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

Assuming you think i meaning SE don't plan to release a gameplay trailer: you're wrong. They even officially comfirmed <_<

So what were you on about? Are you seriously trying to say that PA didn't mention 45906750586576 new things from the producer's letter on purpose?

[yukikaze_yanagi]

They didn't said anything positive thou. They (on purpose ?) left unspoken everything new is coming, leaving the game under a bad spot. You don't need to openly criticize something to leave a bad impression

There's a ? there, because i just don't know. Again, they didn't say anything good or bad, they just said nothing, but under a bad light. Nothing more of that.

Oh. 'Cause I loled at that but decided to not mention it since I was unsure whether or not you were being a complete fanboy/girl or not. Now what you're trying to say is confirmed though! Clearly Penny Arcade (and the world) underestimated your tremendous psychic powers and their evil, nefarious plot to bring the whole of Squeenix down (for no reason whatsoever) by sabotaging the release of Realm Reborn by purposely not saying anything is discovered.
Dun dun dunnn!

Seriously? You don't know whether or not they intended to not say anything about what's promised. Maybe (who knows!) you can only report on things when they exist. One screen showing character selection, a couple screens showing a male miq and a couple more concept art documents and a wealth of promises from a producer does not make a re-launch. People like you expect non-players to be jumping up and down with excitement at that is laughable. About as laughable as you saying Penny Arcade are against the relaunch succeeding.

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.

Crystal Tower
Female Roegadyn
Female Miquote
Female Highlander
Revamp of Battle Regimen System
Didnt show a single 2.0 Screenshot
Nothing about the Current Imperial Story ( may some people would like to experience it )
Nothing said about how 1.0 will turn into 2.0 ( Storywise )
Nothing about plans of more/new Mounts

To be honest, none of the people who left FFXIV due to its extremely low launch quality are going to care at all about any of this stuff. They didn't leave the game because there were no female Roegadyn. They left it because it had a terrible game engine and there was nothing to do.

If "we have a mail system now" is supposed to be a major selling point in getting people to come back to the game, you've already lost.

You dont get my point.. not even nearly.

I will show you what you did:

into:

no female Roegadyn.

What? SE PROMISED!.. no female Galka!.. the hell..

You did, what Penny-Arcade did... getting one single Item out of something and putting it into a wrong light. Maybe you should join them.. no offense tho, but thats exactly what im talking about.

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.
