Development Team Downsizing and Justification Makes no Sense

[DoctooOkay]

I am curious, how does someone spitefully maintain a wiki?

[Dragoy]

I'm speculating of course, but it may just be the people who worked on TVR.

I don't know about the others, but the story writer seems to have been Yaeko Sato, who also did the Windurst missions and some other things I can't find my notes on right now... and they've also been working on X|V already as well.

All in all, I imagine it might just be Fujito going forward now...

1.You aren't trustworthy enough to be running the only resource for ffxi, given recent developments.
2.Spite is one of your primary drives to do anything.

Recent developments? Lol

Even if I were to do something out of spite. Does that mean it's a negative result? No, not at all.

Someone in your position should not be promoting things that damage the game, which you do.

I'm going to be nosey now. What does Spicy promote?

[DoctooOkay]

I believe this has something to do with Cat's Eye being on their podcast recently.

Uhhhh.... he doesnt run the only resource for FFXI? Most popular maybe, buit far from the only.

I don't recall the exact context of that, but I assume it was about how one day Cloepdia will be gone and we should collectively work on a single resource or something. Not that it matters, just the comment was made and I don't even remember because lol.

You sound like Lindart12/RadialArcana now. Lol.

I've mentioned them. They haven't been on.

nah nah nah, that doesn't add up. I have distinctly heard many people say that you and the Cat's Eye devs were actively plotting sabatoging Retail for your own personal gain.

I'm on to you and your games Sp1cy. If that is even your real name.

there's still the possibility they could remaster it under a new engine, streamline some of the clunkiness, etc. etc. and get some pretty decent sales with it if they ever decide to do that.

FFXI is one of the longest running live-service games ever made, in a world today where such games are being shutdown left and right, FFXI is still going, and they're clearly committed to keeping it going.

Personally they should port it over to XIV's Engine, Which would get the entire MMO development team working on the same game engine. If they can keep the worlds separate with their own levelling systems etc. The big issue would be how much would current players be able to keep if they can transfer their characters to the new updated game. Would be a bonus if you could hop between Vana'diel and Eorzea, and it would mean you'd be able to continue Vana'diel's storyline. Probably a significant cost issue to do so but I can see adavantages to doing that (Plus a unified sub fee and no more POL)
