I can understand that. I am not a big FF fan I played a few and they were ok. What interested me was what I did find entertaining in FF as an mmo. I am first and foremost an mmo player I was intrigued with FFXI but only played a few months but it was fun enough for me to explore FFXIV in beta and I enjoyed it. I have a feeling there are a lot of others who are here more for the mmo and less for FF and were surprised by the beta for FFXIV. SE is in danger of losing a lot of these players. Not all of us are as committed to the FF franchise as some of the players.

I can hear some responses saying "good leave then, give me your stuff, make room for a FF fan" however I think FFXIV will need a lot of players not only FF fans to pay the bills. Having FFXIV 1.0 fail after years of development, then more years of development to fix 1.0, and the loss of 134 million reported early this year, SE needs all of us and our money. They need FFXIV to be a cross over hit, it has that potential, but with each day of a screwed up launch more are "done". I think the main reason so many are mad is SE already has our money. If this was free to play or we were not billed yet then we would have no reason to complain. However, I purchased the pre-order collector's Edition directly from SE and they have had my money for over two months and I have not gotten nearly the access I should have from them. This is not just complaining it is business.
