    Now that we are a little more than a week into the open beta, it is only natural that impressions are being formed for those traversing the lands of Eorzea either for the first time or in its extended glory towards the lands of Ul'dah and Gridania. If you are in open beta, tell us of what has surprised you about Final Fantasy XIV that you never thought possible!

    The Making of a Realm series Part 7 with a short message from the art director Akihiko Yoshida. A rather short video (1:48) compared to the other Making of vidoes :(

    Thank you Ayelwen for dropping me a note about the release of this video.

    I picked up a Palit GTX460 Sonic Platinum 1GB last week to test out Square-Enix's recommended video card in a variety of configurations since it seems to be the soup du jour that a lot of people are looking into for FFXIV. This particular GTX460 weighs in with an 800MHz core, 1600MHz shader clock, and 4000MHz memory.

    The system configurations the GTX460 was tested in are as follows:

    First system:

    Intel Core i7 860 (2.8GHz stock, 4.2GHz OC)
    Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD7
    8GB DDR3-1600
    Intel X25-M 80GB
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

    Second system:

    Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 (2.93GHz stock, 3.7GHz OC)
    eVGA 680i SLI
    8GB DDR2-1066
    Intel X25-M 80GB
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

    The X6800, for those ...

    In the end, it wasn't actually revenge. Orophen died on our way to Gridania (we got lost), I ran off and then decided I didn't want to be without him. I thought that dying to a Billy Goat would be kind of sad and pathetic so I instead opted to find the meanest monster I could find.

    Surprisingly enough I lasted awhile against him before getting chewed out for a whole lotta HP, making me love my pink haired Lalafell more than I thought possible!

    Are you participating in beta? Do you have an interesting or amazing screenshots to share? If yes, then send them over to
    calaera@ffxivblog.com!It is preferred if you send them in their full sized glory, as we do need to make sure that we can get a usable crop out of them for the front page. If you don't want Calaera to create a narrative for your shot, you may include one or at least provide a brief explanation of your screenshot within the e-mail as well as your character name and server if you want them mentioned.
