The latest video from Square Enix in anticipation of the upcoming PC/PS3 MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online shows gamers the changes that have gone in to the game now that it is at beta stage and compares this to the original alpha version of the title which we all saw at E3 2010 (hands-on impressions coming to DualShockers this week). From enhancements in graphics, lighting, and textures to character detail the game has clearly been improved from the visual aspect. The battle system also appears slightly quicker and more robust. You be the judge and check out the video for yourself. This highly anticipated title is expected to release some time later this year but an official release date has yet to be announced.
