The NDA has been lifted for a while now... feel free to talk post videos etc

If you played FFXI you will like FFXIV.

If WoW was your first baby mmo ... then you more than likely will not like FFXIV.    This game is built for the Console first Pc second.   BUT Zamian  PC is coming out first... Well yah... PC version is the beta and tweak for the Highly coveted Japanese console market... Japanese company  many japanese console players hmmm...  :D

IF you played original FFXI you would understand this.

You are able to solo better in FFXIV than FFXI  the crafting and harvesting are a lil better with mini games.  there is alot of information already posted around the web about the game.. Can start at ffxivcore.com etc  or just google  :D

You wont be testing anything.  You like many thousands of others will just log in to stress their servers.

Just for reference my specs : Amd 64 300+ (1.8ghz) , 1 gig ram, ati X700 250gb ram.

Well your system is really outdated.  X700  that card came out in the Summer of 2004 its a bit dated. Im guessing your memoery is a lil outdated as well.

This game does require alot on a computer system.. As we progress into more of the gaming future it is inevitable to upgrade a four year old system.  Unless it is a top of the line from four years ago.. by looking at your specs I would say it wasnt.

WIth that said I am surprised you got that good of frame rates.

Intel celeron 1.75ghz Ati X1300 and 2 gigs of Corsair xms pc400   the game on highest performance was getting 18-20 fps in open and unplayable in the huge cities with frame rates from 0.5-5 fps

If you want to play the big games of today you have to get a Computer system to play them.  Not saying you have to have a behemoth  godly gaming system. But surely cant expect too much from a 4+ year old computer.
