It was fine for me, and it kinda made sense. I'm really not sure why people think it was so terrible. It's not a bad idea to show that there's someone behind the characters you see. It seems like they're trying to make people realize that if you play this game you're going to be part of something bigger than just yourself.

No only that but, if you think about the first thing you see in the game is a giant war, with some mysterious old guy. The commercial will give them something to relate to as soon as they start playing.

Besides one of the best PS3 commercials ever was live action.

That was pretty painful to watch....Hope they make a better because this one is pretty cheesy

The problem i see with the commercial is that it doesnt really show anything for people that are unaware of ARR. just makes me wonder who the commercial was for. The only people that would "get it" are people that already played XIV and tested in the beta. Anyone else outside of this is just gonna see this commercial and go "what? what did i just watch?"

[Zekieldude]

The commercial does not do the game justice. FOlks that have no idea what the game is about are left wondering saying WTF just happened and what has happened to the FF series!?!?!?

I agree horrible commercial. The freaking guy that is talking is the dude that does spongebob voice over. This game is going to be too awesome for such poor advertisement..

While I like that commercial, it's not very effective for anyone but fans of the series. It just leaves the general public in a state of "so... what's the point of it?".

I think that SE got ripped off by the company that did this commercial.

Like others have already said, anyone that doesn't know about the game won't understand what did they just watch. If the targeted audience was new players, then this commercial doesn't accomplished this goal.

That live action one's just embarrassing, if that came on there's no way I'd pipe up with "Hey, that's the game I'm really looking forward to playing!". Stylistically it's about two decades late, shows nothing of the game itself and reinforces negative nerd/MMO stereotypes.

A better and cheaper commercial would have involved one chap taking a day to edit together some cool bits from the End of an Era, Dungeon Crawl and Primal trailers over one of the many great music tracks from the game - slap the FFXIV logo and release date on the end and you're done!
