E3 Expectations

[Dawiichan]

I expect a short CGI trailer with a few in-game clips here and there.

Yoshi-P already said that in E3 they will show things that we already know about, but also that we were getting some nice treats in E3 as well. I expect us to also get some information to light a bit of a spark in the 2.0 teaser site which is coming live at E3 as well.

Personally, I don't expect any major information. Yoshi-P already stated that he was going to start releasing information about 2.0 periodically after E3. I only expect him to start the fire and add wood as the days go by.

E3 will, IMO, be the ultimate test to see if Yoshida really is the best man for the job. It's one of the biggest chances they have at promoting and getting people to talk about 2.0 and if they go all low-key on us, then they clearly have no idea what they're doing.

Yoshida said that they won't show what is not in Presenting status, They will have stuff to show.. but only what they completed thus far for 2.0. and of course other 1.0 stuff for the people that havent seen the new and improved changes.

I expect to see in game footage with no lag issues! lol.

On a serious note: a video of current content leading into a CGI for 2.0 and then some short clips of areas fighting etc flicking around, then a fade to black, final fantasy 2.0 new logo fading onto screen, then a sudden flash of Ultima end.

I think if they show this at the Sony stand they're gonna show things that relate it to old final fantasies such as ultima behemoth etc. this will spark new interest in the series fan base. They also might have a playable demo that Yoshi P or someone from SE will play through showing us some actual in game play, either on stage or at a computer with someone interviewing them. announcement of new XIV 2.0 website and then maybe some additional info here on the Lodestone for the oh so loyal XIV fans!

My expectation is that SE should have learnt their lesson by now and should know that 2.0 is pretty much the reason majority of us still hang around and that while some of us could wait until release as its not far, we need something to give us a little more hope/hype until then.

But ya know, its SE, could just be bullshit CGI.

^^This sums it up quite right for me. I just have this sense, they are going to drop the ball again, I hope I'm wrong, though.

This trailer is the tutorial for how SE should do their trailer.

Fancy CS (we know SE has in spades)
Stating and Explaining the Features (like the manifestos)
Gameplay (even if it is broken up or if they throw up the unfinished product disclaimer)

Because SE can't sell this game with a purely cinematic trailer. That's exactly what made the first version disappointing. I mean there are probably still people wondering when will we get synergy based attacks like that flaming arrow and the ice shield from the intro trailer.

(btw, we did not get a bahamut fight either..)

Nobody is wondering if they can make a cutscene and there's no point trying to sell the story with a trailer. Everyone's waiting to see the difference between the game they were given two years ago and this new game they expect people to pay for (will they be paying twice if they bought it the first time but haven't been keeping up?) Anyway that's my two cents but if they don't go into it with all this in mind then they will likely do the same as the original trailer...

And for reference this is FFXIV's original E3 trailer.

Whoever bought FFXIV 1.0 will get 2.0 free via Digital Download

Isn't it just going to be a massive patch? Saying it like that sounds like 1.0 would still be playable afterwards :/
