Check Point, PATV's gaming news program, mentions FFXIV

[Nero]

Yes this, right here! You hit it right on the nail, and I think everyone is forgetting that they are reporting on it looking through the same lens that most people will look at it through

So you are saying most people are narrow-minded?

I don't get the anger here either. They stated whats going on and said the same thing about the cool yet gc trailer's that we have been.

No, they did not. Not a single word on whats going on, beside saying that FF-Marketing includes CGI. ( o rly? ). Unless Spirits Within is related to FFXIV now.

"They've Rewritten the game from the ground up with a new graphics engine, New back end data structure, New game play, New missions. They have really done a number on this and there re-releasing this as final fantasy 14 A realm reborn."

Save for the zone revamps that's whats going on with Arr in the broad strokes. They said nothing negative save for ripping on the gc only trailer. The same thing we have been doing.

And where is the Info? Thats just a "little" overview of knowledge we have since the announcment of 2.0.

New Graphic Engine? What is it like? Good? Bad?
New Game Play? What is it like? Good? Bad?
New Missions? Eh? What do i do? Collecting Apples?

"Well we dont have Info about the Game and we cant find something bad about 2.0, so lets just bash on the CGI and compare it to Spirits Within."

I couldnt care less actually about Stuff like that, but the Grade of stupidity in "Internet-TV-Shows" is getting ridiculous.

Remove the Fanboy/girl sticks from your posteriors and have a good chuckle now and then.

Until they release in game footage, they deserve any criticism they get. They can say they are fixing x/y/z, they can say they are showing us that they fixed it on a certain date, but to roll out the beginning of your campaign for 2.0 with two CGI trailers is just bad marketing.

Until we see that things look better, fixed, etc, with in game footage, then everything "planned" is bullshit. Until we get on the alpha/beta servers and play it ourselves, we can't say anything is fixed. Taking Square at their word is extremely bad policy because their history dictates otherwise.

You should continue to be objective and criticize this game until you log into 2.0 and the game is satisfactory.

You should continue to be objective and criticize this game until all of the new players log into 2.0 and enjoy a finished product and the game grows into an actual MMO.

Until then, you're feeding undeserved hype.

You act as though CGI trailers are so unusual for marketing.. lmao

Smash and bash them all you like but their impression is the publics impression of XIV atm. Until SE release more material to the general mass to work with that's how they'll view XIV. No ones outside gonna spend time to research the new improvement unless it's fed to them and so far the teaser site doesn't do that.

[Doho]

anybody in their right mind would know that most of checkpoint is just gaming satire with like 5% news if any. take whatever they say with a grain of salt. it's almost like getting bent out of shape about Zero Punctuation (if you don't know what that is google it)

in short, Penny Arcade isn't out to get Final Fantasy XIV. Square-Enix always gets mad publicity at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), and I'll bet anything that there will be some sort of XIV promotion there this year. I'll be there, I'll let you know how it turns out lol.

[Orophin]

It shouldn't be assumed that the CGI trailers are the end all be all of their marketing. Would anyone actually have been HAPPIER had we not gotten them? It was nice to at least get a glimpse of what's coming in the new game. SE chose to reserve in-game footage for Gamescon. What's the big deal?

An uninformed group of unfunny d-bags calling themselves a "news source" being uninformed and d-baggish? Who would hava guessed?
