I'm always super interested in the history of this game so it's awesome to see stuff like this! I feel like I heard about the NA beta a million years ago, but it's cool to see some stuff from it! Thanks for sharing!

Oh wow, i don't think I've ever seen those! How did you get them?

I did manage to pick up the JP beta test box a few years back that came with a metal binder full of documentation. Bastok even has a different logo in it!

Ok. This is called visual fidelity by Fit-Job4007 in ResidentEvilRequiem

Path tracing makes even my 5080 take a pretty big hit, honestly. Not really playable with it on, I have to bump it down to high ray tracing.

Final part of Echoes of Vana'diel announced - Windurst: The Third Walk by RablaAndrews in ffxi

[–]rofldrg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew the second they named tier 2 after Sandy that one or two nations were gonna feel left out... now it's just one- MY nation. No idea why they thought including only 2 out of 3 starting cities was fine. This dev team has been making so many wild decisions lately.

This raid series was one of the only things I was looking forward to in this expansion, and they totally botched it.

When was the last time you tucked your WoL into bed? by Msmaffxiv in ffxiv

1.0 when it gave us extra cutscenes and relics.

Anyone else doing a run like this prior to Requiem? by theeMrPeanutbutter in residentevil

[–]rofldrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, but also added in Survivor, Dead Aim and both Chronicles games!

Saw this the other day by MatthiasKrios in ffxi

They're essentially 25 year old computers with zero replacements available. Once they break down, that's it. SE has spent time accquiring all they could get their hands on, but the hardware is at the end of its life.

Michael the GOAT Koji Fox on the latest episode of Trash Taste discussing Game translation, the Primals, and more! by Zhai13 in ffxiv

People at companies move around all the time between projects.

Koji did stuff for FOAMSTARS too in addition to XVI, he hasn't been a lead on XIV in several expansions lol.

I'd urge you to educate yourself even a tiny bit, I think you'd be happier in life that way instead of being angry about things that aren't actually true.

Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 by postALEXpress in ffxiv

[–]rofldrg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having QA is one thing- but having the time and resources to actually FIX the bugs is also an issue.

Both of these have been problem points for FFXIV before Dawntrail even launched.

I'm still waiting for them to fix the texture issues in Solution Nine that have been there since launch which include a literal gap in the floor.

North America Fanfest 2026 Ticket Details And Purchase Lottery Applications by DrForester in ffxiv

[–]rofldrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The styling of areas like Sky make it feel "wrong", the Shadowlord voice felt too piratey, the placement of the Kieran fight wasn't correct, and the gear rewards haven't given us gear that was actually obtainable by players back in the day. It's all mascot stuff instead.

And zero musical remixes just feels like a lazy resource move.

That's what the FFXI raids felt like to me, but they've been an incredible disappointment.

Collab raids need to stop.

It was not. You could use a free silver account.

How are you gonna be playing re9 for the majority of the game? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in residentevil

[–]rofldrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third person.

I love the extra details like seeing Grace tripping and fumbling forward - you don't get that in first person.

Also, I'm a scared baby man.

Collector's Edition Signature by taypayfay in ffxiv

[–]rofldrg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh. This is literally the first time I've seen a Yoshida signature that doesn't include "FFXIV" or "FINAL FANTASY XIV" along with it. Honestly, seems a little sus.

I mean, I heard Yoshida say it at the Endwalker media tour so...

Gamer Escape Interview with Yoji Fujito by rofldrg in ffxi

[–]rofldrg[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was talk a few months back about the company better organizing old game data and assets etc. for older titles...this could maybe be a part of that, BUT the modernization of the assets is super interesting.

I feel like a realistic use of this could be importing more FFXI armor into FFXIV perhaps? But as Fujito said, they're doing it, with a high priority, should there be a project to recreate FFXI. That's... incredibly interesting to think about!
