SE's FFXIV at E3

[Victor]

Yeah okay.....

Guys, I hate to dissapoint you, but even last year FFXIV's presence at the show was minimal. It was just a really small booth with some PCs inside (a couple of set ups for 3D Vision, others weren't) with a demo of the game where you could run a guildleve. Entrance was by appointment only (I stood outside watching for a while that's it).

So with that in mind the possibility of them being there again this year is extremely unlikely.

Then again, you can't really base it off of that experience alone. They may have a small booth set up again, but it would most likely be some way to display how the game is going to be changed.

What's disappointing? Most MMOs shown off at E3 aren't as extravagant as say a Halo show off.

Actually most MMOs at the show had a much bigger and flashy showing than FFXIV, including NC Soft's (or maybe it was Nexon, I forgot) booth along with loads of other games I haven't even seen launched yet.

All I'm saying is they don't take E3 as seriously for this product in particular so I don't see it being something huge. Maybe Tokyo Game Show would be a more adequate time and place.

I definitely expect some questions during interviews, but there won't be a spot for XIV at e3. Whatever the next event is, i'm sure if they see fit they'll cleverly "relaunch" the game with news of PS3 release and possibly news of an expansion, or something to get people excited over the game again.

[Malakhim]

I'm willing to bet that if anything, Yoshida is going to be there to give interviews(try not to die from fright on the plane, Yoshi), and maybe make some mention of upcoming content. I suspect that they might keep anything else FFXIV related on the down low other than maybe booth presence. We'll probably hear about PS3 release between E3 and TGS.

That's just the way I see it anyway. I'm in HR and business improvement, not marketing.

i Hope they don't have to knockout yoshida like when they had to fly Mr. T on the A team.

Still it is unthinkable that they are not keep some infos under wrap for this year's E3. Sure it is nice to lets us know what is going on with the game as we are the ones playing it but E3 is the best place to let the whole gaming industry know about the game's rebirth. The critics destroyed this game when it was release and it is well understandable for the game we were given.

Now with Yoshi-P in charge and all the new changes coming soon, E3 will be the perfect place for SE to let everyone else that turned their back on the game that they have learned from their mistakes and that the game will deserve a 2nd chance.

If that were the case it would be understandable but sadly i think they dont have a reason for not giving players any solid info on whats going on.
maybe.. its to keep players anticipating and excited but i think all thats really doing is pissing ppl off =/
