Keep Us Informed

[A_Hortensia]

I have a pretty unpopular opinion... but:

I think it's totally okay if SE goes quiet for a while.
I feel like they did a lot of great work when they weren't directly involved in player opinions and requests. I hope SE worries less about us, who have already fallen for XIV.. and focus more on the new life and blood of 2.0

I know a great many FF fans who didn't know XI even launched/existed.. and the same thing happened with XIV (for better or worse). I know a lot of people who would've played XI had they learned of it sooner.. but eventually decided against it because they felt they would be joining in "too late" and didn't want to "catch up" (and I'm talking.. '07-'09)

Hell, even I didn't know FFXIV launched when it did and I'd been excited about the idea since this video (in apparently '05-'06!?): http://youtu.be/sgtZvn5c4e4
I hope they market hard and strong, and try to get attention of communities outside of the lodestone with all of their features and updates.

Thankfully with social media today it'll be easier for me to spread the word and excitement (got my '06-'07 CoP static excited about ARR, and various other people) but we can only do so much as players. I really hope we're not the main demographic they want to appeal to.
