Re: So. While the servers are down..Your thoughts! - Rhio - 09-03-2010
I haven't played much in Open, but I did play a bit in Closed. And I'm not going to write a wall of text on it, because I'm going to be writing up a whole feature on my first impressions prior to the game's launch, and I'm not fond of doing the work twice. Heck, I might even change my impressions.
That being said, this far? This game isn't the game I was hoping for.
It is much better.
The game feels huge, dwarfing, open and enjoyable, the sort of thing I can dive into and enjoy and not fret about when I don't yet know everything. I actually want to work on crafting here, and I usually don't even like crafting. I already love botany and mining.
My only complaints are the lack of a functional auction house and the fact that I have yet to run into any RPC members or form alliances. I feel stunningly lonely! I need to make some connections.

I have difficulty to believe that there's no "campaign or story quest" after the starter city... I mean, FF series were all about the story...
Anyone is sure about this?

I have found the inability to add friends if they are offline to be incredibly vexing.

So far for running around, menus, interacting..so far it's fantastic. No need to deal with the mouse lag that crops up.
Just purchased an Afterglow AX.1 wired controller for the 360 that has PC drivers! Can't wait to test it out! My other 360 controller is on the fritz and the right bumper doesn't work
This controller cost $30 and it lights up

I use a ps2 controller. It's pretty much perfect.
Re: So. While the servers are down..Your thoughts! - Vareal - 09-03-2010
Yeah, i wish I still had a PS3 controller, have the drivers for it and it's installed and working on my PC... but I had to sell my PS3 to live... Hopefully I'll be able to get another one for the XIV ps3 beta test's/launch. I prefer the PS controllers over the 360 controller, but for $30 when a dualshock 3 is $54? Can't go wrong!
of course, after glow does make a PS3 controller.... but Walmart didn't have one!
Re: So. While the servers are down..Your thoughts! - Tadir - 09-03-2010
But you can get a ps2 controller for, like, 10 bucks.

yeah, but I don't have the USB dongle so I can't connect it to my computer. And i've got two PS2 controllers. Only problem is, those dongles are hard to come by now-a-days unless you order it online, and it doesn't help that I'm highly impatient when it comes to that sort of thing
Re: So. While the servers are down..Your thoughts! - Tadir - 09-03-2010
True. I picked up the adapter about five years ago. It was staring at my during Closed Beta, so I gave in and tried a controller. Much, much better.

I did have an Alienware controller that was a dual connect; both PS2/1 and USB for pc. Only problem was it's a horrible controller. I can't describe how crappy it was, lol. The D-pad was imbedded so far into the controller and was a solid piece of plastic, it made playing games like street fighter a nightmare. Not to mention the analog sticks.... lol. Just awful.
