    Make a giveaway in the most popular websites, like mmosite.com mmorpg.com and such, that would give a 1 week trial account plus a exp boost item that gives a exp bonus up to lv 5 or 10.

    People might either get hooked, or hate it, but at least they get to try the game :P

    These MMO YouTube personalities would at least give a little interest in the MMO community.


    SAMBONZ AKA "lets play FFXIV"

    http://www.youtube.com/show?p=LtQJivej_oU

    YOGSCAST

    http://www.youtube.com/user/bluexeph...e=results_main

    Very popular in the MMO community have over 2 million subs, their videos average about 300k to 1 million, so if you want to spark interest these guys should get it.


    Jesse AKA OMFGCATA

    http://www.youtube.com/user/OMFGcata


    This guys basically became popular between WOTLK And CATA, giving out information and videos about the beta access he got. with over 300,000 subs he became I became one of his daily viewers during that expansion transition.


    SWIFTY

    http://www.youtube.com/user/johnsju?...e=results_main


    Mainly WOW PVP based I think he'll help give a PVP perspective to the AVG wow player interested in FFXIV

    I think if SE gave these guys beta access they'll for sure at least spark some interested in a game that has been long been dead to the outside world. I know after reading all the articles, comments and stuff about the new Realm Reborn trailer. I'm really Dishearten about all the bad talk and people loyal to the game still fighting against a sea of negativity.

    Much like the community here, we would like "OUR" MMO to survive and not depend on china to keep it a float, we don't want to be like SWTOR.


    as long FFXIV 2.0 can back it's shit up against 1.0, then this is free advertisement.
    to really get things going, advertise in the superbowl or use this guy

    Nope, it has to be amazing. Good won't generate sales anymore, we're not in early 2000. There are lot of competitors now.

    So in your oh so flawless logic, nothing will succeed in 2012 if it's not "amazing"? Are you a gamer from the late 2000s or something? Do you see how many indie titles succeed and they're not even "amazing"..just "fun to play"?

    Even MMO wise there hasn't been an amazing MMO that released in this generation, they've all been "Good" or "Bad", don't let hype confuse you with amazement.

    The threshold of where a title "succeed" is not the same for all games. XIV will never reach that threshold if it's good only.

    How indie games are even related to this discussion? It's not the same scale. They don't cost as much as a project like XIV.

    If XIV is "good", it will not stand out. And AAA MMOs have to stand out nowadays if they want to be profitable. Or it will just fail like most of titles released post-WoW. Glad to see that you have low expectations. It's like I'm hearing the XIV 1.0 Alpha players over again.

    That's the thing, if indie titles which doesn't cost as much as a "AAA title" can succeed by not even being amazing that should tell you it's not the fact something is "amazing" it's the fact that it's something fun to play which is what people want.

    XIV will never reach any potential simply because it already failed the initial launch, so the relaunch already has that stigma about it so even if it was the most amazing thing ever it will never reach that potential simply due to that fact. At minimum or even at best they can hope to hit XI Prime numbers and stay there for years, look at even the "amazing" MMOs like Rift and SWTOR, they all do well initially but it never stays simply because people fall back way too much on WoW due to it's popularity and not for what the games are on their own merit.

    Even SWTOR doing things differently with storytelling didn't save it. So it's nothing like "1.0 Alpha players all over again", it's the reality of the situation.

    well i think people would just be happy about a "real" final fantasy. which is more final fantasy like FF13 or what ever.
    and if they convince people of FFXIV fullfilling these wishes and dreams (here we have golden saucer, we have a limit break system, we have a classic job system, we have a summoner in it (we got carby ;XD).. then it really can attract a playerbase.


    they need just good reviews to convince people to try it out. reviews are good to attract a harcore MMO player base. Advertisement is good to attract casual players (which i think is not the primary gole for FFXIV).


    i do not need an MMorpg to stand out. i was not interested in SWTOR although it "stood out" to have a strict linear story line and fully voiced over cutscenes. those "i want to stand out wanna bes" MMorpgs like rift, SWTOR, Warhammer etc. havent been successfull in the end.


    an FF MMO could stand out a lot with just the franchise and typical gameplay and story elements. If it fullfills the MMorpg standards of today. Looking back FF11 didn't either. thats the first chance for the ff online franchise to stand out, if they making it possible to reach modern MMorpg standards.

    and afterwards they can do the "stand out" thing.
    FFXIV seem to be a lot better then what i played in FFXIV alpha test back then.. the scenario is much more final fantasy alike (Job systen, regions with charismatic things), better story telling (GC missions) smoother gameplay... and MMorpg standards of today (not only progress through grind content)
