What new Jug Pets would you like to see 91-99?

For those of you who voted for scorpion, I understand your disappointment. However, please realize that though this was the number one pick for EN players, this selection was based off of all regions. Also, please keep in mind that the dev. team needs to consider all aspects of potential implementation and therefore has to make the final call themselves.

Trust me when I say that your feedback is not a waste of time and you are not being ignored. I make sure that your opinions are properly conveyed to the development as best as I can and I continue to work with them, following up when necessary, to bring them updates and any new suggestions you have.

The only way you'll coinvince people here that there is no favoritisim is if you show is the vote tallies and break it down by forum section (JP/EN/FR/DE)

Because some people have looked around and it doesn't look like the votes are in line with what you said.

I love ya camate but it shouldn't be that difficult to release the results. If they are tallied even a table of what option got what % of the votes would convince people.

[Dreamin]

From the post, it sounds like that's a non issue because scorpion didn't win, when the grand total of all votes from all regions (America, Japan, and Europe) were totaled.

Not sure you follow but it was Camate that said Scorpion won in this post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...867#post200867

Going to go ahead and bookmark this until this is resolved. Don't care about bst, but this is a major PR blunder unless some evidence shows the hippo actually won global voting. There is a large disparity in the amount of total votes in the NA thread vs the JP thread. The hippo would have had to have been practically a unanimous pick in other regions to have canceled out its lackluster finish in the NA thread.

Maybe it was tallied with each regions winning mob getting only 1 vote.

Like NA scorp won so NA's vote would be: Scorp (1) and JP and say German's winning mob was hippo(2), so they tallied it like hippo won 2 to 1 with scorp?

So more regions voted for the Hippogryph.

In this case it was the Germans that tilted the balance 2-1 in favor of hippo
Lesson learned: Get your German and French friends to outvote the JPs. It doesn't matter how many votes the NA forum has.

wow this is messed up... so what was the point of the poll again if it wasn't used?

[Granny]

why in the world wouldnt the votes be released at the end anyways... you'd think it being posted would just be a given, why is there always something fishing going on when SE is involved lol.

There's a fair amount of interest in the Hippo on the German forums but only 4 actual votes for it. Even if you count the ones that just included it in their top picks it still loses and like I said before the french didn't even cast a single vote lol. It's haggard no matter how you spin it. I think if we could just get an explanation of what these things the dev team had to consider were it would shut a lot of us up if they make any sense at all. This isn't one of those "Take our word for it" situations.
