Yes! 1.0 opening is what we need
because it actually tell us something, unlike this trailer that jumping from one character/NPC pov to the other

CG trailer would be nice, but it takes months (years) to animate something like that. But then again, SE has surprised us before. Here's hoping we get at least one more ><

Excellent... emphatically excellent and epic.

And that guy at the end... could that be the mysterious Travanchet?

Also totally liking Gaius and his new "entourage". Not sure if they are some of the other Legati (are they twelve or thirteen now?) but their gear is quite spiffy looking... and I want.

OK, whew!! So much to see in that trailer. Music was epic. Seeing familiar faces and places (some even only in beta ;)): epic. Lots of new stuff (DRG limit break. Omega. Many more Legati. ...): epic.

Voices? Two issues for me. First is that most of what I saw in v1 was in text. So it was like a book: I had to imagine the voices, which as usual, differed quite a lot from the chosen actors. Second, the direction punched it up way past what I heard in my head. For me, there was also a disconnect between the intensity of the acting and what is shown on character faces. I even noticed this in the Japanese language.

End result, though: Win.
Better than v1's movie, mostly because I know that I'll be playing the game that I saw in the trailer.

P.S. Title graphics: epic as well.

The next full CG video I expect to see will be the opening of the game when it launches. We'll probably get to see it during phase 4 if it's ready by then.

Crowds at E3 want to see game play, and this trailer showed a lot of that and in game cut scenes. It was a good move by SE to showcase this.

Is there a german version? 0.0 Really want to hear the voices~

English Garuda sounds pretty good!
I am also curious about Gaius' group, the reddish flying thing and the guy at the end with the mask. Sooo excited! ~@_@~

HOW DID THAT BLACK MAGE SUMMON METEOR WITH AN ASTAROTH CANE?!

REVEAL YOUR SECRETS, TRAILER!

I've got goose bumps all over after seeing all that goodness... ~(o_O~)

I think a few voice over in the NA one sound bad but it seem like every other one sound fucking awesome :(

Not sure i think it's this one.

Who cares about Thancred (yes I know you do)? I want to know where Urianger is, damn it!

This trailer felt like a different style direction than what they've done in the past - a little darker, a little edgier. And I loved it!

The Empire looks badass.

Love the mix of cutscenes and gameplay.

Voice acting, finally! Kan-E-Senna, I approve! <3

Learning a few things, too. Until today, I thought Eorzea was pronounced, 'or-zay-uh' not 'ay-or-zee-uh' ;)

Overall, it just felt like this game has moved to a whole new level.

I can't believe no one is freakin out like me at the scene of the midlander floating in the aether with the rest of us around the Mother Crystal!

AHH! I want this game now!!

Hmm, am I the only person that thought the mysterious guy near the end in the cowl was Urianger?

It is hard for me to be objective with this trailer. This trailer is of MY game and I will play it regardless. Wild moogles couldn't keep me away. I'm going to love it no matter what! I watched the English version (only). I didn't like the voice of the narrator (way too deep, almost fake-deep). I'd really just like to be inside someone's head who this is the first they've seen of this game. Probably gunna go watch it a few more times... lol

No actually. That was my first thought too! Even the voice was spot on for what I imagined him to sound like! I guess we'll find out soon enough XD

German Kan-E-Senna is just a perfect fit to me!
Merlwyb sounds a bit different than I thought but not too bad (she rolls the R a lot xD)
Garuda is ok too, but her english voice sounds a bit better.
No go for me is Cid's voice ._. I think he's supposed to be 'aged' but it's a bit too much.

Oh, Gaius and the narrator remind me of Transformers /cough

It might not be "us" floating up there. Recognize the glyph under the Midlander? It's very similar to the glyphs we saw throughout the End of an Era cinematic.

Althyk? That you?

<snip>

When Louisoix set off the teleport at the end of End of an Era, we saw a similar magick glyph, but with Althyk's hourglass inside of it. That, my friends, may very well be the Midlander trapped in time limbo... meeting the Twelve... the guardians of Hydaelyn.

oh dear lord, I cant believe how bad voice acting is ;_;

That was my first thought as well. I had to watch it a second time to noticed that the mysterious guy doesn't have Elezen ears. My next thought was one of the 'Lambs of Dalamud'.

nah pretty sure that was us, kinda bland image design if it was suppose to be the twelve. Makes more sense that that is probably what us 1.0 people will open up with when starting the game, coming out of the aether and back in Eorzea.

Also, on the note that the dude in the end might be Urianger, that guy was a hyur not an elezen (no pointy ears poking out the sides of the cowl.) so not him, probably a new villain, perhaps a paragon? O.o

I find the voice acting good, but the quality and characteristic of those that should sound inhuman or modified don't; I find that a little offputting. The Amal'jaa and Ifrit are clearly humans speaking with human mouths and trying to change the way they speak; filtering them as they did with Garuda (perhaps not as intensely, given that she should sound like she's screaming in voices through the wind) would probably work out fine.

Again with Gaius, I think the acting is fine - but there's not nearly enough bass in his voice for it to have been broadcast through a metal helmet lined with respirators. Granted, I'm glad he has a different voice than just doing his best James Earl Jones impression this time around. I may have to stop calling him Judge Vader, now.

I'd like to hear it in-game in its proper context before jumping to conclusions about quality, especially considering that it's only been 3 hours since that trailer dared to defy the voices we've assigned them for 3 years.

Althyk - An austere emporer wielding a mythril greataxe

Austere - Adjective - Lacking in trivial decoration; not extravagant or gaudy

Y'never know! Just throwing out ideas.

Also, I highly doubt that the Spirit Roeg was a member of The 12.
There are numerous Crystals rotating around the Great Crystal, or whatever its called.
Those probably represent the 12

Calling it, he's an Ascian.

Guys, here's a little fact for you. Merwylb's voice actor also does the voice of Elenwen, from TESV:

Also Boethiah and Meridia

hahaha good catch... shows how hectic things must be on their end. I don't recall that part in the trailer what time was it? Might be a matter of gear/animation swapping?

That is why it is a trailer, not a movie. >.> This is the format most trailers have, a bunch of random scenes.

As for the red head, I just assumed that is the player stand in.

Thanks! I totally missed that one ^^

And I'm liking your idea about the Lambs of Dalamud...

Must watch again.... :D

Neat trailer. Some nice stuff in there... but wow, the voice acting has me cringing.

seeing as how he looks to be using omnislash V2.... id say it was a limit break....

I am more intrigued they completely dropped the FFX|V ARR tag, until the very very end small graphic. But they just kept Final Fantasy XIV. Also the weird | in X|V is gone now.

Cid with a beard is hot

WHOA, I for one loved that trailer!! So much feels!

-First and foremost, Gaius and his posse!!!
http://gamerescape.com/wp-content/bl...849fe0bb42.png
That looks like a Roegadyn on the left? If the Garlean legati are not just humans, I'd really like to see a bad ass evil Lalafell one. Preferably wielding a physical weapon so he/she is a different type of bad ass than Shantoto.
-We all knew the Primals are bad asses too, but the voices do a great job in bringing them to life. It was sweet getting our first look at the Titan fight as well.
-With so much epicness in the primals/Garleans, music and story, I actually really appreciated the flashiness of our abilities in this trailer. It felt like we as heroes have the power to stand up to all of this. It would've sucked if the bad guys talked to us in this large booming voice, and then we came in fighting with these puny abilities.
-Which would bring me to limit breaks which are looking awesomeeee! It seemed strange to me that DRG seemingly has Omnislash, but the abilities themselves look very cool. That black mage pose is pure win lol.
-As others guessed, it looks like that's Ultima Weapon at 2:00???
-By far one of the BEST things I love about this game and am looking forward to is it's story and cutscenes. This is teasing at SO many things. The fact that a legatus comes into the Path of the Twelve HQ and confronts Minfilia... oh man oh man.
-I interpreted the aether part as all the lil swirls represent all of us the players, coming out of the aether and starting our journey. Besides 1.0 players teleported from the last battle, every character comes out of the aether from character creation after all!
-My only guess for the mysterious man at the end is he's an ascian??
-The english va wasn't bad at all imo. That said, I'll probably play JP voices. But hey, thanks again SE for letting us make the choice.

All in all, What I loved most is that for the first time in a long while, we finally get a real glimpse of the story. I had this really special feeling when I saw/heard so many of the characters I've grown to love. Minfilia in her awesome redesign (which imo is A LOT better than her generic 1.0 design), cid with his manly man beard, the three GC leaders... I think it's really starting to hit me - man, we're almost there. Yeah we're trying out the gameplay during beta. But to LIVE and experience the game through it's story... We're almost there.

HEED THE CRYSTAL'S CALL.
