On December 2012, the final day for shutdown arrived in order to fix the game. A final 1.0 update was released on November 2012, showing a red meteor getting closer every day, hinting the conclusion to the game's shutdown. Naoki Yoshida who also goes by the nickname of Yoshi-P was later given leadership as director and producer of Final Fantasy XIV to rework on the game by scratch. The Square Enix company officially apologized for the damage Final Fantasy XIV has caused and will be replacing a huge amount of development teams.
GameSpot rated the game 4/10, GameTrailers rated it 4.2/10, GameSpy rated it 2/5, IGN rated it 5.5/10, and Cheat Code Central rated it 4.2/5. Complaints included, but were not limited to, multiple lag and connection issues, dull and repetitive grinding just for leveling your first class, a "fatigue" system which halted players trying to level their characters by grinding heavily, a confusing and inflated crafting system, no way to even buy gear outside of crafters and copy/pasted environments padded out to try and make the game seem big. During the release of Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, the game critically receive very heavy criticism and very low scores, damaging the Final Fantasy franchise and the Square Enix company itself.
