Did you actually write the review months before and you're afraid to waste it? Well. Though luck.

Again. The first duty of a gaming journalist is to inform (and not mislead) their readers. In this this review simply fails radically.
But you dont know that... I mean all we kinda know is the small hints of the forums and the lodestone information (that incluides a letter from tanaka). There are many things that can happen... before that.. just look at what happend with the whole tsunami, and earthquake. You dont even know if the new system without fatigue is going to be good (after all we are all going to beta test it... kinda of). Afterall , by guiding ourselves by ur arguments then it would never be a "good moment" to make a review. When the first patch was comming out it would be like "give it time, tanaka just took the lead". Before the 1.17 it would be like "Grand companies are being anounced maybe they are comming next patch". This game is leading everyone by the hope of the "next big one" . Even if they review the game after 1.18 then it would be like "He should wait until 1.19 when chocobos are comming". Afterall you cant argue with "in two days its going to be garbage or misleading" because you dont know whats going to happen on the future. And this game is leading us by hopes about the next patch being an "improvement" to the game.

The review TODAY is good. In three or four days IF they release 1.18 and IF they dont split it into 1.18a and 1.18b and IF they implement everything they had promised so far and IF the new changes are good and they actually improve the gameplay THEN I say we go and start a flame war on the forums (count me in), and ask (in a very demanding way) for a new review for the game.

Afterall those are alot of "IF" and I really do have my hopes those ifs come true... im here posting, reading the lodestone hoping for the best, and I know im not alone.

The review is good today... if the guy who made this review made a review that its going to be valid only for 3 days then its HIS problem (afterall he would have to work on a new one, as he says..).
