Gameplay Video ( of the Presentation) is up!

Maybe it was all part of their viral marketing strategy? Like Yoshida said, this version was not fully optimized, they didn't feel it was worthy of an official release by them.

Instead they are depending on leaked footage as a way to spread it to the masses. That way maybe expectations will be somewhat tempered (lol) since this leaked un-optimized early build was not officially released by SE and thus will not be confused as an almost complete build (which I'm sure many of the general mass can easily mistaken it for).

Of course I could be entirely wrong, I'm just trying to guess what is going through their minds.

Again, I've posted about this before, and I will post again.

We're so used to disappointment by SE that we're used to justifying bad things with random explanations like these. This is Gamescom OK. Depending on leaked cellphone footage for aggressive marketing...? If this were any other games, nobody would be close to coming up with excuses like this.

Step it up SE please. We've resorted to making excuses like "it's probably bad translation", "it's probably a poor choice of words", "it's probably because they want to show lore that they released subpar screenshots", "it's probably because they're depending on leaked footage", while in fact, it's probably just bad design and bad marketing strategy and incompetency.

OK I didn't say it was a good strategy, or that I even agreed with it. As my last sentence stated "Of course I could be entirely wrong, I'm just trying to guess what is going through their minds."

Geez people are so touchy.
