Wow, its like a different of day and night!

Thanks for the effort. ^^

Holy Trinity who art in our MMORPGs! Blessed be thy speccs, as in WOW so in all MMOs!

Our daily loot grant us, and forgive us our noobness, as we forgive the noobs! And do not lead us to disconnects,

But deliver us from mediocrity, For thine is the specialization and the teamwork and the endgame, Until cancellation,

Amen!

In a way I'm going to miss The Black Shroud, reminded me of sections of the Yuhtunga Jungle in XI. But I'll be over it once I run around in the new one :)

Retail looks better :(

I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.

I already love this game.

Does anyone know if the cheap FF XIV keys that float around on i.e. Ebay still work? I read somewhere that SE planned to not  accept them anymore somewhen closer to ARR.

happy to see these forests looks more like open world areas than the stupid labyrinthic corridors they were before, also, kudos for adding the ability to jump, maybe i'll resub and try it again for a month or two.

Will it be possible to change the UI in game to look like the older version? Less clutter is better in my opinion.

Thanks again Darkness.

Great vids.  But I have to wonder if graphics were a major issue for FF XIV.  Most complaints I heard were about clunky gameplay.

It was, graphics were great but to great alot of people didn't have a good enough PC on top of that the maps were very copy pasta so they redesigned all the maps.
