Famitsu's Hands-On with the Alpha Test!

[KentaRawr!]

Or rather, someone else's reading of it. (http://ffxiv.zam.com/story.html?story=22042)

Something I find interesting is that players can teleport to any Aetheryte they've been to right from the beginning. The rest is stuff. :p

What do you think of this?

Makes me want to try it all the more. The battles look interesting and the visuals are gorgeous. Though it's odd that you can't recover MP when resting.

I honestly couldn't figure out how to recover HP/MP, but then again I didn't bother reading the manual and stuff they posted.

Very beautiful game, but some indoor areas look a bit flat with the lighting... I am guessing they are yet to put in the final lighting system though (which makes a lot of difference).
