Lets get a little bit more down to earth.. middle earth?

:P

Anyway, if SE is showing the same types of videos by a month before release then you should be worried.. otherwise right now its just to give those not in alpha something to look at while they wait.

Talking about alpha videos, here's a few alpha videos from other MMO's so I think SE is doing it pretty well for the alpha stage:

WoW pre alpha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWHCE7mgMa8
WoW beta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmOzOQwsk_Q

ToR Alpha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqZyHFauiTQ
ToR Beta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e-Fl4D2NOE

Tera Korean Open Beta (couldn't find alpha): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q47kC...LEUBQ&index=35

FFXI beta trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GiAJj3mHRs

Also notce in most cases (Aion, Guild Wars 2, Warhammer Online, etc) I cannot even get alpha videos, but still you get the idea. ARR is looking really good, and they even are saying that everything from graphics to animations to the combat system will improve frm here to the beta then to release. Honestly I think Square PR team is doing a really great job.

Also for the nostalgic ones, remember the goose bumps?

I'm sorry to hear that, but I rather enjoy their videos and Appreciate that they are even showing us anything.

Its this attitude that made 1.0 so bad in the first place. I appreciate the videos as much as the next guy, but I think i speak for a good portion of players when I say I learned my lesson. Criticism should be always welcome.

I don't like the videos either, but that's because I'm biased. No Black Mage, no interest.

In 1.0 they didn't make as many videos as they did for ARR. In fact the only video we saw in 1.0 was the Alpha/Beta Metamorphosis. This is Alpha were talking about we got 5! Alpha Videos, and if I recall we truly didn't see much alpha footage at all ( correct me if I'm wrong w/ links please ^.^).

In ARR, they have shown Videos (5)/Screenshots / Dev Blog. In 1.0 we didn't have much of this ( I believe we did see SS of 1.0 Alpha in some degree) but not nearly as much as ARR.

They have been communicating more effectively this time around.

and the "Main" reason why 1.0 failed is because Wada forced the game out too early, and delivered a half cooked game. It has "nothing" to do with this "attitude"

excitement you can have this. :)

I haven't even bothered watching the videos, because yea the titles alone make them sound boring to watch.

Agreed any game company can rush out its games and hope for the best, I love the fact that Yoshi-P and crew are working to make it better then before. Yes its Alpha, Yes its stress test and sever load, but everything they are doing on with the data and player base input will help make it better!

They are just alpha preview videos... just to show that they have indeed been working on something. Complain when the gameplay videos near release suck.

THe video's don't show the fight system well at all. OR the varied areas, camps and sanctuaries. Yet you need to experience it.

It's a great improvement over 1.0

And boy, believe me people will find away to say it sucks.

I agree SE needs to be real careful with what they release. I am glad they are releasing videos. But that quest/battle video they released is getting very very negative reviews on mainstream mmos sites.

I am reading alot of post about people already giving up on the relaunch because "the battle system is still garbage" according to them. Which is sad because we have honestly seen almost nothing with it yet, but people are taking the video as what the combat and game will be like. SE needs to explain things better to the public who is not sure the game deserves a 2nd chance.

Probally just alot of trolling but the general population knows almost nothing with the game. We need some really flash videos showing solo game play, group game play, dungeons, and such not what we just watched.

Alpha... Low level cap... Limited areas...
*Head explodes*

Are we really going to have this discussion here? It is just a picture.

Your personal problems are not my own. It is just a picture, not even a really funny one either. I just picked the first thing I found on Google. So, blame Google, it could of been a cat in a wizard hat, unless you take offense to that also. Always have to blame "something" when these personal offenses occur, right?

It's a Kid that not very Attractive and it's Meme of this kid. Use at least simple logic before posting memes like that.

"Your personal problems are not my own" While that is true, It would be courteous even to take it down and put a less offensive meme up. Just seeing that makes me reflecting on something that happened in my childhood I rather not speak of. Common Courtesy.

I don;t get offended much anyways, but when I do I speak up about it. Thank you

Edit: Also, put yourself in that kids shoes and him seeing that all over the internet. That's all I'm going to say about that.

You may think this is a pointless convo. but to me it had a big effect in my life.

That's all I ask and I'll shut up about it

As an alpha stress test (which SE couldn't "stress" enough that's what it is...pun intended) there isn't really much to show. I like it that we are getting to see something of the game even when its not finished.

Has anyone pointed out that these are alpha test videos? Basic point being to see how many people they can get to all jump around or fight in the same area on all worlds so that crashes like the end of an era event never happen again... After they are satisfied the servers won't blow up they'll delete everything & start beta where more of the game will be available. Oh and if your complaining about the battle system read what's said in the dev post that released the last one.

the battle system is currently undergoinge battle system is currently undergoing significant revision, including changes to all significant revision, including changes to all damage algorithms and the claim system. damage algorithms and the claim system.

It's alpha, be grateful they're showing us anything...

Don't you know? Apparently playing 1.0 elevates us to become share-holders of the game or something, in which SE has to meet every single one of our petty demands which make no logical sense as well as ignoring blatant information they HAVE given us. Welcome to Entitlement-1.0.

Well given that Yoshi believes Square-Enix as a company is on the line for this to succeed... He's not going to release it until he's satisfied, he's just giving us enough food to keep us in the stables.

I think it's because some of us check it everyday to see new updates or new posts or new discussions or new whatever. But it's like looking at your watch every minute waiting for an hour to pass by thinking it will go by faster but never does. In fact always seems to go slower.

Removed it to prevent further discussion on it.

Also like I said, your personal problems are not my own, and I would ask that you not express them within a forum who's base of discussion is Final Fantasy XIV and other media involving it, not personal feelings of yours towards a picture.

Next time you can simply request for me to remove the picture, you don't have to give a reason, and I wouldn't bother to ask.

Also hot shot, I would edit your quote with the picture in it. :P

Unfortunately this is very true.. I haven't posted in years,only posting because I have allot of time to kill & think all nit picking on a server stress test program is pointless, the game testing starts with beta & given the way yoshi has handled the game we can probably expect to have a lot of player polls during beta for opinions on every aspect of the game & again given he thinks if ARR sinks so does Square.

Wont be released until the man's happy & he will want to hear opinions during beta,
As foot opinions on the grass or flashy lights in alpha, shouldn't really give a ***k,
People should wait for beta, apply & try to help make it a good game

Also no idea how my last post came
up twice, sorry.
