Whoa, it works with a 360 controller? First time I ever heard such a genre works on PC with a controller.
Final Fantasy 11 was designed as a console game. I'm sure 14 was too.

I still want a damned invite :(

NDA is pretty much shot to hell.

You can read all about it at GAF and BG :D

It's too bad you didn't get to test the game Alimo, there is still 3-4 weeks of testing left I would imagine.

Might be worth sharing your account with someone.

Yep, didn't get an invite, there're quite a few people I know that's in and didn't even continue testing it because the alpha was "boring", you're inviting the wrong guys SE, and stop sending me emails about Kane & lynch!

Supposedly they are giving away a set amount each day, quite a few on GAF were able to get in, had to pay $7 or something to subscribe though.

Open beta is coming soon anyway.

I'm a little disappointed by how gamepad dependent the PC version is. You don't need one, but the game is greatly enhanced by one since there's really no keyboard and mouse interface to speak of. The fact that there are so few hotkeys mapped to the keyboard is sorta sad. I mean, there are even look keys on the right side of the board, and who is going to use those? Having to press enter to scroll through dialog, etc. Meh. Otherwise it's a really neat game, and the graphics and art are fantastic.

I can already tell that it's geared heavily towards a console design though. Not that this is surprising, as it's very much a sequel to Final Fantasy 11. I also think it's a real damn shame that there's not more voice acting in the game. I know this is a common thing in most MMORPG's, but this game just begs for it. The characters are so detailed and there's even lip syncing--with no voice! It would really enhance the atmosphere of the game greatly if the audio production matched the great art direction. The music is sorta nice.

Guild Wars 2 will be my next big online RPG, but I'll keep playing this while I can.

@Jollipop: Have you done much reading on the official forums? I need to find some newbie guides if anyone has done such things in English. The game seems very controller and therefor macro dependent. I'd love to see a list of macro commands and stuff. I guess i just need to do some research.

I haven't played much with the macro system, a couple off the top of my head are.

/equip main "Name of Weapon" for quick switching between jobs.
/equip sub "Name of offhand" (replace main/sub with which ever slot you wish to macro an item into)

/equipaction 1 "name of action" (replace the number with the action slot you wish to assign to, its kind of buggy from my experience at the moment)

I didn't bother with casting magic and spells via the macro system as its easier to use the action bar.

I use a DS3 and have to say you can't beat it, SE are having a hard time adding full mouse controls (not sure if this is just to keep the game fair across the 2 platforms), they have promised open beta will see a better PC control system though.

The open beta version was shown at Gamescom here is a list of the new features.

- Gridania and Ul'dah included, tutorial fight, storyline and guildleves
- You are allowed to Skip the cutscenes pushing ESC -> Skip
- Lancer & Archer Guild are in Gridania
- /sit emote included
- some emotes like /clap are possible to do while in /sit
- Chocobos still NOT working
- Found an Airship dock inside Gridania, but seems not do work either
- Able to mark the mobs like in wow "please kill this one first"
- you can make some bubbles like "I'm low on HP, please cure me"
- Friend and Ignore List included
- LS NPC in Limsa may be moved, didnt find her
- You can still accept Lv.1 and Lv.10 Leves with Rank1

- /sit emote functional
- UI is still the same and still laggy
- All 3 cities (obviously)
- you can /check people
- macro's working

Wait, you can use gamepad on the PC version?
If so, any impressions out there?

Now I have never been into these online RPG stuff except for Aion beta, and it was quite addicting to me lol.
But Guild Wars 2 is where I will start considering it doesnt require any fee to play it other than purchasing the game itself.
I hope they do a beta so I can hopefully get in and try out the gameplay, looks promising.

This is the second time you asked this question, and the like fifth time there has been an answer in this thread. This is designed as a console game, and yes, that means you can use a gamepad.

And even though FF11/14 may be rather streamlined for consoles, it's ironically one of the most unintuitive online games around.

@Jolli: Cool, thanks!

So, I've yet to read any useful information for those who did not get into the beta - outside of the controls are clunky, the graphics are neat.

What about the game play? (don't give me that NDA pussy shit either, you're not in the media, and no one is tracking your every move.)
Someone break it down, because if it's anything like FF13 or 11 for the matter, I don't see this doing well outside of Japan.

I want to know, class structure, game speed, skill speed, battle times, group types, serious problems, differences between FFO, etc, etc, etc. Otherwise, it didn't happen. (:o)

Does not matter. The NDA applies to all testers. We don't pick and choose who has to conform to it here.

It's very, very much like FF11. The open beta starts soon. I'm sure you'll get a chance to check it out then if you're interested.

NDA was removed several weeks ago, there are plenty of videos on youtube and loads of info at www.ffxivcore.com and www.eorzeapedia.com, just need to look for it.

There has been a huge blow up on the offical test forums about the fatigue system, basically each class has 100% XP for 8 hours (a week) and then gets a 10% fatigue every hour, until you eventually end up with 100% fatigue and can no longer gain XP, the fatigue is reset every week.

SE claims this is so that casual players aren't left out, but its actually more to do with them encreasing the time to level to cap as they have no end game.

Physical level will also suffer from the fatigue penalty so even though you can freely switch class and still gain XP the physcial level will halt after 15 hours of play per week.

It's one of the most bizarre systems i have seen in a game and seems more like punsihment for hardcore players than a bonus to casual play, needless to say it will have to be changed as I can't see anyone paying for a game and not being able to play the way they want to.
