    The game was never as awful as you make it out to be. I started with the US release, I never ever got bored since
    We had it easy. The game was really, really rough prior to the NA release. A lot of changes were made, probably in anticipation of the NA playerbase not being as god tier as the JP playerbase, in the months before the NA launch.

    Heck, ive heard accounts that the JP pre-launch beta was debatably worse than FFXIV 1.0's beta phases.

    FFXI is an amazing game, but it didn't become amazing overnight.

    Indeed the release and the state of the game at JP release was bad, but it was their very first attempt at an MMO, 1.0 was their second, 2.0 was their third. FFXIV is two years old, five if you include 1.0. Zilart released one year after the original release and a lot of things were already fixed.

    Anyway, come and play FFXI, you spend too much time around here, it's bad for your nerves.
