I was told to post this here by customer support and I figure its worth my time and to hopefully show some other players that they are not alone in this.

When Final Fantasy 14 1.0 came out I bought the collectors edition box for about 70$ because I was excited to see a new Final Fantasy MMO come to the shelves since I loved the last one. And like everyone who bought 1.0 I was disappointed and angry that I had wasted money on a game that was on all accounts -unplayable- From the loading times to open something as simple as an inventory screen to waiting for everything to load when you moved to another part of a zone I quickly put down the game and wrote it off as a waste of 70$. That was until when my friend said he was playing FFXIV and said they came out with a new version of the game Final Fantasy 14 A Realm Reborn.
