FFXIV Commercials on TV - Kage - 10-04-2015
So... I've seen or heard of some strange FFXIV commercials.

New one using 3.0 Heavensward benchmark stuff.

Would -any- of these interest you? What could they do better?
I like the new one mentions the trial. But it uses all Heavensward stuff...

The last one is okay.
The other two are cringe worthy.

Yerp.
ESCAPE REALITY.
LIVE THE FANTASY.
On that note, I think I've seen an NPC in-game say that.

...The second on looks like something from the early 90's.
I was waiting for someone to shout 'Totally radical dude!'

That's rad!
But fucking A I watched the second one and cringed so hard at mostly the voice over. I mean sure it looks like a commercial from the 90s but it wasn't a horrible premise.
But his voice D:

The first two are just...tacky. I don't think that they really fit the 'feel' of FFXIV and they'd make me not want to admit to playing the game in the first place if that happened to be how the game was perceived in more mainstream circles.
Though I felt that way about WoW's commercials as well. The third is...decent enough, I suppose. It still doesn't excite me though. Releasing an edited version of the patch trailers, however, or the expansion's launch trailer as a commercial would work very well I think.

First one was ok.
2nd one would of been ok. Started good at the begining but ya...that voice.
3rd one is ok as well.Â
Don't think any of them would really get me to play if I didn't have intrest already.

Wait, are these real?
I don't watch TV to know.
Quick Edit: The second one completely misses the purpose of the game. It sounds like Louisoix is telling them to take over the world, not save Eorzea >.<

Actually, if I had seen the first one, I'd have looked it up immediately. Yes, it's corny... but it made me all goosebumpy also.

Maybe because I'm kind of a 90s kid, but I liked the second one just because of it's so damn cheesy.
RE: FFXIV Commercials on TV - V'aleera - 10-04-2015
Speaking from experience, I'm almost positive the first two were developed by advertisers who don't play/understand MMOs and approved by an SE executive that doesn't care about NA marketing for FFXIV.

Got to say that guy who turned into a roe looked decent. he'd b a hit if he was cosplaying.

Not sure if this was ever on TV, but I love Ikuta Toma and was pleased to see he had done something for FFXIV!
RE: FFXIV Commercials on TV - Fox - 10-04-2015
The first one made me laugh and shake my head.
Second is just, plzno- and wonder if they got the same team that does the old, old wow commercials.
Third one is standard 'use gameplay and a voice'.

This is the only good "MMOs are real" ad I've ever seen, and that's only because it plays on the absurdity of the notion.
