Press and player reactions to the new XIV

[Seif]

Let's gather some links on how the trailer was featured in the gaming news.

Do people actually understand that it's more than a patch?
I think future trailers should highlight the diffrences between 1.0 and 2.0.

Sadly, from comments i've seen on a few sites so far, there's an air of "Oh god, this is gonna be a train wreck".
People seem to be a bit reluctant about giving the game another chance, despite it being markedly improved.

A lot of the time when I see negative posts on XIV articles, my first thought is NCsoft employee.

Because people that don't play or follow the game really close would have no idea about such stuff.

1) It's pretty self explanitory
2) compared to the intricacy of other FF stories, FFXIV's story is on par with a children's coloring book.

Huh? What? You were talking about changes that happened already and what's coming in 2.0, so I assumed you were talking about stuff like patches and gameplay changes that are coming, to which I once again say: someone not following closely/playing the game will not really know and understand that stuff and its importance. Dunno why you're suddenly talking about plot.


Also intricacy and FF story doesn't really fit too much in one sentence (oh god I better ready my shield :P)

In regards to sub plots, I'd say pre xi was pretty intricate. At least for video game standards.

It doesnt really show the game has been fixed lol, hipster won't like it and will start posting in every game site on how SE never learns anything and FFXIII was terrible game and only FFXIII fabula nova will saves SE from bankrupcy.

I remember dickblankets like this. They're the same ones that said FFXI would bankrupt SE after WoW released.

Forgot about the DBs saying "pfft where's my FFVII HD remake" -_-

The word map-system here sounds misleading. It makes me think the map ui was just tweaked instead of having completely new terrain.

Commenters seem to also not get what the update is about mostly.
I hope SE takes note and puts a lot of money to marketing to make people gove XIV a chance.
