Haha, no. Karl is just markets the game and whatnot. I forgot what his official title was. I want to say community manager but I'm pretty sure that's Meagan's job title.

BRAND MANAGER. Thats it.

Global Brand Director or something. If you're in charge of a brand, you definitely have to know everything about the game. It just makes sense. Of course he's not in charge but he must be in-the-loop.

Well if course he knows what's going on. He has to in order to understand what they're marketing.

I don't even know what we're talking about. I just jumped in the convo so...yeah. :p

And how a trailer plays has nothing to do with the game itself and how its made and works.

Square probably have to finalise it because well..whatever crystal do now will effect their "image" so to speak.

Square ****ing Enix are making the trailer, so they'll make however damn much they want in whatever time CD give them, so they said "**** no Karl, dat's too much".

:/

edit: Why don't we all just find where Kurl said no multiplayr? :(

^ The trailer is marketing for the game which is supposed to be handled by CD.

He's not in charge of the brand, he's in charge of marketing it. So in other words, he gets spoon fed info that he's allowed to give to the public.

SE's Visual Works are using their brains and fingers to create the CGI trailer, they make trailers. Karl comes to them with the idea, if it's too much to get done by the specified date then they can't do the entire trailer, they collaborate to find what would be a good amount of trailer to complete in the amount of time given.

I don't see what's so hard to understand about that, of course SE had that control, they were making the trailer. It doesn't mean they're in there deciding everything and that it must go through their offices first.

Brand managers aren't directly involved int he making of the game so they wouldn't know everything about it. But to end this argument quickly, somebody tweet Karl and ask him if he knows everything there is to know about the game.

Then why exactly can't they have control if they're paying for the game? BTW, square enix didn't make the trailer, Visual works did.

Karl has always seemed pretty involved to me :confused:
