Belgian, do you mean something like: "In six months we're going to introduce craftable personal and party-based airships with full twitch control and epic sky battles against the Garlean Empire!" ?

Then yes, there would be massive media interest, however i can't see anything less making enough of a splash.
Many PS3 players won't be fooled that easily into buying a game with this sort of reputation.

On a side note, if you believe the sky battle thing is too difficult to make, you're wrong. Even i have have enough skill to make that sort of thing from scratch in say, unity3d engine and six months of work.

There's still quite a bit of people who were originally waiting for the PS3 (especially Japanese gamers, I personally know quite a big community waiting to play) and as for the airship thing? It's not hard, I can make a basic system in about 3 weeks, but for an MMO? There's a lot more to take into consideration. Even Skies of Arcadia's was pretty simplistic.
