I like this new trailer!

*Clap clap clap*

I really like it. Such a fun and joyful mood. And the little funny details we get to watch (mudballs...) We need much much more of this positivity in our lives from time to time.

I love it!

They should have used Cher or Britney Spears in the Gold Road release trailer.

It's so not fair how they can make in game footage look cinematic quality, cause ACTUAL gameplay doesn't hold a candle to how alive and fun that trailer looked. Definitely got a big smile out of me.

LucyferLightbringer · June 10

The trailer was awesome, made me smile and gave me this warm fuzzy feeling. Amazing job to whoever did it!

I love the way the pets are just sitting there grooming themselves, oblivious to the dragon fight going on around them - just like in the game

colossalvoids · June 11

Not spoiling your fun but such trailers should count as false advertisement, especially when have pop ups like "in-engine footage" which people would take the same as "in-game".

Such a good song.

Nice trailer, but the soundtrack <shudder>. It brings back memories of those awful '80s rock ballads.

I personally don't mind 80's rock ballads, but for trailers I prefer something that's part of the depicted world or at least fits the style or time the narration takes place in.

This trailer is light-hearted, so I mind it less, but I still remember I found it super unappealing when the trailer of last year's movie "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" (a dracula story taking place in 1897) had 1990's rock music in their trailer. And it wasn't really related to the topic in any way except it had "vampire" in the lyrics (which was meant metaphorically in a completely different sense). To me, that's total cringe (and I rarely use the word "cringe").

It's only a personal preference, of course.

Don't even tempt me to make some kind of horrifying edit featuring Ithelia as Britney XD

I thought about making one for a moment, but I don't really have enough time for that. Then I remembered that there was a website where you could easily replace or overlay the sound of one youtube video with the sound of another, but unfortunately I don't find that anymore.

I’m fine with anything besides rap “music” or hip hop as soundtrack. [Snip]

Just to clarify here. This is not false advertising. We checked in with our video team to confirm this. All in-engine footage in this trailer was captured in-game.

Yeah, it really looks very much in-game. I see a lot of emotes from the game in this trailer. Not sure if some extra animations were occasionally implemented for the video but it is clearly all in-game engine used and a video edition feature for post production.

I wanted to add that I much like the little story of friendship and growing community where two meet and then in the end this group is large and rides into battle. This trailer is so good on so many levels. It's a gem for all who love ESO.

Yes - the new Dragon Age trailer has a similar theme, but it isn't nearly as cute and wholesome (and the music is terrible).

I think I saw Cher briefly in a clip from one of concerts. She was floating over the stage with huge wings behind her, and the protagonists were all listening to her singing and clapping and cheering.

And I love the trailer, by the way, especially the nostalgic 80s music!

Because s/he felt like seeing new country?

Wow! Dragon Age! And it looks good.
I really loved Dragon Age Origin, but Inquisition was: meh.

This now looks better. Surely gonna buy it.

I absolutely agree (especially to the edited part that I've seen before it was deleted

).

It's an interesting point, actually. If they tried to do what's "fashionable" here at the moment, they would have used either rap or maybe Billie Eilish. I don't know how it's in other countries, but here, the ranks 1 to 30 in the charts are basically 90% rap and 3x Billie Eilish. Maybe 2 or 3 outliers occasionally. But they used 80's rock music, something younger people here rarely know or listen to (unless some local rapper does a cover version and hiccups a barely understandable aggressive tantrum over the original song playing in the background - I'm not making that up, sadly)... Makes me wonder: How old is ESO's main target audience?

FayJolyn · June 13

I loooved the trailer, my only smal tidbit is that the visuals where so quick to pass by it was sometimes hard to focus on the screen. I think a small song would have helped but i still adored it. Having an Argonian tank so front and center as a Argonian tank main gave me all sorts of happy feelings.

Lol. The main target audience must be my age - ‘80s had the best music!

The best music, and some of the best fantasy movies

as a child of the late 80's/90's, I grew up on that stuff. I'll always love it.
