That isn't really the dedication they are looking for in their beta testers. I've been ready for this for weeks. You aren't missing out though, the game is more complicated than getting a key, I'm sure you'd have given up by now. P.S. I picked the wrong world... anyone on Istory? | ||

On the bright side, I'm playing on my 360 controller, which makes it feel a little more accessible. It doesn't do anything to alleviate the clunkiness of multi-target combat though. Does anyone know how to set up deadzones for my joysticks? | ||

It's very very deep and a lot more complicated than normal copy-each-other MMO's these days. Once you take the time to understand all the controls and how it plays its really enjoyable. Few pros I love: Graphics are ****ing beautiful. Cutscenes have your custom character in it! Class changes based on weapons, so you can switch and train another class really easy. Combat system where you do more damage if you attack from behind/sides etc, so moving and positioning is actually important. Linkshell (Guildlike) system is pretty nice, same for partying. Some cons: Patching takes forever. Patcher sometimes crashes- but it's Beta so I expect that. ...I actually sat here for about 3 minutes thinking of bad things in the game but came up with nothing more yet. Things I'm iffy about: Limit of 8 Guildleve's every 48 hours. It forces you to grind after the 8 quests and monsters are kind of scarce. I hear theres other types of quests but I haven't run into any yet. (May be disabled for beta, don't want people hitting endgame obviously.) Will have to see more before making a final decision. Note that I've only ventured so far, so I haven't viewed everything. Just my personal opinions on some stuff, and I'm definitely no expert. | ||

-Graphics are nice. Cons : -UI is dreadful to navigate. -Too many cutscenes. I wanna play the game, not go through cutscenes. -Can't walk up the smallest of ledges. -No auto-attack, and pretty long delay in between abilities, making it slow and monotonous. -There was a quest, where I followed a girl around for about 10 minutes, and killed like 5 monsters. That was.. fun. -Couldn't remap my hotkeys (yes, I know that's probably just a beta thing). -Lack of monsters. I guess maybe I'm looking for an MMO that actually has some action in it, since this game was mostly running around from what I did. I spent about 3 hours doing the quests, and I was only level 4 or so. I wanted to go out in the fields to hunt some, and there just seemed to be no monsters to kill, and when I finally saw one, two people came up and killed it before I could get to it. I don't see this game doing too well, especially after what happened with the open beta keys, the "fatigue" thing, and just how clunky this beta feels. Maybe hardcore fans will like it, but it's not going to appeal to a vast majority of what MMO players want. | ||

Story could be nice, but i will never know.[/QUOTE] Pretty much what FF11 was after a while. It was pretty popular before WoW came out but after a while only hardcore fans existed that I doubt even liked the gameplay they were just there for the community. Sounds like this is much the same...a boring MMO experience that is more of a glorified chatroom than anything else. Graphics can't hold a game up for me, there needs to be gameplay. Looks like once again there isn't a diversity of skills (like BLM from FF11, you had like mana bomb or w/e on a 10 minute CD and that was it, this is similar it seems) and the only character progression is through stats...no talents or anything fun and interesting. Here I thought FF14 was gonna have a chance but it seems to be goin the way of Age of Conan, Aion, etc. This means they valued presentation over gameplay which is super dull. Maybe GW2 will be good considering GW1 was a reasonably fun game. | ||
