Is this SoA video real or fake?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=DptwK2BecPg

Appears to show GEO and RNF in battle, but not officially uploaded by SE or anything.

Looks real to me. Maybe it was part of a semipublic betatest that took place in JP? Mocchi is a JP community rep.

Seems legit. Matsui and Mocchi are both present.

This morning SE was playing Live on that youtube channel they have instead of it facing the auction house or the title screen for days on end they were in the new expansion playing, sucks I had to go to work...


loledit - - - Its now Facing the Auction House again so much fail... why waste the resources seriously :mad:

They realy need to fix that animation spam from GEO.

Legit. IIRC, it's a "dry run" for a more official stream later.

Every so often programming aimed at JP players airs on there. A few weeks back I noticed some Vana'fest gameplay footage being re-aired, in Japanese.

I'm sure there's a published schedule of such things somewhere, but I don't know Japanese.

Agreed. And not just the animation, but the aura effects were bothering me. I liked the luminescent look of the spheres from the SoA site pictures, but the noxious fumes in the video makes them look like the GEO has a flatulence problem. I hope it's just the video quality.

I can't tell for sure since the Geomushroom only changed equipment a few times, but it looks an awful lot like the aura animations reset every time visible equipment is changed.

One day, I may be responsible for somebody's seizure just by casting Fire IV on something and changing back into my idle set. Hopefully, I will be in a pick-up Voidwatch group that particular day. I can't think of a punchline here other than reaffirming that I am a horrible person.

That "camera facing the auction house" is the live vanadiel cam. Most likely, they were showing it on that.
