Apology from Yoshida Naoki, and translation for those needing it.

Make of it what you will; I have endured the errors and simply enjoy the game it is fleshing out thus far and am in for the long haul. For those literally not able to log in a single time, though at these hours minus the current maintenance, logging in has been easy if that's of any console, then I lament your loss and wish continued temperance if you seek it.

/salute Yoshida-san and staff

*small note here, where it reads, "Do your best!" is when he pauses to regain his composure momentarily.*

Apology shouldn't have been needed in the first place. They should have been prepared for this.

And before the fanboi force comes in and says "they had no way of being prepared!!!"...Bullshit, and you know it.

Agreed. Feels like they underestimated that the game would be so successful. But even if they did, Worlds with higher capacity could have been used as a precautionary measure for the launch. If the worlds didn't fill up in a few months, they could have simply merged the ones with low population.

There is just no pleasing some people.

Agreed. And, I think it's silly when people say "fanboi" or "fangirl". Because, yes I'm a fangirl. If I wasn't, then why would I buy the game? And people freaking out are also fans, because apparently it's so life-ruining that they are having registration and login problems. Would you care so much if you weren't a fan of the franchise or interested in the game? No, you'd have cancelled your order already.

Yes, it's annoying. But Yoshi-P and his crew are doing what they can NOW, and having a temper tantrum isn't going to change any thing.

There's a difference between being a fan of something and being a fanboi or fangirl, and if you don't know the difference, that's part of the problem.

You aren't willing to admit when mistakes were made, when there are FORESEEABLE problems that could've been prevented.

Everything in the game to you is PERFECT and nothing can cloud your vision of the product.

Well, I think that everyone is aware of the issues. However, crying about it isn't going to change much. There's already tons of threads doing just that. And, they're also already aware of how upset people are. Which is why the OP posted the video. I really think you need to take a break and do something else. Unless, playing FFXIV: ARR is your goal in life.

Also, you can watch these pandas going down a slide. It's made my day brighter.

You clearly have no idea what you're even talking about, or what you're defending.

People shouldn't be upset that they can't play the game they paid for? They shouldn't be upset that Square wasn't prepared for something that is foreseeable? Really?

Man the fanbois really ruin a lot of things.

At least I enjoy the game, but can admit the faults.

I stand by my statement. In a week all this crap will be fixed and all of you people constantly complaining will be non existent. Just like every other MMO

You stand by your completely ignorant statement?

Good to know, I can safely disregard anything you have to say concerning the matter.
