For a game that has been doing exceptionally well at erasing its past mistakes... this early access release has done a lot of damage in erasing what they have done so well.

This game has a lot riding on it for Square Enix since they have openly admitted that FFXIV damaged the FF brand a lot. So with that in mind, you would want to make absolutely sure that when you release this game that it is in near perfect form.

You can say that this is an MMO and these types of issues are common when you look at the history of MMOs. However, this is their 2nd chance at the title, so I don't have as much sympathy as I did when I played version 1.0.

Least to say, for a company that wants to reclaim some of its former glory, this is not the way.
