TGS 2012 Trailer is back up!

I would rather release no trailer at all than a trailer with actual lag in it! I don't think i've ever seen such a thing before. There had better be a gooood reason for doing this, and even if Yoshi releases an explanation, folks who do not follow the game like that still will not know and just think square is releasing crap and still have a bad taste in their mouth for the game.

I noticed 2 slight lag/glitch effect that were hardly noticeable. The enviroment looks like crap?? wtf, it looks fine to me. Why is nobody mentioning how much sweeter the gear looks on our characters now, everybody is just nit picking about small BS, and not even savoring the good stuff. what happened to the days of fun content and hours of endless play before graphics. Kids these days don't know anything about games , if it doesnt look good it's shit..what kind of theory is this


also, judging by all the playstation trademarks and logos at the end after saying coming soon.. I would guess this is the ps3 version.. the pc icon was off hiding in the corner n stuffs lol

I think some of us are coming off in a negative light because Yoshi-P, especially at E3, held back a demonstration/trailer because it wasn't up to what he considered the top quality that he wanted shown off. He said unless it was exactly the Final Fantasy XIV vision he wanted ingrained into people's minds, that there was no point in showing it. Then we saw this video, and.... it just seemed underwhelming to say the least. The limit break trailer just seemed much more epic and fluid. I'd share the lb trailer on facebook or to friends to sway them into subscribing much sooner then this one, even if it is the "PS3" trailer. When i read a new trailer was released, I got very pumped. But this one just dissapointed, just my opinion I'm afraid.

although i don't envy the stress that the 2.0 team must be under, the deadline they appear to be under seems forced

You're joking right? ALL of the in-game footage (except for the bits copy/pasted from the limit break trailer) are running at terribly low frame rate.

Seriously watch it again, it looks like its running on a toaster or something.

And even if YOU are willing to forgive them or whatever, remember these trailers aren't really for you and I, they're for marketing purposes, they're supposed to entice and excite new or returning players.

The limit break trailer was something cool and exciting that I gladly showed to all my friends who were even slightly interested in the game.

I really wouldn't show this trailer to anybody to be honest.

looks like its running on a laptop thats borderline netbook, they really need to rethink showcasing a flagship product on such a system, spend a few bucks on something decent

I am not worried about the game lag wise because I seen actual game play and it is more then acceptable especially this far out. But releasing that trailer PS3 or not was a stupid move by SE I give it a 4/10 at the most due to the issues with it.

IF se wants to show off different setting levels they need to do them side by side or hq then LQ. Or PC and PS3. there is no wording on what this video is and almost no one makes Low Quality trailers. The average person on the internet will see this and be instantly turned off.

As others said this would be something you do not want to show to people, it makes the game look like the same garbage as 1.0s release with a new world.... the exact opposite they want to accomplish. Releasing a trailer that is anything but 100% polished will hurt the game in the long run.

I think you're hitting the right points here.

Sure it's good that current players like XIV but trailers are meant to woo in new players. I don't think this trailer did anything but reinforce the stigma surrounding this product.

Well those of us that know better will just have to enlighten new players. I know we shouldn't have to but it is what it is ya know?

I think they were playing FFXIV on a weak PC for that video :P. Couldnt handle the new gridania area very well.

This isn't the first time I have seen a laggy trailer like this. Square released a FF 13-2 trailer that was really choppy to. It really isn't the game. It's not just Square though I have seen trailers for other games like it to, usually when there is a major games event, perhaps it was just rushed.

Didn't catch it the first time X)

Over all I enjoyed it. Yeah some of it was re-used, but I'm a sucker for the music X)

I still say that if they really wanted to show off jumping, even while on a Chocobo, there had to have been a better way to do it than to just randomly have them jumping for no apparent reason while running down a path... Unless all chocobos are uppity in nature now X_x Perhaps having them jump some obstacles, like a fence segment along the side of the road, or something...

EDIT: Heroes of Eorzea, the time is now! - Coming Soon.

On the bright side, disregarding the lag, it's a good measure for players who might have low-mid range specs. :)

I hope the saturation is slider or something because I'm not particular a fan of the "deeper" color thing (someone made a comparison video, big difference was saturation). The natural flow of colors helps keep the eye seamlessly moving from object to object.

It's not a slider (why would it be.. let alone why would they oversaturate for a screenshot? lol) It seems like it could just be missing some shaders in action, but if that's not the case......

Btw there has been a responce on that trailer and I already called it on this thread IT'S OLDER footage

didn't exactly say it was that old but that was the meaning i was putting into that 3 months thing.

Thank god that's apparently old footage, because that pretty much looks like Team Fortress 2 lol

But but but I sort of called it! lol

(I said the photo with the guy next to the aetheryte looks like early closed alpha).

@Kluya:

Thank god indeed lol - even people who usually kiss the ground SE sneezes on were worried.

lol i know it's still funny though i think it's even older than that they put it together as a little thing of conceptual rather than factual. ^_^ I wasn't really worried much because even then I have faith in the company =P

I was right :D The lag didn't seem to be normal

I was right. Blue Gatorade does turn your poop green.

Well 2 things came out of that Trailer that were good:

1) We got to see a couple new areas in the game ( Sorta) and man were they B-E-A UTIFUL!
2) Dat music from 1:34 onward.. gave me the chills down my spine. ( I like the beginning too <3)

La Noscea looked...just as bland as it does now. I really hope it's a work in progress, and not a "We've only show Gridania because that's where we dumped all of our efforts into" sort of deal

It is. They said it was a trailer made with older stuff.

It could also explain why this version looks more cartoonish compared to other videos.
