Final Fantasy XIV dated

I think I might pick it up. I loved FFXI, but this game just seems rushed, I'll be the judge for that when beta hits.
 
It is definitely a concern I would agree with.

This does feel as though they're strategically releasing it early to avoid going head to head against Cataclysm.

It could be costly, but depending on how sound/solid the game's foundations are it could also be a very smart move.

Not sure If I've read it right, but is FFXIV going to implicate a skill-based progression system that is combined w/ questing instead of going w/ the traditional level by quest grind?
Anyone know?

All I know is the weapon-based classes. Also, I think I'm gonna try this if its cheap, but my money is most likely going to The Old Republic.
 
I'll at least check it out. I have minimal interest.

More interested in TERA.

What about TERA has your interest Sissy? I haven't read up on much of it, just maybe an article or two, so I'm not really informed about what it brings to the table.

From screenshots and videos, I first and foremost like the art style and settings. I'm fickle and will dump or not even play an MMO based on how it looks, lol.

Secondly, TERA is action based. So from what I gather it's much more akin to playing a console's beat-em-up game like God of War and the like. You have to be in certain distances to land the attacks you throw, even if the enemy launches an attack, moving away from them will make them miss, and magic and ranged classes have to aim targets.

I am really interested in these action-MMOs that are coming out. Unfortunately I have to wait 'till next year for TERA, but Nexon is coming out with Vindictus this year, which is also action based. Vindictus uses the Source engine and looks pretty darn good. I like TERA's art better tho.

As far as character and world design and art styles, I have to say my favorite so far is Aion. I love Aion so much. :blushing: But it's not just that, I really do enjoy the game play as well, lol.

As far as char., world design, and art style goes, I completely agree that Aion is a beautiful game. I was hyped over that game for...2 1/2 years b4 it finally released. The PvPvE sounded great in theory but once I saw it in practice, I was not as impressed. Also the way you're basically herded into the Abyss where you're preyed upon by those groups of people who power leveled the millions of xp needed tah cap just completely turned me off.

I really wanted tah like that game. Now I get tah keep one eye on FFXIV, one on SW:TOR, and one I don't have on Blade and Soul. XD

And I don't care so much for Star Wars at all. Eh.
