Is walking enough to constitute a 30 day subscription? and beyond? i think not.

Walking is part of MMO's, if you don't like it then go play a singleplayer game .

It looks amazing, it's too bad we have to wait so long until it is released.

meh all fine and dandy but I only see a char walking around, for me they are trying to sell the graphics, not the gameplay who from when I beta tested changed a lot, at least now the menus looks like a real menu

There are official video's of the new battle system, but it is from older Alpha, this was shown at 14 sep 2012, so things could have change since then. It is work in progress.

They changed the whole TP system, before you had to get TP to do your special moves, now you start with max TP and can start with special moves, that alone will make combat go faster. 

There is a combo system in it and there will be limit breaks.

I didn't read to much about combat yet, since I don't care that much for combat. So I am not sure if the combo system is different then what they now have in FFXIV, or how the limit break works. 

The most important thing I like in combat is what actually was already in FFXIV, and that is that you can combine many different skills with different classes. I love that part. Also that you can change so easily from class to class is great in my opinion, but also not new. It has at least a lot more dept then FFXI, which I also loved a lot. 

I didn't care much about the slow combat in FFXIV, and now that it will be faster, i still don't care that much. I mean I enjoyed UO for 3 years, and combat was just klicking the enemy most of the time, a warrior didn't have any skills (of course they changed that much later, but I was gone by that time)  But for people who do care about such things, I wonder if FFXIV can make it exciting enough for them. 

The whole point of this game is that the previos incarnation was a total flop fest.  It had nice graphics, but that's about it.  The reason I want to play the newer version is for the MMO enhancements, I could not care less what Gardinia looks like.

Why not put out a vidoe that focuses on the actual changes being made......

I can't believe this is alpha. As other posters have stated, the FF titles have always had this special feel to them... I get that from watching this video.

Absolutely, positively, cannot wait.

The music in Old Gridania makes me wet.

I lol at people who were like:

this video is pointless, blah blah blah..give me this and that.

as if XIV can only release one video before they launch their game.

A MMORPG game is based on gameplay and content, u cant see gamplay and content yet and u say already this game will get u bored.

Interesting.

I will wait until release or beta, to test it and decide. And of top of that, with this player screenshots i can say that there is not any MMORPG released with better graphics than this. Thats a point, lets see gameplay and content.

The fact that its an MMORPG makes it auto-boring. This genre is milked out, it doesnt matter if it looks shiny, has some "ground breaking" combat systems, advanced AI, incredible story line, super performance:system ratios or anything like that.

It will still be kill this, kill that, bring this, bring that., talk here and there so you can get your damn exp. Look how many AAA titles have come out over the past few years and none turned out to be what people imagined. I do very poorly explaining shit to people thats why i almost never post here, but new mmos will most likely never be what people expect them to be.

Games that are the most successful now, most players etc.,  are the "pioneer" ones, games that were the first to bring/or brought the best version of a certain mechanic to the table. Everything after them are re-skined versions which ,will most likely, never substitute an old game or atract a new player that has already tasted a similar product with a "different name".

And better yet, the trend of socialising and grouping is gone. Now every players think only about rushing. wants to do everything alone,solo and quick, be the best and rape everyone. This and the sh~t i wrote above is what will make this game end up in the recycle bin for most players that will try to play it.

I am personally bored with the genre.

Just helping out. It's easy to forget that how an individual ses things is not necessarily how everyone sees things. For instance, one jaded burn out does not make a world full of jaded burn outs.

Are you serious? They wanted to show the difference between the old Gridania and the new.

Sure am. we have seen what visual qualities or standards they hope to maintain or exceed in the new iteration. Now show my what systems will keep my interest for 30 day intervals

What should be the real concern is:

1. did they fix they real issues people voiced in v1?
2. can they provide enough "fun" for at least 30 days of play time.
3. can they sustain that fun for longer than 30 days.

Yeah righto, At least i have enough common sense to see that: you can only look at how good the water is for so long before your bored to tears, Usually within the first hour.

This video was to show how the city changed nothing more but they did say they were going to make more video's of alfa and the new live letter from producer is tomorrow.
