-Video restrictions
I am not really following this topic as closely as I should, but from my understanding I think SE is making a mistake by having NDA throughout p4 and EA. I would assume having people stream and making youtube videos are pretty much free advertisement for their game and company. The game was pretty much done for release, so why not make people advertise it for you for free? I guess they had their server problems but people who were playing without problem could stream and many people could watch and have the interest to play. For example, Blizzard’s new TCG “Hearthstones” have a lot of attention due to famous streamers playing the game. This is free publicity. What I remember, any publicity is good publicity.
Also check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDEoi5EQALw for what is the future of videos for FF14. I found it very interesting.
