To be honest, this could be very good for FFXIV. I always felt like they should have just reset the servers once they made the necessary over-haul. So maybe this will give them some time to get things running smoothly without players online complaining about everything? I don't think they'd keep them down too long, or at least they'd be on par with FFXI's server downtime. (Unless, it makes it too similar to FFXI-2. Har-har).

What worries me is that they are taking down FFXI as well. You know it's bad if they're taking down their successful -(and subscribed)- MMO severs too.

Game speculations aside, I really do hope everyone at Square Enix is doing alright. My best wishes go to those who were affected by the tsunami.
