Well PAX has come and gone. Shown at PAX was a demonstration of XIV.
The demo had a player as a harvester going through the tutorial battle engaging a few monsters.
Now I don't want to sound like an angry "fanboy" but I watch a great reviewer called the SpoonyOne who runs the
Spoony Experiment site and posts on thatguywiththeglasses. He posted a video recently calling the game boring and garbage from the video. In a further response he acknowledged that the demo he watched was a tutorial but doesn't change the fact XIV will be garbage. (He then praises Guild Wars for its demo of scripted footage). In any case I'm just curious about peoples experience in the beta, whether they hold up to their expectations are you having fun. Etc. Now please don't go running your mouth off on his site about how he's wrong or anything since he's entitled to his opinion.
And SE has never been known for good demonstrations at conventions.
Though one last thing, I find it funny that somebody who has stated several times he doesn't like mmorpgs makes a preview video for an mmorpg.
