Gameplay Video ( of the Presentation) is up!

Can't wait for yours and even more video in higher quality videos! :D

I can't believe that in all these days we just got that one! :mad:

And even more, i really can't understand why SE can't record an official

1080p video to put on the teaser site. Even my phone can register in 1080p. :(

Here is a video.. a bit better you can realllly see how flat the grass is =D

Here is a better video than the previous one ^^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjqmc...=youtu.be&hd=1

I think this is the better quality we can have from a screen unless Square release a clean ingame video ^^

Hope everyone had a fun and enjoyable weekend!

We have a lot of pictures from gamescom to share with you :)

Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that now that gamescom is over the next thing the team will be focusing on is the FINAL FANTASY 25th anniversary event. The plan is to release a recorded version on our YouTube channel as soon as possible after the event with subtitles for our North American and European players.

Hope all went well at Gamescom! :cheers:

While it was disappointing that there wasn't an official version of the Gamescom gameplay from you guys, at least you heard our complaints and will provide an official video for the FF 25th Anniversary event. Thank you and looking forward to it

Yoshida gave his autograph to lightning, heh.

I wonder who that was dressed in the Bard artifact armor. :rolleyes:

There are plans for a stream on Niconico, however, it will be in all Japanese.

What time will the stream start? I'll probably watch anyways and try to follow along. :O

Do you know if this will be a subscriber only or region restricted stream. Hoping it will be an open stream so I can watch live.

Will watch the niconico stream on my PS Vita since I have the app for it.

Yoshida's hair is so "Final Fantasy".
He actually looks like a character.

niconico is notorious for poor quality dropping streams..................... and to add to that very difficult for non japanese to navigate.

why isnt it being streamed on youtube live event like the previous ones at least the youtube live-event is alot better quality and more dependable.
some people will end up having to wait a better half of a week for the information to be uploaded to youtube most likely. Not very wise to alienate part of the player base by using niconico.(myself not included)

Better than nothing

I'm sure somebody will be able to translate it for us. :)

Nico² is in partly in EN now, what used to be "hard" is now easy to navigate. (Account creation, login...) Not like you need anything else just to watch something.

that's useful.

I'm sure someone will translate it but se needs to stop relying on others to do that.

Oh god yes! I would definitely go to that if SE shows up. :O

You have translators. Why can't you create a second stream with english commentators?

I admire the efforts some people put in doing things only halfway. ONLY halfway. God forbid they actually walk the full mile.

I'm not accusing anyone specifically, so don't feel targeted by the remark, Camate, it's not specifically directed at you. It's just that Square Enix as a whole seem like they WANT to do some PR, WANT to promote the game, but only come out with half-baked solutions such as JP-only video streaming, doing live presentations but refusing to film them, or putting up a new website and then fail to update it regularly.

Their strategy is just not meeting expectations and causing frustration more than anticipation.

Yep, they also will :P. When they get a Stream channel it's not good enough for them, Gameplay? Not good enough. Screenshots? Not good enough? I think they love to complain. ( inb4 they start complaining about my post) :P.

YOUR complaint didn't complain enough about Starlord's complaining about complainers complaining about anything they can complain about that is hardly worth complaining over.

Feels like we get the short end of the stick quite a lot in this game.

Latency issues for non JP players, maintenance times are between 2pm-8pm prime time, and now the 25th event is only on NicoNico (until translated and uploaded on YouTube.) :/ Will the LIVE letter be the same way?

People over exaggerate the Latency problems all the while ignoring graphical lag is what a lot more experience than network lag.

yes some people do over exaggerate the latency issue but i for one have a great PC and a almost always dependable HIGHspeed connection and yet i would suffer alot from latency problems in Ifrit fight. The whole deal is the entire games coding/server structure is/was ass. I died a many times to eruptions and plumes when i was miles away from them and responded to them immeadiately. Always just set chat to show monster actions and really payed attention yet i would often die to latency problems. But anyways anytime u have a monster tossing out timed actions at you; and there is latency problems and the servers the info is being sent to is half way across the world your at a huge disadvantage. This MMO brings it even a step further because of how taxing it is on your PC. Alot of people try to play this game w/ underperforming 5+yr old PCs that just cant keep up or have the power to play the game in general. We'll see during beta testing how well thsi new can play on almost anything graphics engine works for us i find it hard to swallow that a lousy i5 cheap laptop alone can play ff14 so well but who knows ?I wont be surprised when people start testing and complaining that they are gettin poor fps and stuttering on there cheapo laptops lol.

I really dont see how how its possible to over exaggerate the latency problem in XIV, its so bad.

If you play XIV and then play another modern MMO it is immediatly obvious XIV has huge problems with latency.

there is tons of videos of latency problems on FFXIV on youtube also. I remember seeing one guy with 2 computers spinning around one of his char while the other char was view that spinning char differently.
