Comparing Alpha to Beta

Here's a current comparison from the current alpha build to the next build (assuming to be beta).

Final Fantasy XIV: Alpha VS Beta (andriasang.com, 05.20.2010).

Looks pretty awesome, I think. :D I was worried the alpha seemed kind of dull in terms of lighting, but this just finalised my hopes of them putting in something much more dynamic.

What do you think?

Damn, can't view at work. :( I've read on a few news sources the Beta process has already begun, is that true?

Nope, just alpha.

Looking good.

Definitely looks good. I am glad that they took care of the lighting issue, too, as I recall having issues in other games in areas like caverns without a light source.
