You should have seen the other two clips I didn't upload. A nerdy japanese girl and a nerdy japanese boy playing PS2 and getting awed at the game.

Ewwww!

I don't know, but I think this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yySdNZ0Id5I)fanmade trailer is better than the ones poosted above.

The fanmade trailer is bland. Audio doesn't sync with onscreen.

A few action clips and choral music does not make an awesome trailer.

The hymn of the fayth trailer is from Square Enix, uncut.

There are several reasons:

First, there are a lot more fans than there are game designers. You'd be surprised how many bad fanvids there are out there. Far more than there are good ones.

Second, game designers have to respect copyright laws. That music did not belong to them, so using it would be far more difficult for them than it would be for a fan.

Third, game designers must respect the laws of time. IIRC, that music is from the new "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", which came out after FFX. Again, that makes using it difficult.

Fourth, the designers of the trailers are more restricted as to what they can put in. There are undoubtedly some scenes which they simply would not be allowed to put in a trailer. Fans, on the other hand, have seen the entire game, can mix and match whatever they want with no regards for what their bosses might think about their choices.

It sucks, but fans have a lot more flexibility in designing their trailers than the big companies do. Square Enix may have the resources to make some nice ones, but it's hard to compete with a hundred thousand fan vids.

I prefer this one, although the music is clearly Zimmerish (taken from the Pearl Harbor trailer, I think). The other one doesn't seem all that special. IMHO, it's mostly just some random voice clips that don't seem to work too well with the on-screen events, combined with some choral music. Besides, I'd like trailers to have music from the game (or movie) itself. It's annoying when trailers have some musical score (which usually is clearly taken from another movie) that isn't even played anywhere in the movie or game. At least Square Enix trailers seem to use original music most of the time.
