Welcome, I Thank you for just giving us a little hope.

I can not wait for you to get us out of the stone age of this game and move us to a amazing future for the next 10 yrs, may it be better then the last. Even a catapillar can turn into something amazing.

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing what direction FFXI takes

[Rosina]

Btw the jp forums are actually more polite in some cases then we are... all ppl do here is type insults. Heck even the ffxiv forums got better >.>;; sorta...

Anyway
Welcome! I hope you do well with ffxi, I look forward to your changes and ideas, and lead this game out of the slum it is in. I hope you re examine the current style of leveling players are doing and opt for a more productive form that stalls leechering, and possible look to making allience leveling less plausable. But do so in away that makes as many people happy.

I also hope for a re examination at all the content that goes un used. And do what you can to give players a "reason" to do them. I never got a chance to do garrisons or do eco war. And would love for these to be seen again.

Al my hopes are for a fun open mmorpg again, not the closed solo online game it turned into.

From a non final fantasy fan, but a long time mmorpg gamer.

ps add mumor eternal vena illusion as a dancer ability ^^;; that be epic.

Hello Mr. Akihiko Matsui we know that you will have little control over what is implemented in this game, but if you tell us the names of those actually responsible for screw ups the community will hate you less than Tanaka honest injun

Hello and welcome ^.^
Hope that you have a great time in the boss seat. Maybe we could see you come out onto each server for a day and say hi to everyone in White gate or something. Any ways just wanted to say hello.

/em mumbles something about getting to force a critical magic spell every 7-10 min (meritable) and being happy.
