Hands down the worse and utter badly handled game release i have witnessed !

[CrazyCanukk]

The website navigation is a complete mess...

the account system is far from any definition of intuitive as you can get. I cannot believe anyone with an education has their name attached to this mess. Not 1 but 4 places a person need to login to get various pieces of information..

1)SE account page
2) account management page
3) FFxiv page
4) and the Mog station....

This is more akin to something i expect from a highschool webdesign class....1st year!

not only That but halting sales of digital downloads, character creations and locking down servers right at the launch when your trying to convince people you didn't screw up a game for the the 2nd time because you played it cheap and decided to go with as few servers at launch as possible..

AND

Then sending out these codes to register for this and then ..ohh wait 3 days after the game has apparently officially launched lets lock people out of their accounts and let them go on a Goddamn waldo hunt for the friggin reason! I mean W in the serious F!

If it wasn't for the amazing community i would have never known why my account was locked or where to look for this new key i was supposed to enter..

Hats off to Square Enix and their staff for going for gold on the totally botched release. If F****g up a game release was a Olympic sport you would have the Gold, silver and bronze....I mean this one is for the history books. You just succeeded in making EA and SimCity 4 release look almost flawless.

Hats off to the community for figuring it out and doing SE's job for them ..
