Final Fantasy 14 Beta

Signed up for their beta today. Excited to try it out. I’m about concluding my World of Warcraft days, so a new world would be welcomed. I’ve always loved Final Fantasy games, however Final Fantasy 11 didn’t stick with me. Maybe it was because I was so attached to raiding in World Of Warcraft.

The classes make the game look very non genetic. Which is a breath of fresh air after dropping World of Warcraft. Since WoW has come to a point where all classes look/feel the same.

I told my brother that one of the biggest thing I was looking for was having class uniqueness and community. I was remembering my days of playing Ultima Online as a craftman. Sitting amongst the community crowds and fixing their armor. People greeted eachother and discussed things while we repaired their goods. It was a feeling of companions and a circle of production where one person relied on another for a goal and a great experience.

I’m going to be looking into the classes more as days go by. It’s definitely something I’m really interested in how Square handles it.
