No trailer at E3 LOL @ SE

[Colino]

And what would have been the impression if the trailer wouldn't have met expectation of medias? Even worse. SE only have one shot now. They cannot allow themselves to release anything related to XIV that's not perfect.

Yoshida said the trailer is finished. Read the letter.

Obviously if it's finished and it's a bad trailer now it will still be a bad trailer in August (and I doubt it, if there's one thing I still trust SE in is making good trailers, they've always been amazing with trailers).

i feel the gifs coming real soon...





huzzah!

Some people just don't under the reason behind what they did.. I'm leaving it at that

NO man, I think its more that people are tired of being strung along each time we reach an important deadline they set for themselves. Regardless of their reasons, telling people to expect big things about 2.0 at E3 this year for over a year and then pulling the plug on that just days before its set to go down, FOR WHATEVER REASON, is lame and does not give me and other long time players warm and fuzzy feelings inside about this company. You would think with as much dissapointment as this game has generated over the last 2 years, the company would try to focus on not dissapointing their player base any more than they already have, in any form.

Thats like me hyping your birthday present for a year, and then on your birthday going, oh man I forgot it, but I will bring it by next week, promise! No matter how cool it is after that its still pretty lame you didn't do what you say you were going to do all year. End of story.

Also, no one knows at what point was the trailer created, it could have been built around an older build of 2.0 which they didn't want to show off for all anyone but SE knows, this is exactly what I meant by 'quality', because they want something substantial to show along with something that will leave a good enough impression that makes people want the game. Much like the original XIV was built on a barely finished Crystal Tools engine that was clearly not designed for MMOs, so while it was pretty..it had many more problems.

What if they finished the Crystal Tower after the trailer was done for example? Wouldn't it be better to also show off a glimpse of that in the trailer even if it's just a fly through? That would have made for a better trailer overall, but as said we don't know the content but when companies tend to make trailers it's not always of the newest or even final build. Look at GTA V, even the reveal trailer looked pretty good yet it had almost..nothing.

It's not like to the trailer isn't finished. It's just not being released for 2 more months. So either way it wouldn't have mattered.

How do you plan to unveil a redesign to the public if you have no video? Pictures? Interviews? ....exciting

I'm with this guy. How am I supposed to judge how 2.0 will look without a non-gameplay, pre-rendered cinematic?

[Pus]

they still arn't confident with their progress to start a launch campaign yet?

We, I mean Legacy Players just wonder why they keep providing info by only silly texts so long time.
It may not reach the quality or just drop some work whatever but thing is still necessary to cover it for them.
I guess they merely haven't enough to convince us at this moment.
That means all roadmaps will go slide a month and half AGAIN.
So pity.

Sides...the trailer could reveal too much about how the 7th umbral era will end...so let us all soak up the remaining bits of the 7th umbral before it goes away...

So my thinking is that current Grand Companies will vanish into free companies for 2.0...all the current primal fights will end as well. Though the primals will probably return for 2.0 the way we fighting them now and rewards will cease...

WAIT FOR IT!!!..wait crap no time to wait must get all things...before all things go away!
