I wouldn't have made this topic if I wouldn't have received the closed beta.

This game is basically a remake of the failed MMO that was launched on the PC a few years ago.




Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that invites players to explore the realm of Eorzea with friends from around the world. The PlayStation 3 release is an updated version of the PC game, Final Fantasy XIV, which was originally released in 2010. In it, classic Final Fantasy type themes and environments are merged with MMORPG play mechanics as you form a party and adventure with a multitude of players from across the globe. Forge friendships, mount chocobos, and board airships as you and your companions create your own unique stories in Eorzea. Set out alone or enlist the aid of friends as you undertake epic quests, battle familiar Final Fantasy monsters, and acquire unique abilities and equipment. All the classic elements from the series that you have come to know and love are waiting. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime to help reforge the fate of Eorzea.

Character Customization:

When you first launch the game you are forced to make your own personal character. when making your character you have 5 races to choose from. Hyur, Elezan, Lalafell, Miqo'te, and Roegandyn for this I will be choose a Miq'te, they appear to be some sort of human/cat hybrid(They are human's with a tail and ears) After choosing your race and gender you are asked to choose a clan of some sort or faction. You're character's look changes depending on this. You only get to choose between two factions and they are unique for each race. I will be choosing the "Keepers of the Moon" over the "Seekers of the Sun". After choosing your faction/clan, you are given the option to further customize your character through various options including height, skin color, hairstyle and shape and many others. The Miqo'te's are given the option to chage their tail shape and size.

Classes:

You get to choose from one of seven classes. Either the Gladiator, pugilist, marauder, lancer, archer, conjurer or the thaumaturge.

So, is it still awful?

I have no idea yet. The servers are under maintenance. Even if they weren't I still have to download the 12GB of the game.

f*** you man, you lucky bum

i mean except for the 12 gig thing but I could do that in a few hours with my connection

Me to, I'm just busy on Disgaea to want to download it right now. You could've gotten to if you signed up and s***. I honestly didnt think I would get it though.

I updated the first post.. By the way.. You get 40 character slots xD

that sounds like it's really fun ; _ ;

40 character slots??
dayum i don't think that's necessary unless you have family who use your profile

It's an alright game so far. The opening tutorials were unbearable but once you get through the baby portions it's actually kind of fun. apparently you can change your class in the middle of the game once you learn the first skill in it's tree or something. For now I have no idea how it works. But my character actually needs to be a goldsmith to use one of the skills he started with -_-
