The Ultimate is strictly old content, so...why so secretive about it?

    Why even bring either up then? Why have not one, but two whole slides that say "secret" on them?
    To build hype, and let us know it's coming.

    I don't always agree with them being secretive, like when they teased a new Gold Saucer attraction and everyone was thinking blitzball only for it to be mahjong, but in this case I think it's better not to show off a fight that's usually kind of a spectacle.

    We already knew it was coming. Instead of building hype, they just irritated me and a lot of other people. I would be far more hyped if I knew we were fighting Alexander or The Warring Triad because then I could spectacle on how those fights might go. When they first announced Coil, and later Ultima, that's what got people existed. How they were going to build those fights into something amazing. Being secretive is just annoying.

    For me, it just dampened the whole LL. Granted, it didn't help they talked about almost nothing except Fellowships.

    Actually, we don't, as things could be delayed or plans change. If there was only one part, I'd understand, but on a 2-part live letter, it still makes sense to confirm it's coming in the first part and then reveal it in the second part when they can potentially talk more detail about it.
