The thread was made praising the new trailer, Rokien said that he's reserving his praise on it because of what it shows. I personally love the trailer, but I also admit that it brings hardly anything new to the table as far as gameplay mechanics go. We saw small clips of 7 players running around on chocobos, and hitting a few monsters...none of which showed any UI overlay, so we're to assume the battle mechanics are the same as they are now. We know that isn't the case, but it's a misleading video. Rokien shouldn't be seen as a "buzzkill" just for stating that he didn't find the video to be incredible. Discussions generally have more than one opinion...and this one happened to be one of his more tame ones.
I want to stress this...I love the new trailer. The new La Noscea (I assume) looks gorgeous, and I can't wait to see it for myself...but this video is very misleading. It shows no actual gameplay, just "in-game footage." Everything we saw in it could be done in the current engine, minus the Limit Break demo at the end.
