Why is the game not OUT there in the media/mmo sites?? Devs/Yoshi gotta get on this!

IGN did post an article about the website/trailer the day they went up.

I have never heard of the verge, siliconera, or the escapist, not to rain on your parade or anything. people shouldnt have to google ffxiv to discover it, they should have to do no more than visit mainstream community sites like the ones i mentioned and have it in front of their face. furthermore i have never gone to MTV for gaming news, people go there for jersey shore and the real life. gamespy covering discontinued content doesn't shout "new game! new game!". the fact it was framed in that context is exactly what i mean. the title saying "FFXIV Content Going Obsolete" rather than "Re-release on the way" or whatever does two very different things to an audience.

IGN, PC gamer, PS3 mag coverage is what's going to help get the game out there

Finding FFXIV without Googleing it? How do you propose to do that? :/

It's been on every major news site I can think of lately.

Its to early SE wants a large amount of information to be available before they go on the attack which I think will be during gamescom

what i mean is any wow/aion/eq2/rift/gamer in general should be able to know nothing about ffxiv, or not have it in sight, visit IGN as a general go-to place for game news. and see a ffxiv relaunch article on the front page. that's called good advertising

Bombard the Doubters/haters with Information and Gameplay, New players will catch on with ease (if they are interested in that type of game) thats the best way they can handle it.. Overwhelm the Consumer with Information beyond compare, if they do that at Gamescom, they have their Second Chance Secured.

Because this game is dead and will stay dead even after 2.0.

Sadly this is probably true. 2.0 might be great, maybe even amazing... But it'll never make any difference
