No trailer at E3 LOL @ SE

Go all the way out there for interviews.. sounds like a wasted trip if you go by that logic...

He went on an world trip a while back for interviews, I would say that going to one venue for multiple interviews makes much more sense than travelling around the world and doing small interviews in different countries... wouldn't you ?

Word of mouth, is actually more powerful then any media could bring.. 1 person leads to another person etc etc.. in due time Millions of people will know about it..If they don't do it at E3 so what? Word of Mouth Spreads like fire..

Hahaha .. I guess thats why News Papers and the internet exist ..

Trailer= Gamescom ( another big Convention that's right there along with E3). Gamescom is in August, Alot people attend that Convention.. People say its a quite month (maybe in USA yeah) but not in Europe.. and when new info comes in, they have interviewers there.. their will be Youtube vids about FFXIV 2.0 in August.. Everyone WILL see it..

It won't gain anyone, but at this point it doesn't hurt anyone. People that plays will still plays, people that doesnt know anything about FFXIV will remain clueless.

Nobody is getting hurt. Game doesn't fail or succeed on 1 trailer.

Amen brother!

Here's the thing: There's a difference between being critical than consonantly negative to the point you do nothing but sit around and berate FFXIV/SE/People who play it. Being critical is looking at it objectively.

My point exactly. You're not looking at anything objectively when you state the exact opposite of what was written in the letter.

Common sense is a great thing to have, also not being sheltered you'd learn things about how the world works.

And not being a condescending is just as helpful, since no one will take you seriously if all you do is speak with a holier than thou attitude.

I don't and i'm not making up facts. When i say something that is not based on what SE told us, i always make sure that is shows it's my personal opinion. I don't go around saying SE said something but actually means X and claim its a hard cold fact because I said so.

That's what they all say.

[Onidemon]

Oh don't come up with that BS...you know that even if SE shows a trailer people would complain about it and say "THATS IT???" So no don't say that because its not true, a trailer is neither gonna be helpful nor hurt.

I agree with you. A sucky trailer would have gotten pple to complain... , yet at least pple would be talking about it. But to be honest the only pple who would have complained would have been us, not the pple that don't play or never seen XIV, who are the pple i thought SE was trying to get.

There's also more than one office in multiple areas, which is why he tends to travel. Most companies don't travel to a lot of countries for interviews (rather the interviewers travel to them) because said company tend to only have 1 headquarters and not even multiple branches unless they're made up of many smaller companies or big enough to, SE is one of the handful of companies that has branches in more than 2 countries.

Don't agree with me, I don't like you.

Trailer CGI or not = publicity, hype. E3 = the best place for a gaming company to promote their games.


Now show me where in his letter does he say there will be gameplay and demos at E3? pple called this weeks before the letter and now you still want to believe there will be something even bigger then a trailer at E3? Dude the game is not even on their official list.

Trailers are designed for hype nothing more, some quotes from mmorpg forums (only one I could be bothered to look through)

Thanks for all the info!, I wasnt so sure if I would play this again but with the things they have added it sure has got my attention again. Thanks again for the info.

Shows that changes get attention, not trailers.

You can expect a very boring game, possibly a little regret for impulse buying.

Shows how some people who aren't playing see the game (even if they have not tried it since release)

I agree, I returned for the free week and the game is still not ready for release. At least they are taking some time on the relaunch, its not due until the end of the year.

At the moment the game doesnt deserve more than a mediocre score just because combat and the UI is so terrible, which is a shame because the graphics and world are amazing.

Shows that even after the Welcome back campaign people who are keeping up with the game, know there are still huge problems with the game.

Yes I know that this is the views of the minoroty, but post me to something that will make hype benificial for the game, right now it will be Final Fantasy XIV trailer coming up, "wtf people are still playing that failure of a game" but showing changes will draw everyone's attention, and hype the game alot more than a trailer that shows nothing of the game.

Yea, I was simply giving a good reason why he was going to E3, I still don't expect much new info from E3 though and almost definitely don't expect any in game footage.

My expectation are so low I almost don't care any more and that's not a good thing either.
