Well thats a positive I suppose :o.

The few seconds in that sony trailer was CG from the trailer :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn4E-cvjsJo

found it! min. 9.26 .. prolly most ppl that saw this, didnt even notice it.. is the fastess collage in the video -.-"

Nice marketing :X

More importantly, we got to see Spike in action in Playstation All-Stars. Ape Escape was the greatest thing ever when the Dualshock came out.

(But yeah, show us ARR already~)

Where is this endless barrage of Final Fantasy 14 info we where to see all summer long? all we've gotten is one rediculously voice-acted CGI scene and one ok one. Thats no where near what we where told. everyone knows SE makes the best CGI movies so wtf is the actual game play. School starts up for many highschool/college kids next week and they will be busier focusing on school work that digging for ARR info. SE really needs to hire a new PR person or a community mananger to show them the correct way to advertise.The official website should be gettin updated weekly/bi-weekly w/ new content...ie story , ui changes , new concept art, new race models, slight teasers at new area re-designs w/ monuments. But instead we get 2 cheesy so fast u can barely watch them CGI trailers. One w/ the voice of some poor soul who was told by his family he could do voice overs well when indeed he sounded like a comedian mocking the trailer.

I agree, I was expecting an endless barrage of information all summer long too, but hopefully this will change very very soon this week.

Yeah. Like, take a chill pill Daddy-o. The good are comin' tomorrow, dig?

Here we go again with the " All summer long" thing again, We be getting our Barrage of Information within Tomorrow to the 19th. Leave it at that.. no point of QQ over it when the information is coming this week. @.@

No 2.0 at Sony.. watched it all.

Things like this make me angry, like why not? It will be a huge game for PS3. Like just put it out there. What's preventing them? Shyness?

and the PS3 Conference it's Sony's Decision on what to put on the Conference and what won't, Maybe it's something out of SE control ya know? at least it was VERY briefly mentioned in the Video Preview, but the Real Show will be Tomorrow through the 19th. You know at E3? They showed like 30 Screenshots and some information.

Well at Gamescom they will probably have more Screenshots ( an obvious Gameplay video), and a more detailed description on what FFXIV : ARR will be like.

I honestly wouldn't be to worried.

really makes no sense seeing the PS3 will be the major selling point to the reboot in Japan. Maybe they will throw it out at TGS but i highly doubt it at this point.

And to those of you whinning about my all summer long statement . I wouldnt mention it had SE not mentioned it themselves. While the summer still has many days left; the practical summer(time college/kids have off from school) is almost ended and we've only gotten 2 poor trailers and a website w/ no new info. So whats the deal. They need to be blasting people w/ new info week after week up until release if they want to keep the game hype for reboot. Its only common sense ;which isnt so common these days.

Forget the "All Summer Long" crap... Gamescom ( tomorrow through the 19th) you will be seeing your "Blast" of info as that's what they exactly said they were "flooding" us with information @ Gamescom. I really think its enough with this "All Summer long" >.>. Gettin' old.

I just hope that this "flood" of info is actually a flood, and not just a dripple.

It's like if your girlfriend promises you that you will be having sex all summer long.
Then you only start to get it on August 15, and then school starts soon. Wouldn't you be angry?

-.- this is not the same thing, not even remotely close.

Edit: And they Promised us the Flood is coming at Gamescom, not "All Summer long" The way the Rep said it was more of a "get ready for what ahead". that's how I took it, when other people took it like " We Should be getting info like Every week".

I agree.. It shouldn't have been said.. but I honestly think the way it was said.. It wasn't really ment what the words said. As the saying goes.. its not what you say, it's how you say it.

But really, with Gamescom being tomorrow.. why is there even bickering and complaining when the Information is like around the cornor? /shrug

What else is "getting old" is how SE tells us stuff then does not follow through. It happens time and time again, I've learned my lesson a long time ago...they are no longer Square Soft and its just...meh.

I feel the same way you two do btw...I've been saying it since they announced how they are waiting until mid august to do this. Lots of people, myself included are now far too busy with school and preparing, orientation, all the funnnn paper work involved with going to university. I don't have time to sit here and hunt down the 2.0 stuff.

If its on the forums or lodestone, great. If not...too bad, school comes first and SE just picked a bad time. No one I know is interested in it now...well they are but they don't have time.

Yeah exactly. If they said on August 15th then no one would really be upset/disappointed. I'd just say what I been saying...they picking the worst time ever but oh well >.>

I should've named my contest ring "All Summer Long."
Really have to include in ARR to remember for all eternity.

They originally promised "All Summer Long" with no mention of Gamescom. In fact they even chose, at the very last minute, to take away that trailer at E3 only to release it later with no flood in sight. There's nothing ambigious about their statements, though you could argue as to what "all summer" is. Not "the very end of it" though.

Because people are concerned, and rightly so. Something like this has never really been done with an MMO before, and in order for it to succeed their going to have to really raise awareness about the title instead of constantly appealing to a niche fanbase and leaving it at that. No matter what people argue about on these forums I think we can all agree that we want to see ARR succeed.

Overall? People are frustrated because SE is doing a terrible job marketing so far, and for all intents and purposes it doesn't really look like it'll change. Maybe it's too early to expect a full blowout, but the clock is ticking. I'm interested in seeing what's going to come out of Gamescom as well, but I'm really not expecting much. The company can say whatever they want, but given their history and what they've given us so far people have more than enough reason to skeptical.

I should've named my contest ring "All Summer Long."

It's similar. Okay, a flood or barrage of information, is equivalent to, mind-blowing toe-curling sex all summer long.

Anyway, I'm not flaming you, it's fine, I'm hoping tomorrow everything will change. I agree with you agreeing that they perhaps shouldn't be promising something that they can't keep.

Dislike! :(

I think it's similar yeah -- if I told my bf/gf that we'd have sex all summer long they'd expect sex pretty much all damn summer >.> -- In this regard summer is almost over and we haven't gotten much, but they did say after 'the flood' it will be weekly updates, now when that flood begins and how much of a flood it is? No one knows, it could be tomorrow, it could be thursday it could be the final day -- the point stands though, Sony not showing it for playstation 3 lineup, was a missed opportunity.

At least I give you yarn :D

I understand you why you feel this way, but all of that doesn't even matter now ( unless they don't flood us with information ), because tomorrow is the event in which is the "Starting point" ( in which the flood is the starting point), then after Gamescom we are suppose to get Regular Updates.

The past is the past, nothing you can say or do will change that fact, that's why I stress this, it's in the past lets all hug each other and make up tay? :D

I'm just really really freaking excited. Sure, we weren't flooded with info "all summer long," but tomorrow is HOPEFULLY the beginning.

I'm heading back to uni tomorrow morning, so I hope to god I get my unpacking done early. Then I have till Sunday to digest all the delicious info before school starts on Monday.

Seriously. To the people complaining about not getting a flood of info all summer long. Please keep in mind that ARR won't be released for possibly 6-8 more months. If they gave all of the info to us now, everybody with a short attention span (i.e. almost everybody in this day and age) would completely forget about the game by the time it's released. Then you'd complain about not getting any new info since the summer!

For Pete's sake, calm down, and let them roll out the info in a timed manner. It should slowly build to a heightened sense of energy just before release. Just look at the way the market movies. They start with some teaser trailers about 6 months before release, then full length trailers a few months prior, and then a full on marketing blitz with talk shows and such only like a week or two before release.

So, in other words, CHILL THE F*** OUT!

So what you're saying is a company who is remaking a product with the added promise of transparency, openness and following through on promises shouldn't be held accountable for not delivering what and when they say they will?

Instead it's up to us to develop a selective memory and let stuff slide like we did in the XI days?

Take your own advice! O_O

It's not that big a deal to release info many months before a game is released. In fact, it's pretty normal.

That was the shortest ARR blip i've ever saw!!!!
