I think the issue here that Jiro has illustrated is that the long delays and lack of info has killed the initial excitement for the game, even worse has been watching SE falter since the game's announcement with a trilogy no one really asked for, an MMO that was a disaster that could have been completely avoided had SE been a bit more patient and actually taken in some feedback, and the disappearance of other projects. Granted, they are now starting to make a comeback with ARR and Bravery Default but let's face it, this game is starting to lose people, SE's handling of their franchise has hurt consumer confidence that they can deliver a Triple A title. I think we'll all be more excited and happy once SE puts a date on this thing and I don't mean "summer of 2015 or second quarter of our financial report" I'm talking about an honest to goodness mark your calendars cause it's coming October 5th, 2015 type of date.

Hell, I probably wouldn't be alone if I said I am still going to wait for it even after it gets released cause I'm not interested in a day one purchase anymore. This long in development is never good and I'm personally waiting for the other shoe to drop on this game. Se should have never announced this game until they were further along but I also understand that part of the delay is due to XIV. Still, I feel we can all agree that SE's handling of this property's announcement has been nothing but disastrous .
