The First, I've seen it somewhere before....

FF MMO Tech Demo 2005

FFXIV 1.0 Trailer

FFXIV 5.0 "The Crystarium"

FFXIV Shadowbringer Full Trailer

I recognized it immediately and was searching for this video. Thanks for posting!!

I though this drudged something up deep in my memory banks. Interesting.

#shameless bump

I love it, we’ve come full circle!

Thought it looked familiar!

Question is, well we finally get backpacks after all these long years?

It's also interesting to note a lot of the clothes the NPC are wearing are from the 1.0 trailer.

#positive post to get out of the muk

I actually posted this on the reddit forum yesterday because it was bugging the crap out of me. Another reddit user helped me remember and find the video :D

Yea I posted it when I first say the video but it's been dropping to page 3 in like an hour because of all the rage post O.o

It's worth watching the dev panel (which they included the English Commentary option as well) from Day 2 that was right after the Live Letter. They spend quite a bit of time talking about using the Rapture tech demo environment design as the inspiration behind the Crystarium, and show some of the process of making it for XIV - polygon models, textures (including tricks they use to save memory), mock-ups as part of the design, etc.

Tying up all the loose ends. The talk of Crystarium.
