i feel that the FFXIV opener is more like the first FFXII vid as it doesnt set up the story of the game.
i have never argued semantics or technicality which is why i said your post was akin to a straw man.
i have only argued what i felt, so lets just agree to differ.
I really can't because, as I've mentioned before, if I made one when the studio pay me to do another, I'd be kicked out so hard that my grandparents would feel it.

And the initial post I was replying to was:

Which, yes, is technically arguing the semantics of where teasing should go, in a trailer or an opener. In which I replied that this is an "opening movie", in which, yes, teasing does belong.

And if I was to put a fallacy on your posts, it'd be "Moving the goal posts". But I really tried to refrain from that using that term because I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.

I think what we can agree on is:
a) the opening movie isn't to your taste. (and that's fine)
b) probably it wasn't as awe-inspiring or fast-paced (or both).
c) this is an opening movie, not a trailer.

The only point I wanted to emphasize is, this is an opening movie. This isn't a trailer by any stretch of the definition. Some people may mistakenly call it a trailer because they don't know the technical definition of one (just like how some people call IE a search engine or their desktop the "home page"), but it's an opening movie. And because this is an opening movie, teasing does belong in here.
