LOL Oh My! I have been gloating at a friend of mine saying that the release date will be late, there is no way FFXIV team will be ready on time (I played a lot during the pay-to-play phase before the game officially died and became "reborn") and it seems like they might of been better off waiting at this stage. During the old pay-to-play times the developers, in particular Yoshi-P had been making promises they simply couldn't keep within the outlined time-frames, always in their attempts to be on time they would fail miserably releasing half-completed content. I can only imagine that he has the right intentions, just not the means to carry it out, I do believe he must have a difficult job.

What saddens me about the experience (thankfully I am not in a position to play currently) is the concept of the importance of taking the time to get things right the first time. I am 100% certain after all this build up fans would of been much happier had FFXIV taken longer to be released if they could be assured that the finished product (and customer experience) would be better for it in the long run. This seems to be the same problem/issue that has arisen for this game time and time again =/

I do think it will be one of the most epic mmo's in time to come, I am just grateful that I don't have a pc to play on yet so I don't have to suffer like the rest of the fans at the moment. I hope we can all have patience and that the developers will work hard on getting the game RIGHT eventually... It would be such a waste if it flopped now, it is a beautiful creation! :3
