Look, more people overreacting! link
Too bad that he didn't complain about the community protesting, he complained about websites spreading obvious misrepresentations that anyone playing the beta could easily see as false.
Thing that he had every right to do.
Maybe you should check your facts better before spreading more misinformation.
Too bad he said FOREIGN SITES instead of naming specific sites, as if all foreign sites do are try to bash him. Besides, anybody who knows anything about press relations knows you either explain the system or publicly announce that they are false, instead of making a tweet with a sweeping generalization to the only demographic who already knew that those were false rumors.
He. Handled. It. Badly.
Foreign sites were actually spreading false rumors, so he said exactly that foreign sites were spreading false rumors. Nowhere he said that ALL foreign sites were spreading false rumors.
The one implying a generalization when there's none is you. Oversensitiveness is the worst enemy of intelligent journalism.
Sorry to burst a bubble, but he said nothing else than what actually happened.
heck I remember when this happened and FFXIVcore.com had to reign back its posts because half of them were false rumourmongering
Yea I remember that whole deal. I said much worse than he did to people on forums = D
People were freaking out and believing that "Only get to play 8 hours" stuff despite those of us in beta saying "Dude, that's a lie". It got to be quite frustrating.
"Foreign sites have lots of false rumors. They throw together rumors and fabricate remarks."
"Forum posters lack intelligence. They miss implications and argue based on them."
Is the 2nd one generalizing forum posters? Yes, if you can say that, then Tanaka's tweet was generalizing foreign sites as well. You are reading into it that he's only talking about certain sites, but the wording used is saying that all foreign sites do that.
Reading comprehension is useful for being offended. No where did I say I was offended, but yes, he handled it badly. Also way to ignore the part that was most relevant, where he tweeted about how foreign sites are full of falsities to the only demographic that already knew that instead of letting the foreign players know the truth.
LOL you're posting some obvious mistranslations of his tweets, intentionally made up by some trolls to make them quite a lot worse than they were. Reading comprehension fails when it lacks the ability to read a language and comes with a guillible attitude.
Funny that you talk about "wording" when quite obviously you can't even read japanese. Wording of what?
Tanaka did absolutely nothing else than calling it like it actually was. That's all there's to it.
It's funny though, that the second obvious mistranslation/misrepresentation you posted is actually SO true. Some posts in this very thread and many others in this forum demonstrate it fully.
Yay you ignore the fact that he handled it badly in favor of attacking me instead!
You're great at this, huh? But you yourself sure didn't care about the "mistranslation" that was "intentionally mistranslated by trolls" until I actually used it against you.
I'm done with you :0
Attacking you? Sorry mate, but demolishing your arguments based on hearsay and misinformation and pointing out that you shouldn't talk about "wording" when you obviously don't know what such wording is (since you lack the language tools to read it), doesn't equate to attacking you.
I ignored nothing. He simply called things as they were, which doesn't equate to "handling it badly".
Why, pray tell, should I give any attention to a mistranslation?Quote:
