Yoshi-P, The new "Letter from the Producer" and the new Dev. Team.

[Abraxai]

I'd just like to offer a few words to the Development team of FFXIV.

I find their dedication to this game even in such difficult and traumatizing times to be beautiful, many of their staff have family affected by the tragedies, as well as some of their staff leaving entirely, yet they're still working consistently and solidly on the game.

We finally have a name for Companies! "Grand Companies of Eorzea".. Sounds glorious.

In short, I admire the teams efforts and personally thank the good souls still at SE-HQ working on the game, I'd also like to offer my condolences again to any of the team or their families who were affected by the disaster. As well, of course, to the many tens of thousands still being affected regularly.

I look forward to exploring this new content as I have with all of the patches since 1.15a.

Thank you.

It looks like things may be starting to look up.. Devastating as it is, and it's a mortifying situation to even read and watch, but at least it's starting ot look like there's going to be no further casualties.

Not so sure about no further casualties, they need to get that reactor cooled and under control, the radiation leaks are starting to become a major threat.

[Galamantyl]

The japanese will be mutated by the radiation, and suddenly become taller and stronger than our NBA players.

(Sorry, I'm not trying to make light of the situation. I truly wish Japan well and hope things get better)

[Vaymathias]

At least we know someone there will be recording Godzilla when he shows up.

[Ilethius]

I think it was 'sin' who created the earthquake and tsunami!

[Eekiki]

I blame Lavos.

[Issachar]

I also blame Lavos. Don't let a kid do a man's job and we wouldn't be in this position.
