    New page for Retail websites such as Amazon? (Past reviews)

    With all the latest hype for FFXIV: ARR, I did a little looking around online at some sites that are currently selling the product. Doing this i happened to see the reviews that are still the top rated reviews back from 2010. reviews such as:

    94/108 people found this review helpful
    2/5
    "Please don't waste your money ... October 2, 2010
    -but the reality of the game is that it doesn't even give you the basic information you need to get started.
    -there is no community actually IN game. Hours of play time and I saw someone speak maybe twice, which was unreal
    "


    61/69 people found this review helpful
    3/5
    "Needs work ... September 29, 2010
    Not very user friendly
    Clunky interface
    Game just feels incomplete
    Interface lag
    lack of things to do
    "

    And countless others

    FFXIV's Amazons stats are as follows:
    115 - 4 & 5 star ratings
    267 - 3, 2, & 1 star ratings
    between collectors + standard editions

    Amazon's Page

    I truly believe new players will check this sites to know if this game is even worth trying, they will see these reviews, even though with ARR 95% of these issuses will be resloved, they will still be turned off and never try it. I know people already have these bad tastes, but SE really need everything going for them, not 2, going on 3 year old reviews that are extremely out of date.



    I hope this is something IGN and other top game sites will also consider when FFXIV gets it relaunch. A new review, for a new game.
