And so, the day has finally come to get involved with another MMORPG. Had lunch with Wifey at Funan Centre today and right after that, it was on to the game store to purchase the latest Final Fantasy adventure to hit town, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online! Spent about 3 hours downloading all the latest patches to ensure that my gaming experience will be an enjoyable one. However, there was one big problem. My graphics card was so ancient that it didn't even meet the minimum requirements (I thought I had that covered when I bought the game. Realized I mistook my GC as meeting the requirements). So I did a 5min research on the internet and decided to plonk down almost $400 on a Nvidia Geforce GTX 460 1GB card. Pretty retarded, but thats besides the point (btw the game only cost $70 >.<). And then I had another issue, my power supply was not that "power" afterall. Sooo, I have to head down to the store again tomorrow morning to get a new power supply and at the same time get the kind folks there to help me install everything. Anyway, I managed to run the game on my crappy card and I am still amazed at how good the game looks.
Check out some screenshots:
The packaging
Screenshots from the opening movie of the game
The character I created
Do note that my 256MB card was running these graphics! I really can't wait to see the difference when my new card is up and running.
Will post more in-game pics in due time!
