what was that

[Vahlnir]

People seem to be misunderstanding a bit. I wouldn't say I'm not happy, but for an E3 stream that was very lackluster and a lot of it was pointless questions that disappointed me as far as something to show at E3. As far as i'm concerned the only big news or things worth talking about were the new classes, airships, super coil mode, and marriage. All of which could have could just been put into a dev post of a letter from the producer forum post. For the 15-20 minutes of actual E3 worthy news and information we had to sit through questions about hug emotes and chocobo companions. I'm not saying those questions weren't worth asking or answering, but they weren't worth asking or answering during an E3 stream. E3 is supposed to be the place you talk about new classes, content, and expansions not about making a hug emote.

Well the week isn't over yet so maybe they are saving the best for last. I know I would.

What else is there though besides the 2.3 part two letter Thursday? I mean they could obviously throw stuff in at the end to throw the JP Playerbase a bone since most of them probably missed this, but this was supposed to be the E3 stream where all of our hopes and dreams would be confirmed or crushed and instead of doing that they talked about hug emotes.

I don't know and neither does the rest of us, I'm just speculating :P

I say this not to start an argument, or voice displeasure (though I have a little after watching that live letter), but to once again be disappointed to find out Eastern developers are open to displaying they don't hold us western/worldwide fans in the same regard as their home fans.

Wait and watch. The Japanese live letter, and any other Japanese language events during E3 will have any "real" or "exciting" reveal info. If not from E3, it will be the next live letter from Japan. Then you will see the western audience, is and will always be a secondary (less important) market. Feedback and fixes always come based on the primary audience, and that is just a fact. OK we got to see the new class/job for like 30 seconds. We all knew it was coming and the reveal was a bit underwhelming.

The fact that, at the biggest stage in gaming, in the whole industry (bias because its western/English?) They left us with next to nothing. Especially with Shiva gracing the banner, then during the English live letter they basically say they can't tell us anything about Shiva, only that she is gonna be talked about soon and she was put on the banner because Ramuh wasn't "sexy enough."

Looks alot like this:

Player riding mount (Yoshida) -> Fat Chocobo mount (you) and it feels bad.
