Yeahhh nice one =)

In the meanwhile GW2 has:

90.96% Score based on 25 reviews (gamerankings) ...

I really hope that they're going to fix the frame rate issue in the trailer at least..
(Cuz the video montage itself isn't that great... 90%+ of old footage.. )

Know what else ranked high and still failed? 2 guesses.

Frame rate issues aren't really that big of a deal. I mean you can see them here too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNtB5DoJ6OI

The problem is - unlike in the video quoted above - SE have yet to really show anything worth seeing or getting hyped up about (which last time i checked was the point of a trailer?). So there's basically no redeeming features on display to alleviate whatever misgivings people would have toward the technical aspects (like fps rate) of a game that's obviously still in alpha. There's nothing really to draw anyone to the game besides slightly downgraded Version 1.0 graphics.

Don't worry, "It's just pre-alpha" and "Don't complain, they'll show us everything that will make it stand out from the pack in due time!"

Meanwhile, I'll download Eden Eternal and get the same gameplay experience.

*facepalm* /shrug

I hope so, some of the frame drop sections were horrid.

It also had that terrible, TERRIBLE emotional storm of faces bit which makes absolutely no sense just put there on it's own (hell it looked terrible the first time around).

Really the one redeeming thing was the music, everything else about the trailer was either seen before or sub-par.

Waitin' for t' new one so I can share since its Talk Like a Pirate Day and I want t' post ARR on Facebook!

i hope Bayohne, Rukkirii, ... have pushed the emergency button

This is pretty funny coming from someone who praises FFXI to be the most original MMO ever.

This.

I have to say that if I were an outsider to XIV I wouldn't be excited about this trailer for those reasons.
As a XIV enthusiast it still makes me cringe a bit because of those non-forest areas look the way they do and even as a player I don't avtually see any visible changes to the battle system aside from that now-milked overdrive.

It's cool but not news headlines cool or preorder day 1 buy-cool.
Also pr time is running out. XIII games were promoted for almost a year but XIV has few months to release.

This is funny because I've stated numerous times they've used EQ as the base for it while throwing in FF elements, especially of FFIII nature.

I agree 100% with this analysis. God do I love III especially the one where Akihiko re-did the characters.

News Flash! 2.0 has never had a chance to accomplish 'preorder day 1 buy-cool.' Never even remotely a consideration. They are trying to improve a horribly conceived and executed game. Oh by the way, in under 2 years. "Great result" is out of the equation. All that SE can hope for is a redeeming of the game. Bringing it to the level of XIII (not critically acclaimed) is the cap. This perspective brought to you from a fan, btw.

People need to reset their expectations about this game because they are getting unrealistic, again. Major systems, battle, armoury, class/jobs, etc will all remain relatively unchanged. Throw in better servers, some FF classic elements, and standard MMORPG quests/progression and there you have it.

Those expecting some innovative gameplay should look elsewhere.

Why are you still on these boards then, if you hate everything so damn much?

Never said I expected that. In fact I agree with pretty much everything you said there.

Unless I see it and play it isn't there. That's why I don't buy this "oh that's only temp assets they're showing in an international trailer"-stuff.

News to me, I thought this communities logic rested on:

"People don't post about what they like."

Least, this is what people use to justify the negativity about XIV versus the oh so happy in-game community.

It's Elexia. He/She plays out the "I'm negative about this game" persona. I wouldn't worry about it. He/She will pay for the subscription like everybody else. Do yourself a favour and block them.

I dunno, personally I tend to think of her as the blunt fistful of truth to people that are too busy covering their ears and denying everything. The signature image fits so perfectly.

The thing is, Does she herself Accepts truth when its a negative thing? The world may never know! :p

It looks as if the shading for characters up close are sort of blocky. I'm going to miss the look and level of detail we currently have. But want this sweet gameplay at the same time. I'm torn between the two! ; ;

Indeed I do, but I'm not going to turn a blindeye to anything. "Oh they may downgrade the graphical appeal of the game but it progresses the game!"...So it progresses the game you'll willingly overlook anything? This is what people hated in the 90s even though gaming was still young, people hated developers not sticking with standards and giving us gimmicky games that were all hit or miss for the sake of trying to not be an exact clone of x game. This is why the said hits were good because rather than taking steps back, they got on the same level and took steps forward.

Would you praise SE if FF Versus XIII was far inferior to FFXII or even XIII "but it has airships and an open world!" ?

Basic on logic I've seen, you can't have both even though many other offline and online games try to do that.

I'm the first person to point out things that I think are legitimately wrong in ARR. hell I had to deal with a ton of flack because I thought the textures looked really bad initially.

But then there's being overly negative about everything. It cheapens the actual things that need fixing, because SE are looking to re-implement arrows for the minority.

Lots of posts for a video that was taken down by SE after being up for a very short period of time. If we got footage of Yoshi scratching his ass on a video that wasn't meant to be released, could we discuss that for 7 hours too?

Jeeeez at least wait until we get the one we are supposed to, THEN trash it. There is an order here people !

This team sometimes creates videos with crappy frame rates and quality, but this is an actual trailer. /facepalm

For crying out loud, the development team has reworked an ENTIRE game in ONE YEAR! Many may not... but I for one am going to cut them some slack.

BAH! I wasnt able to watch this trailer...but I'm nervous TO see it with all the negativity flying around here...but then again this is the lodestone...

You're kidding right? Please tell me they're not going to do something this stupid because of people who don't understand the benefits of making arrows built-in to their respective bows.

Oh, you mean kind of like they always seem to listen to the vocal minority in regards to XIV? Why the fuck would you be shocked?
