The Chinese mobile game ‘Doula Continent: Soul Master Duel’, by 37 Interactive, recently released a promotional video that appears to literally be a shot-for-shot copy of the FFXIV: Shadowbringers trailer…

Copyright awareness.
They are aware that they copy. *
I remember seeing the new Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr trailer back then and could not help but see that it was very similar to FFXIV's End of an Era, specifically towards the end
Edit: Corrections made. Not 6, but Elsweyr
A Chinese mobile game stealing? How shocking!
There was a game advertisement using FFXIV character creation to get people to download there game a while back on Facebook.
Plagiarism?
how are we shocked about chinese rips?
It's more like "Why did it take this long?!"
Also, just because the trailer is good, doesn't mean the content is good.
As somebody who like the novels of Soul Continent and the game FFXIV, I'm just disappointed.
They really had to stretch it to have him fight with all those weapons. lol
Funny thing, if China ever starts becoming the mega giant of something everyone is just going to steal from them and then they will have the short end of the stick AND no one will carry when China cry's out. Everyone will just respond with the same B.S. they have been giving.
is it a mimic or did they actually steal SE assets and the whole sequence and just reskin stuff?
Wondering if you guys seen Asmon, Jesse or MTQCapture interview with Yoshida about Endwalker or other people interviewing him even Preach reacted to Asmons video.. Curious Michael about your thoughts on that..
Oh Jeez, its the same exact thing…. just tweaked enough to not be Copyright probably.
It came from Chyna, wow, i could have never guessed, its almost as if they do this shit every week and never gets accountable.
Please stop calling Warrior of Light Meteor. No one else is doing that.
Not only copied a trailer from ff14 shadowbringers, but they even made a "literal" Sephiroth clone in the end of the trailer. Like, clearly someone is either a fan or China just went "Oh, ff14 is popular and ff7 just got a remake. Let's go, boys!"
To talk about it is to give advertisement to it. The more prominent the reactor the more people the advertisement will reach. Just something to think about.
If you've spent years developing a product and can't even be bothered to market your product with pride, God only knows how shite the game will be
I don't think these Chinese dev's care about copyright unless it's their owned IP. If it's not owned by them, it's probably fair game in their eyes.
Ok I have to know, where'd they get "Meteor" as the nickname for WoL? I've never heard anyone else use that so I half assume it's something they came up with? xD
Shameless as all hell lol
Thing is, if they'd made an original trailer nobody would be talking about it.
Instead they made a 1:1 copy and because of the loose Chinese copyright laws they're off the hook for it AND people are talking about it more. In this market more than any – any publicity is good publicity – they've achieved exactly what they wanted.
Just steal from the most popular MMO, no one will notice.
Then again, these garbage companies do this because they get away with it
the word China translates to "knock off"
Doulou is getting sued
all the weeb games have the same cinematics tbh
Meanwhile, in 8.3… it's Return of the King, but without an hour and 3 different endings after. ;p
3 Certainties in life :
1 – Death
2 – Taxes
3 – China stealing someone else's IP
thats why chinse people do they can copy
china steeling from people wow no way
Pathetic
Copied verbatim
Holy shit dude , that’s straight up theft
China is creatively bankrupt. Not remotely surprised.
I was expecting the title to be clickbait or at the very least hyperbole…but holy shit lol
