FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Opening Movie Now Live! (01/07/2013)

Dear Square Enix,

Please don't forget to put subtitles on all CG movies because I need it. ^^
FFXI's intro is the only FF game that didn't have subtitles and I was disappointed.

Thank you very much!

Yeah I guess I kind of went off on a slight tangent. Usually you have the intro movie, then you design your character, and then there are more cutscenes to further explain what is going on at the start. That was the point I was trying to make, is that usually you get more information after the opening movie and that I wasn't too worried about new players not being able to figure out what was going on. No worries!

A lot of old players don't know either ...not surprised new ones will be lost..that is why everyone needs to read the "CG Midlander" thread

[Seraphe]

The CG midlander thread in the "Localization" Forums is a must read. You THOUGHT you understood the story. But you certainly didn't.
Follow Warlocks advice!

I want a scene with my char in ARR to be as epic as this one !

Since new players stepping into Eorzea for the first time won't exactly understand the meaning behind the opening movie that we recently released, we will be preparing a slightly different version to be included as the official intro to the game.

Well, actually, judging by some of the bizarre comments in this thread some of those who DID play 1.0 don't 'get it' either.

And still this CS makes me shed a tear.. Dam you SE!
I wish people would start talking more in SE CS's though..
I mean you guys know how to cast A list actors and you've proven it.
To hear the voices in these cutscenes, would just make people feel even more attached to them..
I have been waiting for the day, that all FF characters have voices and not just lines of text.

Agreed we put a lot of time and effort into every post in that now 70+ page thread.

So it comes down to the fact that SE needs to just make a Final Fantasy movie with what we all seen. I would buy go see it lol.

God that would be somethin, wouldn't it?

A feature length movie on just the 1.0 storyline, as seen from Derplander's party's eyes of course. Covers everything in the 7th umbral era and ends with a bang..literally XD

Lord, would I pay to see that.
