The crafting seems similar in style to EQ2 but with a third element thrown in (eq2 you balanced progress and durability with skills to make an item). Also seems like there are sub combines. EQ2 had this as well (a lot of them at first) but removed a lot of the sub combines to make crafting more accessible.
Harvesting seems like a simplified version of probing in EVE (keep repositioning as you get closer to the mark). That will also be interesting. It seemed the gather skill (last video) has no interaction though. Wonder if it’s just missing or that will be how it is.
I'm looking forward to giving this a shot! The game is looking beautiful.

Each gathering class has a primary tool and a secondary tool. The harvesting activity in the last vid was done with the secondary tool, so there is no minigame. The primary tool used for logging however has a minigame. That's how it is for both Miner and Botanist so far. Both activities yield different results.
Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".
Looks okay but perhaps they could add a few extra like the Vanguard system, meaning you actually have crafting and gathering/quests and gear like clothing with gathering stats and aprons. Crafting is also a levelling system which takes as long as levelling in adventuring.
Here is a small tip bit of Vanguards crafting but look at the cloths you wear once you start crafting.

It already works like that.

Really! that's great, makes me want to jump right into the game, can't wait for release. My only worry is the keyboard situation. I tried the first one with a joystick but i didn't like the way it was set up. I have since looked around for something that gives me the best of both worlds.

Is their a good chance they will set the game up so you can use a keyboard and mouse set up like other mmorpg as well as their normal set up?
I thought not. But it seems they are making "significant changes" to mouse controls next week, so now I dunno anymore!
Man, that would really put the icing on the cake for me and a lot of other mmorpg players who like the game but just can't stand the control system, would be great news indeed.
I hope they add changes as you progress. Doing the exact same mini-game over and over would likely get boring after awhile. I thought you were supposed to have class abilities you could activate while crafting/gathering?

Active crafting rules.
wow looks like i found a new addiction lol
Wow, crafting is now interactive. Way past cool. :>
I already love this game.
That definitely looks great. Can't wait for September to come
Lol cant wait to be a pro miner kinda reminds me of sonar
Lots of detail on gathering. Not sure I quite understood the relationshp of the aim versus the swing tho.
Say hello, To the things you've left behind. They are more a part of your life now that you can't touch them.

Ahh, gotcha. Thank you for the clarification.
Excellent, can't wait!

By the way, the graphics in FF XIV look great, can't wait to give the game a try.
It already works like that.
Compared to the WoW crafting XIV's is deep and intense, it is awesome non-combat mmo gameplay.I may roll a crafter just cause Ive never had to, it looks way fun.

Do you think this will work okay..

That looks funny, lol.
I'm a firm believer of dualshock + keyboard combo, but considering the control scheme is still being tweaked I wouldn't buy anything just yet.
September can't come fast enough...

The updates for Beta 3 says they have a new mouse control system to put in

I hope they add mouse controls, to handicap a pc owner because the PS3 controller is handicapped is sad.
A Galka/Roegadyn cross stitching FTW!
My theme song.
