E3: FFXIV Online unveiled at Sony talk

Your video description says that "X" was the last attempt at an online FF game, even though it was actually "XI" ...

FFXIV looks like a return to the style of the older FF games, which is awesome :)

Id like to like this, but il wait to see some gameplay. Currently i am slightly turned off by the flying twiglets that id feel a nob burning round in.

Hope it isn't an mmorpg.

Wow... So much bullshit hype in so little time. Does anyone care about these prerendered cutscenes anymore? Does anyone even *notice* them? It's just something to skip when firing up the game. I turn them off on any game that allows it. Does Square think this will impress anyone? They're totally delusional if they believe that some faux-epic video will convince players that the level-grinder with the slow, boring combat they're playing is somehow exciting.

They say that FFXIII will feature combat more like the cutscenes. I'll believe it when I see it.

Prerendered cut-scenes add some feeling to the game. Besides I'm sure that the reason for showing this, instead of real game-play footage, was because they wanted to announce Final Fantasy XIV. There is still a long way to go before the game is released, so I'm sure they'll want to hype the game at a later stage.
