SONY GC CONFERENCE FFXIV: ARR Streaming MAYBE

[Hycinthus]

Forget the "All Summer Long" crap... Gamescom ( tomorrow through the 19th) you will be seeing your "Blast" of info as that's what they exactly said they were "flooding" us with information @ Gamescom. I really think its enough with this "All Summer long" >.>. Gettin' old.

It's like if your girlfriend promises you that you will be having sex all summer long.
Then you only start to get it on August 15, and then school starts soon. Wouldn't you be angry?

-.- this is not the same thing, not even remotely close.

Edit: And they Promised us the Flood is coming at Gamescom, not "All Summer long" The way the Rep said it was more of a "get ready for what ahead". that's how I took it, when other people took it like " We Should be getting info like Every week".

I agree.. It shouldn't have been said.. but I honestly think the way it was said.. It wasn't really ment what the words said. As the saying goes.. its not what you say, it's how you say it.

But really, with Gamescom being tomorrow.. why is there even bickering and complaining when the Information is like around the cornor? /shrug

They originally promised "All Summer Long" with no mention of Gamescom. In fact they even chose, at the very last minute, to take away that trailer at E3 only to release it later with no flood in sight. There's nothing ambigious about their statements, though you could argue as to what "all summer" is. Not "the very end of it" though.

Because people are concerned, and rightly so. Something like this has never really been done with an MMO before, and in order for it to succeed their going to have to really raise awareness about the title instead of constantly appealing to a niche fanbase and leaving it at that. No matter what people argue about on these forums I think we can all agree that we want to see ARR succeed.

Overall? People are frustrated because SE is doing a terrible job marketing so far, and for all intents and purposes it doesn't really look like it'll change. Maybe it's too early to expect a full blowout, but the clock is ticking. I'm interested in seeing what's going to come out of Gamescom as well, but I'm really not expecting much. The company can say whatever they want, but given their history and what they've given us so far people have more than enough reason to skeptical.

It's similar. Okay, a flood or barrage of information, is equivalent to, mind-blowing toe-curling sex all summer long.

Anyway, I'm not flaming you, it's fine, I'm hoping tomorrow everything will change. I agree with you agreeing that they perhaps shouldn't be promising something that they can't keep.

My mind is blown.
