A new video of alpha footage was released for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. This time we get to take a look at instanced dungeons. Check it out below!
The players here are taking on the Tam-Tara Deepcroft. The video shows the group exploring the dungeon, taking on a variety of foes with the new fast-paced and dynamic battle system, and conquering the dungeon's challenges to keep going deeper. The atmosphere in particular looks great, with the lighting and shadows making it really look like the party is in an underground dungeon.
According to the FFXIV Community Rep who posted the video, this is the last video in the Alpha First Look series. The videos haven’t shown much in the way of content, as the alpha test does not have most of the content available. But they did a great job of showing just how committed the development team has been to remaking the entire game for the better: from the interface to crafting to the battle system. Final Fantasy XIV has truly been remade from the ground up, and so far looks very promising.
The Beta test is set to begin in a month-and-a-half, so we may have to wait until then for more gameplay footage. Until then, you can look back at the entire series of alpha previews to see just how far FFXIV has come:
