More Ads that Miss the Mark

[aveyond-dreams]

I'm not sure where you're going. Do you think the marketing team is wrong for targeting a certain demographic?
I'd say this is ultimately their call. If they miss the mark, their problem. But I'm pretty sure that they aren't interested in marketing the game as a deep political intrigue with compelling gameplay.

I'd much rather they target the gamer bros who like fantasy etc. as opposed to normies who migrate over here from the likes of Nintendogs and Animal Crossing, yes. It's a shame that those are the types that have ended up being catered to in the end as opposed to back in the day when it was the total opposite. Negotiating with Varis, the reformation of Ishgard, etc.

Safer to have a handful of Wols sit around the campfire and brag about how special they are and how they won so much. And then people are surprised when it turns out FFXIV players don't feel at home in other games that don't enable the sort of hero worship/ego praise that this game went full throttle with lately.
