I don’t think I’ve seen a publisher release videos like Square Enix has done with Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers. Generally, a trailer will be created that splices in cutscenes, and gameplay to form a video that makes the game look much more fun than it actually is. Square Enix has gone a different route with Crystal Bearers. They’ve created videos showing off what I believe are clips that make the game look more boring than it will be.
What do you think? Boring, or is it just right of SE to let us know certain aspects of the game that won’t be action packed?
Guilty Pleasure — Ok, this one looks cool actually
Public Spectacle — It might be funny when we actually know what’s going on…for now it’s just confusing.
Delusions of Grandeur — Here is where you hire a narrator to let us know why this is awesome
Too Many Thrills — When I first saw this it was awesome..in fact it might make a nice snippet in a larger video
Ahead of the Pack — really?
Don’t Touch That Dial — Again, nice snippet for something much bigger
It’s Gonne Be a Long Night — Worthy title..I think that’s the longest clip they’ve offered.
