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.
