The worst part of this, and I speak for every single FFXIV player -- is that no matter how damn hard you want ARR in your hands we all know deep down that Yoshi and his team, and Square enix as a whole really cannot afford to release it until it's absolutely finished.

They of course want to meet deadlines and expectations, but they are willing to break deadlines if it means delivering the finished product we all really want. You can rant and rave, you can speculate and grow impatient, but just remember to take it week by week and remind yourself that every day you're not yet playing ARR is a day that the game becomes better to play.
