About ARR release.

[Lirion]

Just saw something on my S-E account, my end date for my character is set to Mar. 31, 2013.

I would appreciate to die distracting myself on my favorite game, when the world comes to a real end on the 21st of December . . .










So please grant me access of the alpha build, I'm begging you. *_*

SE needs to be careful. First people payed for a game and placed trust in them. It was a mess (even if it got much better towards the end). So it was back to the drawing board.

Those of us who purchased the LE, and stuck through paid subscriptions, want to be able to play the game we invested in. I highly doubt they will have people waiting to January. We already lost people to GW2 in our linkshell that are going to play rift as well because of the possible wait.

Giving us a month to make up for the additional months we have to wait is nothing big. People get a month when they purchase the new version of the game.

They need to move current players into the beta fast. Since essentially we have beta tested for 2 years

I think and hope that players who want to play Final Fantasy do not have a problem with other MMORPGs

AND FFXIV was no beta test. Some of us really enjoyed the game.

I don't think it matters how long it takes, many if not all of us would still play it when it eventually releases. We all say players might lose interest or move on to other games but all it will take is another epic trailer to generate interest again. I think Square know this, they really don't give a damn how long they make us wait.

Those that want ARR to be release on January ~ February. Please think back what happen to the current FFXIV launched, and why Yoshi says it will be delayed, is best to wait until YoshiP says the go for the launch of ARR.

[kazaran]

Many of us will play but the interest base has plummeted. I enjoyed XIV as it progressed, others were not so impressed and loyal.

Hopefully they will return from Free to play games (Gw2 ect) or other large MMo's.

The one thing SE has for them is story. Which to me has always surpassed other mmo's.

I feel ARR will change other gamers minds, if they are at this point willing to give it a chance. Media will play a roll in hat.

[Akira_Tenshi]

It's funny though because I doubt any of us would really care if ARR released with a few issues it would still be so much better than 1.0. The media however is a different story, especially since everyone just loves to hate on FF, this game still wont ever see scores of 9 or 10, no matter how good it is.

Considering the only reason alot of the playerbase still played was to stick it out and make character progression until 2.0 came out, there will probably be a very small amount of people that just don't come back because the wait is too long. The only people who would not atleast log in to check out a realm reborn will be the ones who do not have alot of time invested in the game already.

March/April release would be ok. Anything past May is just ridiculous - too long of a wait. They should have kept the 1.0 servers live longer if they were going to wait that long.
