SE you have a Worldwide Franchise, and your support is a let down.

Vedabe, just out of curiosity what field do you work in?

hey, my social profession is psychologist, right now i am working as a volunter on a rehab center for drug young people, on the mornings, i live in Cancun, and as you all know we are having major issues with drug abuse, and also i just set my "shrink´s office" lol, on the evenings.

My pasion is electronic music, i just finished setting my music studio up, i am big fan of trance music myself, so my plan is getting to live from the music over the future.

PD: big fan of Nobuo Uematsu

Have you posted anything you've made?

As much as people get all defensive due to the things happening in Japan I will have to agree with Vedabe. It's bound to have others saying something to defend or simply to oppose the topic, it will always happen. I completely understand his point of view, and when he said that he didn't refer it to the Japanese themselves. He was talking about a company. If it wasn't for this disaster all you pretend defenders would be up in arms with him, because I hear a lot of that in-game. The fact is Square Enix is not SquareSoft and that's the difference from the Final Fantasy Series being an excitement and being a disappointment.

Here is a challenge to SquareEnix, step up your game or consult the lead team from the old company, SquareSoft. Open your mind about server location and even multiple locations for that matter.

I'm glad the servers are down actually, because I get so much more done and I'm having a blast working out extra hours and hanging out with friends outside the game world. Yes, I miss it to a certain extent and am hoping they come with something refreshing when they are back online to set a "in memory of" type of event. Adversity brings forth excellence.

Oh and for all you defenders or pretenders in my opinion they should have their server somewhere else getting money and donating that money (that they are not making now) to the people of need in Japan.

Thanks for reading.

YESSS PLEASE we Want Squaresoft back, so bad, sometimes i feel FF lost the soul from the games, to me playing FF is like reading a awsome fantasy book :P.

After seeing a lot of the other posts made on this topic I thought he was polite about it. Also I have read through this whole thread and not until this late did I see him get as angry as he is now. He was polite with his answers and pointed out many many times it is just his opinion. Also He did say in his OP that English is not his first language. While some words weren't the right words in the situation I still understood what he was trying to say.

I just think that people are refusing to try to understand where others are coming from. People have not even tried to look at both sides, choosing to be angry on 1 side or the other.

I also think that he was saying it for future plans reasons. Not demanding, but asking them to take this into consideration.

And last but not least everyone has their own way of seeing things. This is not a new concept. To each their own.

This is not an attack on anyone just saying what I see and feel.

Seriously this convo is very one sided.

1 Person= I have an opinion about something.

147892378489127 People versus 1 person= I am right I am righteous so I am going to join the 147892378489127 to bring you down. Isn't it funny that a lot of Japanese think they should of had a back up plan too. . . . Like I said before even if it wasn't brought back up for us . . . . At least bring it back up for them so they can get there mind off of all the bad things that have happened in the past week or so.

Have you posted anything you've made?

TearValerin, everytime i read these threads you are always flaming some other person.

His post was not childish. There was no course language. Unwarranted sense of pride? Insensitive? Slanderous dribble? lol I really don't see how this mild post could have offended you so. Your post was far more offensive.

So he thinks Square should have had a back up plan and he doesn't like their service. That's basically all he said. You are exagerating the contents of his post to the max and in doing so you will undermine any point you ever had to make.

All right, now i got really mad.
You guys are calling me insensitive, childish bastard, how about this, i´ve been in japan, and i loved the culture, i have stayed there for a couple of months teaching spanish for free, just because i feel like it.
I have learned so much from the japanese culture, and i loved it.

You guys just keep judging away, when i have not even say anything to disrespect anyone, as a matter of fact i have thanked everyone just to post on this topic, because i value your time, on discussing on one matter.

Discussing is not the same as judging, and you guys need to realize that. I do feel horrible about the japanese situation, i have donated for the cause, my sister is giving home to 3 japense friends she have( cause she used to live there), we paid for half of their plane tickets, we know they have lost everything.

So do not come and tell me that i am a selfish bastard, because i know i have done more than all of you, combined, you guys are just posting all the regrets and shit, like little kids. It is impossible not feeling bad about the hole situation, it was just overwhelming, but you are actually not doing a shit. Just complaining, disrespcting and judging to people that just think different than you.

Most of you guys are just crying on your asses sitting all day long on the computer, saying "yeah, bitch i have a life you, don´t. well what a great life, why don´t you get up and do something on your community to get founds for Japan, i know that would help.

This is the last time i post on this topic, and the main idea of it, was "yeah shit happens", and we feel bad about it, but we have to learn from the mistakes, so this won´t happen again.

I am not insensitive at all, i just all the time learning to focus on what can i do today to improve things, feeling bad and doing anything, it just won´t help anyone.

Grow up little kids. (not all of you, some of you guys seems really nice folks)

Dale, read and mind your own business. If those bolded words aren't profanity, then I'm a horses rear.

volunter on a rehab center for drug young people

Hi, Irony.

[DukeDudeston]

Although, he does have a point "kinda", but what where square to do? have mirrors of the same game somewhere else?
They do HAVE backup's of the game data, ask anyone who has had their account compromised (you can start with me) I had nothing.. got it all stolen from me.. got my character back, a 3 week ago restore, but I had mostly everything I originally had.

You really expect Square to constantly make backups of their game, and transfer it to another server "just in case"?
they would do that, IF something like this happens on a monthly basis maybe.. lol if it happened that often, they would probably host the game somwhere else in the world.

The problem is, dedicated game servers, are not cheap, and having some wurring away in some remote location, on the off chance that something this big will happen again, will be a total waste of money, even if they do earn millions, it will still be.. a complete waste of money.

Even if they used both server centers at the same time, it will cause huge lag. you will have to ping the nearest server, then wait for that to ping the other data center (to make sure the data is the same), then wait....

You may pay money, but I don't think Square or "McDonalds" will really want to pay for a seperate set of mirroring servers.
