FFXIV Beta 2 Gameplay - The Starting City Limsa Lominsa with Rocs Lock HD

[Kirxuto]

wait.... wait.... please answer me this:

to walk you have to use the mouse or just using the arrow keys?????

PD: if is with the mouse this game sucks

[TJAkiller92]

the combat seems slow.. other than that the scenery is great as always and the graphics look awesome

[ButtErBaLL619]

to those with bad pc lol i feel sorry for u cuz the wait for the ps3 launch is next year.... and prolly for a longtime xbox 360 will get it eventually, just as they did with ff 11 so dont count them out.... to all those ff 11 players from the past or present. final fantasy is way better then w0w lol.

[ButtErBaLL619]

lol people say this game suxx... but when they play it there amazed on how the game looks and how fun is it. then they think the game wont be fix thats what patches are for...... and might i add u playing a beta meaning testing so it will be fixed eventually. so dont hate on something thats on the early stages of the release. cuz ff 11 was pretty bad at first then it got better.

[drl070]

Bastok...

[roblolzzz]

question, maybe i shoulda asked this on a different vid but im lazy, as far is the fighting goes is it like ffxi where it takes forever to kill stuff and at highter levels youre going to be stuck searching for groups for hours with no other way of advancing further solo or is there going to be a way to advance your character some other way than bashing a little monster for 15 minutes then resting for 10 minutes between fights for little to no progress?

[ExtendedWeekend]

Hey love the videos. I've seen em on another site too.

What would be the benefit of joining this linkshell? apart from help in uber quests?

I played FFXI, but it was forever ago

[TheSmoonge]

you seem to run this game smoothly... what are you system specs if you don't mind me asking?

[sladey21]

ive registered my code but everytime i try log in to the beta test site it kinda refreshes and just says click next if you have changed page.PLEASE HELP!

[donte415]

got into the beta today. only playd 10mins. pretty cool so far. will play more later today. how do i join your group rocs?

[SergioSource]

just seeing the Beta owns any single MMO Ive played... March, when will you come

[perfectomega1]

Game looks awesome. Getting it on the 22nd with my extra bits thanks to collectors edition. One question. How do you get Linkshells or guilds or whatever they are called in this game? And do they cost anything gil-wise to create like in FF11?

[gmoya909]

i take Limsa Lominsa is the next sandoria with a ocean ^ ^ or bostok XD

[yuna866]

you game just runs great wut pc u got?

[yuna866]

hows ur mouse running so good mines is totally lagging :(

[ImmortalConcept]

Do you know if this game will have voice acting when it's actually released?

[YesterdaysNewspaper]

I got so stupidly lost here the first time *=_=*

[Venomivy1617]

4:25 Pretty  *_*

[justwealth]

Are there instanced dungeons in this game?

[jfuya2000]

Question (If you have some insight on the matter that is): How does SE plan on keeping the economy of the game in check so that it does not get out of hand like in XI? Also, is there any sort of behavior players should engage in or refrain from engaging in that could help as well?

Thx! =)

[furiousbeast]

Excellent videos ive watched most of them :) Do you have to start in this city btw or is there a number of diffrent starting cities like in FF11?

[doubleas2380]

This looks awesome!

[CrankySailor]

lol that galka is so huge i just can imagine him telling to the guy " Me gonna eat youre HEAD!!! puny human''

[KindredEmotions]

I don't know if you mentioned this in one of your previous videos, but what are your PC specs and what settings are you playing on? This video shows a bit more lag than your others.

[RocsLock]

@KindredEmotions Yeah I had fraps on, a video in Sony Vegas rendering and a video being uploaded to Youtube while play lol. I rarely lag ever and my specs are on profile ;)

[Hanzo365]

I had been worrying about the camera before I saw this video.. I didn´t know if you could be able to play from 1st perspective. If 3rd perspective would had been all there is, this would had been a very hard game on PS3. At last, my hundreds of hours of playing Oblivion will pay off :D Hopefully FFXIV gets a way better PS3 version though..

[RocsLock]

@Hanzo365 i love oblivion

[Hanzo365]

@RocsLock Yup, it´s a great game, maybe my fav. game ever...By the way, didn´t they plan to make TES5 an online game?

[RocsLock]

@Hanzo365 around 2011 yeah

[Hanzo365]

@RocsLock  Have they confirmed it?

[Matchless138]

No chat? How can you communicate with other players? I wanna get this game so badly, but I can't seem to find a chat module.

[RocsLock]

@Matchless138 Its in the bottom left lol

[Matchless138]

@RocsLock

Oh I see. Sorry about the error.

[YesterdaysNewspaper]

@Matchless138

 lol of course theres chat

[c0nt3g0]

the more i see of this game the less im able to wait for it

[momorgoth]

Thats a LOT of text!!! I've seen more lines in this extract then in the whole FFXIII.

and FFXIV is an MMO!

Also, you seem to be playing on the pc with a mouse. I wonder how the controls would be like on the PS3? Anyone ever played FFXI could tell me?

[RocsLock]

@momorgoth Yeah check the other videos. I use a gamepad now.

[YesterdaysNewspaper]

@momorgoth Its actually easier to play without the mouse.

Besides, it isnt like last time where the game is a port they specifically made the pc and ps3 versions interact differently reguarding how you play. So theres no awkwardness.

[shadowraf]

the game moves [pretty smooth and you dont have a high price video card that good :) i was worried about that

[RocsLock]

@shadowraf Yeah it runs nice but I imagine with tons of people, my videos may get chopping on release date

[ragnaros100]

The characters looks GREAT but I really hope Squarre enix focused even more on the gameplay because if its just a game with good graphics and bad gameplay Nobody would play it... (Thumbs up if you agree with me?) :D

[RocsLock]

@ragnaros100 ;)

[Jexyss]

@ragnaros100 you mean like FFXIII?

[finalcrest999]

wow still no voiceovers doesnt seem like an aprovement over ff11 except graphics comeon square!

[majia]

@finalcrest999 voice overs might be for cut scenes only, it would take up a lot of space to have a voice over for ever single bit of conversation in the game, but who knows =) square might surprise us.

[sergel02]

@majia that is true. its nice to have them in at least cut scenes, really makes a difference. Plus, this is a beta too.

[firelotus77]

Someone should make a DOL/DOL character and post the intro vid. I plan on starting as fisherman. so any info on what the intro will be like would help.

[RocsLock]

@firelotus77 Hey don't start as a fisherman. Start as anything and buy a rod. Right now, everyone on the forum is saying there is no reason to start as one lol

[firelotus77]

@RocsLock I'm doing it because I like the miqo'te fishing outfit straw hat with kitty ear poking out IS THE CUTEST!!!!

[firelotus77]

how does one start LL as a DOH or DOL? do we fight or does that conjure fight for us?

[RocsLock]

@firelotus77 Good question but I have no idea. Your probably right though.

[1ekaba]

yeah, I am in beta Rocs...ever since I got the email three weeks ago, been trying on and off to DL the installer. Dunno what was going on, but I can't wait to try this now! :-)

[1ekaba]

so of course I get home, try one last time to download the installer and of course NOW it works! LOL...guess I should have made a smart a## comment on here three weeks ago!:-D

[RocsLock]

@1ekaba lol you in beta?

[8bitjunkies]

Full controller support? Yes?

[RocsLock]

@8bitjunkies Yup full controller support. Works better on controller. Check out my newest videos. They are all ps2 controller.

[1ekaba]

this game looks cool... I just wish the download would work so I can actually try it out!

[RocsLock]

@1ekaba lol

[strumster117]

If you ever need a kidney, let me know....your the god damn man! keep it up!!!! btw...do you know if the archer class is a decent DD? =D thanks

[RocsLock]

@strumster117 The melee classes own!

Really, all the classes own! lol

[strumster117]

@RocsLock =D maybe lancer...or gladiator....OMG I CANT WAIT TO PLAY! i just have to buy a new system to be able to play it cuz this laptop will get slaughtered... 2.2 ghz dual core, 4 gigs o ram, and some intel (R) graphics bs....lol, gotta upgrade!!

[Serieth]

Just curious, don't suppose you've seen the AH yet? just wondering if you can see any signs of exploitations yet xP

[RocsLock]

@Serieth Will check it out now.

[illuzi0n1st]

Holy crap this is crazy good, I have to play with my laptop on horrible settings :( I'm jealous, lol.

[RocsLock]

@illuzi0n1st Hehe at least you can play, alot of people can't :P

[illuzi0n1st]

@RocsLock :P Thats true, this just runs so much more smoother/cleaner than mine, lol. Can't wait for PS3 Beta though, i'll be able to enjoy it more ^_^

[wooitschris]

What are you system specs if I can ask? Also, how good was this beta running with your setup?

[RocsLock]

@wooitschris Amd 2 Phenom II 3.0 Quad 260 Geforece gtx 650watt 8gb and it runs perfect

[wooitschris]

@RocsLock Thank you for the reply! :) I was looking for a reference and since your setup runs this really good then I think my new GTX 460 purchase shouldn't have any problems with it :)

[RocsLock]

@wooitschris np your 460 will own this game

[Awolve]

Love the video. Do you think you will be starting in Limsa Lominsa when the full version hits?

[RocsLock]

@Awolve Not too sure, I want to to test the other starting cities. They are all beautiful.

[jordanw1083]

I'm just drolling watching this play right now. I can't wait to get my hands on this game in a while. I'm going to lose my life for a while.....oh well!

[RocsLock]

@jordanw1083 Glad you like it, posting a Combat video now!

[FarmanStarkhorn]

Nice vid :)

[RocsLock]

@FarmanStarkhorn Thanks bud

[marxusdrakkan]

I really like the video, but I'm curious about the lagging. It seems like it stutters alot at odd times. Is this on the server end? Most of the walking around it seems like your computer can handle the graphics just fine. Any chance of crafting/gathering/fishing vids? :)

[RocsLock]

@marxusdrakkan Yup, mainly the lag was coming from my PC Editing Beta Footage on Sony Vegas and Uploading a video to youtube at the same time while trying to fraps :P I will def. do a crafting/gathering/fishing video bud, I'm looking forward to that the most lol

[freakyty420]

just start at the city and just start walking and see how far u can get before dieing and i really really want to see the mog house.

[RocsLock]

@freakyty420 Sure, I will do a video of exploration! :) Great idea!

[DestinationDelta]

can u ride a chocobo in the beta?

[RocsLock]

@DestinationDelta As of right now, I am unsure. I will test on the next beta phase.

[HurricaneGame117]

Always have to bring WoW into the convo huh?

[RocsLock]

@HurricaneGame117 Lol wow wasn't a bad game by any means but I prefer FF

[theweezeandsqueeze]

wooooooooooooooo

[iPewn]

Would you rate it better than WoW? I am not a WoW person at all, I played it for like a month on private servers but then got bored fast as its a game you need two or more people playing with you.. x(

[RocsLock]

@iPewn Hmmm, WoW was fun for me but grew old of it like most MMORPG.

I am very limited on gameplay so I can't say yet but I LOVE the ability to change classes on Final Fantasy, it is GREAT! I do love the game heh.

[iPewn]

@RocsLock yeah being able to change class would be a pretty awesome thing as most mmorpgs don't have that option, it sucks though because did the survey for the beta final fantasy 14 with the code on the psn thing as well and didn't get emailed for it ):

[tminty13]

@iPewn just try it...

[GameGroundz]

Awesome keep um coming!

[RocsLock]

@GameGroundz Will do!
