Yet another Final Fantasy preview this time at PC.IGN. Unlike their preview a week ago, this one's hands on:
In terms of interface, Final Fantasy XI presents a great deal of information in a relatively convenient format. (Per Square Enix's request, the interface isn't shown in any of the shots presented here.) The basics are all included -- things like chat windows, player health and magic bars, and a compass all help you take in the world before you at a glance. But there are other, less obvious details here. The time of day and weather condition, displayed near the compass in the lower left, will actually affect the strength of your magic attacks. Magic in Final Fantasy XI is organized into schools that can work with and against each other -- fire beats ice beats wind beats earth beats lightning beats water beats fire again. A much larger region map can be pulled up to show you how your conquests are going and orient you towards specific locales.
