Gameplay Video ( of the Presentation) is up!

Hi All,

Even with the low-res video, Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 in *Pre-Alpha* state looks AMAZING!

Great job Yoshida-san & Team! Some thoughts:

• The Black Shround 2.0 - YES! Now *this* is what the Black Shroud should've looked like! I can't wait to visit it!
  
  

• The Drag 'n Drop UI / Menus are awesome. Very fluid and far more usable.

• The Town looked so much more inviting, unique, open and *fun* to be in (compared to Gridania current).

• Chocobo Ranch!

• As Yoshida-san said, Final Fantasy VII-inspired LIMIT BREAKS! Woo hoo!
  
  Now THAT is what FF14 needs more of! Classic Square hallmarks (like Cloud's Omnislash, etc.). Having Limit Breaks / Overdrives / Over-the-top, "OMG! Did you just see that?!" moments will be fantastic for the game (and get new players excited).
  
  The Black Mage Limit Break looked very cool (Meteor?)! I can't wait to see every Job's Limit Break in HD glory.

• Imagine the possibilities if they make the next Upgrade to Relic Weapons gain their own (Bonus) Limit Break! Excitement!

• While I realize there are logistics and potential issues here and there with Live Streaming Press Conferences, Square's Marketing Team should have done *something* to post HD Versions of 2.0 Gameplay, or at the very least the LIMIT BREAK Video (self-contained) that Yoshida-san showed.
  
  There's no reason why we couldn't have that video on Lodestone.

Imagine the huge amount of Positive Press Square could be getting if they provided an HD Live Stream (or a later Video) of this 2.0 Gameplay in Action, and the Limit Break Video!

It just feels weird and odd that this fantastic presentation is only available at a Press Conference at Gamescom only.

That being said, it's a great video and I hope the rest of the world can see a better quality version and start building the snowball that turns into an Avalanche of Excitement for 2.0's Launch!

I can't wait for 2.0!
