Why is the game not OUT there in the media/mmo sites?? Devs/Yoshi gotta get on this!

...snipped to respect your screenspace...

Didn't hurt my feelings any. Escapist is excellent though, worth checking out. The Verge seems to be as well. I just picked a couple links from my Google News results nearly at random; ordinarily I never go to MTV. I didn't even know they had a gaming site.

Gamespy did cover the trailer first though, and link to it in their post on discontinued content, so I don't think that criticism of their coverage sticks.

i think its a bit early , probably sites will start to write about 2.0 near open beta to release.

and maybe when we see the first ingame footage at Gamescom 2012 in mid of august. (youtube here we come) ;XD

I don't think they should advertise before there's any real information to give, but I agree they need to advertise MUCH more. They never even advertised XI very well. Most FF fans I've talked to weren't even aware that XI existed (dunno where they thought that number went) or that FF had any MMOs. And still most people don't seem aware that XIV exists. SE needs to get XIV into into game magazines, and maybe have some TV spots.

Because gamescom have not started yet.

I have never heard of the verge, siliconera, or the escapist,

How have you never heard of Escapist?

Because if you can't use a search to find past information on when/where the "flood" of new information is going take place perhaps you can't find other things on the internet either?

(don't mean to troll but how many of these threads do we really need?)

[TheVedis]

media wont bite every tiny bit of info that comes out
they are waiting for the promised "flood" of info thats soon to come, its hard to work with tiny bits of info, but its easy to write about large ammounts

So I go to the website today to see what's up and I happily see the brand new website, new trailer, it all looks so awesome. I am so happy this has happened and 2.0 is looking to be just awesome but where is the coverage? i don't see mention of 2.0 anywhere outside of SE! Nobody other than all of us and the people we preach ffxiv to know about it! Yoshi and devs.. cmon get on it! get your hard work out there and show the mmo community whats up because as of right now not a lot of the gamers really know the magnitude of 2.0, it is indeed a new game and needs to be marketed as such.

I see other threads similar to this, we realize it, Yoshi you gotta realize it too! it really deserves the attention, we need NEW REVIEWS by IGN, new PREVIEWS by mmorpg.com, coverage in the official playstation magazine and the PS3 magazine, we need coverage by PC Gamer.

Devs/forum moderators/yoshi check this out and get whoever needs to be ontop of it ontop of it.. fast! so that everyone knows what we know and that is how awesome the new ffxiv is gonna be

Because it isn't August yet. Almost but not quite there, they said information about 2.0 will start being released in August.

Because this game is dead and will stay dead even after 2.0.

^ Idiot.

I don't think pushing ARR in media outlets with 1.0 running would be a wise decision.

they used stuff from 1.0 on the NEW website @_@.

SE said months ago they had 2.0 up and running no reason they cant show anything more than the screenshots they have put out, if they dont market it, it will fail. words & trailers mean nothing.
time is counting down its already august 1st in japan.a screenshot on the site a week or more info about 2.0 a week would be good.
