    Another interesting video from the official Final Fantasy XIV YouTube Channel with further details on character creation and the development of character movements through the use of motion capture.




    In other news:



    The ESRB rating summary is particularly humorous when describing dialogue containing suggestive references with such gems as "the netmaster's probably up in his office polishing the mast just thinking about her" and "stick yer manhood in the forge."

  • FFXIV to have 18 Classes at Launch

    The verdict is in. Final Fantasy XIV will have 18 classes at launch!

    Five Disciples of War.
    Two Disciples of Magic.
    Three Disciples of the Land.
    Eight Disciples of the Hand.

    5 + 2 + 3 + 8 = 18

    The lack of combat classes may seem disappointing at the moment, but you can bet that Square Enix will release additional classes in the future. Remember, Final Fantasy XI also started with a modest number of classes, but that number continued to grow through the release of numerous expansion packs.

    Not only that, but with FFXIV allowing players to customize their character with skills accumulated from all classes, there are a large number of possibilities! And that's not even considering the impact of elemental affinities.

    That being said, let's take a look at the final lineup!


    DISCIPLES OF WAR

    • Archer
    • Gladiator
    • Lancer
    • Marauder
    • Pugilist


    DISCIPLES OF MAGIC

    • Conjurer
    • Thaumaturge


    DISCIPLES OF THE LAND

    • Botanist
    • Fisher
    • Miner


    DISCIPLES OF THE HAND

    • Alchemist
    • Armorer
    • Blacksmith
    • Carpenter
    • Culinarian
    • Goldsmith
    • Leatherworker
    • Weaver


    This official lineup (as confirmed by the official site) also confirms the correct spelling/translation for some of the classes we weren't quite sure about:

    • "Botanist" was translated as "Harvester" on many Japanese sites.
    • No one could decide if it would be "Fisher" or "Fisherman."
    • "Armorer" used the "Armourer" spelling for a while.
    • "Leatherworker" was known as "Tanner" for quite some time.
    • Some thought "Carpenter" would be known as "Woodworker."


    It's great to finally have things set in stone!

    A third page, finally!

    This page was pretty scenery-heavy, so it took a bit of doing.

    Much apologies for the heavy delay on this one. A combination of post-semester burnout and various events were the culprit. The next page is already well on its way though! I'm playing a bit of catchup. ;)

    Enjoy, and let me know what you think! :onion61:
