No matter whether you like Final Fantasy XIV, there's no disputing that the graphics are lush, and some would say, truly inspired. Today's shot hovers between being ethereally lovely and being a bit ominous, as the fog near the ground could hide all manner of nasty monsters just waiting to take a bite out of some weary travelers' hides. This fabulous Final Fantasy XIV image comes to us from Focant, who writes in to explain:
"After porting into Mor Dhona (I have no idea what would bring me to that hellish place) via the Camp Revenant's Toll Aetheryte, I was greeted by a truly eerie sight. A miasmic haze filled the air, darkening the landscape and turning the sky a pale lavender. The weather just highlights the dangers of the zone, a place that even a group of max-rank players have to watch their backs in. The zone is usually empty too, considering it serves little purpose beyond a few short missions and acting as a mass grave for adventurers. Well... and as eye-candy."
Next week we'll be introducing theme weeks to One Shots, kicking things off in the most logical place: starting zones! If you'd like to help us out with One Shots, then send a screenshot of what you think is the best starting zone in any game to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here for everyone to enjoy and give you the thanks!

If only they took out the asinine gear degradation/repair system. I would log on the second it was gone... We can only hope right?

Slightly sad all the good looking MMO's either dont do well or they arent "up to par" with the most successful ones (other than wow too..)
Very pretty sight, indeed.

The 'alt-tab' crash will probably never be 'fixed', it still persists in FFXI after all. You have the option to play windowed or download third party programs that will allow you to alt-tab.

Lovely screenshot! Quick question is it true SE cancelled the PS3 version of FF14? I'm hoping I heard wrong because I really want to give FF14 a chance without having to do a bit of upgrading.

@raven7680 Final Fantasy XIV is cancelled for the PS3 until the PC version of the game is worth a subscription fee. Once SE reactivates the sub fee then we should have a release date for the PS3 version.

Yeah, the PS3 version was delayed indefinitely, meaning they won't release it until its ready. I really liked FF11, but it felt so console'ish, I'd love to try FF14 on the PS3, I'm sick of pc MMOs, they're all so similar, at least playing on the console would give the appearance that its new, even if that feeling only lasts a few weeks, which is better then MMOs on the pc which feel like retreads after a day.
