It's offiical....SE no longer gives a darn about FFXI.

[Krystal]

That's not true, the new head of XI's dev team atm is from the original dev team. He was one battle director of xi before the promotion.



Also the old dev team was not canned for FFXIV's flop, the team got reorganized and some stayed there some went back here. I beleive Tanaka is back on XI and has posted on the boards recently about the crysta donation relief effort. You have to understand that Yoshi-P is a very interactive guy, where as the staff from XI isn't so much so. They are trying their best, and from how they used to run things I say they are doing a good job. They have recently put much more of an effort in trying to please the playerbase than they have in the past.

The community representatives have stated themselfs that they do indeed read every post here, but to sit there and respond to each one individually would be unreasonable. XI has a smaller dev team than XIV does, and similarly they have a smaller community team to interface with us.

well it was from my standpoint that it seemed like they did not care. i wouldn't expect them to respond to ALL topics. but it would be nice to see more interaction if they are as you say"reading every post".

1. Maybe one reason as to why the "higher ups" post on FFXIV forum, is that there is a LOT more work to be done with that game to make it even remotely as successful as FFXI?

Also, very much this:

Have you even seen the amount of absolute nonsense posted on this forum? I pity these people, having to read everything on here trying to find the few ideas/suggestions/whatever else, that are well thought out and deserve a response.

2. Krystal, from what I have read of your posts, you seem to be so angry and dissatisfied with FFXI, I don't even understand why you are playing. I really, truly don't.

its what not wat

The Development Team wouldn't ever be posting in the English forums. If you're waiting for them to reply to something here, it just won't happen. Tanaka-san himself has posted on the JP forums, though it was in regards to the Crysta donation business. Developer interaction is here. However, it comes to this foreign language subforum in the form of the English Community Team. They read this site a great deal, and they do respond to great ideas. It is no surprise, however, that there is less visible communication here than on the JP forum when the Community Team is basically working as a middle man between us and the Developers.

well if that is the case then i agree with another topic posted in this forum. we need translated versions of posts from the Japanese forums. so we KNOW the dev team is listening. instead of a 3rd party community team acting as "the middle man"

I think there is something seriously wrong with you. Have you had a psyche evaluation... ever?

TL/DR

For those who don't know.. krystal makes a bunch of threads about stupid ideas.. they mad when devs don't implement them ^^

[Ravenmore]

I'm enjoying the game and everything the devs have been trying to do. Is it perfect no, is it a start yes. FF14 has so much to catch up on so its understandable that they would get more updates on what they plan to do with it. If SE really didn't care bout FF11 they wouldn't give us anything and just given us 99 already and called it a day.

i said SE not the dev staff in charge. okay so it goes like this..you got the higher ups who run SE then you got the dev staff who work under them. that's the point.

And if he really wants to try to go that route, that's been the case for several years.

Square-Enix has proven fully incapable of putting together one robust MMO -- what made anyone think they could do two?

FFXI was actually awesome when it first was released..sure there were bugs and such but they fixed most of them. but the last year or so the attention to improving FFXI has dropped and they are just throwing in stuff to make players happy atm rather then add new exciting content.
