Naoki Yoshida's Japan Expo Attendance (07/06/2012)

[Rane]

Square Enix conference Saturday 07 July, 15h00-16h00, Video game stage
The Future of Final Fantasy XIV online with Naoki YOSHIDA

this is from the website

A one-hour presentation. Hmmm... I don't think this is necessarily likely, but it would be nice if they showed a bit of in-game footage like they did in private for interviewers during E3. I suspect that they would have to have a more complete build in order to do that, however. Some of the E3 interviewers mentioned that monsters weren't moving yet (since the game wasn't connected to servers) and the jumping animation had yet to be implemented. They would never show something like that in public, because people would misunderstand, assuming that the final game would be like that. Then we'd get all sorts of negative press from uninformed websites (which is hardly a new thing, but still).

So I suppose it's probably still too early for public in-game demonstrations, but I can still dream...

The fact that lodestone and FFXIV related (2.0) news has been dead silent after E3, I am assuming they were preparing for the Expo. In which case, I would bet we'll see more screenshots and video's on the teaser sight very soon.

This further confirm my suspicions.....

"At end of this week there are events such as Japan Expo and up till the real promotion start date we will be putting up new images, movies and new information so please look forward to it"

This is due to begin in about 2 hours and 15 minutes or so, is there any information on a live-stream of the event or some kind of blog covering it?

[neorei]

If it starts at 15.00 in france time, it will start in about 40 minutes. Am I wrong?
