The one thing that still put this game above the likes of WoW for me is the quick and easy changing of subjob to meet situational needs
      Your class has three talent trees in WoW. A Paladin for example can spec for full healing, full tanking, or full DPS, or maybe a hybrid between two or even all three if they want to be adventurous and ultimately a bit wank as they won't be reaching all the meaty abilities at the bottom of a particular tree. Dual-spec attainment means you can carry two different sets of spec instead of having to go back and respec at a class trainer each time you want to switch from tanking to healing, or debuffs to burst.

      I'll prob give this a bash, then quit afterwards.

        Although you have those options, you are generally limited to one particular spec per tree if you don't want to be mocked/gkick'ed.

        Just look at the mocking shockadins got (before blizzard stopped it being a viable spec)

                Yeah, just reading the thread now.

                Why on earth would Sony outright lie about the exclusivity though? I can understand some smoke and mirrors (Like MS steering clear of whather MGS was 360 only on Monday), but to outright say it's console exclusive for the PS3?

                  SquareEnix confirmed that they will consider all platforms but also that it takes a lot of time & money to move from one platform to another. That's the reason they gave for this game, apparently it was better than moving XI to the PS3 which is want they originally wanted to do.

                  EDIT:
                  I suppose it's worth pointing out that G4 did actually mention the name Microsoft when talking SquareEnix answered the question of other formats but Destructoid, GameSpot, etc are saying that they said that they're words were that they "were considering all options at this time".

                    Bit like with that Killzone footage back in the day probably

                    'Yes, that's real-time footage running on PS3 hardware', and a few months down the line turned out to be FMV.

                      To be fair to Jack Tretton he did say it would be launching exclusively on PS3 and he right in the sense that the only console it will be on at launch is the PS3 it will obviously come to 360 and maybe Mac latter. But Sony did try to make it out to a proper exculsive but then MS are just as guilty of doing that as well.

                      The rumour going around is that Microsoft are reluctant to bend the rules for this to be on the 360 and there not keen on the cross-platform play particular with the PS3 and the PC version is not using Games for Windows Live. I know they did it with FFXI but that was with the PS2 which was not direct competition for them. I still think it will come to 360 eventually though nothing stays exclusive forever these days.

                        Come on, that's poor! I know that they all push it a bit but he did a little more than just playing with words...maybe. This & Peter Mouleneux lying about the Natal demo being real always get found out and I don't think they really benefit anybody.

                        From the blogs I was reading it sounded like an invitation to Microsoft! They were pretty much saying that Sony wouldn't give them any money so SquareEnix put up a challenge for them tonight. Not nice but hey, nothing wrong with that!

                          To be honest you are right I did take the word of someone off GAF for Tretton quote so that serves me right but I more interested in rumour that the only thing stopping this being on 360 is that Microsoft are not keen on the cross-platform as if it's true it does seem a little silly to me. Anyone know if Microsoft have a problem with that MMOs on 360 or is it more GAF talking nonense as I don't quite understand why they didn't just annouce it for 360 already and get it out of the way instead of having months of speculation over it.

                            I'd have to double check the conference if I could be assed but I'm sure Tretton said the only console to have FF14 next year would be on PS3. This isn't a lie althought it was the usual clever wording that these guys also use.

                            It's also worth remembering that all S-E have said is that they are considering other platforms. Whilst I expect a 360 version somewhere down the line (if they can agree cross-platform play with MS) it's not official yet.

                              To be honest, I think Tretton did actually say that it would get a console launch exclusively on the PS3. Sorry if it sounded like I was calling you a liar, it really wasn't supposed to sound that way at all as that wasn't what annoyed me!

                              The thing I've not liked about this is exactly the same with the Milo thing. I don't believe either of them lied, what they both said was strictly true but it was also an attempt to mislead people.
