An old tradition.

[Endemerrin]

Posted something similar over on Eorzeapedia, but I thought I would toss it here for those who browse these forums. I thought the community might get a kick out of it.

I'm sure a lot of you remember the days when people would make linkshell "opening" videos in FFXI. They'd use the model viewer, and ramp it up to be a sort of parody of anime openings. Well, I decided back in March that I wanted to bring that tradition into FFXIV.

All I had seen on youtube were people who took all the cutscene and CG clips of FFXIV, mashed them together with a song, and claimed it as their linkshell recruitment video (not that there's anything wrong with that). I decided to do something different. Of course, we lack a model viewer that was as functional as FFXI's, so filming really active and engaging scenes was extremely difficult. Trying to tie in metaphors to the video and music made that even more mind-numbing.

...And I hope I didn't botch the Japanese.

This is the first time I've ever tried to tackle a video like this, so it's extremely amateur. Sorry. Bring on the hate. Anyways, I hope some of you get a kick out of it. I've also got a few different videos of FFXIV-related material up on that channel as well. ^^'

You can find the video here.
