FF Versus XIII and FFXIV 2.0 playable and FFXV announcement trailer at E3 2012

The guy who was the original spokesperson for FFXIV was so awful. Even HE sounded bored by the game. I don't know if he was an understudy or if he was seriously their first choice, but come on...

Guess he didn't have much to work with though.

edit: Couldn't find the actual video I was thinking of, but that one's close enough.

I really do believe they will have a playable build there.

I don't know if anyone can confirm this but i think i saw either a post by Yoshi-p or from an interview, he said something about E3 only having a CGI trailer of XIV 2.0 but most likely no in-game footage. It was a while back so thing might have changed and honestly, if they only come up with a CGI trailer then i don't see how people will even care for 2.0?

He said that 2.0's engine was complete as of last month and that they are at the step of porting code from the old engine to the new one. I don't know anything about programing but how long does that give them to come up with a least 1 playable area or some in-game material to show in a trailer?

I never saw this interview, nor hear Yoshi-P say this at all... and E3 is where you reveal alot of stuff you will be releasing. Why would they tell everyone about what they will be showing at E3? If they want to attract customers, they need to show a Build of the Product.. I'm sure SE knows this, and it will stick them in the foot if they don't!

And since they are in 2.0's Client now.. they have 3 months from the time they finished the client to make a Playable build.
Logic says, SE will have alot of stuff regarding FFXIV 2.0.. they didn't work so hard on a product and lose millions of dollars just to see it go down the drain.

How can they make all brand new maps with Content to put in them by October 2012 from the time they started 2.0 which was 1.5 years ago? How can they do all that along side FFXIV 1.xx? I'm sure they have at least 1 playble map with content in it by now.

Wasn't that an April Fool's joke?

But back on topic, the beta for 2.0 is supposed to be around October somewhere so hopefully if they're doing things right they'll have at least 1 small area playable or at least a video of gameplay by the time June comes around. Wasn't the 2.0 screenshot, shot in game?

Everyone relax :) Two months and you will see the new 2.0 trailer. I hope they show off new areas a lot....I want to see snowy Coerthas

He said he supposedly did research on game design so he should have known the answer to his question. It's already on the shop floor, therefore they can easily put out a playable E3 demo if they so chose, considering MMO E3 demos tend to only be segments regardless.

Yes, it was in-game Screenshot. That furthers my statement further ^^.
