New Final Fantasy XIV images and details from Famitsu

Famitsu has posted some interesting screens and details (google translated).

[Willio]

As much as i want to believe, i think those scans were PC versions only.

[Loxhart]

Don't underestimate the power of a console. That's all I have to say, lol.

[Nitrowolf2]

who knows, but like Loxhart said don't underestimate it.

[iamtehpwn]

it on Ps3 and PC. I don't like tough decisions. xD
Plus, the PS3 version is more portable to carry around and what not to different places.

Also, noticed on the North American FFXIV Website,
It used to say Fees: TBA, now it does not even list Fee's any more.
EDIT: Fees are not listed on the Japanese website either, I checked.

IT MAY go the guild wars route and be Free play.
This could also explain the abandonment of PlayOnline.

.....Perhaps the best decision Square Enix could make?

[Myst]

It's a trap!

Though who knows maybe? Or perhaps Square is still working out a way to do so.

[iamtehpwn]

LOL. I hope for no trap.

But if they can make FFXIV free play, The sales for this game...
would be entirely HUGE.

I can't think of a single person who wouldn't buy this if it was a one time fee.

EDIT: Pray for an Epic Summon system this time.
I'd love for to bust out Ifrit or Shiva at Free will like in VII.

[Myst]

I just pray for additional classes to be unveiled later on, I think I remember (back when it was still called Code name 'rapture') that this game was supposed to have as many as or more classes than XI with some being brought over. I still don't know if this holds, but I still want to play a summoner class on Elvaan (or rather Elezen something like that I think >.<).

Though if it is just a one time fee I may end up buying both like you, one for the laptop and one for the PS3. Still trying to decide now actually. Portability of having it on the laptop or having the control of my character via the PS3 controller and on the big screen..

[iamtehpwn]

Yeah.
But the Ability to change classes is based on the weapons you have.
So you can change classes simply by flipping through weapons.

This could mean...Possibly...Secret classes in the game. That'd be amazing. o_O

IF This is a one time fee, this could be the biggest MMO release of all time. Dare I say it, It may even take down WoW.

[Myst]

Oh yeah forgot about that, then I hope to have samurai back to as well as Red Mage! Especially the red mage.

Also already working on tearing down WoW, just need a few more sticks of dynamite, a hammer and some string cheese.

Though yeah it certainly does, the Final Fantasy name alone could take it places. Those who have played XI will more than likely try it out, and if it's good it will be spread by word of mouth and perhaps adverts this time..maybe..o.o. I'm just hoping the grouping finding/joining won't be as relentless as XI was T_T before level sync.

[Sarevok]

I'm going to be a fighter x3

I like swords :D

[Arnon]

That depends on what platform it was created on... my guess is PC, but who knows.

Looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm logged on to FFXI right now XD

[Ngai]

Actually.. i hope it's not free.. because that will filter out the bad from the good. 12-15 eur fee? Fine by me. Same as ffxi. Doubt it will be free anyway. It's even listed on the official website as tba.

[Tony P]

I'm not sure if this is old news or not, but the official site has also undergone massive updating: http://www.finalfantasyxiv....

[FamilyGuy]

This games is looking gorgeous, i love the art style, the characters and a new card game to for the an mmo? This very well could be the next WoW.

Famitsu came through on this one, i thought it was be just a couple of screen we already saw from the other recent articles.

The official sites update has all of this and in higher quality for the pics. Thanks for the link Tony P

[bpac123456789]

I can't even get excited for anything with final fantasy in its name, because I know its going to be years for it ever gets released. Its already been 5 years and final fantasy 13 still has no release date, never mind versus which i havn't heard anything about. Square use to be at the top of there game but now they've fallen off. At least there's still plenty of other great games coming to keep my wallet empty.
Also, I don't believe square for a second when they say that final fantasy 14 will be exclusive to the ps3 and pc. (man i feel like such a pessimist right now.)

[GameGambits]

I hope the game for PS3 supports voice chat between linkshell members and party members. Or you could choose who to type to and who to chat with, so I could vocally to my party and then type to my linkshell/guild. That'd be a great feature! :D

Honestly as long as they bring back Monk and make Ninja a stealthy DD this time around instead of a tank I'll be more than pleased.

I'd pay 20 bucks a month for FFXIV lol. The site links to some render shots of the new races, but also in game. Best way to tell is looking at the hair. In game have way less hair strands/detail, but the renders are insanely detailed on hair.

Lalafell Monk, because midgets with fists is an assured win. :D

[Natsu X FairyTail]

I like the Character desings and these screens are neet.
good looking MMORPG.

edit:These desings bring back that old NES final fantasy vibe back.

[Allelujah00]

It does look very good, and it very well may be pre-rendered models. But PS3 can do some serious stuff. Look at Killzone 2.

[Myst]

Very nice designs so far, and it seems the Mithra have gotten a new look from last time.

Still can't wait for this game!

[Xwow2008]

Art of the game.

[maxcer]

why not just go the real site instead?

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.c...

[EpsilonTeam]

I WANT IT. The real question is where. Can you help me decide? PC or PS3 (my pc is quite strong i7 with 3-SLI GTX275).
I've never played a MMO game on a console before and i'm a bit sceptical..
And i do hope they merge pc gamers with PS3 gamers.That would be awesome.

[iamtehpwn]

I'm running an i7, GTX 260, and 6g of DDR3.
I'm just going to get Both.

[Myst]

They should since it has been done in XI, PC, PS2, and 360 players were all able to play on the XI servers so I'm sure it should be added in this one.

[EpsilonTeam]

@Nuri
I'll get both versions then since i'll be able to play with the same character on my ps3/pc.

[Myst]

Nice! still deciding if I want to just get both. Since the first time XI came out their wasn't a windowed mode, and running a work-around made you liable for a ban. So if their is one it's still so hard to decide...Depending on prices I still wouldn't know if I would get both.

[Arnon]

PC > PS3 for this one.. if there's any indication from FFXI, you'll have a lot more support for the PC version.

[NeoCloud]

I wanna ask something, Since the PSN is free, does that mean that FFXIV will be free to play on PS3?? are there any MMO's which require u to pay to play on PS3??

PS.Arnon U cant compare PS2 FFXI to PS3 FFXIV, PS2's online was Dead, compared to other MMORPG's on the PC it never stood a chance. PSN is really strong and growing each day, so i think FFXIV on the PS3 will be awesome.

[maxcer]

@7.6

this will have a monthly fee, any decent mmo does these days.

I don't see how they can go from monthly subscription in FFXI and then downgrade to the other model like that, considering they have been at work on this game for a few years now, and the graphical upgrades that have been made. If anything, FFXI will go free when FFXIV launches.

I just hope i don't join the game 3 years too late while everyone has hit the lv cap already... like with FFXI...

[braydon619]

Looks great, i can't wait, but does anyone else agree the names and wording for this game are whack? feels wierd trying to say them all

[Loxhart]

LOL. They do have unusual names, really hard to pronounce like you said. So I agree.

[360isthebestps3sucks]

2014 release of this game in ps3 lol..

[Sigh]

and stop exaggerating the release date, they've worked on this project for almost 5 years believe it or not, so it is certainly releasing next year.

[saimcheeda]

goes multi the bot'll be saying that this is the best game ever!

[Jerk120]

LOL, plz.

Although that may be the correct reaction from the overly common Ps3k, us superior Xbox360 users, however, have a different one.

It's called, lack of interest..

You see, the Xbox360 has LOADS of both quality and quantity games, so, evidently, when a game like this one pops up, it really is nothing special.

Which explains our lack of GIVE A DAMN.

As for ''WHEN IT GOSE MULTIPLATZ''

We already foresee an Xbox360 release, because, not only are Square and Microsoft TIGHT, but, why wouldn't Square want to release their game on this generations best console?

It'll give it one hell of a success boost because..

Success is Xbox360.

[El Botto]

Today, everyone can tell that bots are pathetic creatures. All of their arguments have been destroyed and nowadays bots resort to nitpicking (like Ghostbusters) or self made fantasy arguments like this one:

"2014 release of this game in ps3 lol.."

Knowing that FF14 has a 2010 release date, this stupid xbot went on to say that this game is coming in 2014 for the PS3...I mean where does one even begin. Was that even supposed to be a diss? HAHAHA UNBELIEVABLE!

And the RROD60 is proven to be an inferior piece of shiat. Even though the pictures of FF14 are crappy but damn this game is LOOKING FINE. And its a fking MMO!!! Hahaha and they claim FF13 is not downgraded for the shiatbox60. I DONT BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD THEY SAY HAHAHA.

[saimcheeda]

thats why u dont have bubbles, coz its better if u just shut up!

[Blackcanary]

I hope they bring this out for the IMAC to big time i gonna get this for my PC and my PS3.

[Game13a13y]

i just hope M$ won't lay their dirty hands on this one and ruin it for everybody (delay on release date, downgraded graphics, shorter games, ridiculous subscription fees, etc etc)

[Arnon]

I guarantee you if this game succeeds, you'll see it on the Xbox 360. Too many Xbox 360 only owners who played FFXI.

[Arnon]

Has information about combat, features, characters, etc. Also has screenshots of characters and landscapes.

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.c...

Have fun!

(absolutely gorgeous MMO and is a day-1 purchase on my PS3/PC)

[Crystallis]

There will be a fee. It wont go well if the players on FFXI are paying fees while FFXIV has no fees.

There Will Be Fees.

[Shibaa]

We are boycotting SE products until they fix their issues with ffxi
