It was part of my intention, Thanks!

Obviously this wasn't fan made and this is not an anime so this leaves us with one choice.

I'll let you guess who "failed" hard here.

Thanks for telling me what CGI stands for. As I said, AMV is Anime Music Video and "Anime" is a style of Japanese film and television animation.. Anime does not only mean Naruto, Shingeki No kyojin, One Pice, Beach, Etc.

The problem isn't the size of the game. It is their methods for developing content.

1. No progression path the game has basically devolved into
-solo to 50
-do hunts for raid gear (because this makes sense)
-afk because they give 0 incentive to do any content after you have seen it.

2. Totally backwards progression when it existed (prior to 2.3)

-hit 50.
-do dungeons that give currency for armor 20-30 ilvls higher than they drop and are tuned for 20-30 ilvls lower than they drop
-do raids that drop gear the... same? ilvl as the dungeon currency (2.0-2.1 only)
-months later release a casual style raid (which was prior to release portrayed as actual "large" scale raid content) that drops gear a... lower ilvl? Than what has been available for months from solo queueing dungeons.

Then the kicker.

Every 2 patches we will totally wipe the slate and instead of increasing the amount of relevant content we will just replace it all. GG deleting relevant content every 6 months.


That of course is ignoring the whole "we spent months/years developing this game environment so you could walk through it solo once following yellow ! marks then sit in your favorite city waiting for queues because the open world is basically pointless" (Thank you blizzard for turning MMOs into this)

Definitely a nice CGI piece you chose for the song (this is not anime). I think the song fits the movie. Too bad we can sometimes hear the original audio pushing through your song at some points. I think it will give it that little more of a professional touch if you'd clean that up.

---

Regarding the "original audio" on the background, I did so intentionally, but I'll try to improve this anyways, Thanks for FeedBack!.

And the CGI you used in your video is not that style. Sure, it's of Japanese origin. But it's not anime just because it was animated in Japan.

FFXIV is not anime, no matter how much you think it is.

These are AMV:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L5656ekpH0
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syp_06j_5DQ
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B084zv59WwA

What you posted was nothing more than a CGI made by Square Enix with a music video in the background.

Gotta agree with that, they are pushing out content fast. But I think one of the key points the other poster made was the content was poorly developed. I mean let's be real, I have not seen a positive remark about Atma or Hunts. If I am overlooking these posts please link i'd love to see what positive there is in these new content developments. Honestly, I think SE would be better off not trying to be creative and keep leeching off other MMOs ideas till they have enough solid content to start "playing around". But that's just me.

Personally the content isn't the biggest drawback it's the slow paced got damn combat. Even mnk feels slow and clunky. But that's just my gripe.

On topic, good vid 7/10. Didn't really think that song fit but eh it worked out I guess.

Thanks for your sincerely Feedback. And of course, I will do better over the time alongside hard work and practice, and remember, an Airplane flies against the air, not in favor!

Dude, Do not generalize in order to win the dispute. You are going from the Intro movie to the Video game Franchise! FFXIV is the game, and its intro movie is a Japanese film.

Just curious. Good choice of song though, I rather like Imagine Dragons.

It is my first time since a long time ago but basically this is my second time. Anyways, Thanks for FeedBack!

PSDT: It was the end of an era, but ending with a new beginning. Not sure if u get what I'm saying.

Argue semantics all you want, the intro movie is a CGI. Feel free to think otherwise if it pleases you but that won't change the facts.

That's about what I got out of it.

OP: You are being too defensive especially on the first page... don't post stuff on the internet and ask for feedback if you can't take criticisms. ex - Calling people #FAIL because you don't like their opinion on your work.

Read carefully and you will realize that This "fail" is not because I didn't like his opinion. And well.. Call it offensive or Defensive, whether it is a negative or positive feedback I always try to reply back. nevertheless, Thanks for your FeedBack.

Just have AMV stand for Animated Music Video. Problem solved.

Hope you enjoyed, if you want, leave me your Feedback.

What made you choose this video as the intro to your YouTube channel? I'm just asking. I won't jump down your throat like others in this thread have done.

And you are just generalizing everyone in this thread. Some feedback is solid. I think you are just like one of those toxic figures.

Good question. More than an Intro to my channel this is an Intro to the FFXIV videos (Most of them of PvP) that I will be doing over the time, Thanks for Feedback.

One man's meat is another man's poison.

Good attempt but it would of been nice to see some action packed game play too. It honestly felt like I was watching the intro to the game featuring imagine dragons instead. I did like the action sync up but I feel like you could of done better. You also need to strip the song from the video material first or at least mute the parts that clash.

Like I said good attempt. Also no this isn't an Anime Music Video. I'd be more in line with agreeing with Gramul and saying to just call it an Animated Music Video.

...wait I always thought that was what it meant.

Anyways one with the question at hand.

I didn't enjoy it, the source song is great for the video but I feel you missed all the good ques to cut too and it just feels like you overlayed the song onto the video. I know the video itself is short and there isn't much material but it just feels lacking.

If you were to use some game scenes you would have had a superior library of action scenes to cut too and slow scenes to transition into, while I'm sure the inferior quallity between the GCI and the ingame cutscenes is jarring you could have done the entire thing with ingame cutscenes, but sourcing the video is obviously harder.

Valiant effort but overall I feel the end product isn't up to snuff. If your using this to learn, take every bit of criticism you see and apply it. Even the comments you might think are just ignorant trolling are still trying to critique. Filter out the hate and see what you can gleam from it, watch more source from your more experienced community members, see how they treat the source material and the song there is alot of room to get better but the only way to do so is to keep trying.

It's only a failure if you let it be, otherwise it's highly valued experience that you can't get anywhere else. Keep the passion grow the skill.

Although I think the music that you have chosen in the video fits somewhat to the message that it wishes to convey, have you considered a change to something a little bit more fitting?

If I may make a suggestion how about Hootie and the Blowfishes seminal 1995 hit "I only wanna be with you"? or possibly their smash hit "Hold my hand" or indeed any other song from their diverse and wonderful discography.

"Hold my hand!
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand!
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand!
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can "

So powerful

So uplifting

Right, because posting on a forum board defines who I am as a person and in a game.

That is how you feel not everyone feels the same, I kept it short and simple without saying I liked it or not and then you trash talk anyone else who doesn't type the way you do and you call us the toxic part of the community and the problem.

Everyone is allowed their own opinions not everyone is the same.

I just got around to posting back to you, sorry for the delay.

Say I posted a video that you created, I slapped some rock music over it and said I made this, what would you do? say I liked it or do the same exact thing I did and say hey you didn't make that I did and you put music over it, then should I say you are the toxic part of the community because you didn't like it?
