I assume Scragg/Jaerik already knew, but it seems nobody else did.

Introducing FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Sites (10/14/2010)
The following are a handful of the fan-made, fan-driven sites featuring FINAL FANTASY XIV:

- FFXIV Archives
Features a comprehensive guide for Disciples of the Hand.

- FFXIV Origin
Includes a detailed manual on how to better utilize retainers.

- FFXIV Yellow Gremlin
Contains useful information items, recipes, bazaars, and more!

- FFXIV Pro
Contains useful information items, recipes, bazaars, and more!

* Players must visit these sites at their own risk. Square Enix does not regulate the content of the aforementioned sites and will not be responsible for any damage or losses resulting from their viewing.

So what does this mean for FFXIVPro? What do you guys think about SE giving out fansite status like candy? Did the redbars even know? =O No they didn't.

Well, nice of SE to tell you guys. XD

Edit: What do you guys think this means for the site? I'm curious.

Not much. We don't intend to change anything for now.

I've been pretty critical of XIV so far, but I also like to think I've been extremely fair, giving credit where it's due.

I've privately taken a lot of flak from SE fans for so much as re-posting translations of negative reviews already out there, but I don't think it would benefit any party involved -- including SE -- to somehow sanitize or censor public sentiment for the sake of being more palatable.

It's actually rather hard to find anything on FFXIAH from FFXIVPro itself..

Yeah, I was just saying about being eaten alive if you say anything negative about the game whilst actually playing.

Well, they did Cease and Desist Maiev over at ffxivblog.com for re-posting a video of beta gameplay.

It does mean that they're watching, and we have to be careful not to break any copyright or similar no-no's.
