It would be cool if SE developed something shiny and substantial over the next year so maybe they could attend the game events like e3 and GC next year to advertise XIV so that they could get new players.

I don't know if it's intentional but them not promoting XIV at all after the release gives an impression that they're still too ashamed of this product to advertise it.

So next year bring on the flashy game features after the core is done?
