Yeah it had to have been clear to TPTB at SE that FFXIV would not have been ready by September 2010. Release dates for games are pushed back all the time and I see an FF as no different. At least SE acknowledged that...kind of.

Not sure if a team restructure was needed. In any case here we are six months later and still playing. I'm enjoying the game and look forward to the planned content.

That's the beauty of MMO's, they evolve and grow, and become apart of your life. Not in the sense they take over (time management) but that you start to feel the world is real..Eorzea will be there by years end.
