Square-Enix, WORST MARKETING EVER... For the love of God, WHY?!

[Dragonheart]

And for those of you who are wondering about Yoshi-P’s scheduled presentation and real-time demonstration, unfortunately we do not have any plans at the moment to release videos or to do a live broadcast. We will however be releasing information through various media interviews, so be sure to watch out for them.

First of all, sorry for my crappy english.

Well, i'm sorry but this deserve a his own thread.


After losing so many money on the 1.x , Rebuilding 2.0, why they're not investing money on the marketing, the MOST IMPORTANT thing? They don't even know the power of talking mouths. Or of the media?

The presentation video is AWESOME itself, but how it could generate any type of interest or hype to media, major site, or even, how i can talk about of it to my friends? If most of them didn't know that the game has been showed, and it actual looks great?

Something like this would work?
"Hey look this crappy quality video, but believe me, the game will be great. "

Same with major site, they can't even create an article in this way...

And most important thing... This was supposed to be the most important day since FFXIV 2.0 was announced, and we didn't got any streaming. We just got a presentation video taken with a crappy 480p phone (god bless the user that recorder it btw), in german language.

Well, yes i'm angry, because if SE marketing will continue in this closed mind way:



I'm sorry to say but the game will fail to bring old and new customer.
And me, and the curren't player base absolutly don't want this.

Yeah, it is pretty ridiculous.

It is not only the marketing they should worry about. Square-Enix thinks PR is more important... since the media thrashed FFXIV 1.0 and affected so negatively the game earlier. And since media is giving so little attention to FFXIV these days, they should think about doing the announcements themselves via official mediums (Final Fantasy XIV has his own "official" forums, twitter, facebook, youtube channel... you name it).

I can't believe we are informed via unofficial ways quicker than the official channels.
I agree, they should fire their entire marketing department... they don't even seem to care about all the efforts of the Devs.

You don't type or behave like someone over 26. Even if English isn't your first language, you should know better than to just repeat the same post to people sarcastically barking old phrases.

Being a fan doesn't mean eagerly downing anything a company serves you without any mind.
That's being a fanatic.

Square eagerly asked us to inform them of our views and opinions. If they happen to be negative, I try my best to clearly explain why so they don't run the risk of disappointing others. I do it to help them grow. Not praise them to death.

o.O sorry but which were you a fan of Squaresoft or Enix back in 1986 because se didn't exist back then as one single element it was after april 1st of 2003 that Squaresoft and Enix became Square enix. so Technically you couldn't have been a fan of se since 1986 since they were two separate companies.
