Maybe someone at SE pointed out that 30 seconds of already existing cgi doesnt = a new trailer....

I hope when they say they are going to 'wow' us they really do cos most of the time player expectations are up here --- while se's are down here ____

I agree that a 30 second CGI is also a waste. CGI is not content, is not gameplay, is not user interface, is nothing but an eyecandy.

BUT, at least some form of trailer, even CGI, would put the word of FFXIV 2.0 into laypeople out there and the media. No MMO has ever tried what SE is trying to do. Everyone thinks FFXIV is dead and is never coming back.

This is why I can guarentee they will show some gameplay, they know a CGI trailer is useless its called prioritisation, relese gameplay before the trailer (perhaps even 1.xx content what will get ported to 2.0 like dungeons.
