[Request] Live Hyadelyn

[Renshi]

Heya!

If there was something that got me before trying to play FFXI, it was when my friend let me see Live Vana'diel when he was browsing the internets.
It's really great to see players in challenge on live, and gives the people a good example of gameplay, graphics and sh*t like that.

I say, why not!
You say...?

Lol I use to watch the live cam for XI quite a bit waiting for my beta kit to get to me in the mail (Gogo free HDD and XI for PS2 beta testers!)

I think it would be fun to have it again. However with the lack of players and current situation of the game yada yada.... I'm not sure it would really put much on display.

Maybe after 2.0. . . At this point, it might not be so wise.

One thing for sure though, SE needs to advertise more. %90 percent of my age group (14-18) have never even heard of Final Fantasy. Then %9 percent have actually heard it but, never seen any FF game besides FFXIII. . . That measly %1 percent covers about me and three other people. . .whom are all 18~20. . .
Percentages are made up ofc.

The planet FFXIV takes place on. . . Eorzea is just a continent.

Hydaelyn is the planet we live on in FFXIV. Eorzea being one of the three continents.

Sorry for the off topic reply but, this just made me really, really sad. ;.;

I don't know how I would have made it through my teens without FFVII & VIII or those couple lonely years post college without grinding the hours away in X and XI in my crappy 1 bed apartment.

Heck, I don't even know if I'd be gamer right now if I had never rented that copy of FF1 with my allowance when I was like 6 years old!

Even if you did make it up, I wouldn't doubt that FF is falling out of touch with the next generation of gamers. Unless these kid's parents introduced them to the series or something, a lot of FF games these days just aren't as good as the competition (Skyrim, Assasin's Creed etc). The gameplay just doesn't cater to today's young gamers imo (not enough action, realism, too much reading, not enough playing) So pretty much the only people that still buy them consistently are the dedicated fans of our generation (20+ year olds)

It's funny, one thing that has stayed the same is the music, my Science teacher in the 8th grade played songs from the Distant Worlds albums during class, and many other students knew the prelude and chocoholic tunes. . . Even if they had no idea where they came from.
I haven't been able to get ANY of my friends to buy this game because, (This is from their mouths not mine) the game is Japanese. And if there is anything that I have learned from interacting with other kids my age, Japanese things (Besides certain Animes like Naruto and Nintendo games) are weird in there eyes. It's a prejudice they have against it. . . most would rather play Dukem Nukem Forever then pick up an old FF game. Hell, most wouldn't even touch a PS2 whereas I still have my old PS1!
My point is, this game, along with other SE products need to be better advertised. . . My generation is losing touch. . . And I can't imagine what will befell my younger brothers'. . .
