Arkhan, do you not have a gaming quality PC? Just wondering why you would get the PS3 and not PC version.
I have considered getting this, but I am very opposed to monthly gaming fees. Guild Wars is the only game of this type I ever played.

Well interesting news about the upcoming release. http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/topics/ffxiv/ Basicly giving incentives to get people to play both.
its not an incentive.
It's a measure to get the whiney FF11 zealots to finally give up on the game by allowing them to try both and realize it is time to move on. :D
I just quit FF11. It really is time to stop playing that game when all you do is fish and laugh at n00bs
What mmorpg do you not do that in?
no no, i mean when thats all you have left to kill time is those two things, you are done with that MMO, lol
LOL true but then agan if your an xbox 360 achivement hore it will take alot to be bored of the game.

My word FF has become so f*cking lame. These f*cking Pride Day costumes, and unfathomably abstract "systems"...I can't believe this shit is still going. The only way to make FF lamer would be to make it a MMORPG...oh wait...

Have you tried them out? Aside from FF12, all of the other systems weren't that bad. They are basically manual-level up systems with swirly nonsense for ADD stricken people.

FF11 was a power house of an MMO and broke the Western cookie cutter mold for MMOs in half, lol. It also successfully did the console MMO thing that PSO almost nailed.

Tell us about the “fatigue” and “dormancy” systems please. We wanted to introduce a system to reward players who don’t have a lot of time to play. Maybe it looks as though we are placing long playing users at a disadvantage, but the idea is really to let play for short periods be viable. Won’t that cause some concern amongst players who play for longer? We want these players to try different classes. If you change class the fatigue doesn’t affect you, so you could try non-combat classes as well. You actually have more play choices now as you can make more characters. “Some concern” may be a colossal understatement if early reports of just how draconian the limits are turn out to be correct: Fatigue goes up to about 50% in 2 hours, and it takes 2 days to go down! So, if you play 4 hours you have to stop playing completely for 2 days! WHAT!? Only 1 hour a day! What’s really amazing is that you have to pay a monthly subscription for this… They can’t get away with this on a subscription game. They’ll be sued! So you get bonuses for staying logged out – the servers are going to be nice and quiet, aren’t they! More on the “dormancy” system: Recovery takes time. 2 hours of combat or 1 hour of craft will induce “dormancy.” The dormancy is actually shared over different characters. It will decrease gains to 0% in the end. It seems to be proportional to the amount of XP you earn. Both light and heavy player are going to weep... Such systems are not unique, but Square Enix appears to have taken the system to an extreme likely to either completely eliminate its “hardcore” player strata – to say nothing of its high-handedness in dictating to players that they can only play an hour day.
I don't know this kinda sounds like it sucks to me.

1) It wont be that bad 2) Its like wow, rested bonus = more xp. You dont play for 2 days , and make up for it when you do come back. People who played nonstop still have 2 days of playing on you. 3) Hardcore gamers will be playing while the people with lives are dormant so it wont even effect them. They'll continue to forget to bathe, ingest 500 bags of doritos, and wonder why they are 900lbs and cant get out of the chair.

I think getting pentalized for playing a job to much tho is kinda retarted.
you're not getting penalized, you're just no longer getting a disgusting advantage over casual players just because you're unemployed, lazy, have nothing better to do, and sat on the game for 19 hours straight grinding shit out. lol

no you're just being placed on an even playing field with people who don't power game. Now, sitting on the game all day camping and being obsessive won't get you as far as FF11 did.
people who lived on FF11 were vastly ahead of anyone who didn't. This will make people think twice about basically obsessing

I tried playing it to much lag but oh well still looking forward to the official release.
Whats your computer's specs? You need some top end stuff for it to run.
Title: Re: Final fantasy XIV anyone gona get it?
Post by: geralds on September 18, 2010, 07:09:32 AM
Not relly there lower ing requirements for release becouse over 50% of people lag. That one reson ps3 copy is being delayed to downgrade graphic becouse it was pushing memory to much causing some ps3s to over hear. Most the lag right now as even se said was server lag the fact so some people want to try out beta i meet the specs just fine yet i still lag.

Yeah my friends computer has bad mouse lag. It sucks for him. I guess im lucky and dont have any problems.
I run the game in 1280x720 fullscreen w/ everything else on high, and it is good to go.
The only time I lagged was before I put the SSD in. Itd stutter when loading new areas. Id have to wait for it to finish before walking. lol
