The 2.0 and 3.0 cutscenes are still so disappointing in comparison to 1.0. It's gotten to the point where all I remember from cutscenes are: "Here's my hand" and [nodding intensifies]

The in-game cutscenes are, yeah :\ The full blown year-long-in-the-making actual CGI cutscenes are a different matter imo

These are the Warriors of Darkness

Nop , Warriors of darkness are the "mirror" of Warriors of Light... and WOL represent our "party" . The player as Derplander on the CGI's.

You have nothing to back up this claim.

All that we know for sure is that Derplander and his 4 friends got sent away, and that the 5 WoD are carbon copies of Derplander & co.

Moreover, only 1.0 characters can relate to the adventurers in A New Beginning. There is a plot hole for 2.0 characters though concerning that point, as we were NOT part of the cataclysm events, and yet Cid has a flashback involving us when we go to face garuda.

Even if the CGI derplander & co weren't the WoD, they wouldn't be the Company of Heroes either anyway.

sry yall i played 1.0 on and off till the day they shut down the servers

I watched tons of CS (4+ times infact due to restarting alot) and yes all in game cs used ingame graphics. I have seen each opening movie fir each city state 4-5 times. I also youtubed ALOT of cs.

Please do a side by side comparrison of a released 1.0 cs and that. there is huge differeces such as the midlander chick cutting off titans arm. NO 1.0 cs had such effects.

I also watched past 1.0 stuff on youtube cuz I do miss that version.

if thay was released, it would have been the player characters, the showing of a high res battle regiment wouldn't exist. and there woulda been no way graphically titans arm woulda been hacked off that violently with blood effect, it was a t rated game that M rated game stuff.

even 2.0 cs with raughban arm getting cut off yoiu see no blood. eveb with telegi getting cut in 1/2 wasn't as violent. and w/o blood.

actual 1.0 cs, notice the differences?

that titan vis is a fake too meny differences between it and a legit ff14 1.0 cs. unfinished or not.

its nmot hard to remake game graphics

example WoWs Rogue blind video.


Ff14 didn't have in game movie like CGI Cs. One of the selling points was having high quality in game Cs.

My bigger question why are they surfacing now??


Prior to the disaster in jp, we was suppose to attack titan, not the coh. The coh explain who defeated them lore wise. As a means to explain why wol didn't.

That has pretty good quality fir something unfinished. And in my experience most unreleased stuff is user made unless it was released by the company

Kinda funny y'all belive a yt vide to be real but question unedited screenshots.

Kinda hypocritical.

We worked very hard in 1.x and given a ton of suggestion, heck... we even gone as far as to present whole game mechanics to rescue 1.x (even at alpha stage)... I still miss most of those suggestions! Its not that they ignored us, but its a bit sad because we had hopes for 2.x when they said they will start anew! There is no excuse to not listen, when you start complete new...

In 1.0 alpha the forum was full of feedback and very detailed suggestions - the game was rushed but i guess Tanaka thought to add some of them
(Tanaka had a vision, its not entirely his fault for having bad programmers or other members - dont let him burden all blame alone!)
In 1.x then we still continued with our suggestions because Yoshi-P taken over - some ideas were implemented (GM reporters, garlean ambush, combat changes, and so on)
In 2.0 alpha forum i still have seen good detailed suggestions but untill now i do not know why they got rid of most of 1.x mechanics the players liked... (chocobo carawans, hamlet, and so on...)
In 2.x then we had to see what FFXIV has become and somehow the suggestions stopped... its as if the players given up or just getting bored to be slapped into face once again...
I understand why they deleted old forums and so, but i really hope they copied some of the good topics because there are suggestion they should consider to improve the game even now with 3.x

Square Enix should consider to make more polls about "changes" currently it looks a lot like they have lost the connection to their playerbase!
Lets say they suggest something and then the community discuss about it... it must not even be open topic, heck even a closed topic for a limited group would help this game more than the current state!
I will not say Yoshi-P is making bad decisions but sometimes i think he is lost in little details. (its now the 3rd relic with just changed colors nomnom would go berserk ^^)

PS: I hated how they have made the "Circle of Knowing" members to "normal" and even "weak" charakters in 2.x ... If you played 1.x you know that they had something special on them but i like the direction 3.x is going because it seems they one by one are getting their "special" ability - its like a "making of"

Edit: Whats with the discussion if the video is real or not? Why do you care? The question is if you like that to happen in the story or not, stop destroying that with stupid discussions you cant even prove!
