The Offical thank you thread to the Dev. team and Naoki Yoshida -DO NOT DARE TROLL >(

"The fact that we had to implement these restrictions is a direct result of my inaccurate sales and login estimates, and as producer, I must accept complete responsibility for this misstep. Each and every player who has been affected has my deepest apologies." - Yoshi P, in his latest letter explaining the issues with the data servers and login restrictions.

Wow. I have played tons of MMO's and seen lots of devs respond to problems in many different ways. I've seen them ignore problems completely or say they aren't problems. I've seen them blame other members of the team or even go as far as to blame the players. And many will just blame circumstances. To see a dev take the blame themselves, accept it, and apologize and promise to fix it is new. I'm very glad to see this and am really looking forward to playing his game more.

Thank you Yoshi P. FFXIV is a Final Fantasy fans dream. I love everything you've done with it. I love how it reminds me so much of the older games (1-6 and 9) The feel of the story and the characters and the bits of humor are done perfectly. The gameplay is fun and exciting and the world is large and beautiful... I personally can't wait for the expansions and hope that you follow the trend FFXIV had and add lots of classes and jobs to it in the future.

Thankyou Square Enix Devs , When I can actually get into the game (due to servers being full when not US Peak time) the storyline captivates me and is brilliant as a former 1.0 player it is a huge improvement. My question is this , why wasn't it like this 3 years ago ?

I am enjoying it and the storyline is brilliant.

Now go and make it so I can actually login and play .

Thanks for all of your hard work. The game now has a solid foundation and I look forward to watching the game and story evolve and grow in the years to come. Well done

I absolutely love what they did with the game
Looks amazing, and will be supporting it forever. Haha

Really loving the game so far. Thanks for putting so much effort into a game that you could have just left to die and swept under the rug. My heart goes out to the server teams, I know you guys and girls are doing everything you can and all you're seeing is negativity from the community, know that its born more out of frustration and not hate for the product itself (which is stellar).

I never played V 1.0 but Im really enjoying ARR. The Dev Team did a great job with it from what all I can tell.

[HoroBoro]

Yes - the game is very fun - thanks for all the hard work

The boss at the login screen is hard to beat but once you pass it, game is excellent
Didn't have much issues over the past 2 days

i again would like to extend my deep gratitude to the team for rebuilding this game for us, instead of just fixing what you had and being done with it, you went above and beyond to fully rehaul the basic key elements of the game to support greater features than 1.0 could ever have handled.

Your dedication shows in the quality of play, and in the sleepless nights you've put in at the office to make it happen so quickly. I'm honestly surprised you aren't in a coma by now, Yoshida san.

Whilst there's unfortunately no time to rest, i hope you find yourself a few quiet hours to refresh and recharge, our game would be very different without it's honoured director.

I'll drink a pint in your honour sir, Thank you.
