BYE TANAKA!

[Dragoy]

Have to say that he does look a lot more healthy than during the Vana'Fest stream!

Could be due to the lighting I guess... in any case, I don't see why people need to bring their ill manners here. Whether or not one likes what he has or has not done, doesn't need to be heard (or read) here, methinks. :]

There's no denying he did lots of good, and should be granted the most well-mannered farewells.


Done.

Whether or not the blame for some bad decisions rests with him or his team, it's safe to say they put in a massive amount of work into trying to make FFXI the best it can be.

Take care Tanaka.

It's perfectly ok to criticize, even under the circumstances. Just do it in another thread.

I don't think you get to decide that. Also the title is "BYE TANAKA!" That could be taken more than one way.

U BUTTHURT MAD CASUALS, aren't gonna be saved with or wothout him.

The direction of the game and anything related to endgame is going to require dedication, team work and luck.

Neo Salvage and Dungeon crawling will cemet this standard in place.

If they add someone that doeswnt require team work, lil luck and dedication, the gear will not exceed that of Prov watcher/VW, let alone NI.

The days of getting the best gear via ABYSSEA level ease are dead, and gone. Forever.

This is endgame, with or woithout tanaka.

I look forward to seeing who you guys blame next, haha!

bye tanaka and thx for aspidochelone^^

Posting this again as the thread got derailed - play nice people!

Community team, is there any method by which we can write to Square-Enix and our thank you notes etc. be passed on to Tanaka-san?

I blame you. I hope Tanaka spends the first several years of his retirement going down a list of people who posted stupid stuff like what you just wrote, finding them, and slapping the snot out of them for bashing on his fans.

PS. finish leveling your whm, you "casual".


I wouldn't be surprised to see Tanaka working for another gaming company and / or doing some writing over the next few years. He could probably write some awesome stuff still.

Holy necrobump batman... on that note is it too soon to rehire him again?
