Are people recognizing ARR?

Are we forgetting that this is a Japanese game? I don't remember XI having any TV ads in North America, but X-2 had plenty. Weren't they released within a year or so of each other?

I do hope they treat NA and EU viewers to the same ad campaign as they have in Japan, though. From what I can tell, the JP don't embrace Western games as much as they do Western culture, so I won't be surprised if XIV runs virtually unopposed for top-selling MMO in Japan.

Edit: Not sure what I'm trying to get at here. It just seems like they'll have a harder time getting an ad on TV in North America because all the ad time is filled up with garbage ads about herpes.
