Hello everyone!
Today we're doing a very diferent video from what i used to do
I'll try to give you my thoughts on Final Fantasy XIV, the third Beta
But i'll only be able to show you Photo, because Gameplay are still under the "Non Disclosure Agreements"
Before starting this video, i'd like to say that just on beta 3
I leveled a few character to level 20~, and i finished the storyline with all quest from the 3 Starting city
I'll cut this video in a few categories, But it's just thoughts and not a review
If you like this video, i'll propose you a reviews after the release in August
We're going to start with the Graphics
One of the question everyone's asking, does the game has better graphics than the first version ?
It's dificult to answer because there's lot of artistic difference
It's true that the game has some texture on the floor that might not be as good quality as in the first version
Or that the animation from Character are faster, and maybe less smoth
But it doesn't mean the the game's graphics are less good
For start, the number of Object showed on the screen is far superior to the first version
The game a lot of Light effect and shadow, has more diferent kind of area
has lot of more character, model or diferent texture
The game also need more power to run than the first version
But it's still need less power if we reduce the graphics level
I was able to try the game with a not too powerfull setup
On a Laptot with a 2nd Generation Core I5 at 2.9 Ghz and a GeForce GT540m
And the game was running perfecting with more than correct graphics at 720p
I wont be able to tell you about the PS3 version though
Unfortunatly, I don't have a code for the PS3 Beta and it's impossible for me to try the game
One thing really interesting to know is that it'll be also release on PS4 and i think there
It'll run like on a very good Computer
An update to Direct X11 was also announced and in a year, the game's graphics should be even higher
Now i'm going to talk about the Gameplay, comparing it to the V1 but also to other MMORPG
One of the thing to know, and you probably noticed it by watching my first part on the graphics
The game was really totally remade, and it's not using the same engine anymore
The servers are also closer to us, and we have much less lag than in the first version
The gameplay is really smooth, There's lot of diferent ability but not too many of them
The user interface was totallyu remade, boss available in the beta are really intersting
One that remind surprised me was a slime in a Mine, where you had to destroy him with a Bombo
and it'll get cut in half
I wont get too much in detail, that'll be for the reviews video if you like this one
If i should describe the gameplay of FInal Fantasy XIV really fast
It's not really inovating, but everything it does and take from other MMORPG
It's really doing it perfectly
I wont speak too much about the music, because i wasn't able to hear all the song from the game
But already in the first version, it was a good point of the game
They're really good, and there's more than 1 theme in each city
The music from the area aren't here always so we have time before we get bored of them
I wont speak too much about the music, but so far it's very good
The storyline of the game, one of the big point of the game for me
If you played final fantasy XI, you know that the storyline was a very good point of the game
Because it was varied mission, interesting story
And in Final Fantasy XIV, they really did it well
The quest of the storyline are called the Meteor Quest, and they'll send you to diferent place to level
So you never get lost. And you'll find quest at these place, even if they're not the most interesting quest in the world
You'll be able to learn more about the game Background
So my final thoughts about the Beta 3, the game is really good
It's the game we were waiting 3 years ago, and it's here now
I can't tell you it'll really work, for many reason like the MMO Market that seems to be full
Or the MMO Free2Play that's really working at the moment
But what i can tell you is the game is really good, and i think i'll enjoy a lot playing it
I hope you liked this video, i'm really happy to propose you something on Final Fantasy XIV, i wasn't able to after the end of the V1
I hope you also liked the way this video was made, i'll do other one if you liked it
