Well, i just finished watching a certain (amazing)"bat" movie and i noticed before the movie previews they were showing video game trailers (while the lights were still on). I was thinking "maybe they should show 2.0 trailer during this time" , Especially before The Hobbit which is coming out on December, basically around the date of 2.0.
what do you guys think?
a great way to advertise FFXIV 2.0

Actually advertising the game would be a great first step.

Wouldn't you need to actually release information to advertise something?

I hope they have advertisements somewhere along the line. I remember a commercial for Japan.

If they are planning one I hope it shows plenty of gameplay. (thats just me)
For the OP: I think it would be interesting to advertise this game at the movies, it would get the chance to show alot of people. -

Get a couple of these
Dress them up like Miqote wearing shirts that say "Final Fantasy XIV" on them. Have them jump up and down, roll around, and act cute for a 30 second prime time commercial spot. End it with a link to ffxiv's website. Watch millions of copies sell. -

To spread awareness on this game, I think it would be a great idea if a trailer for the game was shown before the movie started at a theater. They do it all the time with some other games like Call of Duty and such.

This game has already gotten less ads from SE than XIII and XIII-2. Even if they started now it would still not be as much of a marketing push those games got.

Advertising the game goes against SE master plan of keeping the game secret from the rest of the world......
-

Good idea.
-

I think the OP idea is a good one. Another would be to target the FFXI audience, and perhaps send emails to those who have unsubscribed to the game.

When I was first playing this like close to 2 years ago I would tell all my friends that SE should hire Chuck Norris to do a funny ad...
Then WoW did it and I cried. -
07-24-2012, 11:35 AMVirtuso
Yup, it'd be a good idea. I remember years ago hearing about a Metroid Prime commercial showing up in movie theaters. Before the lights go dark. The ad methods been around for a good while.

I think the Hobbit would be the idea movie cause it's like a high fantasy movie, just like the game. Come yoshi go hardcore on advertisement!
-
07-24-2012, 09:10 PMlordvrYou have no idea how super expensive that probably is. I doubt SE will have a budget like that to advertise a dying game lolQuote:

I first heard about XI on a tv commercial. I remember how excited I got the first time I saw it. Why hasn't XIV had the same level of promotion?

SE traditionally has not needed to do a lot of 'mainstream' marketing. they announce something and the fan base spreads it for them. (at least in the US)
there will likely be a lot of flare and promotions in Japan though. -
