Good words from YoshiFollow

You can read the whole thing at the link below. The following is what I found especially interesting.


"Today marks the beginning of official service for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. Our goal is to continue service for at least ten years and of course aiming beyond that─with a host of updates and large-scale expansions along the way, never forgetting the dedication of our fans is what brought us this far. Furthermore, we will not let the game be held back by preconceived notions of what an MMORPG should be. Instead, we will challenge ourselves to innovate, providing our players with a game truly befitting the FINAL FANTASY title.

Again, the release is only our first step, and there's still so much we would like to do. With plenty of plans well underway, the story we're working on is sure to amaze you. Having achieved the impossible with the release of A Realm Reborn, we look forward to continue doing the impossible together with our fans, creating an online experience we can all be proud to be part of."

Thanks for the link!

Despite the serious server capacity issues right now I remain very optimistic because the core game is now looking really REALLY fun to play, and I can actually see myself playing this for years to come!

Yes it's annoying to rush home and play the "can I actually log in"-lottery, but UNLIKE 1.0 that left me shrieking in frustration at a UI that felt designed by a sadistic Asian version of Franz Kafka (amongst other serious issues), when I do get in the game I'm fascinated/delighted/excited/happy to be playing and that is what fuels my optimism.

10 years seems too long. I will want a new MMO by then. I like the rest of this news.

Kind of sad. You would think that positive news like that would get a better response...
