Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn- Beta and Release Information

Unfortunately at the moment classes and jobs are restricted to a single weapon. Which is odd considering how 'open' the class/jobs are with the armoury system.

It will probably change in the future when they've finished adding all the classes and jobs they want to put in there.

Time magic for bards was in XIV but may have been changed for ARR. I can't really say since I've never actually played as a bard in either version.

Well I'll try out some things and play with it, not like i wont have time in the summer

Not all the new classes/jobs have been announced yet.

-Arcanist/Summoner is new.
-Scholar is new.

There's another being announced at E3 which will probably be musketeer.

But then there's all the Final Fantasy XI classes/jobs that will probably be added later like Ninja/Samurai/Dark Knight.

And the classic ones like Blue Mage/Red Mage/Thief e.t.c

So there's a lot of new combinations to look forward to in the future.

Lol its becoming like final fantasy tactics hahah

You can never have enough classes! (I think ... )

More classes and jobs the more game time and experimentation you can do!

Long as the classes are balanced and flushed out well (they're a cornerstone of several FFs so thats not an issue) it can only be a good thing

As long as they don't change my precious warrior I'm happy.

I may role a new character for ARR. The male Miqo'te looks pretty cool.

I am with you on this Onion.
I am thinking Elezen Archer/Bard for my first toon. FF14 is looking so good, that I don't mind DkS getting pushed back to March 2014.

I want to do the thing that GameInformer once did. The travels of Lyonhart and his companions! Traveling in Vanadiel!

Very excited to play this game. I did the benchmark and got a 9k rating at Extremely High. lol.

I got 7k I think? But I can also run it at higher settings than the original because it's actually optimised.

Also the PS3 version looks really good. Even after all these years they still impress me with the visual quality and performance they can get out of consoles, especially ones at the end of their life cycle.

hmmm maybe ill add this to the OP

Should be a new trailer in the next few days. Also gameplay footage from E3.

Q and A about various stuff.

Wraps up an awesome day being a Final Fantasy fan.

Looking fantastic.
Can't wait for the PS3 Beta.

Also a PS4 release in 2014.

Beta phase 3 is in 5 days. Can't wait.

Screenshots from so far at E3. 

To much hassle for me to resize so here's the link if you want it.

I'm quite superbly excited for all of the FF games that were released. Including A Realm Reborn. I have had my eye on this for awhile.

It has been a great E3 so far. More XIV gameplay and new class reveal tomorrow.

PS3 Ui (and gameplay) showcase with the developers.

With official translation.

Enjoy guys. (And keep an eye out for beta invites in your email inbox.)

Gameplay from E3 so far.

All videos put in the OP and a separate E3 section has been created.

Thank you for all the help onion

No problem.
