Like the Stealth set, they'll make for really good team uniforms for SGs who like to emulate X-people and such.

"And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can mostly say they lived happily ever after. But for them it was the beginning of the real story. All there life in this world and all there adventures in Narnia had only be the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of The Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before" - C.S Lewis, The Last Battle.

My first reaction is "pretty". Now to go watch it again a few times.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed with the section on Time Manipulation. It was just the same power that they showed us in the pictures. Does it have any other powers? Or is it just nine powers with the same animation?

I did like the visuals of First Ward and the Underground, though.

Breaking the trailer down and impressions:


-Seed of the Hamidon Giant Monster. Has red, blue, green, purple and yellow orbs that are orbiting it. Could be key in defeating it like current primal Hammi raids.

-Carnival of Light in action. Why is everything so red in every shot with these guys?

-Infected Warworks in the Underground trial.

-Giant Shivan boss from Galaxy tutorial.

-Guys in hoods. Looks like mystically themed Resistance.

-Character flying with what could be the temp power that lets people battle Seed of Hammi.

-Panning shots of First Ward. Looks like it comes with a good portion of wilderness attached.

-Again the red environment fighting the Carnival.

-Is that a magic wand temp power a player is firing?

-Heavily armored troops with BFGs fighting outside. Could be Cole's black ops guys?

-They're spraying slime!

-More shots of the Hammiseed. Players fighting it. Again the orbs can be seen.

-Shots of the Underground trial zone. Very organic and spooky. Someone's been watching Avatar.

-More infested Warworks.

-DE look similar to ours, with a re-skin.

-Hammi Avatar looking big and awesome. Looking a little like a Shivan. Maybe that's intentional.

-Destroyed Galaxy is destroyed.

-BaB's hand clap does a lot of damage.

-Little Longbow Chaser is no match for an Arachnos Wasp.

-Giant Shivan crawling up from below.

-1:30 What is that green thing way up in the sky?

-Did it just call down a meteor strike?!?

-Time Manipulation looking very cool.

-New costume sets looking swank.

Sorry, to me that sounds like completely random noise. I like what's with the trailer better.

As far as the trailer itself goes, I love what's ON it, but mostly because I knew about most of that stuff in advance and had seen pictures. The trailer itself really kind of is just an animated slideshow. It doesn't linger on any one thing for nearly long enough to get a good look, which is what I feel is its greatest shortcoming. I want to SEE what's coming so I can be excited about it. Don't make me pause it all the time.

Still convinced that Paragon Studios blew it by not hiring on Samuraiko Productions to make a trailer for them.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

I was fully expecting to be rickrolled. You missed an opportunity there.

The music was so bad that it caused my eyes to wander off from the trailer, so I had to watch it once more, muted, and with something more sensible.

The trailer was kinda bland, but to be fair, it feature none of the stuff from the issue that I am looking forward to.

on the trailer:

-I thought the stuff presented was pretty cool, but how it was presented was way too rushed, I barely got a look at things before the subject changed.

-First ward looks nice

-Avatar of Hamidon looks pretty freakin' cool, and he's huge.

-The giant shivan coming out of the earth reminded me A LOT of the jecht/final aeon fight in FFX, which probably helped me think it was amazingly cool, maybe too cool for a low level tutorial.

-The seed of hamidon... I wish it actually moved parts of itself like a living thing, the arachnos flyer has moving parts and it flies, instead the seed looks like a really odd spaceship.

-Im gonna make about fifty new characters just for the tutorial, looks awesome.

50Soulsunder: DM/Regen Scrapper
50Limitshift: EM/WP Brute
Victoria Nox: Dark/Dark Dominator
And about 5 others that change constantly...

The shots themselves look good. The transition/declarations were annoying.

I really do prefer the softer background music with a narrative explaining stuff for the trailers. It feels more Comic, and less speed.

Heh, personally it reminded me of Straga, and anyone who knows what I'm talking about earns a cookie.

Somebody please fire the editor. I don't think I counted to two on any of the cuts outside of when there was text.

I'm very excited for this. ALso, did anyone else get a metroid prime vibe from the new trial?

I'm hoping there is a separate "Freedom" trailer for me to lure people into the game with.

Is anyone else getting a Nausicaa vibe off the Underground and First Ward? I sure am.

A little, yeah.... The underground looks like a gorgeous map. 'Hope we have time to get a good look at everything while we're running the trial, instead of having to rush past it all. It looks like a lot of detail went into it, and it would be a shame to have to ignore all that because we're on a short timer or something.
