Cross server LFG is fantastic, I just wish there was a karma system attached with it so that dicks will be shoved to the last place in line. Sufficiently low karma means that it will take you hours to find a place for anything, even if you're running a healer/tank/flavor-of-the-month.
Yeah LFG is pretty awesome. No more waiting around to do stuff!
Just got my letter 4:30am EST. It's party time bitches.
Why is this game starting to look apealing to me after I scoffed it totally off on its first release... (must resist!)
It really is a completely different game from 1.0, gameplay mechanics wise. Like if you were able to test both out at the same time, it's night and day. About the only thing that an unsuspecting player would see the same, is just the games theme that has stayed static. It's pretty damn impressive for a software development company to pump out a product like this so quickly, leaves other developers wanting.
I started playing late in the game, June of last year and it was pretty good. Nothing like the terrible stories I heard when it was first released. Now taking the game down completely and revamping it will make it even more enjoyable. With all the hard work they put into this it looks like we will have a great game to play for a good number of years going forward.
Sorry that took 50 years for me to find, but here's the quote and the link to the original article for the doubters.

For PS3 marketing plan for example aside from package there are download market and thinking there are other approaches for package such as PS3 exclusive but how will you market the PS3 version?
Y: With both PS3 and PC for the package we will have the ARR FFXIV out. Of course we are thinking about ARR FFXIV specials for early reservations or collectors edition but for those with current collectors edition it will be possible to upgrade to ARR collectors edition though online update. We are currenting making adjustments.
