New Trailer

[Punainen]

The English voice acting could have been better... I preferred Gaius' old voice.

[Punainen]

I'll second that! :3 I guess the Garleans had an ace in the hole for Bahamut.



And I can't wait to find out more about these guys! But I do hope they get a little more variety with the enemies of this game.

I was looking so hard for a Lalafell Legatus... I did not see one. I am disappointed.

It is hard for me to be objective with this trailer. This trailer is of MY game and I will play it regardless. Wild moogles couldn't keep me away. I'm going to love it no matter what! I watched the English version (only). I didn't like the voice of the narrator (way too deep, almost fake-deep). I'd really just like to be inside someone's head who this is the first they've seen of this game. Probably gunna go watch it a few more times... lol

That wasn't a narator, that was Gaius...which makes me sad. He always had a deep voice, but it used to sound REAL. And almost all the characters sound like they're reading off a page...

the german one made me laugh...

Saw Tifa, got over excited. We have Monk, we need that outfit. And a cut scene with Tifa.

Cid can make it happen.

I smell story line!

Ok. Um.

Am I the only one who noticed that at 2:06, Gaius says IN-GOR-ANCE? instead of Ignorance?

That was the last straw regarding the voice acting for me. The muddled accents, tinny quality, and above error makes this trailer sound like a bunch of high school kids overdubbed the SE va as a prank.

I have a problem with any professional voice actor that says: 'nuke-u-lar', jew-lery', or 'in-gor-ance'.
It's nuclear, jewelry, and ignorance, people. You're getting paid to speak.

Other than the audio, that trailer kicks serious subligar.

PS3 is offering this trailer as a free download. Comes with a chance to win a Beta Code for Closed Beta.

This, and the FFXV Trailer made my day, though I to think the voice acting was missing something aside from the lack of lip syncing.

[Platinumstorm]

I didn't think the trailer was that impressive. The biggest problems were the pacing of the trailer - it didn't really carry a strong "trailer narrative", and by that I don't mean a story, but the idea where it shows you what happens. There was always so much going on because they purposely transitioned from move to move to move or a super brief clip and it created a visual overload where nothing made sense and it looked like they were trying to hide anything "digestible". The "best" moment of the trailer was the great After Effects [or whatever] work [for the first time in the FFXIV trailers]. The XIV was slow, deliberate, digestible, and commanding.

I would have left the beard off of Cid - looks forced. I wasn't impressed with the voice acting either, oh well.

That trailer was beyond awesome and got me excited for the game. This weekend can not come any sooner!

Also I'm starting to see some connection with the lore and that unknown hooded/masked npc at the end.
Perhaps Anonymoose can help me shed some light into this as I don't tend to remember all of the details. But I remember reading something about the battle at silvertear lake with the Garleans and the dragons(Midgardsomr)

There was one part that stuck to me. But rumors around that time tells that a single person was behind the action of causing the dragons to suddenly appear and attack the Garleans.

Fast-forward to the future. 2nd battle at silvertear lake. Bahamut appears and we even saw in the trailer what looked like the hooded man being there as well. So I'm actually guessing that he's the reason that bahamut is trapped inside a labyrinth. Which could explain the shadowy looking figure of bahamut in the end. Trapped in the void by an Ascian? Perhaps his labyrinth is inside the void as well.
