Yep, this is the supposed flood ( Gameplay in itself is a flood) but I'm sure will get alot more information then just gameplay ( also a New Trailer! Full Opening?)

For those confused about the dates.

15th august (wednesday): Official start date - PRESS ONLY
16th - 19 august: Open for the public & FFXIV gameplay presentation
17th - 18th august: Signing sessions (I probably should sign up for one)

There are some press releases planned for the 14th which is one day earlier than the official start date. Compare it with the pre-E3 press releases.

Also I barely understand any german. Hopefully the presentation won't only be in that language but otherwise don't expect me to understand much what they will be saying.

I'm simply guessing that Yoshi-P will be holding the same presentation once every day. It's what kinda happens at gamescom. There are usually a few larger booths with a stage on it. Last time I went, ncsoft had one to present GW2 and their other mmorpg. That one more cartoony like. I went on a saturday back then and I basically heard that they did the same presentation once every day.

Obviously the first presentation would either be on the 15th or 16th. Depending if they decide to show it to the press first.

Edit: Star wars the mmorpg also had a stage back then where they were presenting their game.

Feel the same pain that we europeans have to endure for most of your games and gaming conventions!!! *evil laugh* Seriously, we're often the ones being left in the dirt when it comes to this.

The thing is US has about 10x the player base that plays these games. Based on the last goblin giveaway FFXI contest SE held, US got 10x the amount of prizes over EU players. Which would lead me to believe there is 10 to 1 ration of US to EU players.

I could see them wanting to promote there more but Germany where very few people play FFXIV there, if you look at the German forums on this site they are pretty dead.

I am sure everyone from entire US will be attending a convention in a particular city. Oh wait.. Dont quote me on this but i have read that gamescom scale is bigger than E3, I know i didnt even bother with this year's E3.

prolly true, but if you wanna win over the big crowd from
games such as WoW etc, you need to come to europe.
and well...germany is more or less smack middle of europe.

Just because its in germany dosent mean it only affects germans, it affects other
Eu countries aswell, such as russia, france, uk, sweden, norway, finland etc...
You know...region of the Vikings!

The fail is strong with this one

You can't compare XI and XIV player base. XI got its FR and DE translation way too late. WoW was already released in here when XI got translated. XI never got popular in France and Germany partly because of this, everyone was playing something else, we were on DAoC, WoW, etc. Because these games were already localized.

XIV got translated day one, so no handicap for DE/FR audience.

Yes, the info I needed. now I can plan my day at gamescom better. There are still other games I want to try out after all.

Also additional info about me getting pictures or filming things. I suddenly realised that they might forbid people to bring those inside. If that happens, you'll have to be happy with my smartphone doing all the work.

Where the details...? Least its gonna be TODAY!

Dont care about this unless it has some new info/images/ingame (not CGI) vids that I havent seen before.

you SHOULD care, because that's exactly what it has.

Beta registration? Does this mean we get to sign up soon? O:

Hello!

My apologies if my first message was not precise enough. The topic is only available on European Lodestone pages (English UK/German and French). To switch to English UK, please pick the corresponding flag located at the top right of the Lodestone page.

Thanks again!

And for those of you who are wondering about Yoshi-P’s scheduled presentation and real-time demonstration, unfortunately we do not have any plans at the moment to release videos or to do a live broadcast. We will however be releasing information through various media interviews, so be sure to watch out for them.

Kinda disappointed by this. Stop treating XIV the same way you treated XI, by keeping us in the dark and forcing us to dat mine to even find out info that the press have known for months.

Why wouldn't you do this? It makes absolutely no sense.
