I wont answer the question for 2 reasons:
1) I dont know, and dont care enough about the topic to look it up.
2) It's irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make.

My issue this whole time has been saying "The directors have changed and tanaka is back and it's terrible because the game is going to hell!" thinking Tanaka was the director, and that he quit and came back, wheas in fact he was the producer and has been here all the time.

I'm defending him because you, and everyone else who my post addresses have no basis for your stance against him. I'm not defending him as a person because of the oh so great things he has done. I could give a damn. I'm defending him being blamed for this new direction change because people mistakenly thought he was the director, recently came back and thus it's because of that that the game is now headed in the direction it is.

You know what this shit boils down to? People saying shitty Voidwatch drops are because of Tanaka's return. People ignore the fact that New Dynamis came around the same time and by this forum's standards is very un-Tanaka'ish. They also ignore the fact that Tanaka was here throughout the whole of abyssea, more un-Tanaka content, or that the new WoE is also very un-Tanaka'ish content (As stated multiple times: people complaining about coin drops are doing the wrong flux).

If Tanaka really was away, and now he truely has returned, and it's his return that brought about crappy drop systems and low drop rates like Voidwatch, then please explain to me Walk of Echoes and Dynamis, which were revamped around the same time, and have very good drop rates?
