Are these system specs good enough to run the game at full settings? The videos I've seen make this game out to be quite pretty graphically and these specs seem pretty weak. Heard from a friend that they coding was really great and it runs well on weaker systems but I wanted to hear from the masses. Recently had a total computer meltdown, not looking to spend outrageous amounts on rebuilding and i'm aiming for a target.

So... how's the game run?

Here come some system specs, but only to answer your question.

Intel i7 940 overclocked to 4GHz

6GB DDR3 Corsair Dominator ram

Ati Radeon 6970 2GB GDDR5 GPU overclocked

Asus P6T mobo

Running off a solid state drive with 300mb read/write and 0.1s seek

 

I have it set to max with shadow mapping set to 1 instead of 2 (which is max) and a few sliders not completely maxed out, and I get on average about 35FPS. Consider this: I get 60 FPS in Final Fantasy XIV with absolute max settings. I think they just coded it strangely or something, but if you want to play it on max sliders, you won't be able to with that system.
