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
