Here's a look at FFXIV: A Realm Reborn.

For those of you worried about that robotic neck from the Miq'ote. Yoshi-P has mentioned they're still working on a bunch of physics including the neck, and much other areas will be improved over time as well.

Any news on the PS3 version yet?

Mid-October is when PS3 info will start. They plan to release screenshots and a video of it in motion. I will probably post that when it appears. We do know that the MSRP is $39.99 though.

I signed up for the Alpha about a week ago. It's supposed to start roughly Nov.11th

I like this game - it's one of the only modern Final Fantasies that really reminds me of my idea of Final Fantasy
Moutains, Red Mages riding Chocobos, Armors, Main theme, medieval, old wizards, "follow the light of the Crystal".
Really feels like a modern FF to me, online or not.

This and DQ X looks good... but what is a mechanical neck? I didn't see it in the trailer, whatever it is.

It's at 0:34. It looks really strange, but like Yoshi-P said. There is still quite a bit of work to be done on the physics, hair, and movement.

Lol, haven't noticed before, but it is funny... Exorcist funny.

Hope they don't fix it :P

It's a good thing you posted this video instead of the one people were complaining due to the video encoding, Wagram.

I'll give a bit of news as well.

Yoshi-P also stated that there will be several benchmarks before the release of the game, and there will be a character customization benchmark, too. He said with the character customization one, it may be possible to transfer your creation to the game itself for making a character, but he's still working on that.

Yeah I knew about the first ones encoding error which is why I waited.
