BETA TEST ROADMAP IS UP!

[Starlord]

With the NDA down? People will have seen a crapton of previews, livestreams and random footage of the game by then.

That's what happens with MMORPGs, especially big name ones.

Granted with NDA Down, How many really know and would typing into Google "FFXIV Blah Blah?" If people can't even type even FFXIV in the Search bar... I Highly doubt they will ever know about it. Word of Mouth is good.. but how far does it really get by Launch day? SE needs to do there part on the Marketing end to get the word out, and E3 would be a perfect place before Launch day to make that final big push!

That's what happens with MMORPGs, especially big name ones. You can't "announce" A Realm Reborn. Even now, with the NDA up and all, it would not be a "big announcement". It would be just another trailer of just another game that people already saw plenty.

And that's why I said, If it's Before the NDA is Lifted there would be no point, but if the NDA is Lifted and the game is not Launched by E3 then It wouldn't hurt to make the E3 Push. It's " Getting last Marketing push in before Launch".
