Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the next SimCity?

4.5
The recently "launched" Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has the makings to be a very stellar game, too bad only those who preordered and the press can see. The much mocked SimCity launch earlier this year was a hot topic among gamers, the current handling of A Realm Reborn is very much the same situation. Square Enix has decided it best to completely suspend digital sales of the game while they alleviate connection issues. This at face value sounds like a obvious way to proceed forward but at over a week into suspended sales and one seemingly failed network stability related patch later, they have now suspended character creation on every single server.

Based on their current record from launch to now, do not expect to be playing A Realm Reborn any time soon.

What are your views on the subject? Has Square Enix done everything they can to assist both customers and possible customers or have they left them out in the cold?

SimCity games are always fun time killers if you have nothing else to do

It was outdated and old until they preformed a complete overhaul of the game, hence "A real reborn". The original Final Fantasy XIV was completely awful though
