Instanced Dungeon On Display In New Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Video

Hot on the heels of Square Enix's announcement of a new beta roadmap for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the developer released a video that shows one of the game's instanced dungeon in action. The dungeon of note is the Tam-Tara Deepcroft. This footage is taken from an alpha version of the game, so take what you see with a grain of salt.

The beta for the PC version starts in February. PlayStation 3's beta doesn't have a start date, but is slotted in to the third phase of the beta roadmap.

  • You know it actually looks pretty good, granted I never played the awful version of it. It's actually on my want list for PS3 when it comes around. Good, big fantasy MMO's on Console are just what I have been waiting for.
  • it looks... good! much closer to what i initially expected from the first iteration of this game, before i actually saw it.. reminds me a bit of ff12

  • it looks good, compared to the first. cant wait to play this.

  • Funny now they are starting to show alpha footage on GI even though there is a bunch more than just this.  

  • Just got into WoW and I'm really digging the whole MMO thing right now. To me though the screen looks too "busy". I mean I realize it's an MMO but that HUD is just killing me, especially when all the huge numbers from attack damage start popping up all over the screen. This is a very minor complaint though as the game does look very promising.
  • I'm looking forward to the PS3 version.

  • Looks nice and crisp. I agree that it is very reminiscent of FF 12 with the action bar, damage\heal numbers popping and character movement. Not a bad thing at all as if FF 12 had been made into and MMORPG it would have been amazing. Good move Square.

  • Another game where you stand still and spam your hotkeys. If I wanted to do that I would still be playing WoW.
  • I have never played a single final fantasy game...
  • If I had a decent internet provider I would buy it on my PS3 when it came out, but I'm stuck with crappy internet for a while so probably not.
  • Well, it looks a little bit better...

  • This game will be mine.

  • Let's just hope they have cross platform support, so PC players can group with PS3 players... I think that will be a big draw for this game.
  • Remember, all of this content is subject to change. So they could just scrap the entire thing and start over again if nobody likes it. They should have put that on the front of the box of the first release.

  • Can't wait to get back into FF14.

  • Just looks like the same old boring WoW tab target combat.  When will mmos evolve past this.  Oh ya, they already have in Tera and Blade and Soul.

  • Well it looks good so far, very interested in playing the beta when it comes out for PS3 next year. Hopefully PS Plus members will have access, might try it out on my Mac if they have a mac client as well. We will see how this game progresses in the future, looks promising if I say so myself.

  • This looks very promising. Hope it turns out good for all platforms.

  • I was sceptical to pick up XIV the first time round with all the bad reviews, but I may have to give this a go when it re-releases. I loves XI so would definitely like to enter the world they created again.
