sry but what the fuck is that? where is the fight and combat animations? i cant see shit what theyre doing.. they even dont move! my god this game sucks shit xD
the mobs in the final fantasy online games always look lame
small little critters, its seems cruel that a dude with a big sword would go round killing little animals and in some cases a grop beating on something similar to a squirrel
wana see some dongeons and large monsters that quite a big group of people need 2 kill it xD thiis game really does look interesting and however they manage to pull off an mmo on a platform like ps3... Gonna be very interesting :D
@IlluminaBlade Yeah, lets pretend we know something about game development. *rolls fatty and laughs at retard that thinks he can change my opinion by being a smart ass* This games gonna suck ass.
hell yea i remember the pain of putting together combos in FFXI, like how most of the time someone fails, but its was still all around fun, FF14 is like the same but improved.
So to all the haters, good and hate on, dont lemme catch you in my game, or i will turn you into a toad, then summon titan on your ass to finish the job
I don't care for the chat window. I liked FFXI's chat taking up half the screen, it made it feel like a final fantasy, where you never see your character's lower body.
@saltedsidewalk "then" it was probably only alpha...so i guess you can in the final release...well i hope so....would save alot of running time if your haunted by evil creatures in the game
@jubutie acutally i dont know about that because they were actually going to try a new system of payment to where you would only have to pay if u logged on. i heard it was 50c a day. so if u logged on every day for a month it would still be 15$ but if u logged on for 15/30 days then it would only cost u $7.50. but idk if they changed that or not.
@Swisss911 I have heard some where towards the end of this year, but who ever really knows for sure till the game is in its stores lol. I for one cannot wait though.
for 1 if u guys friggin know what ur talking about it should be an advanced class type like in FFXI duh! u think SE gonna let u get everything at the start? if so id say ur a little slow
@spawngregory69 the new MHFO on Xbox 360 is adding an extra charge ontop of the normal Microsoft monthly pay. dont be surprised if PS3 games start needing monthly payments too. It has also been hinted the Sony arent making enough money from PS3, so they might bring in monthly payments, but not for a few years hopefully.
@nagzul not sure ive been hearing alot of ppl say that the game will not start of with a summoner class or any summons but then ive also heard that yes the game will have it.. so im not sure wat to think...
@Raamz124 FFXIV has only revieled a few classes. so right now the classes seen are not summoner. But I doubt they'ed leave it out when they release the game.
I see the incentive for people to stop playing 11 and go to xiv, because after many years of 11 having the same end content, people want something new.. and with the amount of people who leave 11 every month, there is only so much SE can do to keep the attention of the players.. I think 14 will bring back the long lost players of 11, but like every new game, it is something to get used to before you can truely decide if you like it or not.. IMHO it looks amazing.
omg where are the awesome monsters in this game all i see are big fat dodos and rabbits... really need to see more content so far not much to show or to comment on really
This looks just as shitty as 11. I honestly don't see any incentive for someone who has played 11 for years to drop that game and start playing this one. Same boring races, same gender limitations, some slow combat system where you beat up on tiney creatures, like rabbits and shit. Oh well, we'll see how this one turns out I guess, but it looks like more of the same shit.
lmao, these comments are quite funny. To all the idiots who are expecting a hack and slash, this isnt the mmo for you and im glad that you wont be part of that community. This game is based on strategy, and teamwork, not on who can tap a button faster, or who can deal 128390218392018392 damage the fastest.
Hmm I feel that the fighting style is similar to XI but with more freedom in movements.. but I think as you progress in levels fights will be harder and slower. :/
I hope they'll break the long ass fights from the previous XI version. Really got bored from it coz it's slow fights and lack of skills...
sometime in 2010 beta starts in April. I hope that add a speaking channel in XI if you were on a 360 or a pc you could use Team Speak and thats a lot better then typeing comments to eachother imo. I cant wait to beta on PS3
Oh god :/ I hope they make things a little more quick during combat still alot to change before a comercial version but bada's right... that was some fucking slow combat FF 11 was a nice pace, that + a little more solobility would be perfect
@Robopencil Honestly with the first mmo they did the action in it was completely boring. If this ones anything like that one I'll definitely not be playing this one.
I always saw a FF mmo a lot more like City of Heroes. Where you and your group can take on like 10 enemies all at once with super quick game play. Unfortunately they make it so the group can only fight one thing at a time at any time in the first one. It was completely lame.
i never played XI, but i play wow and my warrior attacked that slow the first levels too. i think this are scenes from a starting area.
(the speaker talks german and i am austrian so i undestand what he says and he talks to the people like complete idiots, who never saw a computergame before XD)
actually if you look at the speed of the mob attacking, gameplay is a bit more speedy. the people running around however are just standing around not doing much.
fuck sticks not so smart , sadly :) I bet Bada222 150$ he could never get a character to max level on FF-11. its not a 1-6 hot key mashing get to max level cause you played for a month game. Learn your shit or get the fuck out
Squarenextgame it looks to be something like an Action Bar from WoW....kinda like in ffxi where you had to set up macros for your abilities, but with this you just click and you'll use that ability....but thats just what i think it looks like
I hope to god you can choose a different cursor though, or this is just the demo's version of it. I don't think I'll like having Micky Mouse's hand for a pointer. This isn't Diablo II after all.
if the control is same as white knight chronicles but each skill have different cooldown time and the official game attack at least 3x faster. ill buy this. but if the official game is slow as this video. screw this.! my grandma swing her cane 10x faster.
fanboy? if over 18 years of my 24 year life have been a fan of anything final fantasy because of how well the games were, then yes color me fanboy. I personally call it a dedicated fan.
Go back to your white knight, games like ff14 don't need people like you coming on and insulting the style of this game. Leave this to the mature more experienced gamers, little boy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
little boy? lol im just telling the truth.. im not the only one thinking the game is bad. and i am an experienced mmorpg gamer. and im a gamer for 11 years. dude dont be such a fanboy crying about the game.. this is public comment people can tell what their comments are either negative or positive. what happened to "free country" now. jeeez. and btw WKC is good. pretty interesting you might check it out "mature more experienced gamer". lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
did i say you're the one.? dude you're old enough to stop crying for a game. grow up you fucking crying baby. watch?v=8cJNpPN6AO8 << watch that and maybe you will learn something .
the battles in 14 will be the same as ffxi but this video is not what it will be like when its finished. this is a beta so the graphics and the gameplay arent as sharp plus the person playin it has no clue how to play(Hint the guy in the back tellin him the controls). wait a couple of months for the new beta to release and youll have a better idea of what it will look like
The gameplay is not the same as FFXI at all. Its going to be alot quicker and based on using skills not auto attacking.
And again ppl..what your seeing here is a damn tank...A TANK...a slow combat tank. Not the other 9 classes that are in the game...so you cant say anything yet considering this is more than a year before release footage.
i heard that it might actually be SLOWER. but i did hear they took out auto attack and are making the battle system MUCH more engaging. but this could be totally untrue.
Thats early alpha build, who knows, we might be able to jump or cross rivers in case a mob aggros us, giving us advantage if we use our surroundings efficiantly. Jump cliffs, in FFXI you could fall down cliffs so who knows, might be implemented later :P
lol i wish this asshole would shut up and concentrate... i wanna see how the battle system compares to XI, if at all. overall, im excited for 14 cuz 11 is getting pretty stale and frankly i dont believe you should even have to pay to play 11 anymore!!!!
Remember too, they are playing as low level test characters. Their attack is going to be slow as shit. Everyone has different tastes, I personally love the combat system of ffxi. When you have a lot to do with skill chains and magic and what not, having it auto attack was very nice.
I hope that the game improves alot. I play WoW atm and I tried FF XI but couldn't get into it. I'm really excited about FFXIV. I want it to blow me away :D
If I recall correctly, it's the same as FFXII basically - you have a standard attack that hits every few seconds, and you can choose spells/abilities/etc while that's going on from a pretty standard battle menu. This looks significantly different, which honestly worries me a bit. It looks like they're going for a more westernized, WoW-like ability bar at the bottom. Seems like a huge mistake to me, if people want to play a game like that, they'd just play WoW...
@aamesxdavid From what their saying its not auto attack anymore like in FF11, interesting to me, im a devoted FF series fan i trust theyll make an even better game then 11. And yes i agree i wish they would just stay away from WoW, these guys have the ablility to create very original games. Still cant wait for 14 :)
Thanks for the info. Btw characters are waiting too long before attacking. I dont know that is coz of the players but if its not it looks ilke FFX battle system. In wow you can do instant abilitys but cant see any in this video
Yeah these guys are learning the game on the fly with a crowd of people behind them. Its hard to cope with im sure. If its anything like 11, you will have abilities to use and also when you tp gathers youll have weapon skills.
@kirokaze I played ff 11 for 3 years on and off. I was no pro by any means didnt touch the story line to much to be honest. I did how ever manege to get to level 60 with blm. I just hope they make it so you can solo and level if you cant find a party. FF11 levelikng took way to much time. the travel killed u.
FF series is known for it's RPG's. SE NEEDS to imply a faster battle system, but if not I wouldn't be suprised. They Might be trying to keep it like the title's tradition... Wait per turn, but like any good FFXI player if you can combo you can learn to play to the full extent. Only sorry players complain...
Only sorry players complain? FFXI's battle system sucks. A menu based MMORPG? Have you ever heard of MUD's on telnet? Its the same crap and that's like 12 years or more old. Windows 98 had it so I guess 12 years at least? I played FFXI, I liked it but the combat blows nuts. Im not a fanboy of WoW but WoW is way better. FF14 and any MMO needs an engine like WoW to be competitive. FFXI's story, quests, classes and so on blow WoW out of the water but the engine blows. This game needs WoW's engine.
In this ffxiv, you don't just auto attack like in ffxi. You have 2 bars and have to choice which attack every time so I'd bet that why they are attacking very slow because it is a demo display only.
Aw, I acctualy thought ill try this when it comes out, but when i see the combat and notice that its the same as in FF11 ( SLOW ) I dont think i will, I get it that there is shitload of stuff to do in the game, I simply cant get past the fact that fights are this slow :c
yeah i think thats bad too, but its ok, i mean... look at those graphix O.o, and tbh im already used to not jumping mmorpg.. its not bad, but i wish there were some too... hope theres a way to tbag
LOL XD wrong again, the game i play are final fantasy, metal gear bayonetta, eternal sonata, resident evil, u know the good game.. not fps trash xD, u really have a crappy way of thinking O.o, btw bayonetta is new.. its awesome xD
well tbagging is possible in other games as well, its very common in games with pvp in any way, i dont think u can reduce tbagger to fps player, tbh i dont care about tbag, i just hope ff 14 wil be owesome!!
Yes, a balance between solo play when compared to FFXI. As in, solo play will be possible in FFXIV, but groups will still be required for different objectives.
Anyhoo, this is looking way better than WoW. Got so tired of its repetitive content and sleep inducing combat.
You have to realise though, Final Fantasy online both XI and XiV from the looks of it are not "action" games. The battle system is based off of your stats and technique and skill, not " I pressed my button faster". The way it's built is also highly dependant on Teamwork, which is why alot of people from WoW don't enjoy it. You can't compare it to WoW. It's completely different and if you look at how it was designed, not comparing to other things. It's an amazing battle system.
@Andrew2802 I read in Wikipedia that teamwork was de-emphasized and now there's a balance between solo play and group.
Still, this is probably gonna end up being another cash-cow grindfest... Make an MMO that doesn't rely on mindless, tedious, redundant grind for progress and that you only pay for ONCE (or for expansions like Guild Wars) instead of monthly and I'll be a bit more interested.
You read in wikipedia about FFXI or FFXIV? Because I still play FFXI and the only thing they really balanced out is being able to solo your exp a little bit better. You still can't do anything worthwhile without a group.
More than half of what you're suppose to see is missing from this version's build. Can't wait to see a more advanced version's footage. With animations that WORK! Especially mage animations. The Lalafells were actually doing things, there just were no animations showing what they were doing LOL Sad....
as long as their are a variation of say 2 hit and 3 hit combo melee attacks and u are able to chain them together then no auto attack is fine for me - so far thou 5 seconds between single attacks would get tiresome for me strategy or no.
Either way I'm definitely picking it up when it's released. The excitement that builds within from merely hearing the name is exciting... gonna start playing xi again till it comes out. It's about the journey... and this will definitely be a breath-taking adventure. Can't wait to explore Eorzea... I'm going Elezen/Gridania!
The more I see this it makes me think one person is controlling the characters while trying to explain the game's general concepts (thus far) simultaneously. If we could understand what he was saying... it'd probably make a whole lot more sense.
For games like FF11 where the auto-attack is in, you are too occupied with other things to spend your time hitting "attack attack attack" repeatedly. Such as gear swapping for your WS, job abilities, and especially if your a mage class like RDM or BLM casting spells AND doing WS. You can't be bothered with spamming the same button over and over... what's more fun about that anyways?
well, the idea of actualy usind skill to play a game is whats good, like to dodge things or hits, jump off walls, actual sword fights... its just good lol and why wouldnt you want it, i get what you mean do but they can always come up with a way for you to use that stuff fast maybe like in a realtime menu that pops up wile your playinby hitting R2 or somthing,or like Kingdom Hearts,another great reason why it works its KH mhm mhm soo gooood. I just like to feel like i am the one who is figthing.
I COMPLETELY agree with you. However, just because the character is on auto-attack doesn't mean you aren't being strategic. gear swapping magic casting,weapon skills etc all based on certain situations as they occur is vital. timing things with other characters too to create skillchains, with all these other things you can't be bothered slamming 1 button and running in circles. It's a 1000 times more strategic in my opinion.
I liked KH but it didn't have a lot of strategy or require much skill.
I see , i gues your right about that.. i realy dont like pointless hack and slashers ither.. mhm you make a ton of sense, but in a game like Bushido blade and tenchu it be nice hehe.. hmm i gues ima stil try this after all =]
You will have a large array of abilities which you pick a set of and chain them together instead of using auto attacks.
Enemies adapt to your attacks in FFXIV. The idea is to force you to move past the endless repitition of a single strategy and to also add diversity within each individual class. SE is encouraging you to think on your feet as opposed to using the carved in stone "strategies" you find in FFXI.
While it undoubtedly will not be perfect, this system is closer to true strategy.
This isn't how the gameplay is. It's the alpha and the person playing it has never played FFXIV before. The combat system in FFXIV does not have auto-attack, so you're not waiting to hit.
well i've played EQ, EQOA, WoW, FFXI, SWG and Warhammer and in all of those there was some sort of cooldown between attacks, you couldnt just spam like in ninja gaiden or kingdom hearts or something.
nope no more lazy ass players that hit attack and leave they actually have to stay behind the controller now! and now you'll actually feel like you got something accomplished after you kill it.
i really hope they keep auto-attack-like FFXI Thats why i liked it so mutch, cause if u didnt want to, u didnt hafto hit a million buttons unless u were a mage class, but even then u could melee and cast at the same time. If theres no auto-attack it might be more blanced, but then again everyone would just sit on thier ass like a blm and fall asleep.

LOL. Just look at it. Its like watching two grandpas trying to hug each other.
If the game wasn't titled Final Fantasy, I bet barely any people would get the game.

fuck sticks not so smart , sadly :) I bet Bada222 150$ he could never get a character to max level on FF-11. its not a 1-6 hot key mashing get to max level cause you played for a month game. Learn your shit or get the fuck out

Squarenextgame it looks to be something like an Action Bar from WoW....kinda like in ffxi where you had to set up macros for your abilities, but with this you just click and you'll use that ability....but thats just what i think it looks like

Looking at Alpha Footage of an MMO is like throwing a dark at the globe, and only looking at the land that lies beneath the tip of that dart.
Wait for it people, don't decide just yet.

the battles in 14 will be the same as ffxi but this video is not what it will be like when its finished. this is a beta so the graphics and the gameplay arent as sharp plus the person playin it has no clue how to play(Hint the guy in the back tellin him the controls). wait a couple of months for the new beta to release and youll have a better idea of what it will look like
JDMxFaNaTiC 2 years ago 3
The gameplay is not the same as FFXI at all. Its going to be alot quicker and based on using skills not auto attacking.
And again ppl..what your seeing here is a damn tank...A TANK...a slow combat tank. Not the other 9 classes that are in the game...so you cant say anything yet considering this is more than a year before release footage.

Thats early alpha build, who knows, we might be able to jump or cross rivers in case a mob aggros us, giving us advantage if we use our surroundings efficiantly. Jump cliffs, in FFXI you could fall down cliffs so who knows, might be implemented later :P

ethereal85 2 years ago
Remember too, they are playing as low level test characters. Their attack is going to be slow as shit. Everyone has different tastes, I personally love the combat system of ffxi. When you have a lot to do with skill chains and magic and what not, having it auto attack was very nice.

I played all FF series but not the online one. Can someone tell me how the combat system works? This looks slow and confusing at this video.
dogacan88 2 years ago
If I recall correctly, it's the same as FFXII basically - you have a standard attack that hits every few seconds, and you can choose spells/abilities/etc while that's going on from a pretty standard battle menu. This looks significantly different, which honestly worries me a bit. It looks like they're going for a more westernized, WoW-like ability bar at the bottom. Seems like a huge mistake to me, if people want to play a game like that, they'd just play WoW...
aamesxdavid 2 years ago
@aamesxdavid From what their saying its not auto attack anymore like in FF11, interesting to me, im a devoted FF series fan i trust theyll make an even better game then 11. And yes i agree i wish they would just stay away from WoW, these guys have the ablility to create very original games. Still cant wait for 14 :)
kirokaze 2 years ago 2
Thanks for the info. Btw characters are waiting too long before attacking. I dont know that is coz of the players but if its not it looks ilke FFX battle system. In wow you can do instant abilitys but cant see any in this video

Yeah these guys are learning the game on the fly with a crowd of people behind them. Its hard to cope with im sure. If its anything like 11, you will have abilities to use and also when you tp gathers youll have weapon skills.

@kirokaze I played ff 11 for 3 years on and off. I was no pro by any means didnt touch the story line to much to be honest. I did how ever manege to get to level 60 with blm.

FF series is known for it's RPG's. SE NEEDS to imply a faster battle system, but if not I wouldn't be suprised. They Might be trying to keep it like the title's tradition... Wait per turn, but like any good FFXI player if you can combo you can learn to play to the full extent. Only sorry players complain...
tylerbenrich 2 years ago
Only sorry players complain? FFXI's battle system sucks. A menu based MMORPG? Have you ever heard of MUD's on telnet? Its the same crap and that's like 12 years or more old. Windows 98 had it so I guess 12 years at least? I played FFXI, I liked it but the combat blows nuts. Im not a fanboy of WoW but WoW is way better. FF14 and any MMO needs an engine like WoW to be competitive. FFXI's story, quests, classes and so on blow WoW out of the water but the engine blows. This game needs WoW's engine.

In this ffxiv, you don't just auto attack like in ffxi. You have 2 bars and have to choice which attack every time so I'd bet that why they are attacking very slow because it is a demo display only.

Yes, a balance between solo play when compared to FFXI. As in, solo play will be possible in FFXIV, but groups will still be required for different objectives.
Anyhoo, this is looking way better than WoW. Got so tired of its repetitive content and sleep inducing combat.

EnglishTurtle 2 years ago
You have to realise though, Final Fantasy online both XI and XiV from the looks of it are not "action" games. The battle system is based off of your stats and technique and skill, not " I pressed my button faster". The way it's built is also highly dependant on Teamwork, which is why alot of people from WoW don't enjoy it. You can't compare it to WoW. It's completely different and if you look at how it was designed, not comparing to other things. It's an amazing battle system.
Andrew2802 2 years ago 4
@Andrew2802 I read in Wikipedia that teamwork was de-emphasized and now there's a balance between solo play and group.
Still, this is probably gonna end up being another cash-cow grindfest... Make an MMO that doesn't rely on mindless, tedious, redundant grind for progress and that you only pay for ONCE (or for expansions like Guild Wars) instead of monthly and I'll be a bit more interested.
n30l1nk 2 years ago
You read in wikipedia about FFXI or FFXIV? Because I still play FFXI and the only thing they really balanced out is being able to solo your exp a little bit better. You still can't do anything worthwhile without a group.

as long as their are a variation of say 2 hit and 3 hit combo melee attacks and u are able to chain them together then no auto attack is fine for me - so far thou 5 seconds between single attacks would get tiresome for me strategy or no.

HonorOfGod 2 years ago
For games like FF11 where the auto-attack is in, you are too occupied with other things to spend your time hitting "attack attack attack" repeatedly. Such as gear swapping for your WS, job abilities, and especially if your a mage class like RDM or BLM casting spells AND doing WS. You can't be bothered with spamming the same button over and over... what's more fun about that anyways?
AstralAbraxas 2 years ago
well, the idea of actualy usind skill to play a game is whats good, like to dodge things or hits, jump off walls, actual sword fights... its just good lol and why wouldnt you want it, i get what you mean do but they can always come up with a way for you to use that stuff fast maybe like in a realtime menu that pops up wile your playinby hitting R2 or somthing,or like Kingdom Hearts,another great reason why it works its KH mhm mhm soo gooood. I just like to feel like i am the one who is figthing.
HonorOfGod 2 years ago
I COMPLETELY agree with you. However, just because the character is on auto-attack doesn't mean you aren't being strategic. gear swapping magic casting,weapon skills etc all based on certain situations as they occur is vital. timing things with other characters too to create skillchains, with all these other things you can't be bothered slamming 1 button and running in circles. It's a 1000 times more strategic in my opinion.
I liked KH but it didn't have a lot of strategy or require much skill.
AstralAbraxas 2 years ago

Gear swapping was a weak playerbase compensation for ridiculous itemization and implementation on Square's part and shouldn't have been necessary.
Infares 2 years ago
You will have a large array of abilities which you pick a set of and chain them together instead of using auto attacks.
Enemies adapt to your attacks in FFXIV. The idea is to force you to move past the endless repitition of a single strategy and to also add diversity within each individual class. SE is encouraging you to think on your feet as opposed to using the carved in stone "strategies" you find in FFXI.
While it undoubtedly will not be perfect, this system is closer to true strategy.
Sovermilion 2 years ago
This isn't how the gameplay is. It's the alpha and the person playing it has never played FFXIV before. The combat system in FFXIV does not have auto-attack, so you're not waiting to hit.

i really hope they keep auto-attack-like FFXI Thats why i liked it so mutch, cause if u didnt want to, u didnt hafto hit a million buttons unless u were a mage class, but even then u could melee and cast at the same time. If theres no auto-attack it might be more blanced, but then again everyone would just sit on thier ass like a blm and fall asleep.
