I expect it won't be too similar except for the characters.
I'm definitely gonna use the Lalafell Dunesfolk and name him "TurtleTobb"
I got a 591 on the benchmark..
Just found out why people keep getting bad benchmark scores. If you have anything but an NVidia, the score is significantly lower than what it would be if you had an NVidia equivalent to your card. (I.E. Your score will be low if you have an ATI 5970, but will be high if you have an NVidia 480) This is because Square Enix has some sort of deal going on with NVidia.

I have an i7 @ 4ghz 6gb ram ati 5870 HD and I scored 6800 on the high setting.
Does anyone know how much this will be monthly? Final Fantasy 11 was almost $15 a month if I recall correctly. $12 monthly fee + $1 for a character ID
looks bad ass
[QUOTE=slayer20;23223645]Does anyone know how much this will be monthly? Final Fantasy 11 was almost $15 a month if I recall correctly. $12 monthly fee + $1 for a character ID[/QUOTE] $12.99/month, additional characters are $3.99 each, and each additional retainer will cost $1 per period.

Are you positive it's $3.99 for every character? That's more than what FF11 was...
That's what it says on the site, you have to pay 3.99 if you want more than one character.
Good thing I only want one character :v:
Did anyone get into the beta? I really wanted to get in :( Apparently it starts tomorrow.
Downloading the beta right now. This is taking for-fucking-ever.
Be sure to tell us how it goes!
I have the beta, but i have to wait 18-22h to play. I'm gonna set up a Livestream :)
I know I have already suggested this, but lets all form a facepunch clan/guild/linkshell after this is released.
Pre-ordered my collector's edition on amazon.co.uk cause every store in the Netherlands is like "FINAL FANTASY 14? HUH?"
Should have begun now.
It's Online, you can watch my livesteam here : [url]http://www.livestream.com/orygin[/url]
Beta is pretty fun, but as it's my mum's account not mine, she's decided to log back into FFXI instead. Blargh. I enjoyed being followed around by a load of sheep. Then being one-shotted when I got bored.
Interesting. I find it weird how much they want you to keep your hands on the keyboard, as opposed to using the mouse too.
So how goes it? I'm a little late with OrYgin's livestream since it's offline, but is it fun so far?
The game was clearly originally designed for console, when you move your view around it not just moving as much as your mouse, but start to spin around your character. There's a lot of mouse smoothing, making the Gui a pain in the ass to use. And overall the Gui has a lack of ergonomic, to open a listing menu, you have to click on the arrow, you can't click on the list .... You are dropped in the game without having any clue on what you have to do or what you can do. There's a very quick tutorial on how to lunch a rock on a jellyfish or something (doing 1 Dmg, when your instructor come and do 953 Dmg ...) Later on, my first quest : It took me 1 hour to wonder where I have to go exactly. After that, you stay there trying every key on your keyboard to activate the crystal, just before you quit the game, you find the "Activate" option in the pause menu ..... WTF ? The graphics are good, but it freeze a lot when you move around, because it needs to load the new areas to often, so it's kind of unplayable. Here's my specs, I play with minimal shadows, and no Ambiant Occlusion or AA : Quad Core Q6600 @ 3ghz (oc) Sapphire 4850 512Mb 6gb of DDR2 800 mhz ram. (I play with at least 4 gig free, so WHY does the game unload every content when I run 5m away from it ?)
Well it's a beta so hopefully they'll fix some of these issues. The mouse thing sounds like it's a big pain in the butt.
Awesome, just got an invite to the Beta, it says it doesn't start until July 13th though. I'm guessing it's a different date for the European servers?
Let us know how it is then Docc :)
I also got myself invited just a few minutes ago.
Shit you guys are so luckkkkkkkkkkkkkky.

I got invited today but I can't login to the site yet, can't wait to test it out though.
