Thread: 2.5 Trailer?

So you're saying... the marketing team behind FFXIV chooses not to show content like World of Darkness, New gear / recipe previews, new dungeons in a trailer...... kinda like they've been doing for the past year?

I highly doubt that. These are smart people.. they know how to hide spoilers I'm sure.

They’ve made a Mini (PR) site for each major patch, so i’m expecting one to magically appear on Lodestone somewhere this week. (^_~ )

The closest thing we have to a date are the ones that are mentioned within the “New Years Greetings!” news article as well as the “Unavailable Times for Ceremonies of Eternal Bonding (Updated: Jan. 8, 2015 2:15 a.m. PST)” Special Notice article:

Part one of Before the Fall is scheduled for the mid to end of January with the release of patch 2.5, which contains myriad challenges for adventurers of every persuasion. The patch will include roughly two-thirds of the final main scenario quests, three new dungeons, and the conclusion of the Crystal Tower questline and the World of Darkness. The patch will also feature the adventures of Hildibrand─agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire─on his latest (and perhaps final?) investigation, a new battle against Odin, the Dark Divinity of legend, in Urth’s Fount, new gear for gatherers and crafters, numerous new recipes, and more. We have plenty planned to make this patch a befitting prelude to the end of the 2.X storyline.

Does each update really need a trailer? I mean for real.. it's just an update.

We already know most of what to expect. Do you really need to be teased that much more about something you'll experience in about a week's time?

I mean, I think the previous trailers and stuff have been nice and all, but they haven't really been necessary in the least bit considering we also have Live Letters before just about every update that tend to give us a pretty darn good understanding of what's to come. Can't we just wait and then be surprised by (or disappointed by, I guess) what's in the patch notes when we get them, and then experience the new stuff while playing the game?

Trailers should be for expansions and game launches.
