Check Point, PATV's gaming news program, mentions FFXIV

Not need to be a dick. No, i don't like misinformation, any form it takes. This make me a fanboy, just because we're talking of videogames here ? So, stop talking to me like that, i didn't said anything like that to you

If you truly think that someone saying that your theory is both inane and ridiculous is them being a dick, then you need fresh air and to learn how to debate. SE are promoting a game out on cutscenes. The gaming community, even a ridiculously inaccurate / dated site like penny arcade is snerking. SE asked for it by releasing that trailer. What Penny Arcade said or didn't say was lukewarm so no harm, no foul. Fanboys like you jumping at something so minor is what makes gamers laugh at final fantasy / SE fans.

Listen, I know XIV is your hopes/dreams/whatever right now and you follow what's in the works very, very closely. Don't expect other people to. Not covering 99.9% of what's been promised in producer letters =/= trying to make XIV fail. Sites cover what's been released. Nothing other than a cutscene's been released which was a really poor decision by SE. Until gameplay footage is released and used on trailers, they'll get that and worse. Deal with it.

Your posts are idiotic at best, Faris. You think that two preview trailers - CGI, with the first being horrible and the second being nothing short of amazing, personally - that are currently on nothing more than a TEASER SITE is SE's fully-planned-out marketing scheme? You should eat your own words, rofl.

Right now, what we know is this - Gamescom is coming, and SE is revealing FFXIV: ARR on-stage in front of a massive crowd, where Yoshida is going to guide them through a long in-game demonstration. They've already confirmed that they're going to be showing in-game footage of ARR at Gamescom this year alongside their other games. At that point, the 'flood of information all summer long' will begin, and that could be anything. News, interviews, more videos, screenshots, or the whole nine yards.

Also, I'm pretty sure we have yet to see this year's TGS, where they'll probably release even more information, and give more future players the chance to sign up for alpha, or beta, or whatever.

The point is that none of us, I repeat NONE of us know the full extent of SE's marketing scheme for this game. So don't act like a know-it-all and put down a fan of the game because you think you can see the future.

Rude, excuse you.

Until Gamescom happens / a in-game footage gameplay trailer is released, SE deserve criticism. I'm saying that person's view that Penny Arcade are deliberately not hyping the game / the plan for features in 2.0 because of some agenda against SE is ridiculous. No future seeing, no anything. I'm not the one saying "ah well they're doing this, that, this", the other guy was. It doesn't take any futureseeing or any kind of genius to know that if SE release a trailer based on purely cinematic effect and say "Buy it!" which by the way, is the reason trailers exist they deserve criticism.

Penny Arcade's criticism was lukewarm, they'll get way worse from other sources until they release a trailer showing gameplay. Get down off your high horse and learn to read posts before you attempt to whiteknight.
