You're going to need a little know how to put together, but everything you'll need is available online. Plenty of how-to guides can be found if you Google "how to build a computer". For $1,000, you can build a top notch gaming PC. But the first things you need to figure out are which base system ...

[quote]Look, 2.0 may very well put the game on par with some of the other games on the market, but it hasn't come to fruition yet. All I'm saying is that I think it still sucks in its current state, and there are better MMOs to spend money on until it sees the "renaissance" you are so sure of.[/q...

[quote]You stand there and autoattack until your "TP" reaches a high enough level to use a special attack that does more damage. That's right - most of your leveling experience consists of attacking an enemy and then waiting to press another key.[/quote] You can't compare XIV to XI without compar...

[quote]But it's safe to play now? Still fun?[/quote] I'm having fun. Safe to play though? Like any good MMO, it'll still suck your life away. ;) Just remember, the name of the game now is change....

I love the amount of One-star reviews on Amazon's page for XIV from 2010. >.> Also, what is the state of SWTOR? How is it holding up after release?...

[quote]There must be a free trial right?[/quote] Once 2.0 software is released for download for PC players in September or October, the game will go back to temporary free-to-play mode. They will resume payments after 2.0 hits retail a few months later. Other than that, get the game for CHEAP ...

[quote]I understand that XIV is an MMO, and not a stand alone. . .but after XIII, frick those guys.[/quote] I wholeheartedly agree. SE has a lot to prove to me before I put any effort into one of their single player renditions. :lol:...

[quote]I like that better than what I read about classes when it first came out. [/quote] Luckily, this is happening with this month's patch. Paladin, Warrior, Dragoon, Monk, Bard, White Mage, and Black Mage. [img]http://images.mmorpg.com/images/newsImages/522011/GearSets-FFXIV_t.jpg[/img]...

[quote]Is this the same Final Fantasy MMO from like 3 years ago? I hated that one.. get to level 15 or so and then you're forced to group even for grinding (which is most of what the game is)[/quote] That was FFXI. Huge grindfest. And unless your were a White Mage, Red Mage or Bard, looking for ...

Check out the XIV 2.0 page. Lots of cool stuff there including a timeline in one of the PDFs you can download at the bottom. http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/teaser/index.html According to that, 2.0 will go live for PC somewhere during September or October. During this time, the PS3 bet...

Battlefield 3 Skyrim The Binding of Issac (because it's that good!!!) Left 4 Dead 2 Arkham City The Witcher 2 just to name a few.......
[quote]I can't believe this is a real thread. The game was a terrible joke at all stages of original development and at launch, and still has a long way to go before it's a serious competitor to anything.[/quote] Perhaps its just not your cup of tea? The milestones that XIV has crossed are tru...
That summarizes any WoW clone MMO. In Rift and WoW I always felt like I was approaching each battle with a huge hammer just trying to smash each enemy as fast as possible with as little let up as possible. What it turned into was a set sequence of my action bar that I reproduced on EVERY SINGLE E...
I feel like I've played every iteration of FFXIV from beta to present. I for one can vouch that it is one of the most persistently improving MMOs in the wild. The Director of FFXI's glory days is not only radically changing, but also gutting and rebuilding FFXIV in pretty amazing ways. Remembe...
[quote]I do think they need to be slightly larger but not what's on the OP's pic.[/quote] You're right. They need to be bigger and with more exclamation points!...
Of course the image is tongue in cheek. :lol:...
