Feedback on patch trailers

[FeliAiko]

The old trailers made me want to play the game just fine...

Your point being? Nothing was said against the old trailers concerning their intended purpose to begin with.

The old trailers didn't make you want to play because you had questions, they made you want to play because they laid everything out in an epic, comprehensive way that was easy to understand and let you know EXACTLY where to go and what to do to start what you wanted to.

So basically, you like to be spoon fed the beginning, middle and ending of a story to make you play it? Well that's good for you... but not everyone feels that way, and this trailer isn't ineffective in its purpose just because they didn't decide to go the kind of route you like.

It's almost like everyone has different preferences. No need to try and make it seem like such a negative. This trailer, to me, feels like a jumbled mess which focuses mainly on the MSQ, which I couldn't give two figs about. I don't tend to follow the live letters, and if this is all I had to go on, I would be quite meh about the whole thing as nothing about it speaks to my interests in game.

Focusing more on the MSQ makes sense because that's a key selling point of this game. Besides, you don't need the trailer to showcase everything because SE uses other avenues (Lodestone, Patch Website) to display additional information on. Players relying on a single trailer as a main source of information in this day and age is silly.

*edit*

Less is more. Why spoil everything the patch has to offer in the trailer? Get people interested and have them discover the content for themselves rather than showing them everything in a trailer like your average American Hollywood movie trailer.

Exactly. Someone gets it.
