Gratification to Matsui

This also prevents splitting 1 post into 5-10 replies for 1 response. Which I find unnecessary and wasting forum space.

Try typing on a 4 inch smartphone then you'll see what I mean.

I'm curious if the FFXIV team and FFXI team ever get together and discuss design.

How do you think the ideas for Cait Sith and Pet:Treasure Hunter gear was so quickly implemented! Oh wait...

Is this even about expressiing gratitude to Mr. Matsui anymore?

[Demon6324236]

No, its not, if I am correct at one point it went from being out being grateful to him, to why he does not deserve gratitude.

Well Umichi it's the truth as to why Matsui doesn't deserve it: He does not listen to NA or EU, in fact let's just add in the rest of the globe because the only players he listens to are his JP players. He does not care about what we think, he only accepts ideas from the Japanese, which typically are things we don't typically agree on because their way of thinking is different than ours simply because of culture. Because of this, NA/EU/SA will butt heads with JP BECAUSE OF THIS. Matsui works hard there is no doubt about that, and yes some of the things he's done has been good, but he needs to step up his game or else he's going to be remembered as a horrible developer to FFXI's history.

Truth be told, he's got things to fix, and he needs to stop focusing on the new content to fix these issues. In short: Stop trying to pacify the playerbase, stop being lazy, and get s--t done. If I was his supervisor and I saw this kind of conduct being done, I would personally get on his case because that's not how one conducts themselves, idc what the terms of service says about us only having the right to quit, we also have the right to be talked to like the JP players and know wtf is going on with a game we're shelling out a monthly fee for, and find out why they are putting the more important/crucial things on backburner while they try to woo us with these items with absurd stats, why they won't increase lvl cap but they have no problem adding 'item levels' which is a stupid concept altogether, we really don't care what the lvl is on the item, it's for lvl 99 and that's all one needs to know.

Lol an advance discussion was made here that might change your point of view. Too much to repost here but read that first before you guys decide whether or not Matsui deserves gratification.

Daemon I know that he's doing a good job concerning the new content, but what I'm saying is that if he wants to -really- deserve gratification, he'll bring up old promises and finish up what the devs started concerning job fixes and adding things like Cait Sith to the list of summons. For god's sakes, summoner hasn't had anything new in terms of magic save for Odin/Alex but you only get them once an hour (More if you are in an area that has revitalizers). I think if he wants to please at least some of the community, he could start there and make it look like he cares about getting the game in a better state and work on the jobs that need fixing *Cough*Blue Mage*Cough*
