I don't understand, he directly addressed one of your points in your article, but you ask why he typed 'umm'? Way to address the point...

There's a queue. But it seems to not be very capable of queuing up a lot of people. However, the game itself is a lot of fun, and I don't think you should automatically write off the hard work of the developers over the last 3 years in updating the original game, and developing this new version at the same time. It's…

Absolutely agree, it's almost been a week since official launch, and most people can't even get into the game. Ridiculous. However, unlike this article mentions, there HAS been official word from the devs, they have been very communicative. Go look at the dev posts on the forums. A few days ago, they said that that…

Final Fantasy XIV. Game is so much fun.

Just wanted to say I agree with you on all points. Society is so ass-backwards.

Oh wow, good to know, thanks! Still awesome even without the vocals :)

Speaking of the music, it's a shame Nael van Darnus' theme from Version 1.0 (the final boss of 1.0) will likely never be in the game again (though who knows). It was awesome and made the fight so epic.

I love this too! Really makes you feel as though you're in a huge crowd of people. Love all the little touches like this in the game.

You do not have to buy the game again, you can download the game client on the game's website.

Hey Mike, I absolutely agree. It's totally up to SE to make people realize this is a whole new game. However, the thing is, I think they've done that. They constantly release promotional videos, demos, and whatnot, and they don't ever seem to get any attention anywhere outside of the official forums.

Luke, while I appreciate the anticipated 'easy target' of this article title, you must realize that this is 99% the case when ANY mmo launches. Does it make it OK? I suppose not, but again, it just seems like a cheap shot knowing that this game is attempting a full-on relaunch (and a VERY impressive, unprecedented…

What does that have to do with anything? They didn't develop the game, they just published it.

I'm very glad you posted this, because this happens with pretty much EVERY MMO, I love Kotaku, but of course they are going to need some clicks over this. For the most part, people can play and log in no problem, but let's go and make a mountain of a molehill of course. I understand there may be some frustrations, but…

Definitely also my favorite overworld track of all time. It just sets the mood so right for the 'other world'.

Most are praising the game's soundtrack, not the actual game. Which I actually loved anyway.

Lol, Balrog.

LOL - I guess you have a point :)

I'm surprised it's so well liked by him - I mean, it's a good action movie (saw it at a pre-screening), but the main actor can't act, a lot of the dialogue is horrible, and there are some very cliche characters. However, when it comes to monsters vs. robots, it was pretty damn awesome, so it does the job I guess.

Or, you know, how it can be like for a woman ANYWHERE, not just E3.

I forgot how ugly those blurry N64 textures were!
