Well I'm going to deal with my anger in a completely safe and healthy way

By playing prototype two and killing innocent civilians.

I'm picturing your face on

every
single
one.

Back to the topic, this comment from the last producer's letter worries me:

It’s all going to be coming gradually as part of A Realm Reborn’s marketing leading up to release. I know that’s a bit longer than some of you would like to wait, but I hope you’ll bear with us and keep an eye out for it all!

As usual what he says is very up in the air, and things can be interpreted in many ways, but to me it sounds like we won't get any (at least official) gameplay footage until a bit closer to the release.

The flood is a lie. :)

The "keep 'em hungry approach", eh? Missed opportunity if you ask me....

by them saying all this and stalling. I honestly don't think the game is ready. and we won't see a release till spring of 2013

in the german forum they said theres no live stream planned of the ffxiv/ video presentation :(

I'm sure we will, if not I will choke a Snurble!

look at this shit

http://uk-microsites.ign.com/ign-pca/


FFXIV is not even on the voting table for this, and yet

we have this going on

https://p.twimg.com/A0PtbjSCYAA4mwv.jpg:large

while i know we can eventually youtube all the footage etc later on, I do agree that they really need to be more aggressive with their promotion of the game. would make me feel a bit more confident if they acted more confident themselves >.>


ooohhh! dint see that big ass panel thingie before i posted this maybe they are just trolling us >.> maybe....

Maybe because it's not playable yet......?

So please clarify for me, will we see gameplay footage at all during this Gamescom period Aug15-Aug19 ? Will the footage be from SE or from fan's video on youtube?

"Soon", "on the way"... It's all the same mindless and pointless crap we've been hearing "all summer long".

There will be no official footage by SE (according to the community rep). We might have fan footage is someone is kind enough to record some for us.

guess well just have to wait till the weekend is over and see what we actually manage to get outta gamescon FF XIV wise, hopefully we can has some cake...

Hmm that's disappointing. But the way I read it was, there won't be any live streaming. Does this also mean there won't be gameplay footage at all? Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

That's exactly how I read it too No live streaming, but its very possible to still see Gameplay Videos ( from SE that is)

I hope we're both right, because I've been waiting for Gamescom purely for the reason of seeing some gameplay footage. I was expecting a 45 minute footage stream, but now I'm happy to just get a 3-4 minute footage.

If we have to settle our expectations to that low, that means SE really must step this up.

I hope were both right too, at the very least there will be like a Gazillion Screens from the Public that will be incoming. It's only the start of Gamescom though and today is only Media Day, tomorrow through Sunday is public, will see If we get 3-4 min of Gameplay I be happy too.

However the flood of information that's been promised to us doesn't come for Video Coverage, but when Questions are being asked Yoshi-P Shouldn't be dodging any of them.

But I still want the GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE!!

Thank goodness Mr. Flan is physical damage resistant... I'm punching my screen so hard now!

Absolutely ridiculous....

The quote specifically says NO VIDEOS OR LIVESTREAMING. Of course it's unclear (as usual) if no videos means no videos of the event or no footage at all.

The quote itself is merely speaking of yoshi presentation, so i would hope he's speaking of that.
I really hope :X but even if no gameplay video now, i'll be happy with just infos. In a disappointed way, but happy

I really don't understand what the big deal is for wanting to see gameplay so bad that it's ruining everybody's week. We've just seen a boatload of very telling screenshots that will tell us so much more than some 3 minute video of some quest being completed. The majority of impact that live gamplay will give us current players is how responsive the interface and battle system is as compared to 1.0. You cannot gauge that responsiveness from a game you are watching and not playing. Therefore, wait until you can get a hand's on, and you will get a much better experience than watching some youtube video.

But that's what mostly everyone is interested in along with any new battle mechanics.

I do hope the Rep post was specifically about the live presentation, but some kind of disclaimer like "...but we'll still have some gameplay videos for you" would've been a good idea if they actually have plans for that; just saying "nope" and leaving hopeful assumptions otherwise...isn't wise.

I'd usually be on the defensive side (not that I'm angry or upset by any of this), but there isn't much summer left for the summer full of information etc., so I think people getting upset is kind of justified. Considering what the game's been through (development, reception, and player base-wise), I don't think it's a good idea to make promises that you can't properly keep/are easily misconstrued, at the risk of making staff-player relations worse.

If more time is needed, for goodness sake, take it; it doesn't matter if you liked the old team or the new team, old system or new system, everyone can agree that FFXIV 1.0 came out before it was ready.

I don't usually agree with you.. but I agree with this, most people are usually saying " GAMEPLAY SE, NOT THIS CGI CRAP".

I completely agree. I don't mind them taking longer, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when it's not properly explained. Take as much time as you need, I wouldn't mind you taking another 2 years to complete it to a satisfactory level, but for the love of god COMMUNICATE.

It was FFXI's weakest spot, and it's a big weak spot for XIV too.

For me, I want to see the responsiveness of the UI, responsiveness of chat , and interaction with NPC, selling items, putting things on retainer, putting skill on my skill bar, deleting item, stacking item / destacking items, crafting.

The responsiveness and the lack of lag is what I'm expecting. Battle system and combat is not really that game breaking for me, I can manage. But server lag, responsiveness is a huge deal, because all other MMOs I've played before do not have this lag problem.

Like for example, in WoW, you can sell 60 items at npc in less than 30 seconds, click boom click boom click boom, sold.

This is by far the worst Decision you could have possibly made. How do you expect to build excitement if you wont let anyone see the game?
