SoA release trailer...

[Elphy]

Just watched the new trailer for SoA

After seeing the trialers and promos for ffxiv, mists of pandaria, gw2, etc you would think SE would put a little more into it. It was quite a let down imo. Didnt cause any thrills or chills or induce any excitement whatsoever for SoA. With the ARR beta running at the same time as the SoA release you would think they would make you want to play ffxi again but frankly they have been more inviting to ARR and with as little as they have done with that so far, that is saying something.

You would think SE marketing dept would put a little more omph into the promo for a brand new expansion. Gimme something that looks like I would want to play and no just oh look a new map...yawn. This really is a back-burner sort of thing for me at this point and this site and trailer keeps it there.

Come on SE, some smart marketing would be nice. Maybe a cs or cinematic. At least soemthing more than seeing a couple trees and gates.

I thought it was a nice trailer and I'm looking forward to it. New maps to explore is what I'm looking forward to the most in Adoulin.

It's a 10 year old game in a world that's fairly static at all time. I was not looking forward to anything dynamic.

That in mind, I liked the trailer. Helluva lot better than the Vanafest trailer where there was literally nothing.

They do tend to show off a bit too much in the "empty street, open plain" department. It's almost as if their selling point is lots of open space for bazaaring in!

I'm still pretty stoked for the expansion.

still I couldda done that on my laptop.

Its a large company coming out with an entire new, supposedly massive expansion. They could have put a little more effort into it and maybe drum up some excitement.

In this day and age, a lil trailer like that, which btw would garner me an F in any of my media classes, just does not cut it

Let's see what you can do then, make us a new expansion and promote it with a trailer using your laptop. I'll be waiting to be overwhelmed.

Someone else keep a wahmbulance on call because I think the OP will need it.

LoL if you had ever taken any classes that deal with anything like this, you would be shocked at how poorly this is done. I could do something better on my laptop and if SE wants to supply us with any good imagery or once I bother to spend the money on the expansion, I will

There are plenty of examples on youtube of ppl who have taken in-game video they have recorded and make better vids from them.

Seeing how outdated Final Fantasy 11 really is, We feel they did pretty well on the Trailer. On a pricing PoV though, We feel that Final Fantasy 11 is not in anyway on par with the newer games and should have been priced around $9.99~$19.99.

We picked up another copy of Skyrim $29.99 and both add-ons for $16.49 which came out last year. We'll be waiting for the FINAL FANTASY® XI Ultimate Ultimate Ultimate OMG!! Collection Edition for $9.99 three months after the release of SoA, we remember what happened last time.

I dont know what all people have, the trailer was nice and fine. I am still very excited for seekers of Adoulin

It was a very old school trailer for a very old school game.

The main concern I suppose would be that it wouldn't attract new players, as it wasn't very flash.
