FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Opening Movie Now Live! (01/07/2013)

that video is just amazing, i cannot wait for ARR :D

In before complaints about the chocobo jumping.

So it seems all the players will start off at the meteor then... It seems like there won't be alternate perceptions of the game based on new players and 1.0 players...

This cant be all of the opening, it doesnt clear anything up at all.
I think i remember Yoshi saying that legacy players would get an unedited version, is this what he was talking about?
Abit disappointed, Bahamut/Louis not explained and Odin shows up out of nowhere. SE pulling a Lost or something.

That wasn't a nod to the meme...... The meme CAME FROM this movie... >.> Jeez, I really hope you're trolling.

Actually, it was already stated that while brand new players start off at their respective nations, Existing 1.0 players will start off in a special starter area.

Don't make such large assumptions based off a bit of CGI.

Yoshi said something happense after it goes white but this video seems to have ommitted it.
I recon this isnt the full opening.

Oh... I see... then I imagine that they released this as fanfare for current 1.0 users and so new players don't totally have no ability to see the 1.0 start...

Thanks for the News and Video.... now where is my benchmark?

Hmm, I was actually a bit disappointed.
To me the 1st (old) bit is epic and I loved it already before, but the new bit just seems a bit "just put a bit of everything to it" to me. It should have made me go "OMG NOW I REALLY WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT" but it didn't do that.

As a "opening movie" I don't think this play its role very well, but that's just my opinnion (and as we know everyone is a critic)
