Square Enix’s latest update may have been a success after all – at least one of its “official players” was apparently so embarrassed at being exposed as having spent a month writing manga about her travels in the game, despite only having played a total of 10 minutes shortly after the game was released, that she suddenly launched into a 6 hour marathon session.
Mangaka Kayoko Saito drew 5 manga about the game and reported extensive travels (none of which, strangely, showed up in her play history), but her play history logged only 2 achievements over (at least) 4 minutes of playtime.
After the introduction of the history feature and the subsequent reduction of the “official players” to laughing stocks she suddenly took a renewed interest in the game, logging 14 achievements over a 6 hour play session – her first since the game launched over a month ago.
A long journey indeed.
The rest of the “official players” seem to have cashed their cheques already – they show no change, with most having given up on the game weeks ago.
lol square.
you’ve just wasted millions of dollars. you could have easily used this money for a PS3 Parasite Eve, Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy Versus XIII
damn just damn
I just love to see SE burn.
FFXIV lost 1 today. I quit deleted account and uninstalled game. I had enough. Char name was Rei Newyne had just bought a mining guild skill. Feel free to look my char up on lodestone. I grinded alot, but game simply wasn’t able to keep me interested enough to put up with things even for duration of trial extension.
