Gratification to Matsui

Well I've had my share of rants, complaints, disappointments, anger, concerns of being an unhappy fan.

But my point of view has now been changed after seeing so many good things brought back to life and although the game is still constantly being revised in his vision.

I'd like to personally say thank you Matsui and the rest of the DEV TEAM for giving us attention. Thank you Community reps for responding when you can to all of us.

I once said "Prove us through updates that you are listening to us and show us your words rather than tell us promises that you can't keep."

The past 2 updates for July, August has shown a lot of work and these new items from Wildskeeper Reives, Delve, Skirmish (coming soon), content such as Mog Garden, Monstrosity, new maps, Quests, AF for Geo & Run being constantly implemented has shown me a reason to be grateful and thankful.

So I just wanted to say I appreciate what you are doing. Keep up the good work because each update you implement further tells us more about how our concerns are being addressed.

I'm going to add in the Mog Garden features:

Getting pop items for sky, sea, and the past are what I've gotten so far. I've heard that some people are getting ZNM pops as well.

I GREW AN EARTH ELEMENTAL! It gave me it's scroll! That's amazing!

I'm really looking forward to see what they do next, (and what they add, be it new weapons, spells, abilities, traits, etc...)

I'm looking foward to the new Skirmish and AF!!!

That doesn't excuse the recent Vana'fest TV 2013 exlusive event to JP audiences, that we weren't even notified about...

Kinda hurt by that, but more updates to Monstrosity might make us feel better.

Yeah but that's common with everything in the world. Look at IPhone. Asia didnt get it till way later after USA. Since FFXI was made in Japan, i don't see it being easy for them to hold events outside of the country. Cost of advertisements, Ect.

We have community reps, at Vanafest we get a basic 'wrap-up' of what was talked about from these reps, thus, we are relayed the information. In this case, we were not told of the event, we have no reps giving us the 'low down' or anything of the sort, we simply have no information what so ever. Instead, we had to find it on Youtube, where are Reps posting this information on the forums? No where? Oh look, still no information. SE is a horrible company when it comes to other countries, I mean we miss out on every revised version of their games it seems, like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy Internationals, and now, on their MMO they can not even tell us what they are adding while they tell their JP players.

People wonder why some people are racist against JP players in game, make up things like the JP button, or think SE tells them things and not us, while some of it like the JP button is a joke, other things like them being told things we aren't, that's not really false. We see it here, so far as I know they were told about /fuming in VW before we were, and I believe they have been told some effects of things like Skill Up Foods and such while we weren't. I cant say for sure, but I know they are told some things which were never told about, so really when you think about it, maybe it makes sense why some people hate JP players, why some people think only their posts matter while ours are ignored. I mean after all, its like were the ignored kid in the family, sure, they do what seems needed for us to stay content tell us some things, but the JP players are the spoiled kid who gets all of the true attention.

I agree with everything you said Demon except I don't hate jp players. I don't actually know anyone who does. The hate seems to come from the other side. Most NAs, in the years I've played, on Valefor/Kujata servers try to use things like auto-translate and take (positive) advantage of the international community.

I know some who do, some who don't, I personally have no problem with anyone from any country before getting to know them, I hate the language barrier, and might get annoyed at having to deal with it, but I can not say I truly am annoyed at the person who is being blocked by the same issue with me.

At the same time, I hate many JP companies who treat other countries like crap by compare, such as how SE often seems in cases such as these, or companies like Sega, who with Phantasy Star Universe left the non-JP servers about 6 months to a year behind in content at all times. Don't get me wrong, some other companies are cool, I mean like Level 5, they released Rogue Galaxy with its 'international' content in the US while rereleasing it in Japan, which was awesome, no one got excluded.

But in either case, the point is, I don't just look at people based on country, but when you see things like this sometimes, if you know people who are like that, it can somewhat help to see their point. I do not hate JP players, but at the same time, can I feel as though they are treated better than I am? Sure, just like in my previous example, just because your not the kid who gets all of the attention and is spoiled all of the time, but rather ignored, it does not mean you hate your brother/sister. In the end, I was just trying to say with that comment in particular that its times like these that I can somewhat understand where those kind of people are coming from more often than not, because its times like these we really do feel ignored. To tell JP players about new things coming up and such but say nothing to us, to leave us clueless that the event even transpired in the first place, that is very, very wrong...

Welcome to the Forums... Where a positive post can turn negative before the post is posted.

Now for our next game, we'll be using everyone! Scenes from a hat!
First topic:
Uses for your mini-crab in the Mog Garden.


*steps up*

WE CAN BUY A SECOND ONE!?!?! Inviting a friend to have a crab race!

I love all of my JP LS friends and would do anything for them. They have been most awesome to me. Japan is also a beautiful place. If I could live there I would in a heartbeat. It was the best vacation of my life.

No, I'm not, I'm just tired of people hijacking the 1% of threads that are "good job," and "keep up the good work," and seeing them turn negative when the other 99% of threads are people upset with something. Now that I think of it, it would probably be more like 5% positive, 30% here's an idea, and 65% negative comment threads if everyone wasn't so bitter.

Thanks a lot for the Vanafest 2013, that was great, especially the english part.

I'm all for commending someone on a good job if that's how someone feels, however this is a public forum. To expect everyone to have the same view and opinion is ridiculous. I can see derailing a thread to another topic, but creating any topic on a public forum, you're bound to have someone disagree with you.

If you want to praise the developers and producer without comments, write a letter to them or make an article or video that can't be commented on. If you post something publicly, someone is going to comment on it. Whether you agree with it or not. The point here is to have discussions and provide feedback. Not to provide a dichotomy between agree with me threads and not. Not flaming anyone, but providing some grounding with an outside perspective.

You can hate it, but to be honest--

Commending him on a job well done when an absurdly large portion of the community doesn't feel that way is begging for us to reply with our thoughts.

At least now, when SE reads your OP, maybe they'll actually read some of the dissent, since they stay away from so many topics clearly labeled as such.

Whether they're doing a good job or not, they're doing so much of it without our feedback and contrary to what we've come to expect (as the value of gear). Games can change, but changing a fundamental aspect is stupid. It's like saying "Ok, were taking out the board in monopoly, and putting in cards, but it's still Monopoly".

Have you ever wondered why they don't publicly poll us? Especially in-game, since not everyone visits forums? I don't.

I think the reps just have their hands full at the moment. From what I see it's less than a handful of people translating for three different forums.

They really should do some polls like they did for early xiv. It would at least give them some insight to how a majority of the players feel rather than just listening to the people that actually log onto the forums.

It's got to be easier to get information from than the usual "tell us how you feel about ____ " threads.

After seeing the topic title, I'm a bit disappointed that this isn't a thread about a crazy international plan to hire him a hooker for his birthday.

I agree. I just think that currently, they can hide behind the banners of "only a small portion participate on forums", and "content players have no reason to complain". So poll us, right in the PoL viewer. Make the reward some vanity thing, or something useful to leveling or transportation (though both are easy). Hell, make the reward a free mule slot and people would participate.

Ask us what we really think about the game, because what I see here is a bunch of people talking about discontent among their friends, because atm most players are doing 3 things. They're trying to kill Tojil, waiting to kill Tojil, or killing Tojil.

Even if they did poll us, I think a big part of the problem is the size of the current team. It's obvious that they don't have the manpower that they should have. As a supporter of both xi and xiv, it makes me sad. Yes, xi is a very old game, but it deserves a hell of a lot more than what it's receiving in terms of funding and manpower.

Despite its age, I still believe this game has way more potential than what it's given credit for.

I only said thank you for the last 2 updates O_o. What does Vanafest 2013 complaints have anything to do with thanking him, the DEV Team and reps doing a good job for those updates?

Let me put that in perspective.

"I only said thank you for things [they've recently done], what does their recent exclusion of a major share of their players have to do with thanking them."

Because, you are forever the optimist, or a troll. You're trying to hard to paint everything as if its wonderful, and I don't know if you see it but you're severely in the minority. (edit, lol, said majority)

We're not better players than you because of this, but you'll also note that a lot of us have a lot more experience with recent content than you do. I love to ride the roller coaster at six flags, but I'd be complaining if they closed down every other ride. I'd have harsh words for the guy saying "But guys, calm down, I rode the roller coaster once, and it was so much fun."

(Yeah yeah, I know, past events aren't closed, but there's little point in doing them.)

Yeah forums, people love to step in and judge others. The more negative you are the more likes you get. Because its better to trash people, complain, and never look on the bright side of things.

And last 2 months he did do a Great job. This post has nothing to do with Vanafest or anything else.

Your post made me lose respect for you.

This boils down to *you* saying to all the new people:

Ya guys, I totally did all the content before SoA came out... It was AWESOME! Too bad for you since you shouldn't (can't) do it because no one does.

I'm glad you know me and no that I have no interest in several VW fights, nor Odin II, nor old salvage, and new.

Oh wait, I do.

Open your eyes. I don't see SoA the same as VW, Odin, Salvage. I see a new direction much easier than previous content. No resist on mobs yay enfeebling actually works. No more endless quests and missions. No daily time restrictions on events. No more camping endless hours for bosses, no more competing with others to fight a boss...

To me that's improvement.

Need I say more? Seriously you are only proving that nothing is good enough and you will never be satisfied.

There were people who max upgraded to 15 in less than 2 week on Delve gears. Much more easier than REM trials.

That reply wasn't directed at you, which should have been clear.

Have we already forgotten how item levels came out of nowhere and are very recent? How can you even judge whether Matsui is doing a good job when the jury is out on item levels, Wildskeeper Reives are a bust, no RME upgrade are on the horizon, and situation with enmity is pretty much the same as it was pre-Adoulin?

I will say that Delve is an excellent event, and I have high praise for whoever came up with that. It is what Legion could have been.

I may not be on the game 24/7 to know more than you and have more experience than you but it doesn't take a phd to know a rollercoaster ride is technically the same.. a rollercoaster.

Oh wait.. It does.

Last 2 updates should have shown you that the man was very busy. I just don't understand how hard it is to see that? Can't build a nation in 1 day, 1 week, 1 month... And 2 months these updates tell the story pretty clearly.

This should also tell you they are still busy.

Skirmish gear example augments - stuff is item level 113.

Remember, the old Skirmish augmentation process was random within a pool, and we already know there are 3 tiers of new augment stones, so these are probably just mid to high-range sample results, not necessarily the best (or worst) possible results, and not necessarily the only possible augments (although PDT is obviously guaranteed on everything).

I was pretty happy with the game pre-adoulin. Me and my friends rebuilt my PLD. We had fun, we were doing plenty of things.

We were doing Limbus farming, Voidwatch, Dynamis farming, Neo-Limbus, Salvage, Salvage II, random stupid things in abyssea. We were building empies. We were having fun. I built an aegis and then made Pankorator chainspell me just because I could. I built an Ochain just to make certain things easier (Ochain v. Bukhis).

You assume that because I'm smart enough to see that there's no point in doing most/any of that stuff now that I wanted it to go away. You assume I don't like helping people. You assume way too much.

I don't assume anything but content will always evolve. Which is SoA now. He said he will fill in the gaps and correct REM. I just don't expect DEV Team to be robots. Between sleep hours and work, coding is not easy but I can see they aren't just sitting under the AC drinking Starbucks doing nothing.

Even if they put in 100 hours a week, 2 updates shows how much work they did.

Thanks for posting those sets and stats, those are what I was referring to in the other thread when you suggested a trade-in system for abjurations. Many of these pieces look like they will provide a good mix of pdt and def that trumps a lot of our existing options.

Now, with that said. If the man is busy, that's fine. I believe that he is doing what he believes is best for the game. But regardless, everything he puts out will be judged, especially if he is taking the game in a brand new direction. You will have to forgive the people who played FFXI for 10 years, because the current game is not the same FFXI anymore.

If we hate it, we'll let him know. And by that I mean we'll let each other know and hope that the JPs are complaining about the same thing.

Well I've only been playing since day 1 but I guess I'm not experienced enough to make opinions.

You said it not me.

I've only taken 2 weeks off. But I guess 2 weeks is a lot of experience to miss out on.

This should also tell you they are still busy.

Except that in a right mind you try to fix what's broken/what needs to be fixed before releasing new things. Enmity doesn't work? No problem, here's some new battlefields. Fixing RMEs? Let's release even more powerful weapons first.

That's not what I call doing your job right and I don't want to look on the bright side because when less than 1000 people are online it means that only a few people thing there's one.

Uh Skirmish was broken because people had a reason to skip it, I think he's trying to fix it why else the new gear?

He already said he was going to fix REM. hopefully before Christmas would be nice.

New expansion needs to be a success, not old content that's been around years. And SoA was failing but now its getting better. If I was a DEV id do the same.

Failing the new expansion would make FFXI fail. Everyone did pay for it and if it became a failure a huge portion of the community would have rage quit because of it.

Disappointment on top of REM would have made it a done deal.

You did, when you said you talked about your WK experience.

And that wasn't an attack on you, you just honestly seem to have less experience with the recent content than a lot of the people you're vehemently arguing with.

I've only played XI since 2007, with 2 breaks totally about 2 years. If you wanna talk about old endgame and old mechanics, I can't even begin to fairly represent anything. What I'm talking about is what your OP is praising: current content. And, currently, all they seem to want us to be doing is delve, wk, and skirmish, no matter the objections.
