Greetings from the Producer!

[Lynchilles]

Welcome, Mr. Matsui. Looking forward to the future of Vana'diel

If I can request one thing Mr. Matsui. Please do not listen to the official forums...

Reading is all good, but granting requests from the official forums. Yeah, not so much :\

Some ideas are good, so not listening would be daft, that's what f***ed FFXIV up.

Don't listen to EVERYONE but do listen to some people, even unbalanced ideas, as developers they can balance them to useful and fair.

I would not bake a cake with mix that contained mercury. :|

A request made with most of the community agreeing on something that would benefit the game doesn't sound damaging to me.

For instance, they finally fixed almost all of PUP's automaton issues when this forum started because it was requested and complained about.

They've listened to our requests/suggestions about redoing the whole UI.

Being able to report localization and in-game problems/suggestions from the test server and the game itself is great.

Remember when they fixed Bully? Remember when they changed Abyssea Empyrean NMs' ???s from 1 to 3?

They added the the Pulse Cell system to help those seeking some of the valued items in Voidwatch.

I'm sure there's much more that I can't think of at the moment, but I can't see any of this ever happening without this forum.

Imagine how many people would have quit the game if this forum wasn't here when they introduced Click & Buy and eliminated payment by Direct Credit Cards.

What I'm trying to say is, a lot of good has come from this forum. A company opening up to their customers for feedback about their product is not always a bad thing.

Putting that aside, I also welcome the new producer and hope for a bright future in Vana'diel!

Thank you,

What is this, I don't even..

I think your notions about the forums are more grounded in feelings more so than what is actually the case. They have a hand in shaping this game, but they are not as groundbreaking as you are making them out to be.

Wouldn't that lead him to ignore your request for him to ignore the forums? Empyreal Paradox!

Welcome, Matsui-san! I hope that you can lead the charge into making FFXI a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

May I suggest that for your first task, you re-examine these new 2hr abilities. :/

I second this.

[Komori]

I second this.

He can't. You just barred him from taking any ideas from the people of the forum and actually using this, he must do the opposite now.
