Great article imo. There's more discussion on it at the reddit post here.

I read that this morning, linked it to all my shellmates. In my opinion it was a well-written article. I like that the author seemed to know what the hell was going on in the FF universe.

And people were afraid that the game will get negative reviews based on 1.0 launch.

a very inspiring article.

Great read! Nice to see 1Up actually writing an article I can stand to read.

That was the best FFXIV article I have read, it referenced everything relevant and gave the readers a good overview of what has happened and what is going to happen. Also it was nice of the guys to give the writer 100k, if he came to Gungnir I would have taken an interview :)

He also seemed to know a lot about the game, and seems to have done his research, unlike these review sites. I'm sure he didn't play much but this is a news article and he did all the research he needed to make a well informed article.

XII is an awesome game to me.. :D but I am the Minority :P

Inspiring and surprisingly unbiased.

I'm really happy he actually bothered to talk with the players and do his research, if all gaming "journalists" had this caliber of writing and work attitude we'd have a lot more respectable websites.

I think a lot of FFXIV is based on FFXII which is btw one of my top 5 in the FF world.
