Final Fantasy XIV - Version 2.0!

[Rostum]

So they just released some awesome documents about their "Version 2.0" development for the game.

FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

All these changes look incredible, but... the complete overhaul is going to take them until this time next year to complete. At which we'll be seeing the PS3 release shortly before Christmas according to the timeline.

Check out the PDF's at the bottom of the page, especially the art bible. Looks incredible. Where was this team when they were first developing the game? The interface looks heaps better, and it seems like it's going to be a drag-drop system which is most ideal.

EDIT: Just to make things clear, this is a remake of the entire game. New engine and everything. The downside is it's going to take a year...
