For Anyone Upset over the Server Delays....Please Read

[YeshuM]

Thank you Nenin, I saw they are working on the issue so I am satisfied in the sense that I actually know what is going on now "Officially" But the people telling everyone else to "grow up" are being ignorant. I love Final Fantasy as much as the next fan but I can see the issues for what they are and if people are paying than you can't sugar coat things and tell people to get over it. These threads are needed, if we weren't able to voice our concerns than nothing would change. If SE could not see what their mistakes are doing in some form, than no one would be compensated. I'm glad they are considering extending the free period for a week...if everyone listened to the people saying "Grow up, be patient, stop spamming the forums" than I highly doubt they would have even considered it.

One thing I don't care who you know or what you do, being an IT manager and getting the hardware, then testing are entirely different.
SE should have used pre-orders and 1.0 accounts as a baseline period.
HOWEVER! I also know for a fact it's more than just setting up new servers a) it can take a week to get the hardware, then getting everything setup in an 8 hour work day, then installing the software, networking the server to the other servers and testing it for stability does take quite a bit of time
the main problem with all of this is: LACK OF COMMUNICATION
We get a response from SE 8-36 hours after the problem occurred Some factors aren't adding up: no community representative to talk to us and deliver news faster from the dev's and minimal responses from the dev's

The whole situation is somewhat sad I think. I mean the game itself is pretty nice to play and even fun at some times. A bit simple and straight, but that does not have to be something bad.

However, SE already messed up this game once, thus the second attempt should be flawless, else you lose a lot of trust and, well people. Even now players tell others who might be interested to back away from the game, what is a lost sale. And when even the press starts writing about it, it usually leads to even less new costumers.

Real pitty, the game had quite a lot of potential. Maybe it still has, but it will need more than some teary excuse from some asian man to manage that.

The funny thing is, it's not the japanese part of the team that fucked up. They had incorrect sales and pre order figures from the NA side of SE. They already said as much in one of the post.

Never the less a fuck up is a fuck up. No matter which side of the pacific is on.
