I think its best to keep expectations low so when its good, its great. Its how i approach SE games.

But that is not healthy. Keeping low expectation for a game, you might be pleased with something that is mediocre. Remember what Zack FAir said, "Unattainable expectations are the best kind".

Anyway, I'm not saying we should have high expectation, but at least normal expectation for a game coming out in 2013.

This makes me think of the lowered expectations gag from MadTV...

[Doho]

I think it's best to keep expectations high! so when it's good it's AWESOME and you flail in enthusiasm
It's how I approach FFXIV. Other SE games, meh. lol

Lol, and that's the reason why I think 2.0 will fail as well no matter how much hard work will be put in.
People need to stop hyping everything to death and start having realistic expectations.
I expect some decent gameplay, that's all.
Not even ONE extremely hyped game has ever delivered, because with all the hype even really good games just CAN'T live up to the skyrocketing expectations (FFXIV 1.0, SWTOR, Tera, Diablo III, etc.)
It's always "Hm, I enjoy it, sure..but I expected more, I think I might quit soon, it just doesn't live up to my expectations."
Yeah well how could it if people expect heaven on earth..?!

I just hope FFXIV ARR will have enough players with realistic expectations to keep this game going, because all the over-hyped people will surely leave if they aren't getting an orgasm the second they log in for the first time.

I agree, but I still think hype has its place too. a team might suck hardcore and have a terrible record and logically it doesn't look like they're going to win, but come game time you can bet their fans in the stadium are going to be hyped, regardless of the realistic expectation of loss. just saying lol

[GodseijuroHiko]

My body is ready.

[Hycinthus]

Darn right all of our bodies are ready to take this.

[neorei]

My body is ready.

The general fealing so far outside of our little bubble is, Cgi is nice but we want to see game play.

They are going to have to knock it out of the park at Gamescom. A poor showing there and... well i don't even want to think about it.
