Hi Rukkirii,

Thanks for the update. We understand mistakes happen, but the Marketing person who uploaded this latest Video / released it should really be reprimanded. It's just shocking that through the entire Square Marketing Team in Japan (assistants, interns, etc.), NO ONE noticed how bad the frame rate was on this official TGS Trailer and thought to ask the higher ups about it?

I think what's even more disappointing is considering Yoshida-san's own words from his Producer Letter:

However, for those discerning MMO fans who haven’t played the original version, A Realm Reborn in its current state merely looks like your everyday MMO...just with better graphics...

The alpha test has yet to begin, and the beta is still a bit further down the track. This time around, we want to make sure we’re fully satisfied with the content before sending it out into the big, wide world.
I realize Yoshida-san is talking about both the trailer and the game itself, but his positive, "We want to make sure it's as good as possible!"-attitude is what made me (and many others) understand why he didn't release his Gamescom footage / trailer.

Yet, here, at THE biggest Game Show in Japan - Tokyo Game Show - Square's Marketing Team releases a completely crappy video (great music! HORRIBLE frame rate)?!

Where's the Quality Assurance / Focus on making sure Square's putting their best foot forward in releasing something to the public?

It's not Yoshida-san's fault; it's the entire chain of Marketing personnel... how NO ONE noticed how bad their Video looked before they uploaded it / released it to the world?

I agree with Reinheart and many others:

Yoshida-san please REMOVE that video and re-upload it when you get the Frame Rate / Encoding Issues worked out.

I just want to see Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 shown in the best light, especially to all the potential new players seeing it for the first time.

Gambatte!
