Final Fantasy XIV Online, when it was launched, received widespread negative criticism regarding the game's quality and Square Enix was under heavy fire. The original release received feedback such as the game is unfinished if not totally unplayable, received many awards like "The Most Disappointing Game of the Year" and "Worst Sequel". This led to official apologies by Square Enix admitting that the game was of poor quality and offered free trial extensions and also asked for patience. Square Enix's CEO, Yoichi Wada, also admitted that Final Fantasy XIV has greatly damaged the "Final Fantasy" brand as a result of the game's shortcomings.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

I hope it ends up being free to play in the future, cause I already had my free trial, and I wanna play more, but I aint paying 15 bucks a month, maybe 5 bucks a month, but no more.
I really want to play this game but I know I have so little spare time to play it that I cant justify paying monthly for it :(
I hope it continues to do well so if I ever do get the chance to play it, by then it will be an even more awesome experience!
This game takes TONS of time to play. Gold is not easy to get. Don't let them tell you other wise.
Such a great quality MMO, well worth the sub imo.
I played FF11 for years. 14 ARR is excellent. Main Quest line compete, working on lvl 90 Dragoon gear and have 3 more jobs almost Max lvl.
