Final Fantasy XIV

Being that you're from Sweden, we all know it's really for the baby seals ;-)
 
I don't have any seals near where I live =( Norway stole them all together with the oil.
 
Funniest exchange I've read in a while... +1 to both parties

As long as they keep a FFXI menu style interface in XIV I'll be happy,

Fuck. No.

If they want to have any hope of pulling in non-successor players, they need a new, more intuitive interface. FFXIs interface can only be summed up in one word: clunky.

Here's an extra bit of good news from the conference:

I don't see Sage Sundi in that line up.

Biggest selling point ever. Seriously
 
of all the interfaces I have dealt with, I prefer FFXI's. But that could be because thats where my roots are and what I got accustomed to first.
 
There's nothing wrong with the FFXI interface, i personally can't wait to play this game the only thing that i hope is that it's released everywhere at the same time... maybe not give the jps a year head start on us this time.

This.

I've never liked the interfaces with fancy icons for everything. I just want a button that says "items" for my inventory, not a cool yellow/green looking thing with a dancing bag.

But then again I've used compact keyboard settings for everything since the beginning, and just hit ctrl+I instead.

lol que? There was nothing wrong with the FFXI interface
 
The video did not impress me. A lot of shit would have to change to get me interested. Like changing itemization so you constantly have new and cooler stuff to attain, getting rid of NM camping for gear, instancing things and not sharing them across the server, improving graphics and interfaces, and being more mod friendly etc. In general I hope they learned a lot from WoW.

/wave from the other side of the fence.

I can't stand WoW, i'd never play the new FF if they tried to imitate it lol... while some of the ideas are not bad, i'd still prefer them to do their own new things and maintain my attention without resourcing themselves to copy that pos game. (no offence wow players, just my opinion.)
 
it would be pointless to copy WoW and just replace everything with FFXI looks.
 
They just need to take pages from WoW's book and stay a FF game. So much in WoW are wonderful. A customizable interface would be fantastic, instance servers so we're not sitting there waiting for people to finish so we can do our event. Titles, Mounts with some variety and progression! It should be fun trying to get new gear, not just when you finally do get it.
 
I do like WoW's achievement system where you can compare your achievements with others and check your progress on it. WoW's instance system is also superior to FFXI.

Sadly, WoW is still a boring game.
 
FFXIV'll probably have Trophies though. Show'em online and crap.
 
I have such high hopes for this game. I will be playing launch day for sure.

2010 please come quicker

How sad am I? I found myself wishing I could just skip the next 9 or so months until the game came out. Then I started to plan on carrying over some vacation. :D
 
They really should learn from WoW, like the instances and customizable interface cause really sometimes I do get bored looking at the same UI for months and some helpful data for me. And also, come on let's do some jumping and more emotes that are actually emotes. We'll see but I'm for sure getting this day one. Just need 2010 to come sooner.
 
I hope FFXIV has a jump. I'm so sick of a small rock blocking my path all the time D:
