Please stop showing boring videos

**Xquiel** · 12-08-2012 06:46 AM

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.

Edit: I really appreciate what SE is doing showing us alpha gameplay, but this is not the purpose of the thread, what i have seen is that people is already comparing the Alpha version with GW2 and wow, and they dont like what they're seeing. I know this is alpha and everything, the problem is that not everyone knows about it and they are already judging improperly.
So I think it's better to SE to wait a little longer and release a better video to make the people want to play the game.
Edit 2: this is what i'm talking about, some id**** talking about FFXIV ARR

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

Let me tell you everything there show is the only thing in Alpha there one dungeon and boring quest so ya sorry alpha is just stress testing they wont be shit load of stuff to do. Beta would have F.A.T.E system and other stuff and other area to go.

Yes, i prefer to not show that kind of videos to the public, people dont like to see boring videos at all and the game is not showing the full potential.
About feedback? that's why we have alpha testers, cuz the only feedback we're getting from that videos is ''boring, GW2 is better, i'm tired of 123123123, etc...''
I know we want to know how is alpha is right now, but this is not the right way cuz we're not getting good feedfack from the people

We still have at least a couple months before we near release of ARR - they cant let all the good stuff out at once.. but they also want players to have something to look at while they wait to get into alpha/beta.

I think these are more to the player videos then they are to the world (not that they would be disappointed if they brought in good hype lol)

You're running under the assumption that the alpha test implements the full content that beta or release day ARR does.

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.
