The original trailer..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrGQR...el_video_title

So - Titan cutscene is/was done...but no titan battle?
I wonder if they had planned Titan to be fought first but had
to change that due to how the story fleshed out.
Would make sense seeing as the 2nd primal fight will be out patch 1.20.
Quick dev time if making from scratch which im assuming not.

Discuss.

Titan has been in the .dats since beta, probably Alpha. Just because he was shown in the opening video doesn't mean he was meant to be fought first <_______________________> The storyline was also set in place with us meeting Ifrit first, not Titan....so again <______________>

That's why I said maybe he was developed to be fought first but the story went a different direction.
In the story line so far you don't see any cut scenes with people attacking Ifrit, no?
But in that trailer, somebody was clearly attacking Titan.
Which would quite obviously lead to fighting him.
It's not like they'd show somebody whacking him with an ax then saying
"well, that didn't work. Let's come back later in the story and fight him again"
I know he was in the dats.
so. -.-

Guess we should be having Demon Beastmen too since they were shown in the trailer herp derp

Why would you wanna fight Titan instead of Ifrit? Got a thing for loincloths? ^_^

Uhh, actually yeah. Showing off a trailer for something that isn't in the game
is on the verge of false advertisement.
If I saw tid bits of a movie trailer and half of the trailer wasn't in the movie...i'd be livid.

I'd like to fight both and more actually :P.
I think loincloths are more up Reinharts alley of expertise.

PersonA "This is /epicfail!"
personB "/epicfail...? THIS IS EEEOOORRRRRZZZZEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA!"

While the trailers are nice I'm not sure if I should compare something that was made prerelease to the real deal. Vid did give me goose bumps though.

Oh please half the time movie trailers have content that never makes the final cut. Ever went to see a movie because of "Insert awesome trailer scene" and then you never see it happen?

There's no giant sea serpent yet in the game either jumping over the boats, nor does a goobbue run rampart all of the time through Uldah... Oh, and I haven't seen mage casting a fire spell (or ice or whatever it was, it showed more in the opening movie I think), onto an archer so that he could shoot a flame arrow. And no one can cast that full shield around anyone (on the boat scene, the cat does it). And there's that giant tree that attacks people in gridania in the beginning too.

BUT... they did show up in the game... in the beginning cutscenes for their story introductions. Just because they're not in the game yet, doesn't mean they won't be slowly added over time, either, keep that in mind too.

I never saw any demon beastmen though? I know there were swarms of dragons fighting the airships if that's what you meant?

Nah, they're not NEARLY revealing enough for him. :D

The only concern is that in the trailer, a Lalafell has a Purple Robe and I do not. So WTF /sad?

(Other than that there is a lot of things in the Original trailer besides Titan that we have not seen yet, odd!)

We must have been intended to wear a purple robe before a white one since it was in the trailer! /gasp!!!

Same goes for one of those Velveteen Shirt type of attires.
I saw a purple one when I was doing "Culture Shock" and I want one!

Titan is R52 quest.

Also, in that original trailer, there is a small cutscene with Leviathan (?) in it which hasn't been in the game yet either.

One thing you gotta say about S.E, they sure do know how to make a damned good trailer. Not seen that one before and when the hyped up battle music kicked in I got a shiver down my spine XD

Also notice how during it there's a guy that looks like he's walking along a cliff-edge in Thanalan? Can't say I've seen that area in Thanalan so far.

Titan will probably just be included in a later patch, S.E needs to build up a player-base for the game first so it'd make sense to go for a boss such as Ifrit, that players are more familier with, in order to draw in the crowd. The next one may be Shiva, Titan, Odin or even Bahamut. (Though I can't see them using Bahamut this early in the game, he'd probably be way in the future when the game has built up a lot, so the battle against him can feel more epic)

At the opening cutscene if you chose Limsa Laminsca as your opening city, you see Leviathan leap over your boat, and you encounter him a few more times throughout the game :p

You won't fight Titan until they increase the level cap.

if you look at the "whats planned", it says in 1.20 the next primal fight will be ready.

Will there be R30 and R50 versions of the Ifrit battle? If so, then it will be possible as an R30 to fight Ifrit before the Paragons/Amaljaa have summoned him during the R38 questline.

If this is true, then it sets a precedent of fighting Primals before they're even part of the story. Titan could be the next primal in this case, despite the fact that he is supposed to come in R52 story quest.
