E3 EXCITEMENT THREAD!

[Sephrick]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it will be. The new "trailer" is the new opening cinematic for FFXIV 2.0. Considering the current opening cinematic is also CGI...

Any source for that? All I've seen them say is "2.0 trailer" not "2.0 Opening Cinematic."

E3 is their moment to have the world's attention to prove 2.0 will have turned XIV around. A CGI-only trailer will be met with a resounding "so what?"

They will probably do the following:

1) Tell the Crowd they are deeply sorry for How FFXIV came out
2) Show all In-Game Improvements Currently in the game now
3) Show CGI Trailer ( with possible In-Game Battles)

It's always when people ask for a source when you can't find the info <.<; I promise I saw it referred to as opening cinematic somewhere though!

Also I agree, E3 is the time to bring in the big guns, which is why they're launching the new 2.0 promo site which will have the game play videos people will want to see.

JPGAMES.DE, Michael: Between October and December 2012, you plan to integrate the PS3 Version in an all-new FINAL FANTASY XIV, do you think you will have material to show at E3 2012? Or is this too early?

Yoshida Naoki: Visual Works, the company that makes the trailers and movies for SQUARE ENIX, is actually working on new movie trailers for FINAL FANTASY XIV, we should be able to show that to the public at E3. But about touching the game… I’m being quite cautious this time, I really want to make sure that the user interface is perfect and comfortable to show to the public, so E3 2012 may be too early, but probably we can show screenshots at that time. We will do our best to distribute information. So please, look forward to it.

JPGAMES.DE, Frederick: So no gameplay material at E3 2012?

Yoshida Naoki: Hands on or movies?

JPGAMES.DE, Frederick: Movies.

Yoshida Naoki: We will do our best, we can’t make any promise. But we will do our best to show gameplay movies to the public. Personally, I don’t like CGI-only movies. I want to show the gameplay, so we will do our best!

Also in the Famitsu Interview when he announced 2.0 they commented (but it was a comment by the publisher not Yoshida) that the trailer would be the new Opening cinematic done for 2.0.

New Opening Movie
The new Opening movie made for the New FFXIV is planned to be released at 2012 E3 (Short term for Electronic Entertainment Expo presented at Los Angeles, USA)

However having said that Yoshida made a comment fairly recently that said gameplay video would be seen at E3, so it looks like we should be getting both.

Thanks! I knew I wasn't crazy.

Ironic, given how most E3 trailers tend to be CG trailers or of unfinished stuff that never ends up being the actual thing lol, remember Zelda for Gamecube? How it ended up as cel-shaded? (WW was still a good game though.) CGI is what excites people every developer knows this, hell they even have live-action stuff shown off show that you'll almost never see in-game.
