FFXIV Japanese Anime Commericial

I just hope they wont do this for the rest of the world.
It will just strengthen the stereotype of this game being for weabooos.

Meh.

It's nicely animated. Though it clings to the tropes that I loathe about a lot of anime - namely having a couple of token male characters standing around in the background with the bulk of the focus on generic looking 'waifu bait'.

Which raises some concerns about design choices for the game in general despite a significant chunk of the community playing male characters.

The commercial I got in Youtube for the US was significantly more lame.

Someone needs to introduce the Western marketing team to the WAR's weapon of choice. Intimately.

Wait, what? This game isn't for weaboos?

I've been lied to.

Agreed. Frankly, the flood of female characters grows dull quite rapidly.

I'm hoping if they succeed in capturing those "WoW refugees" they're eyeing up that it moves the demographics in the same direction as WoW's in terms of character demographics.

They fixed the Hooman ear in /gpose beach scene

[Zumi]

Looks like they deleted the old video and reuploaded a new one with the human ears edited out. Now it looks like a Miqote.

If they were to make a FFXIV anime, expect a bit of slice of life in there with friendships breaking ingame and it showing them handling it irl, and irl moods effecting how they're acting ingame. I wish that was a joke, but we know that's how it'll be going.
