2.0 TEASER SITE OPENS UP: 2012/07/05Follow

Not that it contains anything we haven`t seen before.

Now that you mention it: something around the crystal seems to be moving.
And there`s also movement to the left of the background...

Blue=Ice... Red=Fire... a secret hint at a hidden change in the balance of
elements only the TRUE fans of FF can see? Like that Starlord guy on
the official forums? Like only a TRUE fan can?

I mean, the page is brilliant! A real teaser! Anyone who should happen to
stumble upon it will immediately see: Badly textured raised paw. This must
be a good MMO. And the top line even states: EPIC FINAL FANTASY.
So it has to be EPIC.

Because, like, who needs more than that anyway. Short attention span.
You know the deal.

If this poem doesn't get the kids resubscribing, nothing will.

I think it looks AWESOME - I can't wait. I am especially excited for the new UI. Can't wait!!!

Couldn't help yourself could you, Maybe should do the same to you:

"Oh like this Rinsui dude on the Forums that thinks everything is ugly about this game"

Real Mature right? >.>

@Starlord
Hu-hu. Guess that's my big chance to tell you how ridiculously moronic your posts are.
I mean, if there was an achievement for every bit of whiteknighting around, you'd have
at least 70 paragon crowns under your belt.

But, I have to give you that: you almost made me re-subscribe just to tell you. Looks
like you failed even at that. And now, please tell us how GREAT and AWESOME an
idea it was to open the TOTALLY NEW 2.0 page with THE EXACT SAME screenshots
every single ass even remotely interested in the game has already seen like, a month
ago, and grace us with yet another BRIGHTER-THAN-LIGHT MASTERPLAN explanation
whipped out of your fullmetal alchemist sleeve as to why SE had ABSOLUTELY NO
CHOICE other than doing exactly what it did. And how brilliant every single choice they
made since Yoshi took over was. Something like the stuff about skipping E3 being an
awesome move, "because nobody goes to E3 anyway".

Do I get banned on Alla when I call someone an ignorant delusional tinhat? No? Great.
Dammit, I really feel better now. Ain't I easy to please.

@Solonuke
The trailer never was finished. That was so obviously a blatant lie, it almost felt insulting.
Remember 1998? "Sure, Duke Nukem Forever is almost finished. And it will be the best
game you've ever seen. We just won't show you, because, like... uh... we don't want to
spoil the surprise, when it launches... uh... very soon..." 54/100 metacritic. 2012.

FFXIV Version 2.0 with 23/100 metacritic 2013. Oh well.

Why 2013 and not 2026? Remember Duke Nukem Forever?

Are you the Baxter that used to cook on Rab? If so just wanted to say hi! I used to catch breem for you.



Well... the thing is - if these are screenshots, couldn't they like, fire up their pre-alpha game and take a few more? Like why is there only that handful that we've already seen? It just seems pretty meh to have them put up a site that has a tiny handful of screenies we already saw. I mean, even if they added some new ones people might be less underwhelmed. And it really isn't much to ask to ask them to take a couple more screenies, is it? I mean, unless this is all just concept art posing as screenshots - cause if so... well they're hosed.

Flood doesn't come till August's Campaign ( Gamescom) August 15th-19th.

And its a Teaser site for those that haven;t seen anything about FFXIV yet.

Oh is starlord the white knight commander of the main forums.....

Why would SE release a "Teaser" main website for the game.... With the same damm screenshots everybody has seen ? Not even a new one ? Come on....

Actually yeah, you are not the white knight commander, that would be Elexia or w/e his/her name is, you are actually pretty neutral sometimes, if i recall.

As far as the teaser site, well it blows really, no other way to put it, they told us they where "Holding out" for what ? the same screenshots we have seen ? Would it cost SE anything to actually go and throw in some screenshots and make some sound ? I mean take a screen of some unknown monster that would play no major part, but i bet it would have the main forum talking for weeks about "What do you think X monster is" blablabla because there is really nothing else to do besides to speculate about the game at this point in time, that is my point.

and nobody is trolling... atleast i am not at the moment XD!

They're "holding out" until they have something to show. I don't know why anyone actually believes SE when they speak these days. Until I see the alpha ready for download, I consider 2.0 vaporware.

@reptiletim
This is not about discussion. This time it’s personal. When you were forced to look at blatant sh*t every damn second post in the official forum, just because someone was so incredibly delusional that EVEN AFTER TWO @#%^ING YEARS he told everyone to happily run after the carrot-stick just a few days… weeks… months longer, defending every single obviously completely stupid thing just because “someone has to say something nice”, I see red. I mean, even in real life, I hate those guys. When there’s a mountain of bile and sh*t, they will say: “Just wait a bit. A flower will emerge from it eventually. Or not. But who needs flowers anyway. Perhaps SE has even better things in store for us than flowers… OH LOOK! There’s an AWESOME CARROT ON A STICK!!! Yayayay! I told you so!”

@Ostia
Huh? I always thought Starlord and Elexia were the same guy… same style of writing, and it’s hard to believe mother nature actually made the same mistake twice.

…

Now, let’s defuse this, before a mod *rightfully* bans me. Starlord, perhaps you are a nice guy. Perhaps a little too nice for my taste, but perfectly o.k. And perhaps I’m overreacting. But after half a year of reading your posts and not being able to rate those abominations down into oblivion something just snapped when you showed up here. Especially since you grace us with the same sh*t yet again:



Say, you still don’t get it. It’s not our fault that we expect information when it was promised for “soon after the E3”. Especially since the trailer promised for E3 wasn’t delivered either. And “soon after E3” is not 3 months later. Because when SE says August, it’s either August 30 1/2, or during the first weeks of September.



Yeah, sure. It took them 5 weeks to post some screenshots, so they totally have yet another site in the making. Like, just around the corner. Like, this isn't the real game. It's just the alpha site. Just wait and see, there will be a miracle patch in a few weeks. No? Well, who needs a miracle patch anyway. OH LOOK! There’s an AWESOME CARROT ON A STICK!!!

That sounds about right. Just because you hates someones way of thinking, doesn't me to bash them down when:

A) They didn't do anything to you
B) Everyone has different ways of thinking wouldn't be fun if everyone had the same thinking as you
C) We all have different opinions weather you like it or not is up to you, but bashing them saying their opinion(s) are crap makes your opinions no less than crap too.


Yes, you have every right to feel this way because they took "Exactly 1 month" to get the site up 6/5/12 ( E3 start date) 7/5/12 (Teaser Trailer start date). I feel for everyone that's been looking forward to this.

However, like I said on the forums, I can't wait for 2.0 beta then the Website. That's where it really counts the most.

Look, I know your a good guy/girl and stuff like that, maybe you had a bad day at work, got fired, whatever your case maybe.. and I understand its life. but taking it out on someone you don't even know or whatever, is wrong.

Anyways, I hope there's hope and joy in your life that will get you through the rest of your day.

God Bless =)

Looking forward to when more info can be brought up on the site. Nice that they took down the old, outdated stuff that's been sitting around on that same address forever.

Want more info asap.

How is someone with 13 posts a notorious white knighter?

Seriously reaching for entertainment here huh?

Yeah because outside of this tiny forum there are thousands checking the main site every day, biting their nails..

/ducks for cover

Sometimes I get really nostalgic when reading posts on (allakha)zam

Learn to read..... it says OF THE MAIN FORUMS!!!!

Must be because it's a largely anarchic old-school forum with big, red, satisfying "rate down" buttons.
Where you can risk to bring up ideas from other games without being silenced by a mod or "LOLOLOL
WOW FANBOY!!!" without backlash from people supporting your standpoint. I mean, Alla is rough.
And dirty. And it allows me to sometimes be insulting, irrational and most of all: biased and unfair.
But that's what I like about it. Because you actually have to defend your position. There is no pansy
friendly pink cloud of "we are all friends, so let's behave" that allows stupidity to survive indefinitely.

P.S.:
There's far too much of that cloud surrounding SE games lately. When sh*t stinks, someone has to
shout "sh*t!" unmistakably and loud enough for even the deafest Dev to hear, because if there is
just a tiny minority that downplays or relativizes the smell, there's a high chance the same sh*t will
still be stinking around months and years later.

"Oh, it's not that bad. Once you get used to it, mouse controls are fine. If you don't like the UI, go
play WoW. The next patch will fix everything. It's just the beta. The teaser site is just the beta.
OH LOOK! There's an AWESOME CARROT ON A STICK!"

To quote the best author on Allakhazam (myself):

To those speaking about doom and gloom.



The trolls here are becoming more annoying than the white knights.
