    The big spoiler in the Heavensward opening/trailer was a huge mistake. (spoilers obv)

    Why did Square Enix feel the need to put this particular moment from the ending in the new video? More than half the playerbase probably haven't seen the ending yet, not to mention all the potential new customers who will either be turned away by the warning or be spoiled.

    It's just inexplicably stupid, since they could just cut out those 5 seconds of flashback and the trailer would be just as cool and spoiler safe.

    I wasn't spoiled by it, but now I can't share it with my non-playing friends to get them interested in the game. It's a disaster from a marketing perspective.

    Please, they did exactly the same thing with the end of an era trailer leading into ARR. No-one complained they were being spoiled at that.

    They put a disclaimer before the start of the video that holds for a good 15 seconds.

    That's a terrible comparison because 1.0 was no longer playable once that trailer came out.

    New players coming in for Heavensward will still have to play through the ARR story where these spoilers happen.

    Thanks for not even reading the opening post I guess.

    You can still show them which will makes them interrested in how that happened, although if you want them to play, show them the game, not CG trailer.

    While you are at it, just rename the Trailer "First World Final Fantasy Problems"

    People needs to pay attentions and read...

    You have to do the same if you play hard contents (Coils run). This is not hack and slash game blindly.

    Wow ok, I didn't expect anyone to disagree with me on this topic. Clearly people on this forum have different mindsets than people like me who play RPGs for the story. Go on and ignore this thread then. But if you look at any other forum, or Youtube comments and such, you'll see that tons of people agree with me.
