All I can say about the new Final Fantasy XIV is that it looks great, just as the manufacturers promised!Why another Final Fantasy? Hiromichi Tanaka answered to this challenge saying that he wanted a substantial upgrade of the graphic effects, so for the players who have not get tired of the universe of Final Fantasy thisis extraordinary news.
Raising the level would be completely different in Final Fantasy XIV and you will not be able to gain experience points to achieve this, the system being changed with a gradually one which depends on the gained skills.
The mechanics of the jobs is now closely linked to trade, so your role will depend on the weapons you own, previously made. So, in Final Fantasy XIV your role will guide you to the way of selecting one of the four available disciplines.
Exploring the surrounding environments is recommended to be done in a passive manner which does not involve using a firearm.This passive manner of exploring the surroundings will allow you to run faster and to regenerate a large part of your life until the moment of a battle in which these benefits will disappear.
Final Fantasy XIV in 2D mode looks like the 11th "chapter" of the series, which is not a very bad thing, but try to use the 3D glasses! The whole universe will take another shape which shines through its spectacular visual effects. You will be definitely in the middle of action.
In my opinion Final Fantasy XIV is a "must" for every RPG fan and I'm sure the other FF players are very excited about this release.
