-T- here! Here’s the report for FINAL FANTASY XIV at E3 2010! Lots of answers, and many leaked pictures that I forgot to post. I’ve explained the character creation and demo videos in detail. It’s basically just following along in the video. Notice that you can change the bust size in character creation…. more on that below in the character creation section! The YouTube videos are uploaded in HD, double click to view full screen!

PS3 Patrons must wait a little longer for this highly anticipated Beta test! Good luck with your applications!
Square-Enix’s The Last Remnant is a new single player RPG (role playing game) that was just released on the PC (Windows). It was originally released for the Xbox 360 in late 2008, but this is not just a port (the same exact game, but on another system). This game has been improved and tweaked for better graphics and performance.
In the age of MMORPGs (massive multiplayer online role playing games), people find that they can endlessly play and develop their characters while feeling that something is missing… namely the narration and uniqueness of an offline RPG. It is rare that a Japanese single-player RPG with such a famed developer/publisher like Square-Enix to release a game for the PC since their bread and butter had always been console systems.
I have been a fan of Square for a long time since their days in the NES (Nintendo) & SNES (Super Nintendo) to their most recent games. Final Fantasy has always been the largest and most well-known franchise for Square, but they have released some of the most popular games and mini-series like Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Kingdom Hearts, etc.
I found this game to be up to par in graphics evolution (from game to game), having amazing music scores, and an innovative fighting/battle system that seems quite epic at times. However, there are a few downfalls such as the overall design/look of the game since it feels too generic at times, the plot is kind of lacking, and other minor annoyances that I will elaborate on in a moment.
