    By the time they released the game to the public,
    paying customers like me and reviewers around the
    globe, each of those wheels had 4 razor-sharp edges.

    As you, I hope they can improve enough to warrant
    a complete re-review. They are already moving into
    a good direction. But releasing the game in the state
    it was was an unforgiveable impudence they are rightfully
    bleeding for now.

    "Unforgivable" is a quite big word. Releasing a game in an unfinished state is very, very far from something I'd ever describe as "unforgivable", as there are quite a lot of factors that contribute to that decision, and not always they are completely controllable by the publisher or even more by the developer.

    Oh, as a reviewer myself, I can easily tell you that the opinion of 99% of reviewers means absolutely nothing. Many of them didn't even play the game past level 10 (without even counting those that wrote their review starting with a very clear bias against Square Enix, since bashing them and other Japanese devs seems to be the "in" thing to do nowadays).
    *that* is something I would describe as approaching the level of "unforgivable", as it goes quite clearly against journalistic integrity.
