Forums - PC - Final Fantasy XIV Online alpha system requirements

MonstaMack on 22 March 2010

The graphics card might be old/cheaper now but that's still pretty beefy when you compare it to other MMORPG requirements, especially wow.

I only got a 8600GT and I can run Modern Warfare 2, the new stalker and batman AA without much issues. In general this is why I stick with console gaming, and the only reason I even put in a new graphics card is because of Blizzard.



It's just that simple.

Recently purchased a new gaming rig (wanting to max out StarCraft 2 on release), so I should be good to go. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

If the game is so unbelievably bloated as to require a system like this on the PC, then how will the HD consoles handle it at all?

The PS3!   Not the consoles*g*

You know...The Consoles can focus on the game and dont have to run some other things in the background.
Windows and such stuff is leeching


Also they said last week the Alpha and Beta Version of FF14 will need more power than the Final Version.
Of course we dont know yet what is needed for Maximum Settings and this game looks damn awesome.
But i think it will be playable with PCs that are little bit older(2-3 years from today)


They just need to Program it well and it will run smooth.
But if they do it like ActivisionBlizz with WoW than we will be screwed...This game needs too much power because it is programmed like shit.
If they would fix it you could play probably on Ultra with PCs that are 25-40% weaker

But for the people with low budget there is still the PS3 Version and i think this will look like the PC Version on High Settings at the end.

PS3, not "consoles"? That's what they said about FFXIII, and about FFXI before it. It'll be PS3-first, but I give it a year and a half, tops, before a 360 version is announced.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

You guys have to remember that this is the Alpha build. Not even 30-40% of the game is even done yet. So i'm sure your going to need something higher when they are done.

I couldnt see them increasing much more than a 9600GT or 8800GTX.
