    Social Media Campaign for ARR.. by the fans?

    Now there's at least a group of 4~10k(just a guess) individuals who check the lodestone daily to see what's up in Final Fantasy land. We talk about our ideas on here and some turn into awesome concepts the dev team can run with.

    So then I had an idea, what if we, as the bored fans awaiting ARR, put together our own social media campaign to HYPE ARR. I'm a firm believer in going out of my way to help an organization who has given all of us some awesome memories and games that we enjoy.

    So we know square lacks North American marketing- so why don't we take it upon ourselves to generate chatter on hubs such as twitter, facebook and more. Now, I know some of you, myself included, don't want to go onto our personal profiles and start shouting about ARR and how we are mad gamers in some fantasy land (Which is awesome nevertheless!). However is there a way through social media, other forum boards, and potentially some extensive blogging we could help SE out in terms of generating some HYPE for 2.0? Is this something the bored Eorzeans could do while we wait for 2.0?

    The hype among fans will happen organically once we start seeing the product (That is if we like what we see)

    Tell your friends :P

    I think during beta this idea could get going better - specially once NDA is lifted or SE releases more of its own media.

    Right now the only way to show 2.0 is to do naughty things SE wont like :P lol

    I've been posting clips of my videos on my facebook page and have managed to get many people curious enough to want to start when 2.0 comes around. That's my way of reaching out to them right now.

    A full scale promotion might not be good right now imo, because the wait will be too long until the retail version arrives. Give the audience some scraps, like SE is feeding us with ARR videos..but don't go full blown out just yet. Give it at least until Beta.

    I read that post earlier. Very good! Well written, comprehensive and, most importantly, accurate.

    Considering SE doesn't have to pay a dime for word of mouth advertising, I'm pretty sure they're hoping people do this, and more of it.

    Be careful what you post on social media sites. It could come back to haunt you.
