Final Fantasy XIV Videos: Beta Miqo'te Character Creation Video (7:25)

Two intrepid spies infiltrated the Square Enix offices in search of top secret information on the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV beta test, which is set to begin sometime this Summer. What they found was the beta's character creation interface, where they then proceeded to explore the customization options on offer for the cat-like Miqo'te race.

More eye-candy I guess, but still no content it seems and probably just a lot more asian level grinding.

I wasn't expecting any crazy character customization (partially because they said there wasn't going to be), but I am VERY impressed with the interface and layout of the character creation screen. It looks REALLY different from most games and a lot more...I don't know how to work it...intuitive? I like all the moving around. Although some gameplay would be nice.

I like the customizations. Those attributes with guardians look like they are going to be very intensive. Pick the wrong guardian might set you back with your other attributes but we will see.  Can't wait for release :)

Side note: If it's "two intrepid spies", who's holding the camera filming it? Author missed that obvious one.

the guy in the video doesn't need to be there... he's just annoying everything she does and asking how many options there are for each part of customization.. oh and the vertical hold effect is just annoying while i'm trying to watch video...

I don't care too much about character creation, but what I do care about is game play, progression, and how your character changes and or becomes unique over time ( armor, weapons...and so on).

The character creation looks pretty great. But the whole premise of this video with the spies was way too cheesy, and the guy speaking english was soooo annoying. lol

Loving the look of the character creation interface, and definitely going to have fun customizing my character what with the options they give now.

Also have to -roll eyes- at the people responding to the video with either the same old, canned responses or criticizing everything but what the video is actually intended to demonstrate. Sad, sad people.

Type 1,2,3,4 so much customization!

Bleack. Asian games don't care about customization and many of them barely give options. Only a few exceptions that expect to sell to western markets bother.

 

That system looks like every other standard thing. 4 hairstyle, face, voice options and handful of colors. Ooo ahh.

Show us some combat/world interaction and then I'll get excited.

Point 1:  The guy is LITERALLY translating what she is saying.  He's sometimes off but those of us who speak japanese realized this.

Point 2: Yes there are "4 types" but what if each type has their own hair, eyes, features, etc customization?  Its a TEASER

Point 3: Being in the alpha currently the customization showed in the 'beta teaser' is leaps and bounds ahead of what we currently have AND ITS NOT ALL OF IT.

summary: read, be education, be peaceful, peace out

Final Fantasy Fails. FFF? Never understood why so many people love FF franchise. Whenever I hear the words "cat-like race" I know it's time to drop the game and back away very slowly.

Okay 1, whoever said "Aion looks great"  WTF are you doing here.

2 Whoever said "Way to keep up with current MMO's SoE" Go shoot yourself.  This is Square Enix not SoE.

3. Whoever said "oh wow, 4 faces 4 hair styles... same as everywhere else"  YOU obviously WEREN'T paying attention.

 

Lack of customization?  No from what I saw is you choose a race then a sub race then a character build then from there you cutsomize even further.  Now they didn't go into teh other sub-race or the other character builds.  So who's to say the "4 faces" and "4 hairstyles" on those aren't completely different from the other builds/subrace?

 

And honestly it was about 6 or 7 hairstyles which is a very big improvement from FFXI

 

Pretty sure you guys are just morons.

@haven2035

Oh boo hoo. Go play APB, CoX, CO, EQ2 or even Aion and look at their character creators.

It makes this look like crap. It doesn't matter how much its "leaps and bounds above FFXI" when its leaps and bounds behind many other customizable creators. Especially since it has lack of sliders and everything is preset.

Models are looking good though. Now if only the control scheme doesn't suck like FFXI

@Xersues  lol! Yeah and how popular those games are.  Sorry but the majority of the games you just listed either run like crap, ARE crap or were a huge disappointment.

 

EQ2? seriously?  ROFLMAO

The character customization looks good to me. I don't need sliders to feel like a free bird. However, I really don't like the way the English speaker talks about the features because he sounded too creepy even for fan-boy standards.

to those who complain about it only having 8 hairstyles, please tell me a game that has much more than that? I know none of the bigger name games have more than 10 or so, sure they might not be listed like in wow and just some arrows, but if you count each unique one you barely have more than 10 per race/gender, and considering FFXI has race/gender/clan, how are you going to say it has less, since maybe the sun and moon kitties have different hairs, and in eq2 they are just named fancily, but its still not many more than 10 or so.

Not only is it way more customization than FFXI, but I don't think most people get the point here. Westerners(particularly Americans like myself) always have to stand out aesthetically. The difference is that in Japan, they worry more about your actions, abilities, and accomplishments. Japanese players care less about the mole on their face, and more about their crafting levels, rare drops, and fishing skill. I'm with them.

 

You guys want more customization? Play Second life, and thanks for stopping by.
