How can you call people who dislike the landscapes in the video blind...if you haven't watched the video?
That said, I like the desert areas...bit sparse of course, but hey, they're deserts. The architecture does look sexy.

Amazing landscapes. I can't wait for the release.

With the opening of the store I was contemplating buying Nightfall through there... Now that I hear the music I know I will be buying the CE, Damn Jeremy Soule, damn him!

Great footage, and amazing visuals! I really enjoyed the city with a fountain and blue rivers, remind me of LA but alot more colourful. Looks like a more cheerful atmosphere imo, compared to dark and almost depressing look of factions.

I remember being thrilled with the first in-game cinematic of Factions. The monsters and landscapes were awesome.
Here's my reaction after seeing this one : "...and?"
Yeah, couple of good landscapes and awesome visuals, but, nothing to increase my heartbeat. Same old, same old. I especially did not care for the monster designs.
I hope there are more up their sleeves that did not make it to this movie. Awaiting PvE weekend now.

How hard I try to not love Guild Wars... it always fails. The trailer is beautifull... as always.
Though my only minor... uhm... drawback involves the Paragon. When he/she throws his spear, it just respawns in it's hand. Could've been done better imho.

This has to be THE most amazing looking GW chapter thus far, and arguably the best looking area will probably be in this game.
I'm amazed, they're really going to town with this chapter, hopefully it will play at least half as good as the way it looks.

Whoa, I so totally agree with everything especially that about the thing.

What do you think about the winged creatures and that giant giant thing in the cinematic.
Looks very good and pretty interesting.

they are reskins of the griffons and the Island guardians, but nice ones at that.

It looks great to see this in hi-res. the environments are very nice, especially the towns, of course. But I don't know why you guys complain so much about the environments in factions; I found them A LOT more interesting than the stuff in tyria. The non-slum parts of kaineng look great, and the jade sea is the coolest environment ever in an RPG, imo.
That armor was a regular armor (fire resistant, if i'm not mistaken) in the PvP preview weekend, it's not 15K.

I think it looks great... Emperor Kisu shown in the begining has obvious ties to Cantha, but how will they tie it into prophicies? I can't say anything about armor or weapons since it a bit to soon to oogle over those details. I love the cascading *lettering* in the curtains :P

If you look at where the emperor is...he's on the docks.
He probably is the point of contact to travel between Elonia and Cantha...nothing more.
Regarding the chaos wing dude not using his bow...
think about this...maybe he was a boss using a touch ranger build and all of the bosses in Elonia will use common/popular player builds instead of 3 or 4 skills and an elite.
One can only hope.
HalPlantagenet
One of things Arenanet art has been distinguished by it's sophisticated development of ambience. In addition, from Prophecies to Factions they took a huge step in refining their skill, no mean feat when you consider the relatively limited dynamic range of computer displays and the pragmatic need for players to see enough and the right things. I can't tell from the video, but I hope Nightfall takes another extraordinary step.

However, it did look like when a bowed Ranger attempts to cast a spell, so you might be right about the fact that he's mix professions casting.

The one thing i remember really getting excited about with the factions cinematic was not the new professions, which at that point i wasn't all that thrilled about how they looked, but rather the new armors for the core professions and the new weapons. With this cinematic, there weren't really any new weapons that i could see(i know they probably didn't add them yet but that still means i haven't seen them) and only the dervish and paragon were shown, so that doesn't help me much with wanted to see new armor.
I know things will be released in due time, they always are, I guess i'm just going to have to wait to pass judgement until I get to see the things i want to see and then I'll evaluate.
Some of the scenery was pretty nice though, but i wouldn't expect anything less from Guildwars, even with my old outdated graphics card, things always look great.

Did you ever notice the ranger does almost exactly what the paragon does and i have come to the conclusion that rangers and paragons get an endless supply of ammo by their armor which is blessed by gods

The trailer looks very nice, but I have noticed over the past year that elements of other NCSoft games make an appearance in the Guild Wars chapters (and vice versa).
The winged elements of Aion’s characters are making an appearance in Nightfall.This is just a sample, but I am sure there are more similarities that I have observed.
The Ritualist looks very similar to the Shaman in City of Heroes (look at the definition of shamanism.)
The Forgotten Sage is in City of Villains as Snakes.
The Ice Golems look just like the City of Heroes Crystal Titans
I think mini-pets were started in Auto Assault before Factions was released.

And I bet you think EA, Blizzard, Activision, etc. etc. don't do the same.

I hope they use that song in the game somewere.
GW has been lacking intense battle music, I think the song in this video would add to the feeling durring an epic battle.
I'm really looking forward to this chapter.
One of the things that made Guild Wars great was doing the research. There wasn't too much information, and even the beta weekend attenders were in the dark. As time went on, the comunity learned more and more about the game, however, it was still full of surprises.
With factions, within a week, all had been explored (the game's new aspects and the map) and it started feeling more like a deathmatch than an adventure game.
I hope Nightfall brings the adventure back, and I can't think of a better chapter to do so.

Alot of ideas have already been done, its just that some get a new spin(game). The movie Underworld was a Romeo and Juliet story, just with a fewchanges.

NCSoft is the parent company of ArenaNet, thus my point is that character similarities cross game platforms and both development divisions are continuing this practice with Nightfall.

My point is that they rehash character models, backrounds, items etc. across their own games also.
It is a common practice in the gaming industry.

Those are passing similarities. Just because one game has snakemen doesn't mean some other game copied them when they have them too. XCOM had snakemen. Particularly the Crystal Titans don't look similar at all except for being humanoid and made of ice/crystal.
I'm really loving the music in Nightfall. Seems it gets more upbeat in battle, unlike Prophecies and Factions.

As for copying creatures, I have serious doubts they would use the same model in different games (especially since totally different softhouses are developing each separately). Besides, none of that stuff came out of the heads of NCsoft, far from it; if anything, they came out of D&D monster manuals, and even those are based on earlier works of popular culture of traditional myths and folklore, which can be millenar in themselves.

There are no new ideas, just new presentations of old ideas. 
Hell, I'm just glad there are no Orcs or Elves. (knock on wood).

This game looks amazing....chaos wings, dervish, skales, WOOHOO
AuraofMana
The music is most likely the main theme. The main theme is always the most exciting in my opinion.
If you think GW has good graphic, sorry to break your bubble here:
GW is just one of the millions of Korean MMOs. In Korea, GW is a very common MMO because they literally have millions of MMOs to pick from. GW is just successful over here because outside of Korea, Korean MMOs are not very common, and it is free.
Factions trailer looked amazing but the game end up turning up a major disappointment.
I really hope they don't further duplicate skills like having another Drunken Blow or Vampiric Bite (Just think of 3 Vampiric Bite skills on Touchers ><)
The music is pretty nice, but it's most likely the main theme. Factions main theme was pretty nice too.

GW isn't a MMO. Korean MMOs are a dime a dozen, most of them not even requiring a purchase, and being nowhere near the quality of GW. Even people who absolutely hate GW will agree with me on this.
And GW has very good graphics, especially considering requirements.
There'll no doubt be more duplicate skills, but just like last time they will not include these in the total listed new skill count. So if they say 150 new skills, they mean 150 and then 5 duplicates for each of the Core professions.

Im thinking the emperor's appearance maybe shows the way they are linking the games so you can get your character from Factions to Nightfall. Just a quick thought there.

I love the way people complain about stuff from a short trailer that barely shows anything. People are funny.
