The Rising - A Giant Thank You!

[Crimen]

Thank you thank you thank you so much for this event. I got emotional, not gonna lie. This is definitely the best event yet! This was very creative and I loved every single second of having my character "meet" you guys.
As others have mentioned, I too saw the amazing changes from 1.0 to what it has become.

Thank you, all of you for saving this game that I call my second home; this game in which I have made so many incredible friends and memories throughout the years.
Here's to many more years to come! Happy anniversary! /cheer
Maybe one day I'll get to see some of you at a Fan Fest!

i also want to say thanks for a amazing game.

starting late in 1.0 and sad when the servers were shut down to be re open to the game we all love and enjoy playing.

thank you.

Many of us are very vocal in criticizing elements of the game (myself included), but what can easily get lost in discussion of features, statistics, adjustments, and whatnot is that FFXIV is definitely made by a team that is passionate about it. And they've managed to create a persistent world that I have been invested in for what's a surprisingly long time now! No matter how much I gripe, I keep coming back and I certainly love the world, characters, and all the cool things we've gotten since 2.0 vanilla hit. So to YOSHIDAAAAAA and company: I'm happy to be here, even if it doesn't always sound like it. This event was just so so so so cool, and I loved all of it. I got some really great laughs too, especially out of Fern's rambling and Soken wanting to see everyone in healing culottes.

I must admit I got a bit misty eyed. It feels awesome to be a part of something that has demanded so much work and love to create. A huge thank you from me and I will give the only thing I can: my loyalty as a customer and fan

Hahahaha, i almost burst into tears on the Eighteenth Floor. Puts things into perspective.
Especially the music playing. I remember when i installed the phase 4 beta and went to sleep, i woke up to that music playing on the main menu. Good times.

This in a nutshell, it will be ppl who do suggest improvements that will end up making this game even better then it is now.

SE has done a excellent job at turning this game around from the disaster of 1.0, I give them a lot of credit for that and its ok to say theres still room for improvement.

Im glad its here and I hope we all remain happy enough for many years ahead in order to to keep it alive and well. Anything ff related is normally well worth the time

The event was pretty good yup, quick, with some nice cs.
