Final Fantasy XIV: New Game Aspects Revealed
Aug 5th
FFXIV Core has updated its ever growing and rather extensive list of features revealed for the upcoming Square Enix MMO, garnered primarily through the translation of a Japanese gaming magazine. The most recent update to the site includes information on the armory system, areas, battles, the guild system, and other key features.
Also on the site though, is information on jobs, races, and other info. Here are a few examples:
- Did you know that four job categories will be available? Warrior, Magus, Crafter and gatherer
- Did you know that FFXIV races will matter less statistically than they did in FFXI?
- Combat takes place in real time and is meant to be more strategic than in a typical MMO?
- Character level and skills won’t mean as much as equipment level
- One day in the game would will equal about an hour in real time.
- Changing weapons will allow players to effectively change their jobs on the fly

Final Fantasy XIV: Famitsu Interview: No Experience, Levels
Aug 3rd
In this latest video interview from Japanese magazine Famitsu, we learn quite a bit about Square Enix’s upcoming sophomore entry to the MMOG scene, Final Fantasy XIV.
In the interview, the developers insist that they want to focus on character growth, and for players to enjoy the process, which is often tedious in most games. To that end, there will not be experience or levels in Final Fantasy XIV. This is a huge departure from Final Fantasy XI, where leveling is very much a focus. Instead of levels, players will grow naturally through their experiences.
Final Fantasy XIV will also expand on the Job System. The developers say they wish to utilize the job system from FFXI, but in addition they are putting a focus on weapons. This clarifies the significance of all the weapons present in the Final Fantasy XIV logo.
The game will take place in the region of "Eorzea", but the world itself is referred to as "Haiderin". Races will be familiar to players of Final Fantasy XI, but will likely go under different names, as well as receive other touch ups to distinguish them from 11.
Also, unlike FFXI, this time around solo play will be completely viable for all More >
