Wow, so will the release site have a different URL or will the release site be swapped in on May 31?

Swapped.

If we have until May 31st, I'll have some time to work on some character profile artwork to randomly toss into the layout.

The second trailer is awesome, especially the showing off of the new techs. It's also deceptively sweet that people will think Frog is in the game for now.

The only part I'd keep out and replace with something else is the snippet for Project Anabasis. Belthasar's lie depends on the party and player believing that the Frozen Flame wasn't used in the reactor. While viewers of this might think while playing that perhaps this scene took place in the future, it's still betraying a little too much since King Zeal's already the villain during the game's events, and the scene itself is colored yellow (the "flashback" color in anime).

The third trailer, hah...we'll have to preview Chrono'99's Neo-Epoch. People will go nuts.

Aha, didn't catch the Anabasis issue. I have other clips I wanted to use, so no biggie. I'll post an update soon.

Do we want any info tacked onto the end of the trailer? Even a "May 31"? Or leave the end as is?

Let's...perhaps shoot for third trailer to be released May 15 (the day I leave) with the "May 31" since we'll know if that's realistic then. For now, perhaps...

SOON

Gotcha. I've got the ANABASIS scene replaced with a scene of Kasmir confronting Flea. I figure that way, it'll throw the viewer off to the fact that the Zenan Bridge scene has anything to do with the Fall of Guardia in 1005; seeing Flea confronting Kasmir will make the viewer think that the Zenan Bridge scene just after the logo unveiling is something that happens in the Middle Ages.

I was also thinking of replacing ANABASIS with a scene of Frog and Magus trading blows (with one of Frog's new techs) in his Frozen Flame trial, but I can always save that for #3.

Final answer (tm).

Did it upload completely? I get an end of file crash before the ending when playing it.

It works fine when I play it (I tried with Media Player Classic and WMP). Maybe it was a bug from the Sendspace server?

See if this works better Ramsus. I sure hope it wasn't an encoding problem or something.

Because studying monetary policy is obviously conducive to this sort of thing, I went ahead and whipped up an audio track for the final trailer. Nightmare originally suggested "Time's Scar" for the lead in IIRC, but "Lost Fragments" better produces the kind of effect I was going for:

Is it still going to bust out with Ladies and Gentlemen?  :1999

 :1999

I'm still aiming for the 15th.

The plan is to show some mellow randomness and then bust out "Ladies and Gentlemen" and just blow the audience away by showcasing a bunch of new stuff (arena, some more portraits -- including Frog's to throw everyone off even more -- some full techs, Neo Epoch, minigames) while "Ladies and Gentlemen" plays.
