Seriously give the game time?

[Gramul]

Sorry - I'm a realist.

Hardly. You're acting more like a sensationalist.
It's not like this is Square's only project and source of income. Besides, Yoshi has only been working on this game for a few months minus one if you take out a month for the quake.
Just keep calm and put things into perspective.

Everyone make room for the programming god and his ego.

And who is that?

...
Even XI had chocobos at NA launch, ya know?

We're not giving SE time. SE is taking their slow time. Business as usual for them.

Don't forget that the NA release was 1 year after it was released in Japan and the NA package included the Rise of the Zilard expansion pack.

Really? I figured it was you.

Nah. Even if I was a godly programmer I wouldnt be so blind as to ignore my customers. "Customer is always right!" Forget that bs, the customer really is right, where are the yellow birds? ; ;

@Aldora
Yea I didn't forget thats why I specified NA launch. The reality is, XI launched in NA when the game was decent. It was equipped with chocobos. I really could care less that XI was a fail till it came to our side of the globe.

People decided they wanted fixes to the quests and battle system first.
Where where you during the player polls?

I voted. How does that excuse that absence of yellow birds at launch? It doesn't!

If they are binded to companies and NOT to stables, they have an excuse :|| seriusly, if they were planned to just let us rent it to stables, right now they should be avaiable. If they aren't there's something bigger behind

Yet another post with yet again same things that have been repeated million times. Now that you made your big statement go back to your troll cave.

Thanks Cichy for dumbing down the discussion by name calling! Congratz you are really cool.

If you, or the OP, were truly realists then you would realize that it takes time to get this work done. Yeah, yeah, insert 5 years of development and 7 months of the game being live rhetoric here. Yes, we've heard it all. The REALITY of the matter is that the new Dev Team has been striving for only 4 months on the game. That includes the time it takes to redesign the very systems the game was built on, including the Battle System, the Crafting System, the in-game AND end game content, and even the job system. They are basically pumping out the game AS THEY RE-DESIGN IT. That is real.

Posts like this don't "remind people their asses are to the fire." Believe me, the shareholders or the Companies board are doing that. SE isn't making ANY money on this game currently. They know this. All posts like this do is give an undeserved FU to the current Dev team while the OP flames the small community that is sticking it out to see what happens.

I have to admit. I was going to argue with you about this in segmented quotes. I don't agree with you completely but I find this to be a very fair post. Honestly.
