E3 EXCITEMENT THREAD!

Not to derail, but here is a good question for you guys... Do you think we'll look forward to each expansion the way we look forward to 2.0?
DO you think SE will be as forthcoming with info on said expansions as they are with 2.0?

I really hope so... Honestly... I love the anticipation of 2.0 just as much as I will probably love playing it when it releases

That's a very good question. Ever since the XIV team was restructured this has probably been the best of example of communication with a player base I've seen. I'm not so sure we'll be getting info as frequently for expansions since there's obviously a lot more info to give out from the start with a whole new version update, most of which they likely still haven't revealed, but at the very least I'm hoping that attitude remains. Player polls and such, etc etc.

Any source for that? All I've seen them say is "2.0 trailer" not "2.0 Opening Cinematic."

E3 is their moment to have the world's attention to prove 2.0 will have turned XIV around. A CGI-only trailer will be met with a resounding "so what?"

Ironic, given how most E3 trailers tend to be CG trailers or of unfinished stuff that never ends up being the actual thing lol, remember Zelda for Gamecube? How it ended up as cel-shaded? (WW was still a good game though.) CGI is what excites people every developer knows this, hell they even have live-action stuff shown off show that you'll almost never see in-game.

I bet there will be a CGI CS showing clips of whats happening with Dalmung, but I think yoshi will show some in-game footage because people NEED to see just how much has improved.

I don't know exactly how they plan to do 2.0 at E3, but I imagine they will try to show something even in a game montage during the Sony E3 Conference since they will likely want to pimp the upcoming PS3 beta test along with the actual release of it on the PS3 after 2 years of near public silence on that release. What I would love is if a rep or Yoshida can show up and talk about the release (even if he doesn't have a demonstration) followed by a quick gameplay/CG trailer to show off the new vision. And then rest goes to the new promotional site. Remember they are making a new teaser site for 2.0, they will need some way to get a larger audience to go visit that site and only the press conferences get that kind of exposure.

Don't expect to much at E3 other than a trailer the real information will come after.
