This is sad.

I don't consider myself a S.E. fanboy, but I really feel for this guy. I have played and enjoyed other Final Fantasy games. When I was able to log on to XIV ARR I really enjoyed the game. It was a bit frustrated at times, but I do believe they will eventually sort out all the problems. I'm glad I didn't over react to E.A. Issues. So I have two questions. Is there anyplace that has this speech video with an English translation (subtitles)? Why is it titled his "last" speech? I hope they mean last speech of the event. I have faith seeing how much Yoshi cares about the game. I bought C.E. and I will be subscribing.

I'm the one that titled it "final" speech, because it was the speech that ended the event Yoshi's not going anywhere, thank goodness.

Unfortunately I lack the time to subtitle it, and the skill to do justice to what Yoshida said. Hopefully others will be able to take up on that challenge. Maybe SE themselves. They should really provide a version of the speech for the western audience.

It's kind of sad how most of you keep telling people to "grow up" or whatever when you see someone with a different opinion, but really, if only world problems could be solved by tearing up a bit. When you go to Mcdonalds to eat a hamburger, do you wish to be told the entire history behind the blood and work that went into establishing mcdonalds and as a consequence not get your hamburger for 2+ days or would you just like to get your hamburger and get out?

This is a business, no matter how you spin it or whatever the bleeding heart yields, this product did not deliver what it was supposed to deliver, end of story. You cannot possibly blame people for lashing out on not getting their hamburger can you? Especially not if you were one of the lucky ones that got to actually play during early access.

No matter how you spin it, on how you attempt completely unfitting comparisons in order to prove a false point. This is not a hamburger. It's an en extremely more complex product that took three years to make.

We absolutely can blame people for lashing out in an extremely rude and borderline insane way for two days of problems, that compared to those three years and to the years this game will last are nothing.

Saying that "this product did not deliver what it was supposed to deliver" is downright shameful, as the quality of this game is extremely high. Judging it on two days of server problems is something you should be ashamed of yourself for.
