It is called information management it is an [SIZE="5"]everyday[/SIZE] part of the job of the PR department. If this were a Japanese website I guarantee you Square Enix would care and do something however their US branch seems to be completely worthless for anything other than making redundant posts on this forum.

Then... well yeah it's the fault of Square Enix U.S.

Can't really think of anything to add to that...

^This^ or v This v (if reverse ordered like me).

Don't get bent out of shape because they haven't given XIV a proper "Re-Review" yet. It's still too early for that and if they did do a re-review it would still be bad at this juncture...wouldn't be prudent....not gonna do it. Papa Bush

Pfft, just consider yourself lucky they are even releasing FFXIV-related news at all.

I agree. No news is good news, at least for the next little while. We're not ready for prime time, yet.

No news is not an option when these sites just ran news stories about the game.... do you even read topics before writing your little quips?

If this is the only information they are releasing I would rather they didn't release anything at all. This makes it looks like since the game launched to the bad review the only thing which has changed are plans for chocobos and airships in a patch that was delayed. To people reading that site it looks terrible (much worse than it actually is in reality).

Anyone following those trash sites is an idiot, and probably best off out of the game.

The only site worse than those above is mmosite, but you'd have trouble finding any serious article between the broken Engrish and all the damned porn.

Massively at least is objective, And the guy writing the column is knowledgeable and informed.

Dont hate on them because SE put themselfs in a bad position.

when people say this, it shows how much they dont know, you do realize that this new team, had to start off by seeming where the old team left of, see what is wrong, start fixing it, and add in their own stuff, along with trying to keep it's player base happy....... "spending a year doing something so simple".... yeah sorry but I think getting the game properly playable is more important then adding chocobos.

I do read the topics. Can you read that I was replying to someone's specific post before writing your little quips? I think not.

Did someone on those boards rag on you for liking FFXIV, OP?

You know what? F*ck the Reviews and play the game. It's not out of reviews that you will like FFXIV since it yet has to be released on full version. Play it and you'll see if you like it or not.
