I didn't think the trailer was that impressive. The biggest problems were the pacing of the trailer - it didn't really carry a strong "trailer narrative", and by that I don't mean a story, but the idea where it shows you what happens. There was always so much going on because they purposely transitioned from move to move to move or a super brief clip and it created a visual overload where nothing made sense and it looked like they were trying to hide anything "digestible". The "best" moment of the trailer was the great After Effects [or whatever] work [for the first time in the FFXIV trailers]. The XIV was slow, deliberate, digestible, and commanding.

I would have left the beard off of Cid - looks forced. I wasn't impressed with the voice acting either, oh well.

my sentiment exactly

Oh no..
Please, no....

I want to scream at SE right now.

"HAVE YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE, PLAYED AN FF GAME OR WATCHED AN FF MOVIE, WHERE THEY TALK WITH HITHERS, THEES, DOTHS AND THOUS?!"

No, you haven't..
Because they don't.

Using old English to make up for the lack of a characters presence is more than bad.
It's terribad..
For the love of all that is good.
STOP IT...
Go watch advent children and get an idea, of what we expect people in this realm to talk like please..

This isn't the first FF that has people who talk like that. To me, the Middle English is a draw. I wish more games that take place in medievalish settings would use it.

Well now it seems this walk is awfully familiar :/ (- nael)

Great, so every game in the world has to be knights of Camelot..
I wish games would stick to their lore and not start trying to make it up as they go along..
Save the old English for Hamlet remakes..
It just doesn't fit when the entire world is talking like that..
It's not at all like the lore should be.

Everyone is trying to make it some Medival game, but it's not.
That's part of the problem right there.
Medival belongs at the county fair.
It's not a medival setting at all imo and shouldn't be treated like one.


SIDE NOTE:
The acting was just plain old fashioned bad as well..
Some of the worst voice acting I have ever seen in an FF trailer.
Like they picked up some people from the forum and just went with t..
