The big spoiler in the Heavensward opening/trailer was a huge mistake. (spoilers obv)

This is true, and that's why I never watch those until after I beat the game.

However, Heavensward's "opening" is not just that - it is also supposed to serve as the primary trailer and crowd-puller for the game.

FF14 wasn't even on my radar until the "End of an Era" trailer was released. It sold me on the game.

However, if it was preceded by an ominous spoiler warning, I wouldn't have watched it, and likely never bought the game.

This is what so many of you fail to understand.

SpookyGhost is the only one who "gets it" so far.

I don't understand you said from watching the end of an era trailer you were sold on the game. And I'm guessing that you've continued playing right up to the conclusion of the current storyline.

Isn't it contradictory now to turn around and say that people would be turned off the game by spoilers when that's how you were drawn in?
