No trailer at E3 LOL @ SE

[Reinheart]

Push up bra is like a bag of chips, you open it and it's half empty!

Now putting a trailer that's just full on CGI will end up the same way, showing it off will be nice but wouldn't please half or more of the audience already knowing FFXIV's issue at initial launch, they just gonna watch the trailer and go wow that's pretty but pretty much the game is FAIL just like original FFXIV 1.0.

Gotta remember the audience watching isn't full of players playing the current game so when they see 2.0 full on CGI they will just relate that with 1.0's crappy system without any info on any changes that happened since then until now.

And E3 isn't really player friendly, it's more of a show off show against big companies, so it's better to have it at it's own event or gamescon or TGS where more players get to attend and try it out.

I’m in Japan right now, but will soon be winging my way to LA for E3.

As mentioned in my previous missive, the focus of this letter will be the third edition of the Players’ Poll, but before we get into that I have a few things I’d like to report.

Well, the public release of new info regarding version 2.0 is set to kickoff with this year’s E3 in Los Angeles. We also plan to unveil a brand new promotion site for version 2.0 soon after E3 ends.

SE never said the trailer would be CGI. People assumed it would be because SE wasn't talking much about it, they didn't try to hype it and Yoshi-P even tried calming our expectation saying it had a lot of 1.0 content in it. All that pointed to a bad trailer full of stuff we already saw and maybe minimal 2.0 footage or even all CGI for the 2.0 part. In the end pple's fear were founded as SE pulled the plug on the trailer all together.

We all saw the part were he says he's going to E3 and that new info will be released but again he is making to sound low profile and he doesn't sound too excited about it. Just like signs pointed to a disappointing trailer, sings here point to not much info and not what you may expect.

Remember their artwork contest? Besides the Ultima Weapon artwork,(if it even is Ultima) it was a really joke. It gave us nothing about 2.0 and made us look like fools. So all i am saying is not to expect much from SE at E3 this year. I would love to be wrong tho'.

Who'd it make look like a fool? For starters, 3 pieces of the artwork were new(it isn't SE's fault that some people decide to breach the ToS and go .dat mining for the whole world to see), and even then, it was just a fun little diversion hatched up by the community team to get the community to actually act like one.

Quit turning things into things they aren't.

does it matter if it was new or not? Artwork means nothing at all... If the games SE puts out even remotely looked like their artwork then yeah cool but look at FFXIV and then look at its artwork... wtf happened? I started playing Diablo III and saw some GW2 footage and was so impressed to see how almost indentical to the artwork these games turned out to be.

If they made a contest with 2.0 screenshot to reveal then yeah that would have been awesome, fun and real effort from SE. The artwork contest was mean to keep us distracted as pple were getting impatient for 2.0 news. It was a real joke.

As far as i recall, that contest never said "all new 2.0 screenshot", but "new artwork", so you're whining for nothing. It was just a modest forum contest, nothing ever related with PR, 2.0 hype or whatever related to marketing

I didn't win the Garuda contest, I demand justice!

artwork is pretty to look at, period. It means nothing for the pple waiting for 2.0 news and to see if the game will finally be up to the industry's standards. If SE hadn't a track record of not following their artwork then yes it would be remotely interesting but in this situation it is not.

Please stop acting like you speak for everybody. When I first saw the job AF concept art, I got stoked to level Marauder for Warrior. Just because you don't care about concept art doesn't mean everyone shares your opinion.
