All these negative threads about FFXIV about not getting awards, slow content rollout, and etc are just nonsense. The development team went through Covid-19 and an serious personal illness and still won awards & put out award-winning content for TWO games! Yoshi-P and his development team have already proven themselves. FFXIV is in the Guinness Books of World Records, won many awards (including in 2023), and still developing world-class games.

I read these threads from completely jealous people that are just nit-picking at anything about FFXIV. Get over it. FFXIV is the #1 MMO and maybe for all-time. WOW will never be FFXIV nor any other game (period).

FFXIV won awards in 2023,

DICE Awards (Online Game of the Year)
Famitsu / Dengeki (FAMITSU DENGEKI GAME AWARDS 2022: Best Online Game)
BAFTA (Evolving Game)

Just for the record and just my personal opinion, these same jealous people are the same ones making illegal/forbidden mods, trying to deface the FFXIV universe, and create unfounded rumors.

Yoshi-P and his development team have patience like a Saint, especially after the TOP Ultimate fiasco and unfounded complaints/jealousy.
