Yeah top gaming sites like kotaku Jajajaja! Funny how before they even said anything remotely good about FFXIV, everybody around here used to throw kotaku under the bus... And really it beat the last of us.... Did it beat GW2 ???

Yes, it did. And the reason we're talking about Kotaku is, they made a complete 180°. They went from saying the game was the crappiest crap on the planet, to praises Yoshi-P for turning the game around.

So you basically enhanced what I said two times in one post, how kind of you. Kotaku never said anything good about XIV up until recently, and now they're coloured impressed, along with a lot of their posters. As for beating Guild Wars 2, it won the award did it not? Last I checked if something wins an award and comes out in first place anything below first place is considered "beaten" but if there is some hidden rule I'm not aware of you may proceed to educate me on it.

Guild Wars 2 wasn't even on the initial list but players voted for it anyway using "Other".

See, I was trying to help you out here, because the Japanese launch was worse, and by the time NA got it, almost everything was fixed.

10 year vet of FFXI and played the JP version before it even arrived in NA

Cuz, you know... players voting on their favorite game to win an award (a COMMUNITY AWARD that happened to win by active players here linked to the voting poll) means an entire site is saying good things about it... yea, that totally makes sense.

Oh hello detective Barnivere I didn't see you there. A valid point you make, but you don't seem to consider that all those other games also have their fanbase. The Last of Us was one of the top games demonstrated at E3 this year and I for one have not stopped hearing about it. On that site and any other you can look all over the place and people are talking praise about ARR and Yoshida's direction on it. For the last few weeks every single site I've been going to that's been reviewing the new ARR information is flooded with good comments.

I am saddened that a thread intended to welcome a new director is already becoming a cesspool of people posting negative comments about him and not giving Yoshida credit when it is stupidly obvious everywhere you look that people both on and off these forums are praising him. As good ol' Leveridge says, faith in my fellow man has always been a shortcoming of mine.
