Thread: 2.0 website and trailer...    

I like and I approve. Definite FFTactics vibe to the website.

at least yoshi isnt subtle about not liking the design of the old world

All of my love Sono <3.

Now they need to follow up on that turtle story from the Easter even and show us some Adamantoise!

Ul'dah looks like its being redesigned entirely

If you notice, its the only one of the 3 towns that doesn't use in-game screenshots to show what the town looks like anymore. Also, in the 3rd concept sketch we see that parts of the town appear buried under sand and theres a new train-track system implemented.

and under Lore > Machina it says this..

"It will not be long before a marriage between magitek and the mine carts of Ul'dah results in a web of iron causeways spanning the very wastes themselves!"

I do very much like the trailer. I just hope the traveling through time shit stays as this and we dont end up with WOTG crap... Got old fast in XI with the maws etc!

magitek?
are we dipping into the FFVI pool of knowledge?

yep. magitek has been in XIV for a while now.. we're likely to see the magitek armor mounts soon iirc

They showed off a Magitek concept sketch during one of the Live letters mentioning it as a mount. In the video you can see the Magitek armor with an imperial on it.

Here it is, conveniently on the site:

Well they snuck that in there. Wasn't expecting anything until August. Site looks nice. A pleasant surprise indeed.

New trailer screams Campaign battles to me. Which is a very good thing, if done right.

lol the people handling press release page did a copypasta fail

It is the worst voiceover I ever heard... xD

1) Don't get why you'd ask, considering you can play both, seeing how GW2 doesn't have a monthly fee.
2) Don't get why you'd ask this early, considering we have nothing about 2.0 aside from more SE FMVs which we all know is the one single thing (aside from music) that they're good at doing, as well as some photoshopped screenshots, vs. 3 betas worth of content and actual gameplay for GW2.

Its far too early to tell. Play what you want to play.

That said, kinda irked that once again we're tossed a lovely little FMV with the "play the game, please!" line thrown in there. Fool me once, fool me twice?

Give some actual in-game shit please, SE. You do this every goddamn time.

To be fair, was anyone expecting anything other than the pretty & dolled-up FMV considering that's what they said the first trailer was since pre-E3? >_>

Not that I wouldn't prefer actual in-game shots etc, but rather just I don't think they're fooling anyone (with any semblance of intelligence and/or self-respect) when they straight up said this shit was 100% cg for like months

(Which is even more confusing why they didn't release it way earlier)

To be fair, this is their standard fare, so the question is irrelevant. They do this every. single. time., and this is the one time where they really shouldn't, considering how much of an epic flop this very game was the last time they pulled this stuff.

"towns aren't changing" eh?
