I was just looking through youtube at FFXIV vids and I found this...Now I know this is FFXIV for sure as theres a flash of a girl with blonde hair walking and shes wearing purple outfit in a palm house....well this was a screenshot for the game code named "Rapture" which i've been waiting for and we all know what Rature was offical called hehe

Anyway heres the Tech Demo I found...



I looked at the comments about the video and people think this is "City in the Sea, Limsa Lominsa" because of the description on the main SE website about Limsa Lominsa people think this is what the "City of the sea" is, to be honest it looks like a city in the middle of the sea to me so i'm with them on this one. lol

Hope Eorzea dosn't mind me starting a new topic, but I actually couldn't find a topic for ffxiv videos and this SO needed to be shared.

What you think guys...we know its FFXIV for sure as one of the shots was from the game code named "Rapture" that I was waiting for...anyone else think this is Limsa Lominsa?....also I have to say beutiful graphics really smooth edges...!!


ok this is last post for the week..(at my parents house at the mo) byebye guys....hope this helps people with their thirst for a little bit more knowledge of ffxiv enviroments...be nice to me

Heres some pictures that I found regarding "Rapture" - now known as FFXIV...those screenshots are def taken from the video I found...also I added the screenshot of the women I was talking about that i've had on my laptop since May 2009.

I put the screenshots here soley to show that they are from the video

Simply amazing. I'm so impressed with FFXIV being so much more lively and beautiful than FFXI. FFXI is a little bland (I still love it), but FFXIV... is just O.O beautiful. I can't wait to explore it

[Eorzea]

Yeah, the tech demo looks good, but even its graphics look a bit outdated compared to what FFXIV seems to be promising. I'm looking forward to it.

[Quinn]

you guys are just replying to this now.. ..oh my gosh I thought no one cared that I went on the search for FFXIV related things that no one has posted yet...I was so dissapointed no one replied to my research.

I guess no one noticed it...glad people are responding to my post now..go Quinny i'm so happy I could cry lol

[Momotaru]

The first pic is my favorite.. Can't wait to see shots like this from XIV.
Town pics have yet to surface.

Where are those alpha players and their leaked info, already!


Thank you for your hard work Quinn!

[Kurisu]

This was originally posted on the 26th February?! How did I miss this?!

Anyway, thanks Quinn for finding this video, and posting the images, too. I totally forgot that Final Fantasy XIV was formerly known as Rapture!

I agree with Eorzea; the graphics do look outdated! But, this tech demo is from 2005?! Seeing how amazing FFXIII is, then I think XIV will look great, too!

[Quinn]

Your welcome guys...yep Kurisu was posted 26th Feb... no idea how you missed it just being mean and ignoring any topis that I post arn't you.. its ok I can take it i'm a big girl now... jk jk hehe..

anyway yeppers the code name to FFXIV was Rapture so yay go me mwhahaha...anyway glad you all find this topic intresting my reasearch wasn't wasted after all..

So off I go back to my boring accountant work..but first a cup of coffee I think and then i'm prob going to stand at the top of the stairs to my office and stare over the workforce...like i'm survaying the suvannah desert

ROLL ON 5PM!!!!! then siggy siggy siggy...then...ffxiv post post post...yay!

until I get called out on dutys again and get no sigs done...Noooooooo!!

[Eorzea]

I think it didn't get much attention initially because the majority of us had already seen it at one point or another. That being said, it hadn't been posted in any of our topics yet, so it's a good thing you thought of doing so.

Anyway, the video feels somewhat reminiscent of FFXII's graphics set in FFX's city of Luca. Kind of cool, kind of strange, but not exactly similar to the vibe I get from Final Fantasy XIV. I think things have come a long way since this tech demo.

[Quinn]

The gpahics seem to off come on a whole heap since the tech demo...but I have to say i'm excited to see what the citys would look like if they are anything like the tech demo..

the girl with the purple top..that purple top reminds me off a top I wanted to get from dynamis i'll try get a pic of it..I just know it reminds me of something i've seen..

But I love the detail you have plant bots behind her and tables and chairs...in sandy it was a couple of trees and that was your lot for decoration...its AMAZING!!

Wow, I don't know how I didn't see this thread earlier. I remember first seeing this tech demo when I was still playing FFXI a long, long time ago. Now that I've seen it again it does remind me of XIV a lot although the graphics will have undoubtedly been improved upon since it was first created.

Good find Quinn, even if we didn't see it right away. Good info to post for those that haven't seen the vids or screens.

I'm so sorry, Quinn. I've been away from the forum for a while and I didn't notice this thread until now. I didn't even welcome you to the site; so here's a personal one from me: Welcome!!! I look forward to playing FFXIV with you.

Thanks for posting this video too, it looks great. Even if a lot has changed since then in regards to visuals, etc, it's still nice to see some kind of template.

The first picture is my favorite too, the lighting makes the town look so vibrant and inviting.

I think the piece of equipment you may be thinking about, Quinn, is the Morrigan's Robe from Salvage?

Thankyou very much its really nice of you to say...because it was so old and under the code name Rapture thought i'd dig up some really old stuff on FFXIV...but the ghapics have changed so much from the tech demo its amazing..

thankyou again means alot that people liked my findings lol
