    It's the mustache that gives me a problem

    No "Bombin' In The A.M." tomorrow. It'll be back on Tuesday though. Apparently Patrick's taking Monday off.

    SHAMELESS EDIT: It only took 3 years, but this is my 500th post!

    I have seen pictures of some of the high end armor sets (I think the Paladin one? if there is a Paladin?) that looked slick.

    And then I realized how many hours go into getting such an armor set and lost all interest again.

    You actually get all the artifact armor as part of your class quests while you level, no grinding involved.

    Is the latest Unpro still not up on the site? Or am I missing something real obvious

    or is the GDC stuff just that for last week

    It was up last night but there were some problems. Audio desync in the in-browser version, and the download version was only an hour long.

    Looks like they took it down to fix it.

    No there was an Unpro too. But it was up super late and now I don't see it again.

    You can tell it is an MMO because there is fire to not stand in.

    Dangit! I guess that fire is just like the edge of the arena then, eh? And those pillar/spike things are things to be attacked and not avoided?

    If my laptop actually ran it, I shudder to think of how deep in the FFXIV hole I would be

    I don't even play MMOs or Final Fantasy games, but something about the way this goes about being an MMO and the Final Fantasy aesthetics hit some sort of sweet spot for me

    Like, I'm super psyched at the possibility of riding a Chocobo, and I don't think I've ever played a game with a chocobo in it (unless KH 1/2 had one)

    Also the music is fantastic

    it's such a shame that the character art looks like it was made for a different, totally unrelated game

    i'm a big nerd so i can divine a lot about whats happening from the screenshot

    thats ifrit HM, its not the story mode version because there are 8 people and its not Extreme because there are 4 fire pillars (nails) and also everyone isn't dead. Thats probably a BLM using their Limit Break to kill the nails before ifrit goes supernova, so they're like half way through the fight. everyone is attacking the nails so they'll probably be able to complete it no problem, its an early-on kind of fight anyways, no biggie

    Yeah, exactly. On both points.

    Though there are eruptions you have to avoid.

    FFXIV doesn't use FFTA's setting, so it doesn't really interest me

    Also Wildstar still looks like a really fun MMO with a FANTASTIC sense of tone and style to me

    They revealed that PvP relies on actually aiming and timing your skills ala a character action game and it looks stupid fun

    Wildstar was a game I was actually really interested in and then every time the devs open their mouths I care less.

    Subscription fee? 40-man raids? Aren't interested in catering to the "casual" player?

    It's like they think they're developing an MMO in the 90s

    Visuals are pretty much at the bottom of the concern pile when it comes to MMOs for me.

    Does your game want me to go collect 12 bear eyes and bring them to do a dude? Then no thanks.

    It's nice and crisp, I like it from a technical standpoint

    I also like how colorful it is

    I'm not a huge fan of the rest of it though, just from a design standpoint

    To each his own, etc
