Instead, we are going to buy FFXIV and stick with it.

PC Minimum Requirements

Operating System Windows XP SP3 1, Windows Vista 32bit SP2 / 64bit 2 SP2, or Windows 7 32bit / 64bit 2
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo (2.0Ghz) or higher, or AMD Athlon X2 (2.0Ghz) or higher
RAM Windows XP: 1.5GB or more, or Windows Vista/7: 2GB or more
HDD/SDD Space Installation: 15GB or more ; Download: Space on the hard drive where My Documents is located should be 6GB or more
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9600 series or higher with VRAM 512MB or more, or ATI Radeon 2900 series or higher with VRAM 512MB or more
Sound Card DirectSound compatible sound card (DirectX 9.0c or higher)
Internet Connection Broadband internet connection or higher
Screen Resolution 1280 x 720 or higher; 32-bit
DirectX DirectX 9.0c
Others Mouse, Keyboard, and/or Gamepad

Recommended System Requirements

Operating System Windows 7 32bit / 64bit 2
CPU Intel Core i7 (2.66 GHz) or higher
RAM 4GB or more
HDD/SDD Space Installation: 15GB or more ; Download: Space on the hard drive where My Documents is located should be 6GB or more
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX460 or better with VRAM 768MB or more

For ATI cards, anything above Radeon HD 5770 will perform well. Since, crossfired cards do not kick in when in windowed modes, the 5970 will not perform as well as the 5870 because it is two cards (5870) in one. For optimal ffxi performance, a Radeon HD 5870 would be sufficient. A vaporx version will run twice as cool, and with less noise, but is at least an extra $100.
Sound Card DirectSound compatible sound card (DirectX 9.0c or higher)
Internet Connection Broadband internet connection or higher

I'm not buying FFXIV because I'm too busy with FFXI as it stands now. Also, myself and a few people in my LS got alpha/beta invites and decided it's shit.

I'm really wondering what sort of player population this game is going to have in its initial launch.

The idea of early entry for special edition users is already a bad idea considering there has been both alpha and beta prep stages already.

And then all the horrible reports of the Hardcore players being punished with this fatigue system.

I honestly can't see this gamer population getting that much bigger than 500k at best.

Unless I am mistaken that all the retards who bought FF XII and newer fantasies games are ready to jump on, but the difference especially between the traditional releases and the online game has never been further.

That coupled with in the fact that all XI gamers know they were burnt the fuck out on XI, do they really see an big transition happening?

I was in the closed beta with a 2000 computer. Cities were pretty terrible, though you could still do whatever you needed. It wasn't bad when I was off on my own. Though its hard to tell just how much of the lag was from the actual game being slow, all the way down to the menus. It takes over 40 seconds just for all of the crafting menus to load.

The game engine is pretty terribly optimized, though maybe it'll be better in the open beta/release. It doesn't properly use multi-core CPUs and it also tries to murder your video card. People with top of the line cards were reporting ridiculous temperatures akin to GPU torture tests.

Well I was planning on playing this; I quit FFXI two years or so ago (and wasn't really playing much for the last year that I subscribed) so I wouldn't have had any burnout problems, and I already quit WoW after a little over a year of playing (Cataclysm actually motivated me to *quit* WoW).

Then I saw the system requirements, which now conveniently kill my motivation so I don't waste any time or money on it. Hell, I'm not even THINKING about playing it anymore.

Guess I'll go back to playing Atlantica when they finally fix the fucking font size; took a longer-than-expected break from it while playing Cosmic Break and Eien no Aselia and came back just in time for a major update that broke the font. I had been questioning whether I should even bother coming back to it if I was going to end up playing FFXIV but nevermind on that now.

Beta 3 build:
Core 2 Duo OC @ 3.1ghz w/ 5770, 4gb RAM
Could run the game on low @ 30-45+ fps with shadows on low and other graphic options off. Lags in crowded and large areas. almost unplayable on high (and over) setting except on small areas. didn't notice much difference in switching resolution from 1080p to various lower windowed resolutions.

Yeah, you show em how to add the "4th pillar" into MMO's, Bioware.

At least GW2 is taking an unique approach to adding an interactive story to an MMO and in a way that is conducive to the genre, rather than just slapping Mass Effect Dialogue choices onto it and calling it 'innovation'. But hey, at least TOR will have fully voiced dialogue!

The fatigue meter progressively limits the exp you're getting for ONE class AFTER 8 hours, and even then it doesn't stop until like 8 hours after that. Even then the exp you "lose" is stored on your character and they are thinking about rewards for this excess exp.
So it just means they're trying to get you to level a greater number classes more slowly, and not just rush one class to max, rinse, repeat.

No, it isn't, and people are taking it way out of context. The fatigue/surplus system does not limit you to playing one class for 8 hours per week. It is not 8 hours of normal game time. It is 8 hours of earning a certain threshold of xp for one class, and then your xp gain begins to diminish.

However, any time you spend not gaining xp for that class (and likely within the threshold) will start recovering your fatigue. The weekly reset is simply there to assure you, no matter what you do, your fatigue will go back down.

It's NOT HOURS. It's a certain xp threshhold. There are 15 "tiers", built around the assumption that assumption that each one will take AROUND an hour to complete.

The first 8 tiers grant normal xp. After that point, each tier reduces xp gradually until it diminishes to nothing. Each "class" has its own set, so you can swap classes afterwards and receive full xp on it. Character xp does not reset with a class change though, so you are limited to a certain amount.

Its not really that bad and most people will probably never even hit it. you have 8 hours of 100% xp gain per class and then its starts diminishing and hits 0% at like 16 hours. However any time you are in a city, playing as another class or logged off it replenishes slowly and once a week guarantied it resets to max. and since you have to switch classes to harvest or craft and log off at night its unlikely it will affect any but the most hardcore.

Not too mention, that by Bioware's own admission, the group dynamics and encounters are designed with WoW in mind. Have you seen the group play videos? It was like watching WoW with lightsabers and blaster pistols instead of swords and bows and arrows.

If you switch from a magician class to gathering and then want to switch back, you're fucked cause your max MP has been reduced by half or so in the meantime, forcing you to touch an aetherythe again.

Then you also have to re-equip all your skills again to your action bar (unless you made a previous macro with /eaction).

The above applies to equipement.


The whole "on the fly" concept is bullshit. It was faster for me to start crafting/gathering on XI than it is now on XIV.

Regardless of whether or not you consider it off-topic, asian MMO threads have always been around and are an accepted part of /jp/ as far as meido-san is concerned. Does everyone agree? No, but we've been bickering about what does and doesn't belong on /jp/ since the beginning. Saten threads provide no content to discuss. It's an /a/ meme with no place on /jp/.

And for the record, you can't have a MMO thread on /v/ without it turning into a raging shitstorm. /v/ hates MMO's and anything asian in general. Mix the two together and it's a recipe for disaster there.

>It's not fair that Saten-san gets persecuted against

I do appreciate you giving me a good laugh, nonetheless. That's all I have to say on this subject.

Was really looking forward to getting back into the game tonight and checking out Ul'dah and Gridania to figure out where I want to start in retail.

It also looks like the vast majority of people want to start in Gridania as well, so it's going to be overcrowded.

I also wanted to really delve into the crafting system in OB, since I only time to just scratch the surface of crafting before beta 3 ended.

I'm not whining about MMOs or the "validity" of them on /jp/; it's the fact they talk about the same, generic, mainstream and moemoe MMOs that offer nothing new and rely on nothing but a gimmick/name. They don't even talk about actually MMO properties, but instead just treat /jp/ as no different than the official forums and use it as a meeting and introductory grounds (there for playing the MMO more off its social aspect, than game aspect).

I love MMOs, but what's worse is when an actual interesting MMO comes out and introduces new and exciting elements, /jp/ pays it no mind simply because it's not a mainstream title with a name attached to it or a two-bit Asian MMO that relies heavily on moe.

Although there is truth somewhat to your point and especially when people don't want to pay hundreds upon hundreds of dollars just to get up to a decent framerate and then pay a monthly subscription on top of that, the PS3 seems like a decent option.

Awesome FFXIV thread guys,
lets see all your characters when you start up,

And lets see if you can avoid hotglue and create a Linkshell that isn't founded on E-Peens and circlejerk sessions

I would avoid most /jp/ tripfags on principle alone

I am glad you are admitting it. Most other people would've pulled shit like >>6055030 but you seem to be somewhat grown-up in your head. Thumbs up for you.

Not like the game takes skill anymore.

No. I will play a game that allows me to gain EXP for as long as I want. Fuck your shit.

There's no point. The game no longer requires skill.
If the game were still at the pre-molten core stage I would.

So why are people complaining about the eight hours thing?
This way we will all be near the same level and won't have a few people ten times our level.

Why do people care if there are others higher level than you? This will always be the case regardless of this system or not.

Pretty sure that will change with Cataclysm. They are gonna redesign boss encounters and stuff so you actually have to pay attention instead of mashing buttons. And judging from what I've seen in the new lvl 78 (normal) dungeons, shit's gonna be really hard. You should give it a try when it's out.
I'll be waiting for you!

Why would I want to avoid playing with jp? I want to avoid playing with everyone BUT jp. Sounds like some nerd is angry about god knows what.

Doesn't matter how much you try to convince yourself that WoW will get any harder, it won't.

They've found their casual market where everyone wants the best equipment without working for it, and they're going to stick to it, if anything it'll be even easier now.

Enough with the bad excuses already. Go buy the game and prove you have the skill to compete at PvE and PvP.

I played since release until a while after WotLK, it's not getting any better, and with all the stuff they removed from Cataclysm I don't see a point at all in it.

Your trolling is weak, bring in some good arguments next time or don't bother at all.

Guess that means it's game over for you. You seem to have no real arguments against Cataclysm apart from your limited, negative WotLK experience. And I doubt you have a beta account to try it out yourself. Oh well, enjoy your FF14 for the next week or two. And here, let me give you this funny comic about an african american Harry Potter fan before we part.

It doesn't matter if I've played the beta or not, I've seen where the game is going, and I don't like it, and the features they removed from Cataclysm aren't my opinion, they're facts.

And thank you, I will enjoy the beta, you enjoy your dailies as well.
