Actually many outlets covered the release of the ARR teaser on the day it released. I recall Gamespy specifically. Since then some sites have even been keeping up with other news, such as the discontinued achievements post on the Lodestone.

I have a subsection of news.google.com for the keyword 'FFXIV', and I find this coverage through that.

Examples

Escapist Magazine covers trailer

MTV covers trailer

Gamespy covers discontinued content announcement (I don't think they would've mentioned it, but the trailer got them interested in FFXIV again it seems)

The Verge covers gameplay announcement (this was after they covered the trailer and discontinued stuff)

Siliconera covers gameplay announcement (btw, it sounds like FFXIV: ARR is the headliner for Square-Enix at Gamescom, so it's finally getting the spotlight.)
