Bahahahahaha, Bender as Vincent. Genius!

I just hope they review it again when 2.0 comes out... And SE lives up to the hype of 2.0 and doesn't burn... GO GO YOSHI-P!!!

Hilarious! The way I play this game I'd probably still stick around to see it lol!

Worst FF ever? Clearly someone never played FF IX!

I kid, I kid, I just really hated Zidane

What ever.. ign can suck my #kupo#.. Swtor got awsome reviews and all my friends are leaving already.. media seems biased

The article seemed pretty fair to me. The FF brand has deteriorated a lot since the days that made it famous, and the botched launch of XIV showed that. Also...

Bender? As VINCENT? The quiet brooding character with the dark past? Someone was drunk when they made this. Cid is a much better choice.

Are people really angry over a *positive review* of XIV's current state?

"It has improved greatly since those days and the plan laid out by the development team for version 2.0 shows promise."

"MMOs are long-term investments and perhaps once Square-Enix makes enough changes Final Fantasy XIV may live up to the brand's pedigree."

What's to disagree with? I think it's more than reasonable and fair to say that the launch was bad, and it's a reminder of how even the biggest corporations like SE and the biggest franchises like FF can falter if not careful.

In all fairness, they say it has nothing to do with the story, but rather that the game was released in an incomplete form, and released in a horrible fashion no less. Thier issue seems to be that XIV is the worst because it shows how SE got complacent in game design over the years. They do seem to have a positive outlook for 2.0 however, showing that SE is learning from it's gaffes.

seems like a fair enough assessment, for IGN anyway.
