    Thanks for giving us that information. Wish the pages were not cut in half though. Regardless, I was able to see enough for the most part.

    I like the part where characters can lip sync when you talk to someone else. That will definitely add to immersion/ cater to RPers as well. I can't wait to play beta! Of course it's scheduled for days I have to work. Figures. :(

    All I gotta do now is download that new benchmark and toy around with the character customization.

    Thank you again for posting these bits of information. It's very much appreciated!

    Bartoni's Law definition: As an Internet discussion grows volatile, the probability of a comparison involving Donald Trump approaches 1.

    only very basic (attack ranging etc) arena style PVP testing (Wolves' Den) in Phase 4 AFAIK and for LV30+. the more "open world" PVP will be patched in a few versions after launch.

    Obviously has never played a final fantasy title.  I can assure you that OWpvp while it is coming a bit later than I would like, is not what makes a good final fantasy mmo.

    open world PVP is called "frontlines" and coming in patch 2.2 or 2.3 , the release of ARR is patch 2.0.  FFXIV devs have static patching dates each 2 months ie expect frontlines in DEC or FEB'14.

    for the release coming next week, there will be arena PVP with 4v4 and 8v8 matches , you get PVP points that you buy gear and skills with. so in a sense, if you do  not start with arena, you will have big disadvantage once frontline comes and your gear is PVE.

    Characters will now lip sync when players chat in the log window. That is so cool.

    Wow. Just got done reading all that. Very impressed, they have been making good strives for B4/OB. I hope they keep up the good work. Very much looking forward to playing B4 as well and eventually release.

    Edit: Forgot to mention. Really loved the addition of the Gamepad button configuration. It looks like it is pretty straight forward and clean from the screen shot.

    I thought the same thing. I've never seen an mmo with a /visor emote before. Really cool feature.

    they have been doing amazing job since yoshi took over from Version 1.0 , almost 2 years now with him in the pilot control and nothing but positives. we are kinda spoiled since this will backfire big time if he make a mistake, for example in Aion we expect fail company and fail dev team and we always laugh so if they make a mistake we are not suprised.

     

    but here in FFXIV, I think any mistake will cause massive QQ as you can notice from beta forum :P
