Please stop showing boring videos

[Tonkra]

Tell that to dumb/biased/retarded reviewers and/or the Youtube community. OP means people OUTSIDE this community is having negative reactions regarding these videos. THEY are the ones saying the videos are boring and whatnot.

Of course its boring to see a video clip about standard quests. But when there are 10 others to show up.. you can do Public events (Fate), Housing, Story missions, Low level instances, crystal tower and what not.
Every dumb would get the idea, that you can do so much more than classic questing.

in contrast if they are going to see there are some features like in GW2 but combines it with classic elements (quests) it could attract some players, especially those who thought either in GW2 just doing public quests is too boring or other way, just doing quests is boring. we all know that the instances of Final Fantasy are going to be great, especially when they are combined with a story.

negative feedback can quickly turn into positive feedback "oh it wasnt bad as i thought".
you guys are just too scary about those negative voices in my opinion.

i think its a much more bad idea to stop now.

THEY are the ones saying the videos are boring and whatnot. Besides, we know it's the cool thing nowadays to bash on SE and anything Final Fantasy, and that's why I also think SE should wait longer before releasing those videos to the public so they can make better, more exciting ones to shut them up.

I don't know if it is possible, but If anything, I think those videos shouldn't be shown anywhere outside of these forums.

^this 100 times =)

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but after my Google marathon through every site commenting on these videos i only saw excitement and happiness about the changes...any negative comment on them comes from within this forum....specifically the loud minority...

Would you rather them show nothing at all? There are people who are not able to experience the Alpha, so this is the closest they can get to it. With seeing these videos, they're able to provide feedback that can hopefully help with the development of the game. The other things you're asking for may still be in development and maybe all that's ready to be shown at this point is the content in the Alpha.

I'd rather them not showing anything at all versus showing boring videos that only give negative presses and lower players' trusts and interests.

The video about crafting and gathering wasn't boring. It was very interesting.

Lies and slander and you know it...

Hi all, i have heard a lot of bad opinions about ARR due to the boring videos that SE is releasing to the public. I know there are a lot of improvements there but that's not the way to show it to the people. Instead showing that kind of videos u can try showing a party of 4 or 8 in a dungeon, something with life, music, faster, showing the combo system, moving, showing cut scenes, new skills, ifrit, moogles, chocobos, places (not running 3 mins in gridania, something faster cuz that's so boring), etc.. there are a lot u can show right now so please show it before the people keep saying ''that's so boring, stand still and hitting 123123123123'' (cuz that's what u showed in the last video).
Better marketing SE please!, that king of videos are not helping.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I rather enjoy their videos and Appreciate that they are even showing us anything.

I appreciate the videos, but if these videos are in the intent of bringing newcomers in, then they could do a bit more. Its a good start and shows the basic of an action, but at this point, people want to see the potential the game has. Give us a reason to be excited. If I showed these videos to anyone thinking about playing FFXIV, they wouldn't help at all. These videos are mostly for people who played the previous version.

If it is their intent to only show it off to current players, then this is right, but newcomers want to see content like dungeons, FATE, etc.

In SE's defense however, it is alpha, and this is the most they can show. Other areas and content I believe are still being worked on.

I would expect videos like these till beta comes in and the game can flourish itself more.

As an alpha stress test (which SE couldn't "stress" enough that's what it is...pun intended) there isn't really much to show. I like it that we are getting to see something of the game even when its not finished.
