First one is the 1.0 opening cinematic. Bottom is today's 2.0 tease.

Seems like the same character but damn has the CGI gotten better.

still dreamy <3_<3

He doesn't look like such a noob casual anymore.

QFT, even if we were noobs too back in 2010. I remember those times when we could see naked people running all around the city and region to craft/deliver their local leves, and Lv. 35 archers still wearing rags because of the lack of money/skill to buy/synthesize high-end clothes, and the NPCs which scammed you asking 100K for a single weapon to be repaired.

And people being so amazed to hear you eventually managed to reach 50s.

Anyone notice the Lalafell WHM is the same conj in the original opening, the Miqo'te bard is the same girl from the Inn. So is the Roegadyn PLD I think. The only one not there is the Elezen woman and Elezen man from the inn but either one of them could be the BLM.

Because it would be a bad marketing choice to have a "bard" as the "hero" in the trailers. The trailers display the respective job gear and I honestly think they decided to have something more mainstream and standard for the public gaming audience. Then again does not explain why the MRD turned into PLD...

I'm just confused why hes not a paladin

[Resheph]

I wonder why he changed to war...thought he was archer ;p

Not that you cant change jobs...I'm just sayin

I always assumed that what happened in the game's original cinematic was a memory of someone else that he relived through the echo when he touched the leve plate--I think it depicts events that took place 10 or 20 years before the game's setting, the battle over Mor Dhona? So him being an archer in the fight with the Marlboro wouldn't really matter. He also seems to be a gladiator when they actually leave the adventurer's guild at the end of that cinematic...

At any rate this is a game where you can play any class you want so it makes sense to me! I think I actually started this game as a Miner, originally intended to play as a Gladiator, and ended up with Black Mage as my main, go figure!

Does he even have a name??? We should name him!

[Rau]

Does he even have a name??? We should name him!

Aldo!!

Also, he had a 2handed sword in the original trailer ; ;

[HiirNoivl]

lol Aldo?! That's not pretty-boy enough. I dub him Camelot!

[Goufunaki]

I shall call him...Gorbash!

[JackDaniels]

the trailer said we where "somewhere" for some time and now back to Eorzea so he aged.
But it does look even better
