To the Devs...

I just wanted to say thank you to the devs and designers for making what is in my mind, an excellent game. I think that though the start was rocky, we are starting to see the beginnings of the best MMO on the market. I love that there are so many different things to do when I log on: leves, quests, behests, crafting, gathering, guild tasks, and the list will just get bigger as time goes on.

I have played a lot of other MMOs and nothing else appeals to me as much as FFXIV. No matter if I have 30 hours to play that week or 10 hours to play that week I find I am always with something to do, with a goal to pursue.

I find the systems in place very good, and I think that the suggestions that the community has made so far that the devs have implemented have improved the game significantly, and I'm happy that the devs listen to the community, despite the hostile nature it portrays sometimes. Know that though the writers may be harsh, most enjoy your work so much more than they let on, else they would not be here at all.

I look forward to a strong future for FFXIV, and at last I know I have found a long term home in the MMO world after a long rash of trial and error since the launch of WoW. Please continue to listen to the players, and cater as much to each different group as you possibly can, not neglecting any single one. The hard cores need their hard core content, the casuals need their casual content, and the moderates need to be able to swing back and forth as their schedules allow.

Thanks for your efforts and have a great Golden Week!

Good work Yoshida and team, you're doing a great job. Don't let the trolls and (insert game here) purists get to you. You've yet to let me down, I have faith in your decisions and the future of this game.

Perfect example of an immature and unnecessary post.

No need to sarcastic and rude. It's clear they're putting a lot of effort into this game when they could have abandoned it long ago and that at the very least is something that should be appreciated.

for once i can agree with belgian. they are making the servers more equal to you own personal rpg at this time instead of a mmo. yoshi is doing a great job of that so far.

Even though people claim him to be a 'troll', a lot of his posts have some true to them.
I'm not thanking them till the majority of the game is fixed... hurry up mid-june

You can have unpopular yet accurate posts without coming across as an antagonizing jerk, though.

He should level that skill to 50 next.

I agree he's often accurate, but I think the "troll" part is coming from his mannerisms.

I'd also like to say thanks to the devs ^^ yes the game has a way to go still, but I'm actually finding things to do now and am having fun. And all the negative posts about the game get depressing >.>;

I can't wait for mid June update, to those saying they are taking their sweet time with it. Consider the size of the update planned, an update of equal size in XI would take 3+ months to come out. So while it still may suck to wait after having waited already, it is pretty damn fast compared to what would normally happen (ie took 3 months from release to add in not-so-big NM update)

Well said OP.

That's sir, is the best site ever created. In honor of BR I'm going to play this non-stop for 24 hours and enjoy every second of it.

Thanks Yoshi and Co. you guys are doing a lot of hard work and it's showing. Some might say you're moving slow but who cares what they think when they asked for the drastic changes.

Keep doing what you do and it will pay off in the end.

Another thing I've discovered is that if I can get people to quote my posts, my message will still be heard when the mods delete the original. They tend to only delete the original.

I see. It's like some form of immortality.

How come they deleted your post? How did it go against the forums? People report anything that they don't agree with.

that was funny to see a post deleted just because the opinion differs. there was nothing against tos in his post, but it differed from what they want to see so was deleted.

are these forums supposed to be about stating an opinion or about only stating an opinion if it agrees with the games direction? i thought it was bout posting feedback not sugar coating pretending everything is fantastic.

Actually, the mods don't delete posts just because they differ in opinion. It appears that they have a strict set of rules they must follow before they can delete a post.

The developers need recognition for their work. If we were paying a subscription fee, I guess we would be more entitled to be rude to them for not developing fast enough etc. However, there does still seem to be a lack of direction at SE, so I cannot applaud them for that, sorry.

but they are still paying their employees to make the game, therefore, we can expect them to put forward something tangible.

i know in my line of work i get paid after i do the job i am being paid for. i do industrial concrete work and i don't get paid until after i pour the concrete and get the job completed. why should we pay developers until after they get the game developed?

Honestly I do love this game. I did buy two collectors copies of the game on launch day. Went so far as to convince the Gamestop store manager to open at midnight just for me. I just recently opened the second copy of the game so that my roommate and I can play together. I've been playing off and on since launch. I haven't really focused down on jobs, just been wandering and seeing what I can do. I do love this game. I'm an old school FFXI player (NA Beta - Dec 2010 Currently on a break from the game). I do have faith in Square Enix. So much so that my account has maxed out Crysta. Thanks Devs for all your hard work.

Sincerely
Ceilio Riverwind

This thread is hilarious. I for one feel worse about the state of FFXIV after reading the recent Letter from the Producer.

Well that was to be expected from you.
