Line 3:
** From the few details leaked about the Garlean Empire, among them is confirmed their army's weapon-of-choice: '''[[Final Fantasy VIII|Gunblades]]'''.
** And now you can fight Ifrit for some pretty sweet gear.
** Nobuo Uematsu scores an entire ''[[
* [[Broken Base]]:
** As one might expect from a ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' game, the base is already shattered. You have the outspoken 'we're loving it' mob who are probably ignoring issues. In addition, there's the optimistic 'I'm having fun and waiting for more' group, who are willing to overlook some things and hope others are fixed soon. Then there's the 'I really want this to work, but it isn't' group, who see some faint promise in the game, but don't have a lot of faith that the developers will fix the large problems anytime soon. Lastly, there's the 'I dislike it, therefore no one can like it' group.
Line 11:
** Inverted! [[Square Enix]], anticipating a bit of controversy included, along with the reviewer access codes they handed out to critics, what they described as a polite request to 'please wait three to four weeks' before posting reviews of the game, so they could fix up some issues.
** The Japanese playerbase politely declined, giving it an average of 38% on review sites such as Amazon.co.jp.
** GameSpot also decided to ignore the developers' request with a [https://web.archive.org/web/20110605143415/http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/finalfantasy14/review.html 4.0] review, including a derisive video review wherein the reviewer flat out says 'do not buy this game' and 'updates may address a multitude of flaws, but "fun" is not a feature that can be added with a simple patch.' Other reviews from IGN and Game Trailers are also negative, but are a bit more optimistic about future potential.
** And then GameSpot cranks this [[Up to Eleven]] by awarding the game the dubious honor of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130328002147/http://www.gamespot.com/best-of-2010/dubious-honors/index.html?page=3
** Put less charitably, this "polite request" shows that even before release they were well aware that the game would, in its current state, receive poor reviews... yet they still [[Obvious Beta|went ahead with the release anyway]], rather than taking the time to produce something they could have more confidence in.

Line 20:
* [[Les Yay]]: The above mentioned <s>prostitutes</s> ''entertainers'' in Ul'dah don't mind offering their services to female player characters. Also, almost all of said performers happen to be [[Catgirl|Miqo'te]].
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "4.0. ''Deal with it''."
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: While creating your character, the game insists on sampling the voice chosen with a hearty [[Harvey Birdman, Attorney

** This comes with being a MMO.
Line 27:
** Arguably everyone who posts on any public forum that he is still playing the game gets hit with this at one point or another.
** Playing as a paladin. Paladins have excellent defense but not much else (at least until they are buffed in future patches,) meaning that their primary contribution to harder battles is their ability to tank hits and heal. Warriors, who combine good defense with the ability to clear dungeons by simply sneezing, are the preferred [[Prestige Class]] by most veterans, and as such are typically yelled for in town than [[PL Ds]].

** Some beta testers canceled their pre-orders due to perceived problems, see [[Broken Base]] above.
** The open beta didn't launch in due time, a "critical bug" having appeared. Nerd rage ensues.
