FFXIV is not a failure, never was.

No, they admit it is still in development and not ready for release. What kind of name is Spuffin?

Last I checked, the game is still on shelves in stores, every website out there says it is released. Sorry, we are not "still in development", the game was released to market 9/22/10.

Yes you can. You can judge it after they start billing you

I don't know about you, but the two boxes I purchased to play cost me a total of $150 + tax. Just because they haven't started the recurring monthly payments doesn't mean the game is "free" by any means. So, I have just as much reason as anybody else who spent money to play a game that was released to market on 9/22/10 to judge it. If people's harsh opinions about a game they played offend you, well, that is your problem.

If I recall, at launch there were about, what, 500k ish players world wide. Now 6 months later we are down to something like 1/10 of that.. At this point it doesn't matter how much time and money SE has to throw at this game, they need to make those changes rather quickly if they want any hope of earning a good portion of that investment back.

If it's ready for a box its ready for a review. I agree with u.

Yea there's no denying that. It's like saying don't review a movie until you see the uncut edition... When can you review a product then? The day it's release and there is no excuse for it. SE truly messed up when managing this MMO and everyone should have known about it day 1.

However, I wouldn't say the game failed(as in no hope) but it is a damn good looking disaster.

FF14 is seen as a failure because of its botched launch and the ousting of Tanaka. There's still hope for the game because there isn't any competition from any console MMOs. That said, the game has failed on PC. By the time the proposed changes have taken place, the game will have to compete with GW2, Tera and possibly SWTOR.
