So... why aren't you playing Final Fantasy XIV?

They didn't listen to us in Alpha through open beta what was wrong with the game, rushed it out, and completely ignored the player base. That is the #1 reason that they game is not gone right.

To add to this, it's extremely hard for any MMO to play get back on a first impression these days. FFXIV pretty much had one big major chance to impress on launch and they blew it. However, the ironic thing is that SE won't let this game die, they'll just throw money at it, then release a port on PS3 at some time later to make some money back.

I will say that the game is getting better and better since it's horrible release. And it should be a free game well into November ish, the way it's looking.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 'relaunch' of FFXIV with the PS3 version during the holiday season. I think that will be the make-or-break point for FFXIV.

Indeed. It seems November will be that make or break moment, honestly.
