thats what i did during the open beta, guess i need more ths coming weekend yeah !!

Thank you Square-Enix, thank you Final Fantasy! You will always have a special place in my heart.

Iv been following the remake of ARR since it was announced and nothing I can say would express my gratitude and respect for this dev team. It is an inspiration to all of us that hard work always pays off. Thank you everyone from Yoshida to the janitor for this game :D

Congrats Yoshi-P. So excited to play this game.

Thank you Yoshi-P for turning me into a lunatic who is so addicted that he just sits at his desk shaking with anticipation and counting down the seconds - well, that and playing replaying Kingdom Hearts.

These last few days have felt like years....

Can't wait to play on Saturday. :D

Thanks for your hard work, SE :)

Yeah guys, this game will be epic. I can't wait to experience this awesome FF tale lol. ^.^

He looks like that he doesn't want to be there. I suppose, when you have been working flat out on rebuilding Final Fantasy XIV, it does take it out of you.

Well done everyone involved in making the game and hopefully I will stay here for quite a long time.

Way to go team! You guys are awesome!

I cannot wait TO PLAY!
It is driving me crazy!

And do you know why? Because you guys resurrected a failed game and turned it into something great. This is the best installment of my favorite game series to come around in a long time.

THANK YOU.

Now go to bed!

I'm afraid he'll continue to look that way until post launch. Launch periods are pretty stressful on the crew because they generally have to accommodate for a larger amount of traffic and stress on the systems than say, a few months down the road. Imagine you live in an area and a very well known an anticipated restaurant just opens up. You get that line that wraps around for 2 or 3 blocks, but if you come back in a month, there's a steady stream, but no huge line.

LOL does he look fed up

Thank you so much Yoshida-san and team! You guys really have done an outstanding job at bringing the game back to life. I loved XIV before, but what you guys have now really is incredible, and I can't wait to see all the new content you guys are going to be making for us in the future.

Also, just as a gamer I want to say thank you again, but for a different reason. Publishers have a tendency to follow the crowd and imitate their competitors success. What you guys have done with FFXIV is truly amazing, and opens the door for designers the world over to be able to say "We want to fix our game! Don't cut off our funding, we can make it a success! Just look what Square Enix and the FFXIV team did! We can do it too!" I've been hoping beyond hope that you guys can be the example of how to bring an MMO back so that other companies can follow your example, and I have to say you have done an incredible job. As someone who loves games and the people who work in this crazy industry, thank you so much!

I still think we've got a couple more laps left in this race before full success, but I absolutely agree a congratulations is in order!

All of those long hours and sleepless nights are about to pay off! Great job and thank you devs / mods / everyone for all of your hard work! <(^-^)>

I couldn't agree more! Thanks for everyone's hard work and determination. Final Fantasy has always been my favorite, and thanks to everyone it will continue to be this way. I'm happy I stayed all the way through so I can see all the amazing progress you all made. Good job, no one else could have done better. =)

Thank You Square-Enix. I am impressed, this game is going to be huge!

thanks for all the dedication you put in this game!!!!

Love ya guys!!!

HUZZAH!!!!

Thank you!

Mad props to Yoshi-P and the devs for what they've accomplished! I can't think of any other MMO that flopped, went F2P, went back to P2P and then went offline so it could be redesigned in every aspect. Just the ambition and audacity to try something like that deserves some respect, no matter how you feel about the game. Personally I'm hooked and can't wait. Job well done!

Got me addicted again! I'm hooked and it's making me go crazy! O_O

Thank you Dev, Yoshi, and SE. Orz

I believe congratulations are in order, Yoshi and team.

You have successfully convinced me to use vacation days to extend my weekend so that I may play to my heart's content.

Yoshi did an awesome job. Good job to you and your team.

Yup I'm off for the from Friday afternoon till Sept 4th in the AM. Gonna rip it up. Ill need the extra time cause i like to drink and game so ill be cut half the time hahaha. 31 hours to go.

Great job. You are like our hero's.
After around 100 not really interesting attempts to play MMO´s This one is Good One.
Thank You.

I have to say this is a really impressive feat that the team has accomplished. 1.0 was just so off the mark and this reimaginging is a real home run. Awesome job.

Yes.. Thank you so much Yoshi-P and crew!!!

I think it's time to book my round trip flight to Tokyo so I can go kiss a short Japanese man.

let's wait and see a month later if there's content left to do...

yes gz, but I still think 1.0 was better, well at this moment could change.

I must say, with ARR, yoshi p and the entire square team has been very hands on with the community. And have kept us up to date on everything as it progresses. I honestly liked FFXIV back in v.1 but my computer counldnt handle it, with the updates and the possibility of play on the PS3 is phenomenal. Well done square, you have done it again. I think FFXIV:ARR is going to be another masterpeice.

Is it me or do those characters at the end of team look like a butt with pimples on it?

Butt (ha!) anyway, congrats on getting the game to launch. I'm excited to play.

Pretty awesome feat. Good job and congratulations to the FFXIV: ARR development team!

Thank you all for your mammoth efforts over the course of this fantastic remake. I truly hope you all take some time to relax and reflect on what a fantastic achievement this is!

I will also chime in here, it is a MASSIVE improvement since ver 1.0 and in earlier beta phases I was actually considering TESO, now I am thinking what competiton is there? :D

Good work team ^^

I remember watching that project rapture demo somewhere between 2005 and 2006. Hard to believe it's been so long but this game we've all been waiting for is finally here (again) and I can't wait to get lost in it like I did FFXI. <3

I will drill the game 20 hours/day. And I will still find it enjoyable. Lots of things to do... I just can't wait !!! Tomorrow... Less than 20 hours away... !

I cannot wait for tomorrow and for my CE to arrive I am going to Squeal like a piggy when I hear the delivery man arrive with my CE case. :D
