The Offical thank you thread to the Dev. team and Naoki Yoshida -DO NOT DARE TROLL >(

Really loving the game so far. Thanks for putting so much effort into a game that you could have just left to die and swept under the rug. My heart goes out to the server teams, I know you guys and girls are doing everything you can and all you're seeing is negativity from the community, know that its born more out of frustration and not hate for the product itself (which is stellar).

I never played V 1.0 but Im really enjoying ARR. The Dev Team did a great job with it from what all I can tell.

Yes - the game is very fun - thanks for all the hard work :)

The boss at the login screen is hard to beat but once you pass it, game is excellent :)
Didn't have much issues over the past 2 days

i again would like to extend my deep gratitude to the team for rebuilding this game for us, instead of just fixing what you had and being done with it, you went above and beyond to fully rehaul the basic key elements of the game to support greater features than 1.0 could ever have handled.

Your dedication shows in the quality of play, and in the sleepless nights you've put in at the office to make it happen so quickly. I'm honestly surprised you aren't in a coma by now, Yoshida san.

Whilst there's unfortunately no time to rest, i hope you find yourself a few quiet hours to refresh and recharge, our game would be very different without it's honoured director.

I'll drink a pint in your honour sir, Thank you.

Thank you very much team!

Aside from a few launch growing pains I'm loving this game.

And thank you Yoshi-P for "Tanking" the blame. :)

I was ambushed by the ferocity of epicness that is this game and I'm having a blast playing with my girlfriend who is new to the series who im afraid is already quite addicted. Clever girl yoshi-P clever girl. You have the support of many players worldwide and the consensus of your success did not disappoint with the realm reborn!

Much Love

Thank you to everyone who worked on the game! An amazing job by all, I'm having a great time ^^~

The game is so much fun to play, It is a great thing to see such a passionate gamer making games. Every time Yoshi comes out and talks about the game I cannot help but feel like this game is only getting better.

I look forward to all the future content from Yoshi and the devs.

Posting this from another thread:

Congratulations to Yoshi P and the dev team doing a great job on recreating the game. I've played 1.0 in beta and it wasn't good at all. I had one quest that took hours to do because you had to do something in the correct order and all it gave you was a visual of what to do. Now with 2.0 I never had any problems even with a simple emote quest and the dungeon I did last night was amazing, first time I ever did a dungeon in the game. Sadly for a DPS queue times are long. but it was worth the wait. I don't mind the long log in times either. Just goes to show how amazing a game you got and how many people want to play.

To everyone who feels like their role in FFXIV is a thankless one where you get blamed when things go wrong but never thanked when things are running smoothly.... Thank you! Thank you for all your hard work! It's thanks to you that we can have great adventures in Eorzea with our friends and family!

Thanks for what? Being able to not log in being told my code is invalid and thanks for taking my hard and money and not giving me what I paid for

Want to add my Thank you to the devs and Naoki Yoshida, I was a long time player in FFXI spent 3 years plus there ,have looked and looked for a new rpg sense then with out any luck finding one as good. Well my wait is over love the scenery game play and all the new crafting systems . Great job on the game ,looking forward to three plus years in game and for the updates to come. ignore the haters you guys are doing excellent , keep up the hard work .

thanks for the infrastructure oversight. It really showcases what you've worked so hard on.

I am truly impressed. I'm pretty sure you all included everything I ever wanted. :) Thanks so much for the amazing game.

to all the developers, artists, programmers, and others who have been instrumental in bringing us this wonderful game: thank you.

I'm having a blast when I can log on: Solidify that server infrastructure and I'll be extra happy. ^^

To Yoshi-P and the entire skilled-beyond-reason dev team,

I bear no shame when I admit that I was beside myself waiting. Waiting for the map-designers of XI to strut their stuff again. Waiting for SE's true assets to turn this game into something that takes my breath away like XI did. I shamelessly admit that the entire time I was thinking, "You're taking too long! CODE TIL YOU PASS OUT! Go go go!" Of course I was thinking unreasonably. I'm a rabid fan of everything you guys do, ever since XI. And for the members of the team who didn't take part in XI, you still came through for everyone. All your hard work is so very much appreciated. I hope you all get bonus after bonus, raise after raise, because the success you bring SE in this masterpiece is immeasurable. Thank you so, so much for this flippin' BEAUTIFUL game. I swear I have to be careful, you should bring back the, "don't neglect your family and friends" message, because I am borderline after release, here.

And to Yoshi-P, thank you for being the tank. Thank you for your confidence and direction. Thank you for looking past all the acid that spews forth so readily from the NA forums. You have endured, and you have directed this product flawlessly. Others may call me a white knight, but this title has renewed my faith in SE as of late. They won my heart all over again. And you, Naoki Yoshida, play a HUGE role in that. Thank you.

Last but not least, to Tanaka for hanging in there. 1.0 was a beautiful product that I have sunk thousands of joyful hours into. I truly appreciated it despite its flaws, as its merits shined brighter. Though I am not bitter about the general opinion contrary to mine as it has brought about a product that shines even brighter. But remember, Tanaka. None of it would have been possible in the first place if it weren't for you. Thank you.

Most.
MMO.
Fun.
Ever.
(And I lived FFXI for over 6 years)

Yoshi P, your team has really created something special. I look forward to the ride.

FFXIV:ARR is wonderful!

Nothing is without it's flaws, but it is rare that something is this good.
I and my friends are having such a great time and look forward to new implementations and updates hungrily <3　

Great job to the entire FFXIV development team~! がんばって～！＾＾

Yoshi-p today at pax event said he felt weird that he received lots thank you from us. He think it should be he thank us...
But he really bring lots fun for our lives... so the teams still own my thank you

i am very impressed with the overall quality of the environments and yet to find anything bugged at all in game.

10/10 would play all day

I have to say that, this is the first time I witnessed someone take a broken and failed MMO and make a gutsy decision to just rebuild an entire game from scratch. Not only did he succeed but he made it happen very quickly. Most if not all MMO's take 4yrs+ to develop I would guess and Yoshi basically developed a completely new game in a matter of 2 1/2 years. That is impressive! I supported the team throughout all of 1.0 and witnessed how the "new" game was evolving. But some people do not stop and think about what the dev team went through to get where we are today with ARR, they just whine and complain. The only issues that people are complaining from what I see are with connection issues. I haven't run into anything wrong at all with the game itself. The connection issues will be fixed soon. We just have to be patient.

Anyway, thank you Yoshi-P and team! I will continue to support you in this masterpiece! :)

A personal thank you to all the development teams. Your efforts are apparent in every facet of this incredible game. Yoshida-san, the emotions you displayed on behalf of the game you poured so much effort and heart into truly moved me. Thank you once again.

Finally a huge shout-out to the North American localization team. I am stunned by the hilarity and accuracy of a game that was natively not made in English. Congratulations, your work is fantastic.

I love this game. Aside from the server problems(which will be fixed soon if people will only be patient) i've had a great time when i played. I havent had this much fun playing an MMO since World of Warcraft and i stopped playing that years ago. I've played Aion, Tera, Rift, SWTOR, and GW2 and none have held my attention more than this game. I will definitely be playing this game for years.

Thanks dev team and Yoshi-P!

maybe next year.

When is the launch?

皆様,、ありがとうございます！　お疲れ様でした！

Feel free to edit it into your original post if you see this :)

Cancelled my pre-order because of obvious complications, just waiting on the beginning of next week for the fixes to be applied so I can buy it.. Can't wait to play this game every day after work! Thank you, Ser Naoki Yoshida! Winter is coming, and I need FFXIV.

Thank you for all of your dedication and hard work, this game is a amazing and the attention to detail can be seen throughout. Problems will pursue the most diligent of work and generally, when we are so focused on a task we might overlook the most fundamental of processes. You will encounter those who are severely impatient and conversely those whose patience is coupled with the thrill of discovering the world you have crafted for the players.

I fully appreciate your efforts and hope that you continue in this struggle to provide the best Final Fantasy title possible.

Keep it going! =)

This game is amazing! I am happy to be a part of it and hope to have the issues ironed out soon. That way everyone can see how awesome this game truly is!

Thank you for bringing this into the world Dev Team!!

The Scholar of Thaliak sides with the developers!

You are doing great, keep it up and we hope to see you in the game when you're done, okay?

Can't make a thread because my level is too low (because I can't log in) so figured this would be a good place for this:

Awesome game. Didn't play 1.0, so I'd say as always (except maybe ffx13...that was meh). Can't play this awesome game right now, so I'm waiting it out by playing through FF7. If it's still not fixed by the time I beat it, I'll break out the old playstation and play through ff8, then ff9 if necessary.

ty SE for making a great game.... too bad only half of your customers can even get in to play or and your customer service has been doing illegal things with people's personal information, but all that aside, thanks for the improvements you've made and I hope that this time you actually fix the server issues with the new servers your putting in next week. I know last time you said you had a fix and were fixing the servers, all that did was create brand new error codes like 90k error coming back, but hopefully your fix actually does something. hope it all goes well and you win back all of your customers and fans that you've lost.

i'm not trolling, this is an honest thank you to the company, but I will not blindly thank them without stating the facts of the wrongs they've done and my hopes that they fix it. I have faith in SE and that they will make this a success after they fix those issues.

Thank you. You have done an amazing job, and all things considered with the short amount of time you have had to fix a broken game, I wholeheartedly thank both Yoshi P and his entire team. I will keep throwing money at you until I'm bankrupt if it keeps this amazing game going.

Just give me FFVI Terra's Theme when I'm riding a Magitek armour and I will be in complete heaven.

I will admit. The fact the ONLY problem this game has are server issues and log ins and not in the game itself, its still pretty good. So despite that complaint, thanks for all the hard work. It had been a long time since I enjoyed a good Final Fantasy game since VII and XI wasn't exactly for me.

So to have it and even have FFVI call outs is making me all nosgaltic and happy. But the gameplay is great too. Thanks for the hard work and here is for the next few years!

u had it with our community? think if all the people that cant get in the game. there's people that haven't been able to play since OB because of the server issues which is SE's fault. before sayin that u've had it with our community, try thinking outside urself and put urself in our shoes. yes we should be thanking SE for doing a good job in remaking the game, but we should also tell them when we're dissatisfied with their customer service which recently was caught sharin personal info from a customer to another (which is illegal) and their server issues which took them way too long to even acknowledge. my point is, don't be surprised that people aren't blindly thankin them when there's plenty of errors and wrong business practices happening.

I have suffered from the dreadful server/login issues but i have to give credit where it is due. I am having a wonderful time in Eorzea at the moment, the dungeons are beautiful with all creatures emanating the soul and essence of the Final Fantasy series. I'm happy you took the chance to give Eorzea a chance to be reborn.

FFXIV:RR. Thank you!

/hug

its the best ff since ff13 :D love it. almost as good as 13 if it was all voiced :D

Thank You for the great game, Its keeping me very entertained :D.
