That was actually a terrible commercial. I learned nothing about the game besides it had a moogle in it. It looked more like It would be a game where you played as a monster working for the moogle.
So...once XIV is in agreeable condition by all players/parties involved: commercials?

Maybe, but it still featured characters that were actually from the game and got people interested. A few gameplay snippets before close would've been nice though.

SE seriously needs to do this with the PS3 launch to turn some heads. The really popular MMOs advertise on television, and it works. Late last fall, I must have seen an ad for WoW's Cataclysm expansion once every hour for two months.
Advertise it... and they will come. -

Anyone remember these for FFVII? We need more like them. This is what you call a successful commercial in my opinion lol
Isn't ironic that in this commercial the narrator said it wont be in movies? lol
