FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Opening Movie Now Live! (01/07/2013)

[Ryokyu]

For anyone wanting screenshots, I made a bunch here.
For End of an Era screenshots, it's in a past post here.

SHORT BUT VERY SWEET!
Some of my notes:
-A nice view of post time skip Limsa Lominsa! (non artwork)

-The Circle of Knowing members seem to have NOT teleported as they have new equipment/clothing changes. This would infer that Cid/GC leaders did not teleport as well...
-My take on the eye mark of the CoK members is it has to do with the devices. The aether distortion detector theory makes sense, so perhaps the mark indicates they're watching the aether as "guardians?" (it is an eye after all)
-Whatever the mark is, I'm inclined to believe it is not the legacy mark for players based on the assumption it has to do with the devices/storyline. It could be, but I would think the CG Midlander and his party would have whatever mark legacy gets...
-Saw an interesting close-up of the Crystal Tower with some gold/copperish things attached to it...

-It seems like SE changed the 3 emotes in one face at 7:35 based on our reactions lol (altho they could always just say the initial trailer had unfinished cg prone to changes)
-The CG Midlander's Chocobo is definitely a Legacy Chocobo from the armor and mark on it's beak. The other members appear to be riding rental chocobos. Pics below for convenience to compare the cg to artwork:

nice job there good pic u got from the video keep the good work

You are an amazing artist and compiler.

I bookmarked your site (I also used some of your images in a few memes over at the meme forum (HEY ENKIDOH, CHECK IT OUT!).

I hope that was okay. I especially like your demoreel, showing here:

OKAY, now that my blatant advertisements and tangential remarks have been noted, back to your regularly scheduled inconsequential bickering~~~

Is that...it?

you mean the opening and the beta sign up? yep that it what did you think?

[Kirito]

Is that...it?

It's more than what they could have given us. They could have just updated us on how preparation for the beta test is going and said to wait till next time...

Enlighten me, what were you expecting?!

What answers did you expect from the opening... which would not be a spoiler for the new story line?!
Usually the opening brings questions to be solved by the player as they play the game...

its not really an opening, its a montage.

An army of chocobos
Appearence of Odin
Behemoth
Crystal tower

None of these are explained, none of them are coherent, what is the point of them?
