Never said XI-2. Said 'the new XI' meaning carrying the good over and leaving the bad behind and having a 'fresh start' in a new FF world. They also were very vocal and even posted tons of videos with the staff showing how the game was going to be 'awesome' and everything they were 'excited' about before release(the monster animation one sticks out in my mind). I even remember reading how leves were going to 'remove the grind'. The launch was 'hyped up'. There's no denying that. Go read JP forums and read the rage they threw at SE for letting them down so hard when a lot of them bought new PCs to get a head start before PS3 release(since PS3 was originally planned for march, and majority of the JP playerbase are console players).

They had tons of loyal fans that thought they always 'delivered' when it came to their games, including myself. Just because they didn't deliver doesn't mean it was our fault. SE blew it, not us.

I also could have waiting a while longer before upgrading... SSD prices only went down in price and I could have gotten my GPU for much cheaper ><
