As per the link, FFXIV: A Realm Reborn has won the Gamescon Community Choice Award at the Destructoid gaming media site.

 

Woot! Congrats to FFXIV! Things are finally looking up. And it won by THREE times the votes of the runner-up!

I'm not sure how strong the competition was, I've never even heard of the runner up before. Then again me not hearing of things happens a lot... like Yssen's 1996 League of Extraordinary Gentlemen last night.

Last of Us is a title from Naughty Dog, the makers or the original 3 Crash Bandicoots, Jak and Daxter, and Uncharted (of which the second holds one of the highest metacritic scores of all time and the most game of the year awards ever received). Basically it's a massive flagship game for the PS3. So FFXIV getting this, especially from Destructoid's community which seems to hate Square-Enix and most JRPG's in general, is no small feat.

 

 

As for the news, I'm glad to see all of Square-Enix's efforts and lost profits paying off with some form of respect and still enjoying the hype it's building up to for relaunch. I have high hopes for this and with our new producer and team's history I expect a lot from them.

Ewwww single player games... no wonder I haven't heard of it. Looks like... zombie apocalypse without the zombies. Hhhmmm, does remind me I need to find a game for when the servers go down in like a month.
