Please stop showing boring videos

You know ... I actually AGREE & DISAGREE with the OP.

I do agree that they shouldn't have shown the battle system YET. Being that this is alpha and an unfinished game, first impressions are lasting. However, they HAVE to show something, so if this is all they had left to show then I understand.

Everything SE shows of ARR needs to be polished to perfection and it needs to be exciting. ARR is climbing an uphill battle so mediocre videos won't cut it this time around.

PS. I still enjoy seeing ANYTHING ARR related lol.

There are people that donesnt know what alpha stage means, so... that's why we need better videos to show to the people.

Show this , all you need to know what is a alpha stage

I would ask that you not express them within a forum who's base of discussion is Final Fantasy XIV and other media involving it.

If it's about "FFXIV and other media around it" then we shouldn't be posting memes that aren't related to "FFXIV". Just saying.

Half the time, I see people straying off topic. What's the difference? :P

amen I think we got of the rails on this one awhile back though this train (thread for those who don't do comparing) seems to jump back and forth like a girl choosing the nights dress to wear (oh yeah i did it anyway >.>)

Yep, but what can one do about it. Nothing really I'll just move on, and if there's a problem that offends me ( which isn't often), I'll just report it and won't say a word. Vel is right it's not any of your problems, so I'll be sneaky about it and hit the report button!

SE showing everything the game has to offer during alpha testing phase Isn't a very tactful move on their part. Hyping up a game that is not ready is most likely the biggest mistake that they can do. Good QA and testing will get this game the success it needs.

Honestly though, we've already seen some footage of some of the dungeons and party play through previous videos released earlier this year. Albeit they were not fully optimized they were still interesting to look at.

Kids and fan-boys have no patience these days. Go play outside til game launch! I've put almost 3000 miles on my motorcycle since 1.0 shutdown

Hi all, i have heard a lot of bad opinions about ARR due to the boring videos that SE is releasing to the public. I know there are a lot of improvements there but that's not the way to show it to the people. Instead showing that kind of videos u can try showing a party of 4 or 8 in a dungeon, something with life, music, faster, showing the combo system, moving, showing cut scenes, new skills, ifrit, moogles, chocobos, places (not running 3 mins in gridania, something faster cuz that's so boring), etc.. there are a lot u can show right now so please show it before the people keep saying ''that's so boring, stand still and hitting 123123123123'' (cuz that's what u showed in the last video).
Better marketing SE please!, that king of videos are not helping.

No they are not going to put like dungeons out dude that will leak way to much out before we get to play it. From what i see it would be better off what they are doing now the improvements are badass thats just a sample they dont want to give you the whole cookie unless you play the game and enjoy it from there. Soooo quite whinining and just wait for beta to come out and play it.

i think its quiet intelligent to show the audience small non important video clips "leaks" every week.
these clips are small appetizers and nothing more. to show what changed and which features are in.. maybe within the next video we get presented the new live events, instance group low level fights..


the content of the videos will grow when we come closer to beta/release.. you will see.. or do you think really anything different?..and then when beta launches we are going to see a new gameplay trailer for a better comercial purpose.
people in this forum wanted to see GAMEPLAY videos where SE is showing the "features" of the game. and a video clip about quests is just a small part of it.
when people look at a gameplay trailer like what we've got in the first real trailer, people will wonder "ok it looks nice and so.. but what features does it have?.." thats what these small clips are for.
sure a classic quest system isnt that exciting on the first view, but regarding to 1.0. it is.. people see that the level system is going to work different.

to get the people excited it needs more, sure... but there are more clips to come, to show all other features.


wait, young padawan.

I can tell you it is a funny way to get a temporary suspension (hint hint).
