End of an Era Trailer

[Vilhem]

This trailer is getting overwhelming praise all over the internet. Best CGI trailer, Best MMO trailer, even some regular haters are enjoying it.

Hell yah! All the haters are now saying they can't wait to see ARR and switched from "I might come back to check out 2.0" to "I'm definitely going to check 2.0 out!"

Remember when Yoshi told us about Free Company can control one primal (something like that)? Bahamut maybe one of them and the Garleans just releasedd it! Wtf, so powerful. @_@

I wouldn't want to control him.

Rather, as soon as it's possible to fight him i'm going at him with a vengeance for poor louisouix.

Good Gracious! I don't know how many times I've watch the trailer, but everytime I do, it just rocks my socks for lack of better words! Sheesh that vid/ending was NICE!!!!!

Well, the fact the 12 sealing failed is likely Hildebrand's fault. He's not a Primal, and he's probably clinging somewhere on Bahamut for dear life.

Thank you very kindly.

Also, I have a semi-big question that I can't remember being answered...

Are ALL players, new and old, going to have the same start in ARR? Or are the Legacy players getting a special intro explaining things when you wake up?

Like:

Brand New Player --> Log-in, Character Creation, Arrives in City, Tutorial Level,

7th Umbral-event Player (7UP!) --> Log-in, Character Edit, Special Zone/Cutscene, Arrive in City

EDIT:

I only ask because brand new players weren't involved in the trailer/last battle. Is it being implied they were, or are we going to have a slight change in the opening for players who were actually present?

Gaius Van Baelsar is one of the most interesting characters i think, will be interesting to learn his origin and agenda in ARR. I think he may be the descendant of a nation that garleans conquered long ago. I say this because, it seems like he knew what was inside Dalamud all along. This is a quote taken from the "Don't Hate the Messenger Quest":



This kind of suggests that Gaius knew what Dalamud was, it also suggests that whatever is up there has been growing in power. This might explain why the sealing spell did not work, the spell might have been strong enough to seal him the first time but he has grown more powerful now.

You're absolutely right about Gaius and this lore was in game. He was originally the ruler of a kingdom that was taken by the empire, though I forget the name. Cid talks about it. If I can find it in my folder of saved game lore, I'll post it.

Dalamud gives you wings.

Every ending marks a new beginning..

And from the flames of destruction, that new beginning rises.

Come forth, great heroes! Bear witness to A Realm Reborn!

The video is unbelievable; possibly the best CG video / game CS I have ever seen; better than the opening to FFXII, which I thought was great. I haven't played in two months and I am super amped for ARR now. Love the great press around the web on the trailer right now.
