a day or how much you'll need to cooperate with people. well the game was RF online so that you'll get the idea.
I also don't have any idea, who will be the main enemy. npc monsters as main boss is really boring once you've got a taste of faction based mmorpg.

Outdated (at time of posting) but I think it only updates when you log out, and no way in hell i'm ever logging out until it forces me off., not getting stuck outside of a full server again if I can help it.

 

[chyyran]

Dammit. Power outage yesterday logged me out. It only lasted about 2 minutes, but I can't log on anymore anyways.
