FFXIVblog.com: A Shit Ton of Fresh Content

Ok, FFXIVblog.com say it’s a “Cornucopia” of fresh content, but I like to say it’s a “shit ton”.

From a ZAM interview of FFXIV’s developers you learn about classes and their role in combat and a little bit on how combat works.

From FFXIVblog.com,

“Battle wise according to the development team, the first big difference between XIV and XI is pacing. Rather than fighting a single prolonged battle and then resting, characters can expect to be facing off against multiple foes in a short period. Since apperently MP doesn’t heal up through regular rest (this is handled through Aetheryte), conserving your resources will play an important part in battle. Personally, it’ll be interesting to see how exactly this will work in-game.”

I won’t go into everything the article said because those guys did all the work already but if you’re starving for some new information on FFXIV then click the links and soak up the info.
