Square has not exactly done very well with Final Fantasy XIV. The game was basically a mess on release and they acknowledged the game was in quite a state a few weeks ago by offering an apology and more free time. They also recently revealed they are working on major patches to be released this month and next month to try and salvage the situation.
To keep gamers persevering with the game, today they announced another free thirty days of play time. The first major update is scheduled now for 25 November and a roadmap of updates has been posted on the official site.
