I hope so, some of the frame drop sections were horrid.

It also had that terrible, TERRIBLE emotional storm of faces bit which makes absolutely no sense just put there on it's own (hell it looked terrible the first time around).

Really the one redeeming thing was the music, everything else about the trailer was either seen before or sub-par.

Waitin' for t' new one so I can share since its Talk Like a Pirate Day and I want t' post ARR on Facebook!

i hope Bayohne, Rukkirii, ... have pushed the emergency button

This is pretty funny coming from someone who praises FFXI to be the most original MMO ever.

The problem is - unlike in the video quoted above - SE have yet to really show anything worth seeing or getting hyped up about (which last time i checked was the point of a trailer?). So there's basically no redeeming features on display to alleviate whatever misgivings people would have toward the technical aspects (like fps rate) of a game that's obviously still in alpha. There's nothing really to draw anyone to the game besides slightly downgraded Version 1.0 graphics.

This.

I have to say that if I were an outsider to XIV I wouldn't be excited about this trailer for those reasons.
As a XIV enthusiast it still makes me cringe a bit because of those non-forest areas look the way they do and even as a player I don't avtually see any visible changes to the battle system aside from that now-milked overdrive.

It's cool but not news headlines cool or preorder day 1 buy-cool.
Also pr time is running out. XIII games were promoted for almost a year but XIV has few months to release.

This is funny because I've stated numerous times they've used EQ as the base for it while throwing in FF elements, especially of FFIII nature.

I agree 100% with this analysis. God do I love III especially the one where Akihiko re-did the characters.

News Flash! 2.0 has never had a chance to accomplish 'preorder day 1 buy-cool.' Never even remotely a consideration. They are trying to improve a horribly conceived and executed game. Oh by the way, in under 2 years. "Great result" is out of the equation. All that SE can hope for is a redeeming of the game. Bringing it to the level of XIII (not critically acclaimed) is the cap. This perspective brought to you from a fan, btw.

People need to reset their expectations about this game because they are getting unrealistic, again. Major systems, battle, armoury, class/jobs, etc will all remain relatively unchanged. Throw in better servers, some FF classic elements, and standard MMORPG quests/progression and there you have it.

Those expecting some innovative gameplay should look elsewhere.
