Are you sure? I got the key from their trial system yesterday. I DID have to get it resent though as the original key got caught up in my spam filters.

yeah im sure i will have to try again tomorrow hopefully it has something to do with their updating of the linkshell on the site where they perhaps had to take down trial sign ups for the day until their done with updating

Yes, I am that shallow.

oh and the even when you do move, the animation is so bad it looks like your floating because you take about 10 strides for every step.

Its like a very bad amiga game, even if you get a copy for free you dont even bother to format the disc and copy over it, you just throw it in the bin and wonder why any human exists that even bothers.  maybe they have some kind of mental block?

Just because your PC really sucks and can't run a 7 yr old MMO, doesn't mean it don't work.  The animations here are one of a kind and very fluid.  Oh and you can make this a WASD game if you give it more than 20sec, which you clearly didn't!

My guild and I are starting up on the Ifrit server, so if you want some guys to group with at the lower levels, give a shout out to Musco, Veteris, or Ocsum. This is for anyone reading this thread/to the op :) Most of us are just starting out.

Don't you love it when people just own themselves pretty much in the first few words?

You really should have said something before uninstalling so quickly.
 

First of all, I've never played the game with anything other than a gamepad. I mean, the game was originally designed with a PS2 controller in mind so naturally it's going to  be the choice control scheme when playing the game, even on a computer.

Secondly, about the animation being bad, I'm going to guess that you didn't try changing any of the settings on the "FFXI config" tool? The default graphic settings are set to the lowest resolution and admittedly look really terrible. I'd say that's probably why the movement looks so bad. Once you change the graphics settings it's like a whole other game.

Anyway, I don't even know why I bothered giving you any suggestions. Considering your last comment, you seem to have some predetermined bias against the game. If that's the case, using a term like "mental block" seems like an ironic and hypocritical statement.

You must not have explored the configuration, I found WASD... Did you set your resolution before logging into the game? Did you play more than an hour, more than a level or two?

I just restarted this game yesterday and it doesn't come across as ugly as you are making it.

Gonna restart tomorrow fresh just to do something for a while until XIV hits next year (hopefully) So heres to a new start and cya in game.
