Heavensward - Opening Movie (warning contains spoilers)

That trailer only reinforces my conclusion: the WoL in the 2.55 cutscenes acts like completely neutral so YOU can project your imagination onto his reactions.

The entire second half of it is a glorification of Dragoons.

It's deserved. The job took quite a beating during the for most of the 2.x series. Dragoons deserve their time to shine, I guess.

That trailer was nice but seeing Louisoux go super saiyan in that combined trailer was nice, too XD

I didn't realize just how massive the area surrounding Ishgard was until it zoomed way out.

This is why i wish they'd have Rendered Cutscenes during the game itself. seeing our character smash the wall with their fist like that in anger out of not being able to do anything, having real emotion shown not just a blank stared smile and a nod. 1.0 had a few rendered Cutscenes in it, nice short little ones, i wish theyd do it again :<

I swear I'm the only one who hasn't jumped on the stupid "derplander" train.
I hate that made up word its so dumb. Other then people insisting on making that stick, I loved that opening movie & am just even more pumped for Heavensward.

Or at least the Benchmark, give me something SE I'm dying here!!

im not a fan of Derplander, but at least its a name for something everyone recognizes. and i love SE for using him in all it's major CGI stuff, watching him grow and stuff as a representation of us. it's pretty neeto to me :P

Only the intro was rentered (and the ending with Dalamud), everything else was with ingame graphic

They probably ment "motion captured" instead of rendered.

Aside from being a WAR and switching to DRG. Honestly, I wish that guy just wasn't in the trailers at all. He adds nothing worthwhile and only serves to remind us that, apparently, SE intends for our characters to be nothing more than a stand-in for that lame, boring Hyur.

Lol, looks like elusive jump didn't work for that one dragoon. From from spin shatter dive to elusive jump right into jaws of death, literally!

Still, I wonder if the 2nd invasion in the Steps of Faith will be an event at the beginning of Heavensward?

It is the other way. The Huyr is a stand-in for our character in rendered videos. Just copy the image of your character over him.
