Final Fantasy ads have always been weird like that. It's really annoying as well as I caught one when I was younger and I had no clue as to what I was actually watching until the name flashed on the screen. Now as a huge Final Fantasy fan then I could only imagine what a person that had never played a Final Fantasy game thought. FF is a series that counts on past players coming back and back over and over again. Square doesn't look like it even tries to bring in new players to the series.

It brings in new players every generation.  FFVII brought in new players,  FFX brought in new fans and FFXIII will probably bring in some new fans as well.  S-E seems to feel that gamers would be turned off by turn based combat.  Heavily advertising turn based combat in an American commersial of FF would be like heavily advertising the RTS-like stage battles in Brutal Legend.  It would just turn off potential players.  Game ads in general don't seem to include much if any gameplay.

Final Fantasy wouldn't be a series in decline if it brought in new fans every generation.
