Positive Reactions to FFXIV:ARR

Your forgetting abou all the people who deleted the game and threw away the box , lol

Well it's a good thing they don't need their stinkin' boxes. They just need to download the new client from the e-mail SE will be sending out to existing accounts and login to the game! No need for the game DVD!

No problem for them. They don't need the box or the 1.x client. All what they need is their SE ID, password and the download link.

There's a group of about 10 people formed on facebook from my old LS in XI who are planning on playing ARR. I and one other are the only ones of the group who played 1.0.

That last quote in the OP was genius. Couldn't agree more. Not only am I impressed so much by ARR but keeping in mind their doing all this in under 3 years, while still working on 1.xx separately, while having to build their own game engine to boot, and fighting back against the reputation of a fail launch which used to always be considered a kiss of death for any MMO. While other companies who use a licensed engine fail to deliver working on one MMO in 5+ years.

Honestly who before Yoshi-P and 2.0 was announced would have ever believed this would even be conceivably possible? Never mind just months away from going live?

Regardless of how the launch goes, you just gotta give them props for the virtue of just attempting what any other sane person would declared utterly impossible before.

Among positive feedback on other sites, I also sometimes see people give a butt hurt comment like "Oh, this game again! This game sucked so bad at launch just let it dieee" or an ignorant one like "Didn't this game already fail?" This is often quickly replied by a handful of people commenting how the game improved immensely from launch and ARR is a completely new game promising new servers, new graphics, etc etc.

We should remember that non-forum people have very limited knowledge of ARR. I think it's up to the XIV community to continue letting people know what's up. The positive vibes are slowly building up outside the forums, let's all help nurture it!

I know of a few people who told me "FFXIV actually seems interesting" after seeing the alpha footage.
And that's without me prodding them to watch it...

Thank you OP, for posting something positive in the forums.

Just doing my part. I know many people still go here, in the off chance that there is new, interesting information, and become disappointed when they see nothing but complaint threads and flame wars. I still believe that a little good can go a long way ^^b

It's been tough sticking with and defending this game up to this point. I'm not going to get carried away and say that 2.0 will be the best thing ever, but I'm still very optimistic, and trying to get people to play.

If you read Siliconera, all the comments especially the one about Beta Phase, can't wait for PS3 Beta rofl.
