Final Fantasy XIV has had its share of pitfalls -- it's not every day that Square Enix flat-out apologizes for a game, after all. But after months of rejiggering, the game has relaunched itself as A Realm Reborn, and Square has released a new cinematic trailer for the rebranded title.

Square Enix says A Realm Reborn was rebuilt entirely, clearly wanting to disassociate itself from the troubles it faced last year. The PC version should hit this year, and the PlayStation 3 version is still on-track to enter beta as well.

      I see it, at least partially, as ignorance from the developer. If they don't realize what gamers really want to see is gameplay... then they are out of touch. And if they feel the game doesn't look good enough to show actual gameplay... then they are screwed anyways. Not much good can come out it either way.
      
      If they want to get people excited with a fancy video... then do it... then show us gameplay after that!
