FFXI was boring.. These are the devs from FFXI...
If they don't bring anything new to the table, this will just be FFXI part 2...

We need to stop with the "knights of Camelot" feel and get back to what final fantasy is...
Not knights in shining armor..

We shall see.. I hope for the best, really I do.
It will sincerely break my heart if they fail again..

We need to not attack anyone who says something negative..
We need to find out what their reasons are (if warranted) and fix it..
Need to make a winner here people..
There's a difference between writing a negative preview and passing as a preview something that isn't one, focusing on some small nags without even making an effort to give the general picture (which is instead what previews are all about) and doing so showing objective incompetence on several points and a very nasty attitude that uses evident flamebaitish terminology to make things look a lot worse than they are.

There's no "attacking anyone who says something negative", there's criticizing a game journalist that did her job very, very badly, and did a disservice not just to the game and the development team (with which she's been disrespectful and borderline insulting) but first and foremost to her readers.
