    Agreed. Though in that video, all the jobs are in their AF armor (for those who haven't played, AF = artifact.) Basically that's what you'll look like all decked out.

    Dragon's Prophet from SOE went to open beta today.

      Should I be familiar with the FF universe to play FFXIV? I've literally never played a Final Fantasy game, but the prospect of a really good PS3 MMO has me intrigued.

      Is this similar to other big MMOs like WoW? I've spent the majority of my MMO gaming on that.

        You don't really need to be familiar, no. Each FF game is their own unique storyline and universe and really have no ties to each other besides some lore names (monsters, weapons, etc.)

        From what I've seen this game really looks like a mix between FFXI while adding more casual playability of WoW

          Thanks man. I've been itching for an MMO, and this looks like it may fit the bill.

            I really hope it does well. The job that Yoshida has done on saving this game really should be commended and supported. The original game was hot garbage and they put Yoshida on the team and he has completely turned the game around and has got the hype train rolling. I'm officially pumped for this new game

            There are lots of videos out there showing off the new game that give a good idea of the general direction of the game that I have probably watched a hundred times each. I'd be glad to dig them up if you're interested in seeing them and wasting a few hours, if so just msg me

              Just got an email saying that since I owned the original FFXIV I will be able to download the new version for free on 8/27. I didn't know SE was doing this but will gladly take it.

                Actually, if you really wanted to... You can download phase 3 beta, seeing as how you owned the original.

                  Certainly feels that way.

                  I might just do that. Probably will wait until Phase 4 so that progress doesn't get wiped.

                    Yeah.

                    Worst case is you play in beta, find out you don't like the game and save yourself the hassle of MMO release day drama.

                      I am thinking of skipping out on P3 as well. I also don't think I will upgrade because early access just isn't that important to me either.

                          ^^ SE knows how to do a trailer properly.

                          CAN'T WAIT. Also, Phase 3 this weekend.

                              I know it's a ways out, but I'm pretty excited for Elder Scrolls Online. Love the ES lore, and it seems a fitting universe for an MMO.

                                I believe the release date so far is spring 2014, but I am interested. It Is going to be released on next gen consoles so that'll be interesting as normally I'm not a fan of MMOs on consoles but it could work with the Elder scrolls stuff.
