New FFXIV concept art

That Bard AF design makes me want to play Bard >.>

It seems that SE is going into ambitious mode for FFXIV to actually remake the whole game and rewrite whole game engine. And they also stated that in interview that they won't make FFXIV into another FFXI.

I hope they keep their promise about FFXIV as causal friendly at least.

Although I'm even more sad that they don't bother to put nearly as much effort in FFXI.


But charging monthly fee in the end of Nov is still a bit too soon IMO, should do it with PS3 release alone with new graphic engine.

Not sure if I can pay for 2 MMORPG at once, when I barely have time to play 1 ;<

  1. Love how most of the development time they spent on FF14 original was on the graphics engine, completely ignoring gameplay, and now the main selling point for FF14 2.0 is... the graphics?

  2. IMO the only gameplay they can come up with atm is just FFXI+1 stuff, NM, more NM. BC fight, more BC fight. Instance raid, more instance raid. Ex/rare, more ex/rare.

    When some original MMORPG such as GW1 or Fantasy Earth Zero was out I was so shocked and was really happy that someone wanna to get MMORPG out of usually old grind mode and play with different concept.

    I guess ppl like what FFXI offered, and wanted graphic enhanced version of FFXI, so FFXIV, there you go.
