    They dont have room to get an ok run up. If they dont blow up the doors and bleed the fields they will likely have a similar reaction to what happened the first time FFXIV was released.

    They are under a lot of pressure - and I'm sure everyone here feels for them; however, we also know that if they dont get it right - there is just going to be more devastation, possibly this time completely irreversible. (For 14 at least).
    They already screwed themselves over by consciously choosing to un-innovate. And Yoshi says in interviews "it's a secret" everytime someone asks what's new/interesting about FFXIV.

    That is my fear. I hope SE is giving the FFXIV team all the resources they need. Halfassing it will waste their money and they might as well milk 1.0 as it slowly dwindles to a select few, then concentrate servers again - till it dies.

    They uploaded a fixed version of that trailer. Looks much better.

    They still used old resources - but yeah the lag being gone has helped. I think there would have been a negative reaction to it though even if they had it fixed the first time. There are a couple scenes that if you freeze frame - they look like 2003.

    They should have only shown the grid area as well XD.. that area is their best showcase so far. -Everyone- loves that area now.

    It'd be tough for any areas to be as boring as the current areas are. Graphically they are pretty but they are also some of the most boring copypasta terrains I've ever seen in a MMO.

    I personally think that it still looks like an upgrade. We haven't seen any extensive running around the other areas.
