I didn't add this in before, but the link the video points to has a few interesting things too: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/117/1179023p1.html?_cmpid=ign1392

Some of the info feels pretty old, but there's a few new things too.

EDIT: After looking through screenshots, it appears that the -X paradigms might be when there's an additional party member serving as a guest. I'd prefer to be able to see their HP/MP, etc., down with everyone else's though.

As for DLC cost, I'm thinking closer to $1-$2 for most of it. There might be some cheaper items though.

Also, a picture of the group riding a Woodwraith (Enki/Enlil). For when Chocobos aren't big enough.

O.O

... after a lazy search (finding nothing) and this being more of a news thread than anything else, it seems. Here, have some news <<;.

... The Final Fantasy, R:2 <<;? orz. I have a sneaking suspicion that subscriptions will kill it more than how bad it was to begin with... did Sony not just see the debacle netflix went through <<;? *sigh* I dont play though, so i'm just talking hot air :/. *shrugs*

They might have been better off just scrapping it... It's a damn shame the game was so bad, since it was absolutely beautiful. Their only option, IMHO, was to go F2P, and hope for the best. I understand the idea behind the subscription fee, since it gives Squeenix a constant stream of revenue. But they already blew that one. It's a shame, since the most fun I've had with an MMO (outside of PSO) was probably my month with FFXI. I thought they nailed it there. People had to be nice, since there was such an emphasis on teamwork. 14 messed everything up. And I don't know why they're rebuilding it, rather than just scrapping the whole idea.

I don't think they should have released 14 to begin with. They should do what WoW does: Expansion pack upon expansion pack. Make the original game better, draw in new players. Making a second MMO just cuts the user base in half, if lucky, and will kill one of the games (or both) if unlucky. XIV was a bad move from the beginning, and they should have never released it. Instead, they should have taken some of those story elements and bind it into a normal RPG. Too late for that now.

I'm going to quote a very insightful comment from one of the users in that link you sent:

Blizzard's making a WOW sequel too... And there were lots of expansions.

If I'm not mistaken, XI is older than WOW. If Blizzard releases another MMO in the next year and a half, they'll have done something similar to Squeenix.

Yes, Ghoul, I know how much you love DLC news, so here's another:

This is the first peek at the art for some DLC. It's only one item, the Angel Bow (or Seraph Bow in some translations). This item IS available in game, just in a different color.

If it's available in game, what's the point of it being DLC? That makes no sense to me

I think you can equip it from the start, instead of waiting until it becomes available. It's a pretty useful weapon.
