    Hey I didn't know there was a trial

    Guess I'll play a few days, long enough to hate it at least

    The first test is wrapping your mind around the fact that this game does not use wasd controls. That turns some people away right there.

    I hear this isn't a bad way to go, but I have never used one.

    Thats how I spent the few months that I did playing the game, it was fantastic. If they somehow end up getting the ps3/360 messenger pad addsons to work on the PC I'll be so happy because it would mean not even using the keyboard anymore.

    I don't use it very much but it's pretty slick, fits right into the contour of the controller and is really comfortable to type on.

    Never used one, so I have no idea how well they actually work.

    Switch it over to compact keyboard controls. That's a WASD setup.

    Being left handed, I am not uncomfortable with the controls in the slightest.

    I'm a rightie, and I've loved the FFXI setup since launch

    It's just so easy to use your macros, manipulate the camera, target things, and move around with one hand on the numpad and the other on the numkeys

    Massively seems to think this game might come out in like... September. That would be boss.

    If we are very very lucky the beta might start then.

    Y'know I hope they make a more badass main city than Jeuno some how. I actually see this game having a lot more cities this time around and a bigger game world over all.

    Don't settle for a million good ideas.
    Progress, not perfection.

    It could be argued that Aht Uhrgan is the main city now

    It's not really more badass, though

    You know, I actually remember the environments/atmosphere as being one of the main things I actually liked about FFXI for the short while I played it.

    But watching a few of Bri's LP videos... man, everything is so sparse.

    Even when he went out of his way to show everyone the "Three Mage Gate"... wow, talk about underwhelming.

    I still love a lot of the music, though.

    Filming Kolshushu region now.

    Edit: And if you are talking about the monster density, I think it is pretty much right where it needs to be. It seems dead because I am level 70. If I were level appropriate for the areas I have been showing it would be a much more exciting trip through those zones as I dodged or fought monsters to get past.

    If you weren't 70 it'd also be really hard to film because half the movie would be "okay, I am now running to the zone as frantically as I can"

    Yes, this is true.

    I understand the level 70 thing

    I just seem to remember everything being a lot more immersive or pretty or... I dunno. Although I never got terribly far into the game, so maybe it was just that I was too busy paying attention to whatever monsters I was running past to make sure I was out of aggro range.

    Games with dense mob populations always look retarded. You always see some dire wolf just hanging out with a sheep and a giant snake within like 10 feet of each other.

    Well the game is like 5 years old and you are viewing it on youtube. How vast and impressive can that be?

    Yeah, after playing LOTRO on DX10, FFXI is defintely showing it's age, but a lot is redeemed by the awesome art style and music. It still looks pretty dang great to me.

    I never played FF XI and am on the fence about whether or not to play this one when it comes out, but one thing would make this game a must-buy for me.

    Will I be able to play...

    ...as a moogle?

    FFXI has been around a while. I'm excited for the new one.
    The music and cutscenes were always great. I can't wait to see how they get revamped.
