I was there today and filmed it O_o

There was a new trailer they released that is an extended version of the limit break trailer that was shown at gamescon. Showed WS's and further showed the environment of the game. Otherwise it was pretty much the same presentation as gamescon.

There were a few other pieces of information that was released such as level syncing, which I read people know about already. :O I will skim through my videos to see if I can pick up on any new info.

Replaying the video right now picking out whatever was new:
-When the dragoon does the WS in the new gameplay footage that looks like "Dragonfire Dive", the dev called it "Firefall"
-The Dev talked about changing how combos work for Ranged classes such as archer and thm, they talk about how ranged classes will get status buffs and debuffs added to combos (its a little bit confusing, but he said it was different then it was before!)
-Talked about how they designed zones to be part of the overarching story.
-Mentions how they do not want people to level up through grinding on monsters, they really want people to level up via the story through quests to really experience a real final fantasy game.
-Talks about crafting, Dev did continue to say that players can level up every crafting skill so you can be "The expert crafter on the whole server"
-Adding level sync, sounds a lot like what they did in XI
-In the chocobo stables, they are going to add a new chocobo combat system which they were not yet ready to talk about, but the chocobos will be able to fight for you (we already knew that though I guess :O)
-Limit breaks are class dependent. The limit break video shows Level 3 meteor limit break by a black mage, but each job has their own unique limit break

-After that they show the limit break trailer. A lot of it shows players riding through Eorzea with chocobos. I did notice right outside Uldah is a LOT greener now.

We're working on uploading the video we have now. It didn't turn out *quite* as nice as our awesome video-guy had hoped. We think it's 'cause the image was a projection, and because it was kinda dark-ish.
