I'm actually getting interrested in this game again, because it did something that few online games did before. After release, it was completely UNDERWHELMING. It was full of bugs, the gameplay wasn't exactly great and people felt that they were overpaying for a subpar game, leaving it in masses.
Square-Enix then decided to pull the plug on the game, and just start redevelloping it for 6 months. I kid you not. So one could say that FFXIV had a little under a year of open beta. They're releasing it again at the end of this month, and I'm considering getting it for my PS3 and just derp around a bit. I've played every Final Fantasy between 3 and 13 so I'm kind of curious.

Did anyone play it before they pulled the plug? Or is anyone planning to play it?
