Gameplay Video ( of the Presentation) is up!

[Mishakai]

OK, I'm officially excited now.

Brb, buying FFVII

On these forums we are the loyal customers who have stuck with this game for a long time and they cant show this vid to us first before showing it so some fracking random germans at Gamescon.

You are not more entitled to see a video than "these fracking random germans". First that's really offensive, then today was medias/professionals only at Gamescom.

Does it makes sense to promote a game through medias first rather through customers that will get the game no matter what? Ask yourself the right question seriously.

SE needs to convince medias more than anything know, and certainly not these forums. We will try 2.0 no matter what, even if we had 0 information we would at least try, don't deny it. And we will most likely do whatever we can to get into alpha and beta tests.

So yeah, it makes more sense for journalists to see it first rather than current XIV fans.

The water looks too wet.

Thanks for posting this link to the video, looks good.

But I find it incredibly sad the first time we have to watch some ingame footage and its from some random guy whos uploaded a poor quality video to youtube with some guy speaking in german in the background because SE didnt want to release any offical ingame footage vid just yet. They will never learn, it was obvious it was going to be leaked before they had the chance to show us this on the new FF website.

I just dont understand there thinking and it pisses me off. On these forums we are the loyal customers who have stuck with this game for a long time and they cant show this vid to us first before showing it so some fracking random germans at Gamescon.

Yeah thats lovely SE, real sweet.

I actually cant believe what i just read.

While I don't agree with anyone's tone of entitlement, I do agree with the notion that it makes sense to have these videos readily available on your own Web site.

That way when these media outlets write their reports, they can link to beautiful HD versions.

No one is entitled to anything, but having these videos available is common sense for good marketing. You're average consumer won't come back to see the trailer if it's not there in their face right away.

As a journalist, we're taught that a reader generally gives print up to 15 seconds and Web up to five seconds. After that they look for pictures or video and move on. So unless these media are writing in a way that's going to whip the uninterested into a frenzy, it's best for SE to have their bases covered.

Just be patient for that. The message saying that no video will come also says "at the moment". Which suppose that this may change in the future. We will get video in due time. SE decided that now it wasn't the time. I am sure there is a good reason behind this.

TGS is around the corner. Also FF 25th anniversary event in Japan. Who knows what will happen in these two events that will come in September.

I'm happy with what I have seen already :d I'd rather than and be happy again in one month, rather than be super happy now and having nothing to eat for a month afterward

[Halisstra]

My expectations are lowered to a more realistic level now. A shame the game didn't launch like this.

[ejiboo]

so stoked. thanks to the team that's making this happen.

The thing is, a lot of us have been told to "just wait" for three years.

"It's only beta, just wait till release." "It's a brand new MMO, just wait for the first few patches." "Yoshida just took over, just wait till they get comfortable." "Just wait till the non-existent Golden Patch." "I know they promised video at E3, just wait till Gamescom." "I know they said 'all summer long,' but just wait till mid August." "I know they promised gameplay at Gamescom, just wait till TGS."

Again, no one is entitled to anything, but there comes a time when consumers need to draw a line in the sand and hold a company accountable.

If a company is going to boast a "flood" then they need to start by opening the gates. Not putting a drop in a pond and hoping for the best.
