Hard to believe that it's been 4 long years since FFXIV was first announced. In that time I've had 2 more kids.The fact that Square Enix refused to give up on this game and chose to deliver to us the game the game we deserved is enough for me to take my hat off to them. Now we sit here just days away from being released back into a familiar world, but at the same time a totally different one with a new story to explore with new memories, and new adventures. No more phases, no more waiting, no more questions, no more speculation. We finally get our game back. If you're reading this, then most likely you were one of the many dedicated fans who also didn't give up on Square Enix who still believes in a company that has given us some of the most memorable games, and even memorable times with people we've grown so close to but have never met personally. Thank you Square Enix, and thank you to Yoshida and his team for being patient with us. We can be a pretty overly passionate community.
