Yoshi-P - "during our most recent global PR planning meeting, we came to the conclusion that the most effective way to introduce version 2.0 to the world would be with a flood of new material rather than just a trickle. In order to make version 2.0 a success, we need to appeal to not only our current players (naturally!), but also as many new players as possible, including PS3 owners." ...... "We want to place the highest priority on keeping the 2.0 development schedule on track and on time, and prepare a large-scale promotional campaign filled with mind-blowing stuff!"
'sall i'm saying man.... 'saaaallll i'm saying. i've been feeling starved for info, checking the forums, lodestone, facebook, youtube etc. everyday. waiting for each upcoming gaming conferences etc just to end up having to wait for the next one and the next one... please look forward to... we can't reveal.... etc etc etc.
We have gotten some useful info sure, I'm not saying we haven't. I like the limit break trailer and the arcanist/summoner reveal and the last live letter from the producer was great. but I feel we've gotten this info in the "trickle" that they said they were trying to avoid pretty much. I thought they were going to sock us in the face with an overwhelming, awesome, ultra comboooooo!! of information and details to really /psyche and hype people up, and get all of the websites buzzing etc. That did not happen. the limit break trailer (for me) was an open hand slap to the face maybe lol but you know what i'm saying!
They've got to ramp this bad boy up! like folks have been saying, people who have quit the game are still having quite a hard time getting any incentive to want to play ARR if they still have even found out about it. Even for potential new players a looooot of mmo players don't know that this is all happening nor do they care, and if they do know it's happening they don't know exactly what's happening. the folks who have the most inclining of what's going on is us, the current players/ more hardcore final fantasy fans, which means they haven't reach out enough like they said they were going to do.
C'mon SE! give us that bulletstorm boot to the face of "mind-blowing stuff" and not just a trickle, because regardless of what was said, that's what is currently happening.
