Fixed. :O

I've been here since the second phase of the beta for 1.0. To see how the game changed since then to what we have now with all the ups and downs has been a truly unique experience. Even now the game has flaws and kinks that need to be ironed out, but I'd be lying if I said it was not a good game or a worthy addition to the FF series.

Now the the bulk of the rush is done with in a matter of speaking (no having to rebuild a game from scratch), I look forward to seeing what the future has in store. I really hope the game will last as long as its predecessor and that we can look back during FFXIV's 5th, 10th and 15th anniversaries with fond memories in our hearts while still enjoying the game.

Thanks to all the dev team for making (or remaking in a sense) this game and to the community members that strive to make the game world enjoyable and alive for the other players.
It's been an excellent year with many great additions to the game and I look forward to seeing all the new and wonderful things that will be coming in the next year.

Up until I got to ARR I just completed all trophies for a game and got another, jumped from one game to another in couple of weeks just hunting trophies.
Feels weird that I basically haven't played anything else for about year now and don't really plan to get any new games. Maybe it's because of my fc too

When I started playing I never imagined I would still be doing so a year after. I tend to be very picky when it comes to MMOs. Over the years I've tried a lot of them but only 2 before this kept my attention for much more than a week. For that reason I can safely say that as long as the game is alive and kicking I'll be here enjoying it. Deciding to completely rebuild a game after it had failed is a crazy idea on its own. Doing so and making a success out of it is just amazing.

So thank you, Yoshi-P and everyone else on the team for making it possible for us to celebrate the 1st anniversary of ARR! May there be many more to come.

The Minstrel's quest, and the cutscene he gave, was surprisingly touching. Especially given that we know he's Yoshi-P's goofy author insert.

Chiming in on the thanks. This is one of those games were now and then you really feel the love that goes into it, and damn does it feel good.

Also, I'm buying like 10 stacks of Realm Reborn Red to put in my FC vault because that animation is amazing.

Thank you from me as well for the one year anniversary of XIV-ARR and 3 years since I'm joining 1.0. ^^

AH, i remember the day i was staring at that play button...waiting for it to light up. Good times. i do like the game but it's very hard coming back after a break.

Game turned out better then i thought it would. It goes to show a Game company can learn from mistakes by listening to at least the mature side of the playerbase.

Now only if CAPCOM could follow in your footsteps..

I just wanted to say I'm really glad that SE is taking actions against RMT. It's been my experience that not many MMO staff care enough to do something about it.

This game is worth every penny! Thanks Square Enix!

As I said during the 14 hour broadcast, thank you, the developers and your team members, for taking on the monumental task of saving Eorzea. Thank you, SquareEnix, for giving the chance over to Yoshida and gang to do so - for not placing the game 6 feet under like other gaming companies would have done. Those of us who stuck it out in 1.0 knew there had been plenty of potential and really hoped that potential would come to fruition. You all did it and made it a wonderful game. Yoshida~san and team - continue to be proud and work that magic for and within Eorzea. I look forward to continuously throwing my money at you guys (through subscription! I mean subscription!!)
