Looks visually really ho-hum which is pretty surprising given how they claim that they're going to respond to user feedback about bland zones. I thought this would have been the perfect chance for them to show they can do something interesting. This doesn't erase my fears that XIV artists have been on a vacation or completely assigned to other projects after the release.

That aside the trailer does look amazing. I really hope there's some story in these cutscenes and that they're not just showing off the boss enemies with them. A couple of dungeons would be the perfect way to tell a story with a real beginning and and end in a way that makes sense.

Do you think there's a chance of new music in these dungeons?

Can't wait to play it but honestly I don't understand why they look like that at all. My wish is that this was just something already in the game and the 3d team is focusing on world re-design but that's just wishful thinking.

AND I'M TOTALLY EXCITED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF REAL FF JUMP!
ahem also the effects team seems to have cranked up the quality a bit there =D

What I don't want to see:
A dungeon here... A dungeon there... 3 more come September. This is way to typical in MMOs these days.

What I hope to see:
Something done very well in FFXI, make the dungeon, 1 tier toward a larger expansion. Meaning... in FFXI, this dungeon would be level 1 of 100, where you are earning points, acquiring gear, learning about the environment through story. *cough* Assault?.

I hope to god they do something like assault/nyzul for Grand Companies.

I'm very excited about all the players in a party being shown in the cutscenes. I have always wanted this and hope for more in the future. The combat looks a little clunky to me still, but maybe it's more enjoyable to play than watch. I think a little more action in the combat wouldn't kill anyone. (Maybe not crazy jumping, but how about a dodge? How about some force fields or grabbing a part of a mob to hold it or stop it, etc. It kind of feels like the auto attack is going to leave me with some down time that I could be doing something productive with.)

and more narrow corridor paths, lol! top it off with a 60 minute time limit and no risk vs. reward system = "who would even play this?!"

i guess they can still hide behind the ps3 ram limitations lol....
