Final Fantasy XIV Online Screenshots (PS3)

Final Fantasy XIV Online Screens - This fantasy is looking epic.

Myst5245d ago

Still waiting for that beta :p

Anyway images look awesome, and I've been itching to try this game out. I'm still not to sure about the no leveling and all dealing with weaponry and other factors getting more "attributes" (since leveling wouldn't be the right word).

Though I'm glad they finally listened to people back in XI who wanted more character customization.

Prototype5244d ago

Ranger/Ninja in 14 :D That's all I'm gonna care about

Then Blue mage
Then Black Mage
Then Monk
Then Ninja
Then Red Mage

Aww f- it, just Ranger/Ninja for me this time around, 3 years at 6 75 jobs does drain a persons soul

Reibooi5244d ago

@Prototype

Those jobs pretty much don't exist in FFXIV While most of them anyway.

Ranger is now called Aracher
Monk is now called Pugilist
Black Mage it seems is now Thurmaturge however they really haven't said exactly what that is yet so it could be any of the other mage jobs
Red mage see above as they could all be the same job
Thief I have yet to see a equal
Same goes for Ninja.
Same goes for Blue Mage

Overall at least from what has been shown so far the Job system in XIV is really lacking compared to XI

Blasphemy5244d ago

Dang you must have been really hardcore to get that many jobs at 75 so fast. I only got two to 75 after two years. I loved FF XI so much so I can't wait for XIV.

ChozenWoan5244d ago

Being able to play a MMO that looks that good is worth a PSN Premium account.

Pain5244d ago

Since thats the first job im doing...

i learned my lesson from XI.

ThanatosDMC5244d ago

I'm most interested about the card game than anything. If it's anything or better than Triple Triad... im in!

Looking good. PS3 needs a MMORPG.

tdrules5245d ago

id be interested to see how it copes with the macros, targeting, using spells etc etc

Myst5245d ago

If it's anything similar to XI, then it shouldn't be so hard. If I remember correctly the trigger buttons or perhaps it was the L1 and R1 buttons, opened up Macro 1 or 2. While using Analog 1 or 2 to navigate between the 10 slots ( at least I think it was 10 )

Targeting was easy as well since it auto-targets when battle starts ( again if it hasn't changed to much from XI ) if it has then it should be as simple as pushing L3 or R3.

Using spells would be the same way, since the command menu should probably show when starting battle and simply having to navigate to the command. Since I don't believe XIV will be a drastic battle change from XI.

Again all this could be wrong since it's speculation on my part, but either way playing XI on both PS2 and PC was fun. I just hope they have windowed mode for PC at the start this time instead of us having to use a work around :p

Pennywise5245d ago

I hope SE is smart enough to utilize the KB/M for this game. Its not like a shooter that would make it wah wah wah "unfair".

Reibooi5244d ago

When asked about whole controller/mouse and keyboard/macro system in a interview SE said

The Macro system is similar to the system used in Final Fantasy XI and the game is being built around use of the controller. However more focus will also be put into a mouse and keyboard combination.

Basically the game is gonna control almost the exact same way as XI for PS3 users. However PC users can either use a controller or Mouse and KB as it will no longer be as cumbersome as it was in XI.

To be honest I found it nearly impossible to play XI with Mouse and KB. Using macros was nice and easy but unless you played the game in first person getting around was nearly impossible.

This will be the first MMO released for consoles this generation so I can't wait for this one. It brings back my FF XI memories.

red2tango5244d ago

Uncharted Waters Online is the first MMO...

The gaming GOD5244d ago

I think the ported version of FF11 to the 360 would be the first. Remember in the early days 360 got ports of that and Phantasy Star Universe. But if ports don't count, then yeah Uncharted Waters is it

Name Last Name5244d ago

Uncharted Waters??!! uum uh... (rushes off to google)

creeping judas5245d ago

I did get an invite to try and get into the beta. the key word is try to get in, it was kinda of like applying for a job.

Hope it works out for me!!!

Blackcanary5244d ago

into the beta i hope i get picked. I was playing FF11 for 4 years none stop.

I just hope they bring the Smn job into it a lot faster this time round wanna see what carbuncle gonna look like and Shiva.

Caffo015244d ago

Xbox Profanity Filter Is Ruining the FFXIV Chat

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.

Snookies1244d ago

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake43d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

RedDevils42d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12543d ago

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

43d ago
TheGamingHounds42d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon42d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia43d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

shinoff218343d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA43d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA43d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6943d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA43d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6943d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
