Yoshi-P's heartfelt speech.

Looks like there are alot of 5 years old kiddies, those kids who can only yell i want i want and i want it now! Do everyone a favour, leave the game and grow up.
If you want a nearly perfect game, then don´t buy the game @ the release date.
There are always issues with games, especially with mmo's but some people don´t care about it, because people who make a game aren´t allowed to make mistakes because its their job to make a perfect game w/o issues.
You bought the game with your hard-earned money? That´s sweet but if you guys can´t read the forum about the current issues (before the official launch or now), want a perfect game right away after the release (or EA) and/or can´t wait till they fix the issues, then you should rethink your attitude.
Sure its a bit disappointing after you went home from work and want to play a game you bought but you can´t right now.
There is a simply solution: Either you wait till they fix the issues or get your money back from the retailer.

What exactly did we do? Most feedback was met with working as intended.

Way back when they officially announced that the game would be remade, when a massive set of questions and feedback was sent out to the player base who still bothered with 1.0 and didn't quit. That's what he's talking about. Not Beta.

Funny thread. You all sound like a bunch of children who dropped their popsicles and hate the world until mommy gives you another one.

I couldn't help but feel his emotions, though it couldn't possibly compare. I hope he truly knows that his fans support him 100%, thousands of us, from all nationalities.

On another note, history is repeating itself for SE. When they faced bankruptcy, they released the most popular RPG in history, FF1. The title that started it all. Now what do we see here? A Realm Reborn. And they actually fcking pulled it off.

We were here from the start. We put our faith in Yoshi-P, and while I enjoyed the original game very much, 2.0 still feeds my addiction quite adequately.


edit:
I cannot believe all these vile comments I am seeing! Are you people really this full of hate? Are you this frustrated, this impatient, this naive? The MMO launched, these things happen. They made too humble an estimation, can you really blame them? Would you not do the same after such a disastrous start in 2010? Would YOU expect so many people to flood in, even with all the advertising?

As for the pre-order estimations on server limits, yes you can get a semi-accurate headcount from pre-orders. However, you can NOT accurately predict when that head count will pour in at what times. You can NOT accurately predict just how many people will leave their computers on and stay logged in as they run errands, go to work, or sleep. And especially, you can NOT accurately predict how many people buy the game during and after official release.

I've been wanting to say this for days as this is the fcking beta forums all over again- Please take your vile, disgusting attitudes away from here. It is making me physically and emotionally ill. I understand you're frustrated, but as others have said, you're not paying for a subscription yet. WHY do you think MMOs purchased come with a free month, anyway?! Promotional, yes, but mostly? Expected launch issues! With the nature of free will, no amount of statistical predictions will tell you how to be suitably prepared. They are obviously working on it like a fcking fire is under their asses, so please, just STOP!

I remember a time when the PC gaming community had some fcking class. You kids (and "adults") are ruining my environment. Shoo.

The whole Final Fantasy XIV team gets my respect. Much love to them all~

It's hard to watch the vid and not realize how important the game is to him and his team. I could care less about being called a White Knight (so the hell what? Is it wrong of me to be a fan and avid supporter of the game?), I will continue to support the dev team and Yoshi-P. I suffered alongside everyone with the ridiculous 1017,s and all that, and was beyond frustrated having both P4 wasted, pretty much all of early access, and then not being able to have friends roll on our server after I recommended the game and they per-ordred it, and we weren;t able to form our FC up until just recently due to these issues. That being said, we still dig the game immensely, and are looking forward to more.

So worked up because you "paid". ALL THAT HARD WORK that went into those 30 - 60 dollars. All of it. You could buy a house with that. It's understandable. Most people who bought the game and are now whining about not being able to access a recently (1 day) launched MMORPG probably had to save for years in order to get it. It's logical, I can feel their frustration at standing in front of their cheap, second-hand, almost unusable computers that can barely play the game, connect through their 56k dial-up modems, eating cans of refried beans on a wooden chair all excited to log in, only to be presented with a hellish, unbearable "world is full" error.

On the other hand, I myself feel grateful that I've been and will be able to experience such a beautiful world which would have never happened had it not been thanks to the _ TRUE YEARS OF WORK AND STRESS_ Yoshi and his incredible development team went through.

Thanks to all of them, I trust the issues will be resolved soon.

If you want things done, vote with your wallet. Give SE money to pay for throwaway server hardware they likely won't be using 1-2 months after the free trial period has ended. They made an estimate of how many subscribing players would peak at certain times, and made additional room available for launch.
Obviously things aren't as cut-and-dry, but alot of people are making it out to be. Until SE release information about it, we won't really know.

When I've been able to play this game, I've been in awe over and over again. The little things that have made the game enjoyable for me makes me eternally grateful for the work Yoshi-P and his team have done, and are continuing to do for this game.

Just watched it for the first time, makes me teary myself... he's such an amazing guy. I'd hang out with him anytime. :)

Granted it has been a rough start, but the bottom line is, its still a really fun game, the team have done a good job in that area, now if they can just keep those damn servers up.
