TGS09: Final Fantasy XIV trailer debuts
- September 24, 2009 00:00 AM PST
The story may still be a bit murky, but the graphics in this trailer are certainly not.
As much as I wished and prayed and begged in a completely unprofessional manner, I did not get the opportunity to go to the Tokyo Games Show. Therefore I was right there at my computer last night when the email came in letting us know that the first official Final Fantasy XIV trailer was being released at TGS today. Here it is in all its glory. I've been saying for a while that Final Fantasy XI needed an update, and I guess the MMO gods heard me, because XIV promises to give me not only the graphics I asked for, but also the story.
While some might be unhappy that the new game is set in the same world as its predecessor, but in my view it's good news. After all, the point of an MMO is to get lost in a world, and if you fall in love with a world, you want to spend more time with it, explore new storylines, and see it through new eyes. I'm sure we'll hear more about the game as TGS unfolds, but for now, enjoy this introduction to the realm of Eorzea. And no, it's not filled with mopey little purple donkeys.

First of all the game isn't set in the same world. It's set in a different world with the same races (with new names)
2cd this is the second trailer. The first debuted at E3.

vanadiel is the world in FFXI you're right.
though same characters just different names, some changes to the races though galka seems to have no tail, which in FFXI he has one and taru's in this one are taller and FFXI taru is much smaller, the names of the races are different also.
but damn cant wait for this game.
