It was magical underwear or something.

Once you reach higher levels the game really begins to open up and introduces you to the levequest system which is just brilliant. Here are quests you sign up for which you can start at any moment. They have a timer so once you start you better be commited. These quests actually have thought put into them and require some strategy. One was an escort quest where you have to protect a dude from monsters. Another one has you kill enemies before they run off and get renforcements.Then there are these party quests that you sign up for, basically it searches for a party you can join, this happens in the background you can keep playing. It does take a long time 20 minutes sometimes but as I said you just keep playing and eventually the promt to start will begin. These missions transport you to a specific level, with some team goal, so far basic kill giant monster stuff but its great to actually work as a team.

I have explored so little, i have wandered into areas I am not supposed to, level 30 or so monster everywhere waiting to kill me. I have yet to even travel to another part of the world. I have yet to enter one dungeon. I have yet to try out a different class. I still havent unlocked the job system. I haven't used the materia system yet (yes its back!). So much more to see and do.

There is something about this game that just feels right. Some MMOs like DC Universe which I tried just feels messy in a way. This one feels organized, structured and it all works great with a controller. It may take a few hours to get used to it but it becomes super easy to navigate all the menus and actions. It feels like Final Fantasy. Which means its beautiful, sounds amazing, production values are nuts. Oh and when the servers begin to get empty at night or you enter an area where its just you the frame rate skyrockets and the game becomes gorgeous. When you are battling monsters at what has to be 50+FPS its a feast for the eyes. Even at its worse the frame rate never has slow down, I have had no lag, no crashes, no disconnects and no glitches. For a beta it works PERFECT. Bethesda needs to take notes cause they can't even get a single player game to work at release.

Can't wait for the full game. I am going to treat it like a full FF game, basically play it for close to 80-100 hours and do the main story.

Some videos showing the difference in frame rate as you move from area to area. The first vid I was going to show you as I entered that castle area but a gang bang started up so you get to see that.

The second video was me all alone at night, look how smooth the game got.

Neither video shows the best frame rate I encountered but its better than average,.

I have been doing non stop main missions and got to a major story moment with some awesome boss battles! This is a Final Fantasy game. Epic cutscenes, big story, cool characters, giant bosses. I think this maybe the best FF game in years.

Did you see, I have pants again! That is until I find more magical underwear. I look like a cat man green helmet version of Magneto.

That's the best part of online gaming.  You get to dress up stupidly when others try to 'blend in'.  I remember back with MH3, people would just assume that I was no good at it because I was the only one around wearing totally mismatched gear.  Those were the days.

Also, the Magneto resemblance is uncanny.

I've started playing now that I've found it. I don't expect to play much but it'll be good to see how it is anyway.

This chick walked up to that spot and took all her clothes off. So naturally I had to take a picture.

Oh just as the story got awesome I have to get ready to go on a long trip. Sad

Today I got a taste of the end game stuff where everyone looks to the tank and healer to be perfect or you get yelled at. Now I didnt get yelled at but people were upset cause I was new. Still there were nice people who helped. It was a mix. Also some infighting in the parties. Saw a gay slur thrown around. *Sigh* PEOPLE...

The farther you play the less you can do solo so basically this is what we are heading into Leo. I wish you were by my side. We could lead the team together. Sad But its $18 to switch servers which is ridiculous, wtf.

I thought you joined Jenova, Vader? Why did you ask us which server we played on, and then join a different one?  Oh, I see how it is now. Hrm
