Please stop showing boring videos

[Rustyhagun]

Well this all just seems like a double edge sword to me. One, we have us on the forums who I believe these videos are for, because we are not going to scrutinize it or make fune of it because we know the intent of the video. But for outside mediums like gamebreaker.tv, they would take this video and make fun of it, for what purpose idk, but its annoying to see.

As these videos come out every Weds. we should see the transformation of alpha to beta and the videos should get more exciting.

But I do believe these videos are mostly for us to wet out mouths abit while we wait.

I haven't even bothered watching the videos, because yea the titles alone make them sound boring to watch.

The FFXI was the best one.

Excuse me.. but i enjoyed the videos they released, speak of yourself only, and dont say "people will do this.. people will feel that..."

i didnt find the videos boring because i dont know... i have a brain and its telling me that were still in ALPHA phase... stop jumping the gun and stop generalizing your own personal views as that of the entire community. the videos are very good for an ALPHA .. i cant stress this enough lol ... ALPHA !

Well, hello there Kaizuko, long time no see.
I agree that people should stop bashing at something they do not fully understand. I have read quite a few forums here and there, and i have the impression that there is alot more positive feedback on the videos SE has put out than this thread and others implies. But somehow some people will focus all the negative energy they have. I don't know if it is because they are afraid of being disappointed again or that they generated hate during theire time in Eorzea. I think it's abit of both. Patience is so important around this time. We are closing in on beta stage, I advise all who think they know how it will be like playing this game to stop for awhile and imagine that there is a big possibility that the content we see in videos from alpha may or may not be staying. It could be simplified systems just for the sake of testing. I can understand if some become nervous of certain aspects of the game, but have the decency to hold off all the criticism until beta and give alittle trust to SE and Yoshida in this. They are the one's who make this game, and of course with the help of us, the community.

And i'm sick of people saying "Just because we are in alpha doesn't mean we can't criticise it" Well actually, this is not the best time to bring these kinds of matters up. Wait until you have a ready beta installed on the computer, play it, then post your concerns.
It's too much negative threads and opinions that in my honest opinion are invalid because we are in the unknown zone as of now, what we need is constructive new ideas. Not beating up the videos shown to us.

I think what SE does is amazing, they have been so great to us in every aspect along the way. They accepted theire wrongs and are now taking measures. They keep us informed and appreciates us. They answer alot of threads with comic angles.
I think that if they are able to bring this game back upon it's feet, it is going to be historical. Lifting an MMO up from the mud like they try to do needs a cheering crowd which can be heard from all the corners of the world. Of course we need to tell them what we don't like. But as I said earlier. Right now is not the time. I think we can wait for a few more weeks.
The diamond needs to be clean of its mud, then we polish it. And let's hope that this will become the most precious diamond we ever saw. (Damn i sound like such a fanboy, hey.. maybe I am one.)

Some of you act like youve never anticipated a MMO before. Every one that i have followed has released similar short teaser vids of alpha and beta gameplay and some do the dev blogs as well. If it bores you then dont watch it(EEEDIOT!!!). But dont speak for everyone. While not action packed I can spare 4 min of my life to watch the alpha vids.

We have a dev blog. Fernehalwes breaking NDA like a boss.

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.

Lmao..... Really Really............................ I appreciate every video they come out with, and I haven't been accepted to beta yet , do you see me complaining???? ...... wait for it............................. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, I would assume you haven't been accepted to beta yet "got a problem with FFXIV 2.0 alpha videos, grab a tissue"

Thank you Square for at least showing these videos and taking time to make them ! (:

[Kaizuko_Hakupac]

Well, hello there Kaizuko, long time no see.

wow no kidding mate, been a loooong time ! and i agree with what you said

glad to see a familiar name on the forums haha

and hey im a fanboy too aint nothing wrong with that

[Felis]

And i'm sick of people saying "Just because we still don't have an alpha invitation doesn't mean we can't criticise it"

Fixed it a bit ^^

[KairiSgheart]

Hmm, let's see.

People complained, why no videos a few months back of 2.0....

SE releases a few trailers, limit break trailer and others.

People complains.. why no gameplay, all CGI, live letter show some demo of what they are working on and preparing....

People complained why no epic trailer and ff xiv shld end epicly...
End of era trailer came about....

People complain, why don;t keep us updated on progress of how alpha is and such....

Producer letter of progress, pictures, alpha 1st look section created. If anyone notice it is under the Updates section of the forum under alpha test 1st look. Is not in anyway meant to be a trailer or such,, its giving the fans videos of progress they make thus far in alpha.

People want more info, the dev blog came about...

People complain why no invites to alpha, they kept sending out in batches and stress testing just so servers can run smoothly for everyone. They busy fixing all the kind of bugs alpha testers found to prepare for beta....

Sure we all want see more info more trailer and such of the system, and they will show when they can. They have alot of work in their hand sand polishing this. No matter what they do even if they release this and that video or info, people will continue complain anyway. but there is a bunch that like how they try share and communicate and work together with players to fix and improve the game. Me and many others want this game to succeed to.
