You folks should check out the FFXIV ARR Facebook page sometime. The majority of the comments there are very positive about how this game is shaping up and most of them are looking forward to it.

Here is just one I "borrowed" that represents the majority pretty well:

Parker Dutcher I played this in 2010. Bought a new PC just to play this. Played until July 2011 quit when the switch was made from active combat to auto attacks because it was very buggy. Kept my eye on this. It is looking very good. I played 11 on ps2 I will be playing this on ps3. And it can take as long as it takes to get it perfect for launch. No need to rush things. We know what happened last time can't wait for more pics and videos!
