** 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 [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 [http://www.gamespot.com/best-of-2010/dubious-honors/index.html?page=3# Worst Game Everyone Played for 2010]. It was also nominated for Most Disappointing Game, but lost to ''[[APB: All Points Bulletin]]''.
** 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.
