| Final Fantasy XIV is awesome in theory. By that I mean if the developers can get all the bugs and glitches cleaned up before release date then there's a good chance the game will turn out to great. However, there have been some annoying occurences from what I've tested. The current beta is just a prettied up alpha with the majority of the games' functions not available or not active. There's no macro system yet, the controls with the keyboard are awful beyond measure (WASD to move your character and JIKL for moving the camera, what?) and from what I've seen there have been many cases of people falling through floors and having to restart their characters from scratch as there is no GM to contact. The last one I've experienced myself as my character fell through the floor after exiting the first cutscene and after I recreated him I saw another person fall through the floor.
As of right now Square Enix has been focusing on server stability. I hope SE does enough to not have the same problems as Final Fantasy XI when it comes to updating the game or logging on. Now that I think about it, the updates in Final Fantasy XIV so far have been peer-to-peer which does help. I'm waiting for phase III of the beta which is supposed to add the rest of the features currently missing and I'll post my impressions of it here as well. As of right now I'd say the game should be delayed by one or two months. | |

That made me lol. But yeah i agree with you, although it's a pretty nice looking game a lot does need to happen. It still feels like alpha to me in the sense of the game as a whole. Only thing different is that it doesn't lag as bad and i don't d/c every 10 mins. Really looking forward to the final result because i'm already liking what's already available. | |

| Garg, have you started playing phase 3 of the beta? If so, what server did you choose? | |

| kam whats your gfx card? the most you might need is a graphics card (although it may look a little bleh but it'll last til the ps3 release) you meet some of the specs so it should atleast run.

CPU Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHz) AMD Athlon X2 (2.4 GHz)

GPU NVIDIA® GeForce 8800 or higher VRAM 512 MB Radeon HD 2900 or higher VRAM 512 MB (Will most likely get tuned down to 256)
Audio DirectSound compatible (DirectX 9.0)

| it might help because of the lower ram requirement but it seems like your gfx card is the bottleneck. kinda low memory on it. but then again benchmarks are usually waaaaaay high for games too. and i read how people scoring 1k and lower were able to play alpha and all the betas just fine so i'm not sure exactly. but you got over 1500 so it should be okay on min settings i think. | |
