Yeah, I reported that to them too; I'm assuming it'll get fixed eventually.

Not sure if my body was ready, it looked really good tho. I am really happy!

It's a pretty epic trailer, then again so was the original one.

SE can certainly make them seem epic! =D

But you know, they really should invest into a different voice actor. He seems to try too hard- way too hard to sound uh.. grizzled? epic? I don't know what the correct adjective is in this case... but his voice does not work. The accent doesn't help either. Normally, I'm a fan of accents because they can add a flavor a scene/character/etc but this time around I just couldn't get into it. Which accent was it supposed to be? British? Australian? D=

Tbh, his voice really took away from the epicness of the cut scene.

Nonetheless, I can't say that I wasn't taken in at all. The cut scene (apart from the voice over) was really well done, much like it's predecessor. Will the game deliver? Well... I'm cautiously optimistic. ^^

SE is trying to appeal to the WoW/Skyrim type of players so it fits.

This same dude from the Original FFXIV CGI got his Serious Face on:

I imagine there's time for gameplay trailers later, like at major gaming events. This is just the first trailer.

Two tanks?! What is this sorcery!?

Soooo...most of the population of Aldenard is going to get wiped out by the meteor shower, yet all of us Adventurers are going to get teleported to the future. Then we all reappear and start kicking the crap out of the Garlean Empire. I want to see how this is going to play out...I was really hoping the Echo was going to be involved. I think I would have rathered us seeing everything as it's happened so far as a flashback or a look into the future and then we come out of it and the game picks up there.

IT'S A LEGIT STRATEGY.

Can we have trailer in slow motion so we can actually see what's happening?

Echo was a convoluted concept to be honest. The fact that there's Cavernous Maws in the .dats proves they're going the better route of handling something like this xD

I dunno, I'd see that as a huge cop out. Basically, we couldn't think of anything so it was all a dream. While the current explanation isn't leaps and bounds better there's at least some consequence to it.

I like how Mor Dhona isn't even spelled right with the pictures. Shame on somebody :p

Part of me is glad to see him back, but another part of me hates him because he was plastered onto the terrible box art for the original game. Hopefully we'll get some better box art this time around.

Then they should have hired someone with a manlier voice or some such? I mean really, I'm not complaining about the fact that there is a voice over. I could care less who SE is trying to appeal to.

What I'm complaining about is the compatibility of the voice over with what's happening in the cut scene. This is the second time they've used this man, the first being for the new FFXI expansion and he sounded kind of dumb there too. He tries to be too hard and as a result devalues the whole cut scene.

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!11111!!!111112234212!!!
TY YOSHIDA!! :'D!!!!!!!!
WE LOVE U XD

A Realm Reborn [Alternate Audio]

HOLD IT! What if we're looking at this wrong?

What if we're seeing the destruction of the world, and Louisoux sacrifices himself to send us BACK in time? Kinda like a Terminator concept.

The Garleans are invading, Baelsar is standing triumphantly watching the chaos, Ul'dah is in flames, Limsa is getting bombarded too...

This sounds WAY better. Makes it more dramatic/intense.

great trailer, it got the job done. People have it posted everywhere on the internet, and people know about the FFXIV: RR project.

The issue? Everyone still thinks this is the same game that was released in 2010.

OHO!

/10char

Omg corny voice acting ahoy! Really like the original trailer too and I thought it had great music does anybody remember?

This time around let's wait to see if this time around the gameplay lives up to these scenes.

Like I said before, from what it sound like, this is similar to what Fairy Tail did during the Tenrou Island arc.

A black dragon, Acnologia, nukes the island they were on, but the spirit of the first guild master puts them all in a time bubble (island included), so they reappear 7 years later not aging a day.

Not quite like Ocarina of Time cause Link aged 7 years.

God damn the Inception theme really does just go with everything doesn't it?

A new trailer AND Ul'dah in ruins? Can this day get any better?! :D

SE uses countless man years to produce a re-launch trailer.

Biggest gaming media online IGN reacts: Latest version update brings a new map system to XIV.

Damn. I can't help but feel like SE has a mountain yet to climb if they are to convince people that 2.0 is a bit more than a patch. Regardless of what you think of IGN:s quality this break in communication has alredy been seen by countless readers.

-Semi spoiler includes bits about new fight-

I could see something like, the one who sacrifices himself put a barrier around the three nations meanwhile the beastmen use their primals to defend their homelands. What may most likely occur in the next VU is as the catastrophe draws closer even though we may have been victorious we are unable to stop Dalamud from making an impact. So we are ordered to speak with the beastman an create an alliance to protect Eorzea a land precious to both of us. We may attempt to awaken Titan/Leviathan to use their strength to weaken the impact of the moon. Titan controlling the earth to reduce the impact of Dalamud, Garuda's wind to slower the velocity, Ifrit's heat to absorb the heat resonating from Dalamud and Levi's control of the ocean to cool down the rock as well as perhaps weaken the impact of any more meteors landing on Eorzea

But ya overall I do see the next patches focusing on creating unity between all the races to reduce as much of the damage as possible from Dalamud's impact.

Not really. If that had been the case they would have gotten someone who can actually do good narration. Like the dude that did the intro for Warcraft III, or perhaps Patrick Stewart. If we were about 30 years in the past I would say Orson Welles, too.

... That's not a horse... no horses I know look that epic...

You shall not speak ill of Sleipnir!

Thank you for posting this! So thrilled to have some new information. I am very happy with the look and feel of the site!

Thoughts on Trailer content:

1.Uldah destroyed?
a. That totally looks like Ul'dah goes boob and I would think that those ruins are Ul'dah. Ul'dah is round and so are these ruins.
b. "They said the City-States would remain relatively the same." How do you know they were not talking about the region rather than the actual city? Just theory, but, either way that looks like Ul'dah being destroyed.

2. We shall return
a. So Lousoux sweeps us into a time bubble while the world calms from destruction and we awaken to find ourselves in a new world.
- Okay so if only a few special people were saved the world must not have completely ended seeing as we will not be stepping into a barren land with minute signs of life and no government.
- I am really looking forward to the description of the story.

3. SNOW ZONE!
a. I request that /snowball is always available for use while in any zone that contains snow.
b. YAY!!!!!

Critiques:
As one person said, it still looks like the same old game. Yes and no.
1. It would be more enticing if you added the missing genders to the other races even in concept art form so that those exploring the site can see it and learn about it. We need to make sure we consider those who have not been following the game as closely as we are, the site would be their main form of information.

2. Posting the original concept art of the races is not a good idea. This brings us back to that above statement. We want these images to be fresh and new. Perhaps more screenshots of whats on Yoshi P.'s lap top and close ups of the races.

3. The trailer was visually stimulating but the trailer as a whole was diminished by the voice actor. Get the guy who did "It all began with a stone, or so the legend says." instead! There are more qualified individuals out their who's voice is more fitting for this.
Reasons:
a. He sounds nasally
b. His rough voice sounds forced
c. He sounds too young to be a story teller
d. He does not bring a feeling of epic-ness
e. He is not convincing

it funny how they re-used stuff from the old site.

Awesome trailer, really excited about 2.0.
