Easy Raze. I don't want you to get all emotional and cut yourself. Also thanks for checking my profile, lame archer and fishbot nasty WORDS.

What silly timing for this review, it's been 10 months and they choose right now before a huge patch to review? Not that I doubt it would have changed their opinion or score a metric ton.

It's just odd to write a review that will be obsolete in a mere 4 days.

To me it's not odd, it's suspicious. They've probably got an ulterior motive for doing so.

I doubt it, chances are they just didn't want to wait and they probably "Finished" with the play part of the review weeks if not months ago. They make no mention of any of the real updates to the system.

I think they are just lazy.

Releasing an overly and hyperbolically negative review just before the release of a major patch that will usher further radical changes to be played out in less than two months is downright unprofessional (not that i've ever seen anything that i could define "professional" from MMORPG.com...). There isn't much more to say about it.

So much that it actually looks quite fishy.

Looking into the comments a few people have also seen through thier bias, its abvious the reviewer is brain dead or somthing

[Galoot]

The review is dead on whether you like it or not...patch or no patch they put out a bad product to begin with. The reviewer even says that there is big patches on the way, but he had given FFXIV enough time which was about a year...that's long enough. This review is only an opinion as we all have opinions so I don't know why people would get bent out of shape over it. The game will truly begin on PS3 release after patch 1.20 until then it's all hype and waiting to see what direction this game goes. I can say that the original team should never work on an MMO again because this is the most boring game ever right now. Once leves are done I just log out...there is nothing more of interest...

They did say that patches were coming, didnt say when and anything he mentioned in that will be in 1.18 he said was a rumour, like auto attack when it is official, while the review is right with what it says, alot was missed out and it was a bad time for the review which makes it useless

Sorry but no. Reviews aren't opinion pieces, if they are decent reviews of course. Opinions in a reviews are welcome, but they shouldn't ever overpower facts.

The reviewer waited 10 months to review the game, which means that there's no dog running after him to bite him in the rear. Which makes a very convenient release of an hyperbole-filled review a few days after major changes very, very suspicious, and at the very least journalistically shameful.

You simply don't release a review that will be inaccurate in a few days. It's not done, or shouldn't be, especially when you know that.

And if you don't know, then maybe you shouldn't be a gaming journalist.

This^^ Too bad people are too ignorant or not analytical enough to get it. It saddens me too say it, but this review is even more unprofessional and more pathetic than most ign reviews LoL They can't even get their facts straight, plus using the word "rumor" on content that has been confirmed for quite a few months is laughable. It's all about the facts... and the fact is this review couldn't have been timed worse and is a huge unprofessional pile of ****!

1.18-1.20 has an INSANE amount of features already confirmed, plus tons that obviously haven't. (plus all the in-between patches for each major one) The game IS changing drastically, for better or worse and whether you like/accept it or not >.< To anyone saying otherwise it makes you sound like a total reject lol Miracle patch isn't the right wording for sure... but game changer sure is, and that's a fact!!!
