Looks like they need to repeat history. Also if this is best that their "Top talent and resources" can produce I think its time to leave the gaming industry. I went though the failed launched of version 1.0 and refuse to sit around while they f*ck us over again.Quote:
Thank you for your continued interest in and support of FINAL FANTASY XIV.
While more than two months have passed since the official launch of FINAL FANTASY XIV service, we deeply regret that the game has yet to achieve the level of enjoyability that FINAL FANTASY fans have come to expect from the franchise, and for this we offer our sincerest of apologies.
After thorough deliberation on how to meet those expectations, it was decided that the most viable step was to approach improvements under new leadership and with a restructured team.
To realize this vision, and in doing so, provide our customers with a better game experience, we have assembled our company’s top talent and resources. Taking over the role of producer and director is Naoki Yoshida, a passionate individual for whom customer satisfaction has always taken top priority. Not only is he one of our Group’s most accomplished and experienced members, Naoki Yoshida is also a charismatic leader possessing the skill to bring together and effectively helm a team which encompasses a wide range of responsibilities. We also welcome several new leaders handpicked from other projects to work with the existing talent on FINAL FANTASY XIV.
We realize time is of the essence and are fully determined to provide our customers with quality service. It is because of this that we ask our customers to be patient until we are able to confidently present them with a concrete plan outlining FINAL FANTASY XIV’s new direction. The free trial period will be extended until that time.
Regarding the PlayStation 3, it is not our wish to release a simple conversion of the Windows version in its current state, but rather an update that includes all the improvements we have planned. For that reason, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of the PlayStation 3 version beyond the originally announced date of March 2011.
The FINAL FANTASY XIV team is working hard to bring our customers an unparalleled adventure, and we ask for your continued understanding and support as we march ever diligently towards that goal.
President and CEO, Yoichi Wada
SE, Please repeat history.

Well, actually, the game itself is quite good. It's just the server issues that make it unplayable, which should hopefully be alleviated tomorrow night.

And how exactly are they "f"Ing you ? They didn't plan this. Believe me when I say they are more upset at this potentially crippling mark on their game then you are at having to find something else to entertain you for a couple afternoons.

09-03-2013, 09:18 AMufufuOh, I know. Somebody should be fired over this and incentives to keep us subscribed should absolutely be given, and I agree that it's entirely their fault. The game is fun though, as I'm sure you can attest to with your level 47 character.Quote:

Well the point of FFMXVII is to only click the ok button over and over and over again... every time you do... you win the game, then you start over again!

Although sometimes... you run into boss battles... which include the dreaded 2002 boss or the 10102 boss... those make you lose the game :(

09-03-2013, 09:39 AMVeriferVentiI agree that this is a problem that could have been prevented since they had the numbers, but I wouldn't blame Yoshida. He is just the sacrificial lamb that the SE executives have offered up to the players. In the end, I think that the executives for SE only felt as though they could justify spending enough on servers so that they knew they would earn a profit, and would not spend a penny more until they realized they absolutely had to. And in the worst case scenario, all they need to do is sell out their producer who made the game what it is. And the game itself, is great.Quote:
