So I reported the issue with the launcher bug in FFXIV support center and I finally got a reply from them after 2 days. This is my second time doing this. I shit you not, They literally copy and pasted their response to my first one. What in the world....


"We apologize for any inconvenience. Many users have reported being unable to log into the game. We ask you to try again at a later time as there has been much server congestion recently with the release. We thank you for your patience and continued support"
