Development Team Downsizing and Justification Makes no Sense

[Sp1cyryan]

The point they are making is that Yoshi P said ff16 would not impact ff14 and ff11 development and it very much did, and will continue to do so after release because they still need to amke the pc port.

A lot of the core people are no longer free to work on the games they were employed to work on because they are working on 16, a lot of the testing teams can't test new content for 11 and 14 because they are busy with 16.

He flat out lied, because he knew 11 and 14 players can be treated poorly and they won't leave. HE also knew that any problems can be offset by adding a new $30 mount to the cash shop.

Stop crying about the fact that the world moves on, plans change, and that XI is not getting attention. Stop making up the narrative on everything external to the matter as if XI is just being held back by circumstantial decisions on other FF titles. It's not, and you constantly just spew nonsense.

I'm paying for a service and I'm getting less for my money because the people running the division are asshats making braindead decisions and taking 11 and 14 players for granted, they are even alienating ff14 players in large numbers as seen in that thread with hundreds of likes. We all know what they are doing and there is nothing we can do about it but we are allowed to complain about it at the very least.

They just released a much wanted mount on 14 that should of been a content drop as a $30 cash shop, after reducing content additions to help pay for the money being wasted on 16 again. They keep doing it cause they know people will just put up with it.

Alhanelem is a yoshiP fanboy, I know what he is and accept him as that and expect nothing else. You however are just a tit lately.

Build a bridge and get over it. The world doesn't revolve around FFXI. Stop blaming everything on anything else.

I'm not a yoshi P fanboy lol I could really not care less. I'm just calling out falsehoods as such. You say so much BS about FFXIV and you don't even play the *##$ game so you have no idea what you're talking about. I mean really, if I'm a YoshiP fanboy, what does that make you, being 100% intolerant of anything that you even PERCIEVE as affecting FFXI in a negative way? the hilarity of being called a fanboy by someone like you, lol.

There has not been less content this expansion. It's really as simple as that. Some weirdo on a forum not liking XYZ content does not make it "not content." And they have every right to sell whatever they want on their stupid little cash shop.

I am 10000% a FFXI fanboy and if you were a FFXIV fanboy I could understand that just fine, but being a fanboy of a developer and defending them when they are obviously shortchanging your game to build up some other game (ff16) is absolutely pathetic and yes you are a YoshiP fanboy. He could punch you in the face and you would instinctively say thank you and look for a fly he must of been swatting away.

If I cared about 14 as much as I care about 11 I would be even more annoyed, cause it makes even more money for the company and they are treating it poorly too.

Longer and longer gaps between updates, less content being added, more cash shop pap being added, increased prices of cash shop pap, lower quality ingame rewards to sell the cash shop ones.

Build a bridge and get over it. The world doesn't revolve around FFXI.

As far as the places I post about it, yes it does.

I and many other people know exactly what the person in charge is doing, they are using the resources that could be used for 11 and 14 and putting them into 16 and if there are any financial problems because of it we get to bail them out either with more and more cash shop pap at higher and higher prices or lowered budget (both of these have already happened to both games)

All ff11 and ff14 players hould be outraged they had the MMO division make 16, because it was done for low down dirty reasons. And those reasons are as I said, if it flops we can cover the costs form the mmorpgs.

Hes honestly just deflecting, if anyone would want to complain about that this would def be the place. Who is he to say you can't post your opinion about that here? lol. I think he is the one that needs to get over things.

Seriously, get over yourself. FF14 does not have less content this expansion, the post you cited is absolutely full of Bull to the S, and FFXI support was winding down before FF16 development even started.

No. Even with the disagreements we have, I can safely say Pixela is oceans more full of it than literally anyone else on this forum. He is literally just jumping on everything he can find to crap on SE for supposedly ruining FFXI, even if it has no basis in reality or truth whatsoever, as is the case here. He really does need to get over it. Nothing can change the past, if he hates SE so much he should stop giving them money, it really is that simple, and not rain on everyone else's parade for not hating them as much as he does for supposedly ruining his entire livelyhood.

You however are just a tit lately.

guess my status as legacy player AKA FF14's 1.0 would ticks u even more, eh... lol

Anyhoo... as part of FF14 player base, we majority don't feel being alienated, in fact hugely grateful since Yoshi-P actually does more & beyond his call of duty. That legendary Maidy (who already passed away quite recently) which creates the franchise Dad of Light are one major proof how deep he connects with his player base. Heck... us player base has been continously praising him, one of which when alot youtube content creator made this huge community song (even invite one of official singer to take part as well). He even couldn't hold his cries for instance when Soken, FF14 main composer, announced his battle with cancer on live announcement. Don't forget that he does the impossible of saving FF franchise by reviving failure of 1.0 into astounding success of Realm Reborn with only a year (or even less), granted that he does have to recycled assets from other FF franchise, but it works!

Those you probably saw complains over OF are just very minority of them, & probably totally oblivious of ingame feature called Achievements, or in FF11's case: Records of Eminence, even that one gave more like gil income for new & casual players who aren't keen with AH market juggling for example.

Get your fact straight before making biased view on Yoshi-P or FF14 player base, again... this is a legacy player who never stop playing FF14 since 2.0 relaunch, with only occasional semi-hiatus when FF11's free login campaign arrives (semi as still doing weekly stuff over FF14 ASAP so that I can focus more on my limited free time on FF11).

oh & btw... community response to FF16 actually very positive from various tweets pinged on my mobile. Yoshi-P been doing this at least since FF14's Shadowbringers, making us felt less expected & only got totally blown away with awe when it actually releases. And he really mean it, some of player base even got emotionally touched, something majority of us didn't even expect just from trailers & various demos. That's how Yoshi-P does, even FF16 already starts making ppl awed already on that playable demo.

To be clear I wasn't talking about he massive wealth of new cash shop content.

FF16 should of never been allowed to be made by the MMMORPG division, that's all there is and you defending it says it all about you.

[Alhanelem]

To be clear I wasn't talking about he massive wealth of new cash shop content.

And neither was I. But there is nothing massive about the new cash shop content. In fact that has probably seen the least updates this expansion compared to any previous.

It's obvious to me that you simply believe whatever you want to believe. You certainly can do that, but believing doesn't make something true. Now I could take this in a certain and likely unpleasant direction, but I won't do that because that's not who I am and I also don't want to be judged based on what I'm really wanting to say right now. So I won't.
