TGS Trailer ahoy!

[Warlock]

I want them to release the full CGI trailer! :O i hope it explains well why the 12 aren't been summoned and instead we are frozen 5 years in time... about that trailer ill have to finally be negative lol but i didn't like the editing at all that's about it

Unless the video has been upscaled for the gameplay portions, I doubt it's from a PS3 given that the video is 1080p and the word so far on the PS3 version is 720p.

I really hope you are right. But as usual we have no clarification so allow the forum panic to continue

I'll get you all started...

'Wah! You suck SE, you are going to ruin the game'
'WTF I quit'
'OMG you gaiz its just Alpha'
'Derp, you using the alpha excuse, it's too late in development for that!11!'
'White Knight!!!'
'Troll!'
'Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgslurpurgle DDDDDD:'

...Actually I think I have covered it all now.

Should've started the "rant" with "Hello guys, Rokien here and <insert horrible opinion here>".

Star you can give out opinions but you can't take them? It's one thing to be optimistic but you sir are a fanboy which is fine(read most of your threads/comments). But when people voice their concerns that's all their doing. I'm playing this game as an average gamer, I have no ties to any other game currently but this one and I rarely post. When something concerns me, I comment and give my personal opinion just like during alpha and beta 2 years ago. I don't want that mistake to happen again where we all say "yeah it's just alpha" and hope something amazing comes from it.

Fanboy? nah I am a "fan" though but I am no "Fanboy" I just like to stay positive, because no one else in here really understands that word much, everyday is "What did SE do wrong this time?" Type comments, so I am here to merely just keep people in good Spirits, nothing more nothing less.

FYI, I haven't been playing FFXIV much because real life stuff, and I feel there no point to right now until ARR.

and Yes I can take opinions just fine.. Rokien on the other hand... ( think happy thoughts.. you can do it starlord)

Saying that this is bad because "Duh well OBVIOUSLY it's from the alpha of iOS version!!" is not a fact.

It's you thinking they're intentionally advertising the game to the world with the worst version.

I was really looking forward to the new trailer, and hopefully seeing SE put it's best foot forward and alleviate some of the fears/concerns that have been circulating about the forums, and instead have only managed to reinforce the reality that my pleasingly lifelike character that i have spent quite a bit of time developing, will be replaced with a dead eyed plastic looking toon.

But at least the world looks better? i guess?

Is this a good trade off? .....maybe i should attempt some positive thinking in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary and just convince myself that it is an issue that will be addressed after launch.

Soon after.

Please?

Thank the 12. I understand we seem to be loosing some detail but for the love of god I can't go back to block-hands.

I wonder if peoples attitudes will change when/if SE tells us this is PS3 footage.

I find it increasingly difficult to read posts on this forum because of people's instant negative reactions to everything that is given/shown to them without really any thought at all.

It doesn't take much thought to give an educated guess that this is not PC footage:
1.) All of the trailers with game footage in them that came before this one looked spectacular game wise.
2.) Live demonstrations of the game at various venues up to this point have reinforced the great graphics. (otherwise people attending would have made mention of how terrible the game looks long before this trailer).
3.) People attending the event also feel that it is most likely PS3 footage because Yoshi-P said that PS3 footage would likely be shown at TGS.
4.) PS3 is 6 years old and is lacking compared to PC's of it's time and obviously those of current day tech. Just because it can make single player games look fantastic does not mean it can maintain the same graphic quality while dealing with everything else in an MMO world.
5.) The team has stated several times that the PS3 has been a challenge to put ARR onto while trying to maintain the quality visuals we are used to now.

I realize not everyone is exactly in the loop when it comes to understanding how PC's/Consoles function. I am not all knowing when it comes to them either though building PC's is a hobby of mine.

So let me ask this:
Other than the fact that it has not been officially stated, what makes some of you feel that this is not PS3 footage?
Why would the graphics suddenly go to hell compared to what's already been shown if this is a PC version?(Ignoring the idea that they ran it on low graphic settings).

Let's try thinking rather than freaking out for once. I already see steam coming out of ears.
